kwsaint Posted 31 March, 2011 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?
paulwantsapint Posted 31 March, 2011 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 )
The Majestic Channon Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 1989- Saints 4 liverpool 1 The best saints performance i've ever seen v a top of the league liverpool. The week before ( or after) we won away to Q.P.R. by the same scoreline and murdered them for 90 minutes .
influx Posted 31 March, 2011 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
Stepgar Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Saints v Spurs at St Marys FA Cup rd Round. Forget the year - but we were immense for the entire 90 - 4-0 winners if memory is correct
Barry the Badger Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 The win over Sheffield United to stay up under Pearson will live with me forever.
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Manure 6-3. Failing that, Wolves away 6-0.
John B Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 40000 Saints Fans at White Hart Lane 1963 v Nottm Forest second replay thrashed them 5 0 Bloody Marvellous
Only1Northam Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Sheff Utd, last game of the season and 2006 4-3 @ home to Birmingham
View From The Top Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 1989- Saints 4 liverpool 1 This and the 6-3.
sandwichsaint Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Derby away for me, the 'best' Saints atmosphere I've ever been in (possibly bar the millennium final) and a blinding game of football with it.
Phil 71 Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Saints 4-1 Liverpool 1989 Matt Le Tiss and Rod Wallace running riot down the wings,brilliant atmosphere,under the east stand it was rocking!
yamms_schmitz Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Dellhurst park. The great escape. The noise was the louded i have heard.
Turkish Posted 31 March, 2011 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
aintforever Posted 31 March, 2011 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.
Saint Billy Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 1989- Saints 4 liverpool 1 The best saints performance i've ever seen v a top of the league liverpool. The week before ( or after) we won away to Q.P.R. by the same scoreline and murdered them for 90 minutes . yep, agree with that!
Miffy Posted 31 March, 2011 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.
dune Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Away at Coventry when we won our first game of the season was special as we never win our first game. I think it was Ostenstad that scored and we won 1-0.
doddisalegend Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Saints v Spurs at St Marys FA Cup rd Round. Forget the year - but we were immense for the entire 90 - 4-0 winners if memory is correct yep that one ^^^ with the added bonus we stuck it to Hoddle and his spirtual home....

John B Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 1960 1st div Man City 1 3rd div Saints 5, 1963 1st div Notts Forest 3 2nd div Saints 3 (0-3 with 13 mins left) 2nd replay at White Hart Lane, Saints 5 NF 0. I dont think your second match meets the OP's criteria because the atmosphere was pretty dire for most of the game but it was without doubt the most exciting game I ever saw at the Dell and the only time I ever watched a game under the East Stand
beatlesaint Posted 31 March, 2011 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. Saints 5 - 5 V Coventry in 1982 Saints 8 - 2 V Coventry in 1984 I think it was.
Alanh Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 For the football played Saints v Sunderland in the play off season. We lost 1-0 but the performances of both teams that day was excellent.
Colinjb Posted 31 March, 2011 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.
Dark Munster Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Norwich 4 - 5 Saints The Saints are staying up. I didn't see it, but that surely must be amongst the greatest Saints games. We were virtually dead and buried before that match.
Dellman Posted 31 March, 2011 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
skinner Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 40000 Saints Fans at White Hart Lane 1963 v Nottm Forest second replay thrashed them 5 0 Bloody Marvellous My first away game. Happy Days
Supersubpuckett Posted 31 March, 2011 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.
jawillwill Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Saints 1 - 0 Ipswich A couple of years ago in the Championship. Remember Saints scoring in the 1st minute. Incredible game.
The9 Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Saints 4-3 Norwich in 2004/5 (spit) for me as well, just for the atmosphere and the hope.
Thedelldays Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Saints 1 - 0 Ipswich A couple of years ago in the Championship. Remember Saints scoring in the 1st minute. Incredible game. lol saganowski scored...it was one of those "i was there" games..
dune Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 I didn't see it, but that surely must be amongst the greatest Saints games. We were virtually dead and buried before that match. I went and bought the video.
Didcot Saint Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 1989- Saints 4 liverpool 1 The best saints performance i've ever seen v a top of the league liverpool. The week before ( or after) we won away to Q.P.R. by the same scoreline and murdered them for 90 minutes . I was at both. The best Saints back to back games I've ever seen. I will never forget the atmosphere at Loftus Road either.
teamsaint Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 at the time the 2-1 win over leeds at home in 1973(?) seemes quite amazing to me. Never enjoyed a game more than the 3-2 win over liverpool in 1979.
del boy Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 New Years day 2002, away at Chelsea, Chelsea 2 Saints 4 Southampton: Jones, Dodd, Lundekvam, Williams, Bridge, Telfer, Delap, Svensson, Marsden, Pahars (Ormerod 82), Beattie. Beattie 2, Pahars and CMFL ...or Norwich 4 Saints 5
kwsaint Posted 31 March, 2011 Author 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.
kwsaint Posted 31 March, 2011 Author Posted 31 March, 2011 Just realised that I appear to have started this thread. Must tell my 14 year old to use his own login.
saintscottofthenortham Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 4-0 v Spurs for me. Although the 4-3 v Canaries runs very close.
saintscottofthenortham Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Just realised that I appear to have started this thread. Must tell my 14 year old to use his own login. You ought to be having a word. 14 years old and he is going on Saints Web when he has the computer to himself...? Give him a clip round the ear and tell him to get his act together. He either makes the most of such opportunities by visiting TubeGalore or he can keep his hands off the computer.
Dark Munster Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 I went and bought the video. That's certainly a keeper - didn't realise they'd brought out a video. Any chance of uploading the highlights onto youtube?
Fowllyd Posted 31 March, 2011 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.
Jonnyboy Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 I went and bought the video. you should upload that to youtube! edit - i wonder if thats a relative of tony gubba?
Saint_clark Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Saints 1 - 0 Ipswich A couple of years ago in the Championship. Remember Saints scoring in the 1st minute. Incredible game. Pretty sure he scored in the 8th, but I get your point
stknowle Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 Sheff Utd, last game of the season and 2006 4-3 @ home to Birmingham That 4-3 against Birmingham was an incredible match. I can't believe no-one else has mentioned it (on this or various previous threads about the best matches ever).
Saint_clark Posted 31 March, 2011 Posted 31 March, 2011 That 4-3 against Birmingham was an incredible match. I can't believe no-one else has mentioned it (on this or various previous threads about the best matches ever). Because in the grand scheme of everyones Saints watching history, it wasn't that special.
