Stud mark of doom

Pigs' heads all round?

Martin O'Neil has just bought a house nearby, apparently...

I seem to remember this was a matter of considerable debate. We've had enough points for a month. Phew.

Quite impressive to get it muddled up with the 3 1 kit change job for which bubbly Dave was the manager, and not him.

To be fair, it was only 5 1 at full time. I think it was an OG and for some reason the name "Steve sims" comes to mind. Think I spent a bit too much time studying the results when I was a kid!

Nick Holmes versus Watford in the cup (4-0, lost the 2nd leg 7-1). I remember listening on Solent from a hill in the north of France. I think the commentator suggested it was from the half way line?

Me too. A few too many pre match pints and that saints fan on the big screen crying was too much for me.

I remember a Mark Hughes effort - in and out so quick I don't think anyone realised it was a goal until after the game.

Can't see this update has been posted. This mathematical model says our chances of relegation have increases, as you'd expect, but only to 1.3% I suppose this is roughly consistent with the bookies when you add in their healthy profit margin. Made me feel better anyway! http://www.sportsclubstats.com/England/Southampton.html

From memory (of the Saints history book) I think it was around 1948 or 49. The bad run started when our main striker got crocked - away at Spurs if I recall correctly.

Agree it's 2) but 1) top half this season might run it close.

I can't make it. Missed three games so far at home - wigan, spurs and QPR.

Me too - didn't we also score a top quality own goal that day?

This picture always makes my day - can we get it added to the banner at the top, after SRL?

He's back from the dead - very appropriate at this time of year.

To echo the commentator after his over head kick v Liverpool, how about simply "what a magnificent goal"

Very harsh - he always looked like he was giving 100%, unlike 'arry and most of his signings.

From memory, I think it was around number 23

Interesting - Sunderland seem to be the most popular third team to go, which isn't how the bookies see it.

Borus was back as first choice in goal several games before Adkins left.

Are you sure? I think we were all singing a song about the likely outcome from the start.

According to lawrie in "diary of a season" that coat was very good for occasions when "I was likely to be mobbed by the fans. Very easy to wipe the finger marks off" or something like that.
