Two games in particular:

 

1.) Saints 2-2 Middlesboro 04/05 Season. Absolutely murdered them, but then they murdered us in the 93rd minute

 

2.) Saints 3-4 Leeds 05/06 Season. Remember the conversation with my old man at half time very well:

 

Dad: I can't remember the last time we were 3-0 up at half time

Me: I can.......

Saints 0 - Wimbledon 0 , late 80s, early 90s.

 

Took an ex-bird, she was ******* lovely as well.

Wasn't impressed by my choice of date venue. The fact it was 0-0 was the final nail in the coffin of that relationship.

 

Wish I'd been ****ed then.

Good point. Was well p155ed off that they had no beer!! Was far too sober watching those pens!

 

funny thing was there was plenty of beer in the home sections. Just us lot who were told it had 'run out'. I wasn't drinking anyway as i was driving.

Losing to Everton 6-1 away sometime in the mid-1980s. Oh hang on, I was drunk that day.

 

Still fondly remember the chant of "you only sing where your five up" when we rallied to 5:1. Got a wry chuckle from Barry Davis on MotD if I recall.

 

With the legend that is Keith Granger in goal.

Preston North End on a drizzly tuesday night, losing 5-1, and they scored our goal for us. I wanted to murder george burley! Thinking back I was pretty smashed so maybe I needed to be MORE smashed...and not then spend the night with a load of gloating preston fans 300 miles from home.

 

I'm not bitter.

At home to the Skates, 2nd January 1987 (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong about the date ;)). They spent that one season in the top flight and were a truly woeful side. In that particular match, you could easily see just how bad they were. The only problem was that in that particular match we were even worse. And the worst of it is that I watched the whole sad spectacle stone cold sober...

Tottenham at home in the FA Cup. Saints 2 - 6 Tottenham. Grobelaar lets Rosenthal score a hatrick (2 inside his near post), we are winning 2-1 - goes to extra time & we lose 4 more goals! Then I had to drive home 180 miles having Dean Austins words on the radio ringing in my ears "How many? - How many?"

I was backpacking in SE Asia and somewhere in Thailand at the time of that game. I didn't find out the result for a few days after, when I managed to get hold of a copy of the local English Language paper. Till this very day I'm convinced that the score was a misprint. I refuse to believe we actually lost to that sh!te.

Watford away when they put 7 past us in the Milk Cup (?) after we won the 1st leg 4-0 and they were in the league below us! Funnily enough wasn't there a rumour afterwards of a big bust up amongst the players concerning one Kevin Keegan? May have my years mixed up though.
