Master Bates Posted 13 May, 2009 Share Posted 13 May, 2009 I was at my friends birthday barbeque, sun was shining and I was listening to the following: Premier League Southampton 2 Brown (og) 9, Pahars 14 Manchester United 1 Giggs 70 Martin Thorpe at the Dell Monday 14 May 2001 23.29 BST Manchester United lost their second game running yesterday, which in any other circumstances would be a crisis but at present is not even a cause for concern. The first, a wonderful diving header into his own net by Wes Brown on 11 minutes, may have slightly alarmed the watching England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson. For the second , Marian Pahars beat the offside trap to Hassan Kachloul's ball over the top and shot past Goram. Soon afterwards Southampton started playing as badly as United had, and eventually Giggs scored after a lovely one-two with Yorke. Man of the match: Dean Richards (Southampton). http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2001/may/14/match.sport1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to show any player who says he needs to leave to play for england will have their career cut short. Any one remember Richard Hall? To any players listening. It's the saints curse. You have been warned. (lets see how many of the players want to leave now heh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Neil Posted 13 May, 2009 Share Posted 13 May, 2009 ...... To any players listening. It's the saints curse. You have been warned. (lets see how many of the players want to leave now heh) Curious! For many years (and I'm thinking right back to Phil Boyer now) many players have left Southampton for bugger and better things. I often thought how unreal it was that those players who left because they wanted to rather than were let go were hurt or drifted into obscurity. Here are a few that I can think of, I know there are more: Phil Boyer - broke a leg not long after leaving Saints for Man City and I don't think he really played again. Steve Williams - not a raging success at Arsenal Mick Channon - Didn't achieve much at Man City and made a welcome return to the South Coast. Alan Shearer - nasty leg injuries (although eventually recovered) Dean Richards - as has already been mentioned Hassan Kachloul - A success at Villa - don't think so. Richard Hall - again a meteoric rise to his career - NOT. Yep, we have often joked about "the Southampton Curse" at home, just didn't think that anyone else had made the same connection. Oh yeah, what about Lawrie - good move going to Sunderland! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, what about Lawrie - good move going to Sunderland! James Beattie - am I correct in thinking he only played for England while at Saints? His big move to Everton was a dismal failure. Kevin Davies (first time around) - Went to Blackburn and did... what precisely? Chris Baird - Maybe a bit harsh, but he's only made 20 starts in the League in two seasons.

A bit harsh on Boyer who didnt leave to better himself. He was sold as we already had Keegan, Channon and George. But more relevently Steve Moran was just getting a regular game. Also Boyer wanted to rejoin John Bond who he had played for at Bournemouth and Norwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should NEEEVEER of signed, still his goal against Arsenal was priceless, for the result and hilarity. Plus, as far as we are talking expensive players, Rory Delap ? good but hardly worth our top transfer fee was he ?? Someone said about Beatie too ? I felt at the time Everton was the wrong move, he is better playing off of someone and recieving crosses, Everton don't tend to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
