One that sticks out was Wayne Thomas vs Ipswich. https://www.southamptonfc.com/en/video/classic-match-thomas-scores-st-marys-stunner

Apparently they’re doing two more series of PB, so one would assume it’s Duke at the helm for that. Really, that is a massive downgrade on Cillian Murphy. Also no Arthur and Ada, and obviously no John and Polly so the whole of the original gang is gone. I’m sure it’s get viewers but I’m not eagerly anticipating that. I thought the series had done enough by getting where it did by the end. If anything I thought it was a series or two heavy. Duke wasn’t good but the plot of the film was ridiculous.

Kevin Phillips 2-0 v Liverpool 2003 Chris Baird v Cardiff 2005 (maybe)

Agree with you 100%.

I think it was one he scored when we drew 1-1....

I remember it well, wasn’t it the equaliser in a 3-3 draw? I recall it being quite similar to the Tugay one you mentioned from the same season. Good shout on that Fernandes free kick too, no finesse just an absolute rocket straight into the top corner. I remember Anders goal against Spurs in the cup quite fondly, that was a hell of a performance that night. Theo against Luton back in the day was a good goal with a cracking lob, same with Che vs City, shame none of us were there to see it.

A great game, and two moments that will always live in my memory as well. Agree about the KK ‘goal’ , easily on a par with any from the MLT archives.

Yep, that was my take on it. It was a nothing storyline, and they could have done so much more with it - Flynn coming back and having another crack at Duke, or whatever. Duke himself was a poor character, and badly cast.

Not mentioned yet but Armstrong v Man Utd. Late winner in 3-2 win following the Keegan goal that never was because Armstrong was offside! That Keegan "goal" would have been up there with the best. For me though it has to be Matty v Arsenal. Pure, unrestrained joy.

I think we have to start a reasonably strong team, but be prepared to sub off our key guys (which are Bree, THB, Stephens, Downes, Azaz and Larin at the moment) regardless of how the match is going. Perhaps something like: Peretz Jelert THB Wood Manning Downes Jander Fellows Azaz Scienza Larin With: THB for Stephens Downes for Bragg Azaz for Charles Larin for Stewart Edozie for Leo

If we want to get back to the Premier League it has to be this season. Reasons: 1. Our parachute payments are lower net year if in the Championship. 2. The obligation to buy Peretz only kicks in if we get promoted. 3. Other key members of the squad such as Scienza and THB wIll be off without promotion. 4. Tonda could be poached meaning we would be back to the SR wheel of fortune game of trying to find a new manager. 5. The financial muscle of Tottenham / West Ham will blow most championship teams out of the water making promotion harder next year. 6. Burnley and Wolves will be tougher propositions in the Championship than Leicester were this year. 7. Solak may not want to cough up another £80 million to keep us running. Come on Saints. We can do it.

For me it's the MLT flicky-uppy run against Newcastle at the Dell. My absolute hero at the time, and a goal that really expressed his unique style. But, so many brilliant ones. Trying to think of one that hasn’t been mentioned. It's not objectively great, but Ostenstad's bullet from a tight angle against Schmeichel always stuck in my mind. Also, MLT first against Liverpool in the snow. Again, iconic for me. Young kid, freezing my arse off, midweek match, which always had a special feeling, after 30 seconds he just smashes it low and hard with curve on the half volley out of nowhere. Magic.

Even with a depleted team Arsenal would beat us easily When was the last time we beat a Top Team in the FA Cup

Lambert at MK Osvaldo v City (The way he turned a player as good as Kompany)

I was optimistic. He had a very good reputation hailed as one of Europes best young coaches. saw a few podcasts, interviews and analysis of him and he came across really well. I was pleased when he joined us. As it turned out he was awful, I still can’t believe he was as bad as he was. Even Nathan Jones and Juric had some mitigation factors. Still no idea what was going on there.

On a purely Saints unpopular opinion: for me yellow shirts, and blue shorts as an away kit has been done to death. I was there in 1976 so know fully the significance of the strip and loved it for a couple of years, but it seems tired now.

Not sure this is popular or unpopular but one of my biggest gripes for some seasons now (probably since Boruc at Arsenal) is that GK’s shouldn’t be pissing around with the ball at their feet. But that doesn’t “align” with the football philosophies.Seeing Gunn dispossessed v Huddersfield underlined it for me, then of course 18months of Martin. Allied to this GK’s wandering upfield is another one that drives me up the wall. Peretz seems keen to do this. Hope it isn’t too costly when the inevitable happens.

No, some people were cautiously optimistic based on a fairly respectable recent record, at a decent level in Europe.

Yep we have a family membership it’s £13 a month but using it just once a month you get your moneys worth, also a good cause like you say.

Alright, calm down. There are plenty of other websites where you can find a bit of that.

The BBC. Over the years it has provided the highest quality comedy shows, dramas, sporting events, current affairs programmes, documentaries , news, children’s programme natural history programmes, outside broadcasts from major historical events, international broadcasting, high quality radio broadcasting covering everything from pop, rock, classical music, drama and current affairs. I know it has its detractors on here, but there really isn’t a broadcasting company like it that has covered so many different areas so well for so long.

I think the opposite. Having lost a final today they will want to make amends in their next game which is against us so will probably now go stronger than if they'd won today.

Thought it a good match to try that option and rest others but Archer didn’t do anything to give confidence that we should repeat it against better opposition.

Sometimes think it’s in their DNA from the Don Howe days of their double winning team early 1970’s

Just watched the Peaky film. Very well shot, great music, but I thought the plot was weak. Also Duke didn’t have the gravitas I’d expect of a leader of the Peakies.
