No, it's not related to the current season.

Here is another clue , what do the 3 promoted teams and the league 1 champion team all have in common?

If you don't get it after this clue, my next and final clue will give it away.

I've been happy to see the promotion of all 3 teams in Reading, Southampton and West Ham into the EPL.

In particular it's great to see the Saints and Hammers back in the top flight where they had belonged for many years. It's great to see Southampton back and I can only wish them all the best this year.

The key for them to staying up next season is strong home form and signing quite a few players from the EPL to be able to compete.

Pardew me for not picking Mr Pardew earlier. That is quite an amazing stat. You could say he leaves places in better shape than when he arrives. He's certainly got the Geordies performing well.

To be honest I'm pretty happy with 14th. United's record certainly is impressive when you look at the games played to games won.

Wait til the salery cap comes in tho .. That's when we make our move up the ladder.

After a year of consolidation it looks like the trophy cabinet is about to expand. At least we got a better result out of the Hawthorns on the other side of the world this weekend.

"Rickie Lambert capped a dream week by scoring a last-minute penalty to give Southampton a 1-0 victory at The Hawthorns. The 31-year old netted the winner for England against Scotland on his international debut in midweek, and was on hand to claim a win for his club by coolly dispatching his spot-kick after Youssouf Mulumbu had fouled Luke Shaw in the area."

"Southampton manager Mauro Pochettino: "Overall, Lambert's having a dream week, everything is going well for him but the greatest thing about this whole story about Rickie Lambert is that he deserves everything that he�s getting because he�s a brilliant person and a great footballer."

Perfect start to the season.

A very good result by your mob Jack.

Cheers Jezza. Great result alright. Rapt for Lambert. Makes his Premier League debut aged 30 and International debut aged 31 ... and scores with his very first touch. I suppose bloody Arsenal will try and poach him now. Interesting that Southampton have changed to a black away jumper this year ... for a 100% win record so far. Go you Abbotsford Saints.
