Our attack is running out of ifdeas

I was 9 and remember it vividly. Cemented my nascent support for Saints, inherited from dad. Only bad thing was I was round a friend's house watching it and they were all Man U. How i gloated though. In those days the Cup Final was utterly MASSIVE, far, far, far more than today, and the TV build-up on matchday reflected that, starting several hours beforehand, non-stop till kick off.

Listen to the fans rendition of Saints Go Marching In as the teams are presented to the dignitaries before kick off. That is how it shoud be sung.

When did they stop calling themselves Orient (cool) and start calling themselves Leyton Orient (uncool)?

I was at that game - and in the Leeds enclosure, FFS. Why in with the Leeds is another story, sex related. That and Ali Dia - surreal.

His incredible performace in the evening League Cup match at the Dell, V Man City in '78 when we won 2-1 deserved a stand naming after him alone.

and have an Ali Dia Commemorative Urinal.

My daughter's been coming with us since she was 4, now 7. Including away at C Palace last game of the season a couple of years back, which was a boisterous atmosphere. Indoctrinate them early I say.

Don't know but it was a scrappy goal line tap in I can see it now, and I can aslo still hear the sound of Saints roaring Yeeess, swiflty followed by "Chelsea aggro..Chelsea aggro...Hello!" and fists and feet hitting their targets!

I was at the Millwall home game in 1977. I was 10 so with dad, stood in the Archers watching the Milton Road quoir and lads separated by a single thin line of policemen from the Millwall hordes. Very soon punches were flying over and between the coppers' heads between the opposing sides. Far more interesting than the game, which was a dull 2-0 I think. Also up at Stamford Bridge same season v Chelsea, we went ahead but lost 3-1 in the end. After we scored the opener the Headhunters who'd infiltrated the Saints end waded in...dad hoisted me up on his shoulders and ran to the pitch side...

short - arsed quitter tosser ****. no way. I'd love to punch Keane

Why do they buy seasons then and not just the 4 big game tickets...must have more money than sense!

On Bournemouth beach by the sound of it!

Leeds? We went on to lose 3-4.

It is a waste of cyberspace. In mitigation, I guess they haven't got the resources to update it and make it really interesting since relegation.

Roy Keane Ronaldo total ****s. Brian Clough - for dissing and patronising Mick Channon when both were pundits for BBC in world cup ?78 or 82.

Yep - I am just waking form my slumber now and pulling on my slippers, bit of a struggle to get up out of a comfy archair now at my age, but should make it.

you mean you stopped?!?!?

You can sense the atmosphere in the squad is absolutely excellent.

PJ's Babes! PJ's Babes!

I can't believe anyone could seriously like music after goals, it is just embarrasing and cringeworthy. One third seem to though. The roar of the crowd is music to my ears, it's what football is all about, not piped muzak. Stick to the lifts in the local Forte Hotel if that's your thing!
