One thing is certain, unless Southampton either sign some new defenders or change their style of play a bit they will take some serious beatings next season. They conceded 63 goals in the championship, so translate that to the PL and it doesn't bode well.
They were very inconsistent all season, when they were bad they were awful! Imagine having one of their off days against City or Arsenal
For example, not many promoted teams lose 5-0 twice! More positively for the neutral at least, they've also won 5-0, 5-3, 4-3, 4-2, drawn 4-4 and lost 4-1.

I remember Martin being under pressure early on, they lost 4 in a row and had just 10 points from 8 games. But then they didn't lose for 5 months so fair play to the owner for sticking with him.
