kwsaint Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 Not the best goal or the most convienient win but a game where the football from 0 - 90 has just been brilliant. Your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulwantsapint Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 will say 6-3 over manure even if it wasnt really ( mid 2nd half was ok unlike the other 70 mins of action ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

influx Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 For me personally defineltly the 6-3 over Man U, but I think this one was actually a better game performance wise. Saints 4 Spurs 0 FA cup 2003 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 God there has been a few..... Sheff United, Spurs, Liverpool and Man Utd games already mentioned being the obvious ones Less famous games, a 1-1 draw at home to Newcastle at SMS 2003 i think, brilliant end to end game which could have gone either way, both goalkeepers making brilliant saves and A Newcastle defender heading against his own cross bar from about 18 yards in injury time 4-2 v Swindon, league cup c1990, 0-2 down at half time, came back to 2-2 then won it in extra time 3-2 v Bolton FA cup 91?? Most exciting last 2 minutes ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aintforever Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 I would go for the Liverpool 4-1 as well, Nicholl's 4-2-4 system with Le Tiss, Wallace, Rideout and Shearer was awesome and Liverpool were footballing gods at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miffy Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 1-1 draw at home to Newcastle at SMS 2003 i think, brilliant end to end game which could have gone either way, both goalkeepers making brilliant saves and A Newcastle defender heading against his own cross bar from about 18 yards in injury time I agree, a fantastic but largely forgotten game, definately one of the best I have seen. 4-1 v Liverpool 6-3 v Man U and the first 45 minutes aginst Man U when we won 3-1 (and they changed shirts at half time ) 3-1 v Spurs in FA Cup at White Hart Lane mid 80s could have been 8-1. 4-3 v Norwich in 2006 (I think) was exciting.

beatlesaint Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 The 4-1 v Liverpool as mentioned several times above The 4-0 v Spurs in Cup again as above The 6-3 v Man Utd as above plus for me Saints 4 - 1 V Notts Forest in 1979 - Phil Boyer scored two, we were fantastic that day.

Colinjb Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 The best game i've ever had the fortune to be at has to be Saints 4-3 Norwich. It's a shame it was essentially futile, but at the end, once Camara had scored the winner it was utterly amazing. The first half was just total adrenaline...... but that nervous second half, my god.

Dellman Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 I go with the FA Cup replay at White Hart Lane when we smashed first division Notts Forest 5-0, after two drawn matches 1-1 at Forest and 3-3 at the Dell. In the third game the Spurs officials had closed one stand thinking there wouldn't be a huge crowd but there was and by the time they opened it we were 3-0 up and loads of our fans had missed it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwsaint Posted 31 March, 2011 Author Share Posted 31 March, 2011 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowllyd Posted 31 March, 2011 Share Posted 31 March, 2011 2-0 v Liverpool at The Dell March 1984 Friday night and the atmosphere was like nothing i've experienced since. They were top, we were second (i think) and wallace scored two great goals. Excellent match indeed. The previous season's game against Liverpool, which we won 3-2, was an even better match in my view. All the goals came in the first half; we took the lead, they equalised and went ahead, we equalised and got the winner - a superb strike from Nick Holmes. The second half was a brilliant 45 minutes of football in spite of there being no goals. The FA Cup replay against Wednesday in 1984 was great, though in a different way. They played horrible out-and-out hoofball (offside trap just inside their own half, free kick, send all three centre-backs up, keeper launches it in their general direction - that was their sole tactic) - and yet they took the lead and almost got a second. Once we calmed down and imposed our play we took them apart. A great example of class telling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
