Stud mark of doom

Also, 6 of those games have been top 6 sides - so 2 more difficult games than you might expect in a run of 14. (And we’ve taken 7points from those 6 games - so even our form against the top six is good enough to stay up!)

Not a fan of Lowe at all but - A) wasn’t the timing down to Barclays B) surely he wound have got more from Sisu than from the subsequent admin outcome

Compared to the majority of clubs, we don’t really have any “difficulties”. Certainly Coventry put things into perspective. A close shave for sure.

If we hadn’t brought in RaHa, the relegation spots would have been done and dusted in the premiership now.

In the last game I noticed Ralf gesticulating to the crowd, quite animatedly, to “calm down, ffs”, as the atmosphere became rather frustrated at a sideways pass or two. I’ve never seen that before - quite a thing for a manager to challenge the home crowd. I think we scored about 20 seconds later.

He’s probably feeling a little flat now.

Maybe it was a tribute to Peter Crouch?

Ole must win it. Amazing if that’s not the case. I’m sure Ralph will turn out to be the better manager longer term but over the last month surely there’s only one winner?

Rod Wallace was 1 April 1989. April fools day. 20 plus games without a win. Last minute. Definite pen.

Plus there was that offside in ‘76.

The one against Blackburn in the last minute of luggy’s last game. 3-2 win for us.

That was the season Arsenal won the title at Anfield. (Without the extra time for Paul Davis’s punch on Glenda, they wouldn’t have won it.) Charlie left the season before, before they started winning titles.

Also, whilst having quite a few injuries/suspensions to key players and giving valuable game time to several youngsters. Quite amazing really.

I think the ref completely lost it yesterday. Giving that foul against Armstrong in the corner was unbelievable. For a few seconds after that it looked like he was about to book the crowd for their reaction - but he let us off with a stern talking to - very unprofessional. Perhaps he should have booked himself for inciting the crowd. Then letting the keeper take the free kick miles away from the incident, deep in injury time, was eerily reminiscent of Goodson Park debacle last season.

Saints want their Danish (right) back cured?

No.

I played at a similar level. I used to try and save them with my feet and didn’t used to dive at all as I couldn’t get down too quick. I’d also be happy to provide the benefit of my experiences to Alex, if he’s interested.

I think summer 2021 would make him our longest serving manage since Chris Nichol - 28 managers ago!

A defender’s worst nightmare

Thanks

Anyone know if you’d be able to watch on iPlayer from overseas?

Who are they? (Drinks milk)

Brilliant - this must be the winner

Someone posted it was 16 years since we beat spurs 4-0 in the 3rd round. Great game - but not even our best match against spurs for me, that was the 3 1 win at WHL 29 (gulp) years ago. Still remember the rain falling off the net as yet another great goal was smashed into the net. Any other favourite memories?
