Yawn. Couldn't you come up with anything better for a dissertation?

Currently in Rome. Very unimpressed by the result it has to be said. Hopefully the colleseum will cheer me up.

Just back. Well ground out win. Fonte was superb. Fair play to Orient who gave it a good go in the second half, but the defence was excellent and Davis made two excellent stops. Noise from the Saints fans was superb. Sunburnt.

Just realised that I appear to have started this thread. Must tell my 14 year old to use his own login.

How about two games, neither of which we won. Saints 2, Liverpool 3 in 1982. Included the best goal I have ever seen Saints score. Two teams going for it, just a pity that Liverpool nicked it late on. Saints 1 Newcastle 1 in 2003. Again, end to end stuff. CMFG nearly won it at the end with a header that just went wide. Cracking game.

Not the best goal or the most convienient win but a game where the football from 0 - 90 has just been brilliant. Your thoughts?

got my tickets in the family stand before the season ticket rule was imposed

Good game

Suewhistle beat me to it. Was just about to post the same suggestion.

How about 'All the Saints'

Aren't we forgetting the rubbish start that we had. Since NA took over we have matched them.

Bloody hell...

Does anyone know what song is playing at 2:50? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWAJ9eukpVs

Cantona chipping Tim Flowers from the corner of the penalty box. Early nineties. United won 3-1. He was class. Sat next to my United supporting brother-in-law. He had the good sense to keep quiet.

I was sat in the second row behind the goal at the Milton End when Evans scored the goal against West Ham. I seem to remember the ball going in off the opposite post as he crashed into the post. Really brave. As he was being congratulated he had no idea where he was as he was so groggy.

The old lady who took a group of us on a stadium tour a couple of weeks after SMS opened said that the the three sides could be expanded, but not the Itchen. It looks fairly obvious just looking at the stadium. She also said that there were enough toilets for 50,000. Not sure that I believe that one.

When St Mary's was built there was discussion with the council about reopening the docks line for passengers. As well as at St Mary's, a station would also be reopened next to the old Terminus station. The idea was that it would be used during the week for commuters working in the offices at Ocean Village, as well as on matchdays. The sticking point was that the cost of electrification of the line, as well as the development costs, made the idea a non-starter. In fact, the old Northam station used to be on the line just behind the Chapel Stand. Long since demolished. The place to put a station was on the main line the other side of Northam bridge, so that regular passenger trains could stop there on match days. Unfortunately some muppet in South West Trains decided that this was a good place to put a carriage workshop, so this is no longer an option. So don't expect a rail link directly to St Mary's any time soon.

no-one can knock how we played. a proud proud team but ultimately we didn't have the legs to finish it off. in a strange way it means we can concentrate on the league but still gutted we didn't win.

If we lowered the pitch to install a few extra seats round the perimeter at SMS, then we would probably go below the water table. It would at least make an olympic size swimming pool.

Having lived in Winchester for over 20 years it is definitely in Saints patch. Get to Basingstoke and you have reached the land of replica shirts. Saw my first game at the Dell 40 years ago this month. All I can remember is Ron Davies scoring the winning goal with a far post header. Happy days.

COYR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's all I have to say on this matter.

Just goes to show that the chairmen (well this one anyway) is in a better position than the fans.

what about brighton?

Jaidi. Made a couple of mistakes in the first half but in the second half he was pretty strong. It will be sad to see him go but he hasn't been at his best for a long time now and retirement must be around the corner.

couldn't we just get prutton back. he always cheers me up.
