There are only three more days to go before we can all start planning our diaries for next season and find out just when we return to Old Trafford and Anfield.
Monday 18th June at 9am sees the release of the fixtures for the season and saints supporters will finally be able to see that our seven years in the wilderness are finally over. Funnily enough in that time although we have played a few premier teams at home in the cups, we have rarely been drawn away from home the only away ties of significance being trips to Newcastle and Man City so most saints fans will be looking forward to playing the big guns on their own turf again.
Perhaps the most eagerly awaited fixture is the trip to Arsenal as of course we have never played at the Emirates, that along with Wigan being the two stadia in the Premier we have yet to grace.
