Something that annoyed me, Peter Beardsleys runs always used to be described by commentators are jinking runs.

Keith Houchin for Coventry in the 1987 FA Cup final was peak diving header time.

I think he was out for two years and yes, never looked like getting close to the level he was at. It was pretty innocuous injury too an awkward landing away at Man City I think it was. He was improving every week at that time too after a pretty slow start, had just got into the England squad, quick, good all round player, bit of strength and a very good finisher. Like you say always seemed a decent down to earth lad.

Yes that’s the one, amazing ball from Lambert, he was on the left wing, cut inside and curled it top corner in front of the away end, must have had 5-6,000 in there as the neutral bit was 70% Saints as well 3 min 20 in

How are skates so high? They are shite! it is a great league I don’t really get why they changed the play off format but I guess it keeps a lot more teams in the mix. Top without the -4 after only 14 games is good going.

Announced his retirement. Such a shame his injury impacted his career when he was just starting to blossom. After a slow start really kicked on his second season and looked like he was going to progress into and England regular. Spurs were interested and we tired to get a deal done with Harry Kane coming other way Favourite moment his goal when we beer Fulham 3-0 at craven cottage.

@St Louis gone very quiet since getting elected onto the board. A typical example of someone who promises a lot yet when they get the gig deliver nothing. ☹️

What about that lad from Cardiff, Salech is it? Absolutely prolific in the championship him

So people can now stop bleating on that our away form will cost us automatic promotion.

Mine was 3 too. We beat Burnley 3-1 in not sure he really knew what was going on. We don’t get to SMS much but did a few away games over the last few years, he didn’t see Saints win live for 7 years which ended at Sheffield Wednesday last season but still wants to go although on a few occasions he has asked me why we have to support such a rubbish team in fact he even changed the lyrics of a Courtneers song when he was about 8 and started singing randomly “the rubbish team, the rubbish team always always lets me down”

We are light years behind them

Ah rounding the goalkeeper, that’s a dying art, strikers used to do it loads in the 80s and 90s don’t see it much these days

The misses were completely different one went wide of the post with Baz at full stretch last night he more or less hit it straight at the keeper. Perhaps he got his research mixed up as he’d been more likely to score reversing the finishes.

I get the need to improve but we aren’t going to go out and spend another £8-10m on a striker when we’ve already got Larin and spent that on Dobbin. So if we get a striker in it’s going to be a loan who will want game time. Same goes for the wingers, we’ve got 2 decent ones, Fellows is better than hes give credit for the weak link is Edozie. As for everywhere else we’re pretty strong apart from potentially an improvement on Stephens but with Wood and Abbot in the squad unless it’s someone very good at good value I don’t see us bringing someone in there either. As for selling then as you say theyve got to want to leave as well. With a promotion possible and the money that’ll go with it why would you leave unless its to go straight to the premier league and the ones we want to go won’t be going there

Good luck getting someone the level of Scienza and Matsuki to come here to play on the wing. Same goes for a striker, who we going to get to come here to share the position with Larin & Dobbin? Its going to be someone on loan from a premier league club *checks notes* we've got one of those already. Im not sure what sort of level of player people think a championship team will attract. We've got one of the top 3 starting 11s, even our 3rd choice keeper would be one of the best 3-4 in the league. 3 of out 4 CMs would get into every other top 6 team, Fellows, Dobbin, Bragg, Wood, Wellington and Abbot are all decent championship players. We got a decent result last night without 3 key players, thats the level of depth we've got already.
