Likewise. Cannot begin to explain to those who weren't there what that 4-1 felt like.

http://web.archive.org/web/20040409115740/http://www.saintsforever.com/pics.html There's a picture of the infamous Branfoot "hope you die soon" fanzine cover on there, I believe someone was looking for it on another thread not long go.

I genuinely had a dream last night that we went 2-0 up, let the skates back in to make it 2-2 before we scored the winner in the last 5. Would happily settle for that, although our recent away form worries me.

Which bracket does Santa come under?

Credit to Richardson yet AGAIN for a cracking assist for the second goal. He really has stepped up to the plate this year.

Watching it back on Sky +, that ref really was as bad as I remember! That second penalty shout is nailed on!

They said on Solent that he requires surgery on his injury, that's going to be quite some time out I'd have thought.

I hope to never see him in a Saints shirt ever again. All the people saying he needs games, he'll get better with age blah blah blah bull****! There's a reason he has been here nearly 6 years and still isn't number 1, he simply isn't good enough. The amount of games I've been to where he has been so shaky is beyond a joke now, he has not improved ever since those infamous performances against Lazio and Palace. If we have serious aspirations to be a decent club then GK is one position we HAVE to strengthen.

Likewise, following the announcement of Bruce Springsteen I was expecting massive things for the Friday and Saturday but am very underwhelmed. Hardly the sort of festival acts that get everyone singing along to their anthems, Christ the list of contemporary acts yet to play the IOW is huge. Always kind of had the impression John Giddings books the acts he wants over what the people want. Decided to spend my money getting tickets for Bruce and the E Street band at Hyde Park in July instead.

Yawn.

Bompey, or Arse away.

Who are the 2 guys in Saints tracksuit tops in front of they tunnel, are they security or something? Plenty of 'wotsit' chants there, guessing there's a few Northamites at the game.

3 minutes too late, mods please delete this thread.

Who do we fancy in the draw today then guys?

I absolutely love seeing them lot down the road suffering again I really do. Buying their way to the cup final TWICE with a ridiculously expensive squad they couldn't afford, signing the likes of Jermaine Defoe and Peter Crouch, finishing high in the Prem, reaching the UEFA cup and absolutely laughing at us and taking the **** about our plight beating us 4-1 at St Marys in the process and yet some of fans feel sorry for these inbred bunch of ****wits having to go through this again?! I hope this is truly the end for them and they fail to escape the punishment they got away with last time. Can't see it happening though, I'm sure they'll get away with it all once again.

Bolt out of the blue just like Deano. RIP Speedy, thoughts to his friends and family.

Whilst I'm sure it got melted down I love the idea that maybe somewhere out there somebody has it in their garden as an ornamental piece and uses it to take funny photos such as cooking on the BBQ or mowing the lawn.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band confirmed as headliners. Very excited for this, only got into The Boss' music the past few years and kick myself for not discovering it sooner. Anyone on here seen him live?

I remember from where I was sat that day it looked like Phillips had been tripped as the Wolves defender ran past him, cringed slightly with embarassment when insaw it on MOTD later that evening though. Remember Beatts had been getting stick from the wolves fans with their " if Beattie plays for England so can I" chant up until he scored the pen and ran in front of them with the ol' cupped ear.

That's the one I'm thinking of too, was also live on Sky. Can't recall ever having a goal ruled out against Derby at SMS. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football-wrights-goal-touch-sinks-southampton-1201403.html

Indeed it was,here it is again for comedy value...

Can't remember who it was against but Rasiak missed a pen at SMS against someone and took about 2 goes at scoring the rebound, finally succeeding from all of 1 yard. Beatts missed in a preseason friendly once, not sure against whom but it was away, possibly in one of our Scandinavian tours.

I was already jumping in the air once it had passed Harper, gutted it went wide.

Could see from the Northam it was outside the box but thankfully for us the ref though otherwise. Fair cop IMO, as others have said the 2 pens we got made up for the blatant ones we didn't.

NA: "How dya like them apples you chimp faced c*nt?"
