Dr Who?

Yep

There support has always been really poor. Such a small place in a valley. So many teams in that small area in the north west and you have Liverpool, Everton, Man U and Man City all close by. Wigan are another one that struggle and Bolton!

The last time we played Palace in the FA Cup, we won the thing! Our record is pretty evening. Games won: 40 Games drawn: 22 Games lost: 34 But won 6 of the last 7 against them.

I spent the evening with him and Dodd and a group of my friends, in the old Saints social club at the Dell, in 1998, he also lied to me and said the company was brilliant. I also used to serve him and Simon Charlton before this in the early to mid 90's at Pizzaland. They used to come in after training nearly every week.

Should have been quicker

If anyone lets me down I hope it is Spurs. No, line, hook or sinker here, just more fun to play along.

They can still have that ice cream if they so wish! They can also have dinner, clothes and heating!

If everyone took every thread as personal or related it to a personal issue in their lives, then many threads would be deleted. Ok there are some very sad cases of gambling the are very serious, but I do sensible bets for fun. Nothing serious. I too know someone who has lost a lot through gambling, but as last checked it is not illegal to make a bet.

That is what I said. Went to both, but not the Man U game. Also went to the Luton game. Was the 2nd season that I went to all home games and started doing a few away. QPR and Chelsea, where Matty scored in both. No everything about the games from 88- to the end of the 90 season, like they were yesterday.

No they are not silly.... Hmmm

I have also not betted my house on these games, you will note it is £5, which is less than many household spend on the many lottos out the. Come to to think of it, you spend more on a pint and a half or a pack of cigarettes. Stop moaning!

Well I did have a bet on Saints. There are some FA Cup games and we are in the FA Cup still. Like the other Saturday's/Sunday game threads when we are not playing..... They stay in here.

That match against Liverpool below in 1989 was the first were I remember seeing Matty have a great game in a great team performance. Up front was Shearer, Matty, Rideout and Rod Wallace and we just went at them! On another day they would have picked us off! The week before we went to QPR and won by the same score line.... http://www.11v11.com/matches/southampton-v-liverpool-21-october-1989-89455/

Well here is my accumulator. I never have Saints on there as we always seem to screw up. When we lost to Sheffield United I had a 6 team accumulator and Saints let me down. That's the latest of many. I have the below and a single for Saints though 3-2. Any of you lot have an accumulator? These are ALL home teams. 10 Fold Accumulator(s) @ 47.58/1 Manchester City Chelsea Derby Sunderland Tottenham Watford Shrewsbury Wolves MK Dons Barnet Stake £5.00 Potential Returns £242.90

First I remember was the opening day of the 88/89 season when he came on as a sub against West Ham late on. He scored a pretty good goal late on, in a 4-0 win. This start to the season also saw us hit the summit for the last time in top flight, as we went on to beat QPR away 0-1, Luton home 2-1 before visiting Arsenal while we were top of the table. We were 2-0 up before being pegged back in the 81st minute and the 9th minute of injury time (due to a broken jaw of cockerill. This was the same season we went 21 games without a win, before Ruddock score a pen in injury time at the Dell to beat Newcastle 1-0. Was a strange season,but Matty was in and out of it all season. Was also the first season I went to every game at home.

We were shocking against a Sheffield United side in the cup. Just the way it goes. United will run out 4/5-0 winners at OT.

Born and grew up in Southampton. Flirted with Everton in the mid 80's, because it annoyed my dad and my cousin was an Everton season ticket holder. So glad I saw the light!

My first kit was the pin striped Denmark style kit, with 9, Clarke on the back. Funnily enough, got it done just around the last time we won at OT, before last weekend.

Over the next 6 games we will be above them again. Come end of season I have a feeling we will not be! Man City have not been great this season in spells, but when they click they are bloody ruthless!

Hey danger mouse, I am around the other way. Grew up in Southampton and ended up in Royston, where my wife Liz Jones grew up, via Guildford, Reading, Cheltenham, back to Southampton. Moved to Royston in 2006. I am the big 40 and my wife is 33. She grew up on the Grange!

So which red team in the final this time? As it will not be Newcastle!

Well there is at least 3. I think most on here would want yellow over blue?

No more tattoos please

Get him signed up. Did not realise until mentioned how good he was for the Netherlands, in the build up to the South Africa World Cup! Got to take a punt on him.

All I was say was on paper, you would think 6 wins, if these were dotted over the season, rather than 6 in a row. Likely we will win 4 max.
