Bearsy Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 There were at least four or five moments where I was just waiting for the net to bulge! That's what you get for having sh!t strikers dirty leeds! Couldn't be happier if we'd won fair and square!
astrasri Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 They battered us but luck like that wins leagues. From the short bit that I was able to stream I don't think we were lucky, we played our way out of trouble by putting in a full shift where and when it counted. Step up to the rostrum" Super, super Kelv, super Kelvin Davies" Don't put down to luck - he worked his socks off today and kept us the 3 points.
beatlesaint Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 I am so ecstatic I will even let you off inventing words like "clynical" Thanks, I would edit it to correct it but you'll look silly then so I'll leave it :-D
alpine_saint Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 I think that might have been our MK Dons. Beat reading and I think we are there Yes, looking at the table, bar a totally bizarre collapse of form, I think you are right.
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 I can't say I enjoyed that because we were well and truly "battered" by horrible Leeds - but what a ferking fantastic result. Kelvin Davis obviously outstanding and Lambert won it, but lets give a special mention to Chaplow and Spiderman in midfield too - heroic.
Leicestersaint Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Major result for this season. Turning point? Fantastic performance by Kelvin D and special mentions for Jos H and Richard L. I thought we defended far too deep and every minute seemed like an hour but a great result!
Minsk Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 I now believe....... We ARE going to win this league!!! What a strike by Rickie!! What a performance by Kelvin!!!!! I never want to see anyone slag him off ever again!!!!! WE ARE SOUTHAMPTON, THE PRIDE OF THE SOUTH...............
Dalek2003 Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 The handball was blatant. Had the shoe been on the other foot we would have been furious. Well, in that case I hope we leave Elland Road quietly and out the back door. Sounds like we had the luck today.
Katalinic Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Major result for this season. Turning point? I think it could be this seasons "MK Dons" moment - a defining part of the season, the game when players and fans start to believe its going to happen. I do.
SuperSAINT Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 I'm knackered after watching all that. What a f*cking win that was. The kind of performance champions are made of.
saintscottofthenortham Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Well, in that case I hope we leave Elland Road quietly and out the back door. Sounds like we had the luck today. It was too early in the game for the result to be blamed on that. Had the pen been given and Leeds converted then it would have been a totally different game. Still, a bit of luck has been due and we certainly got it tonight.
gingerone Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 From the short bit that I was able to stream I don't think we were lucky, we played our way out of trouble by putting in a full shift where and when it counted. Step up to the rostrum" Super, super Kelv, super Kelvin Davies" Don't put down to luck - he worked his socks off today and kept us the 3 points. Trust me we were lucky. There again you make your own luck I suppose. Don't get me wrong we were superb to keep them out but we could not complain if we lost. Well I feel if we win the next two we will not be caught. It is great to be a saints fan right now.
kpturner Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Thanks, I would edit it to correct it but you'll look silly then so I'll leave it :-DPlus, of course, you cannot edit my post that quotes you
Guan 2.0 Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Saints recreate the battle of Thermopylae! But live, obviously.
do i not like fizzy pop Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Can't wait to go to work Monday at our office in Leeds ;-)
Saint Billy Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 How the hell we won that I will never know. Tbh we were a fecking shambles and I have never seen so many players have an off day in one game apart from one ofcourse..............and I dont care, wha hooo 3 more points, bring it on!
ottery st mary Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Well done you Saints.....Kelvin is a star..thank you number one.. The team and the coaching staff ....brilliant 3 points.. Now pleeeeeease... win the next two home games and pile the pressure on the other teams... Hope Cardiff beat West Ham tomorrow...... WIFM
CWD Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 I feel genuinely privileged to have witnessed that display of Goalkeeping. Mental game, this could be the game we look back on...
captainchris Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Warnock you nasty piece of work.....never ever generous in defeat, which is a sign a real man - you are not one !!! And the blatent hand ball last week from one of your players at Pompey ???????? No not a word.........Grow up Warnock - Karma will always kick you back mate....!!! Our boys gave you one hell of a kicking ....
Foxstone Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 That was the character of champions ! Played mediocre but won the game at a tough place to win games.. Well done lads and especially to Super Kelvin!!
JustMike Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Together as one, that showed today, especially at the end. Coyr
S-Clarke Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Warnock you nasty piece of work.....never ever generous in defeat, which is a sign a real man - you are not one !!! And the blatent hand ball last week from one of your players at Pompey ???????? No not a word.........Grow up Warnock - Karma will always kick you back mate....!!! Our boys gave you one hell of a kicking .... What are your grips with him? What did you expect him to say? Leeds were terrific and they absolutely battered us. Fonte's 'handball' could have been given, and I've seen them given. They gave us the kicking, we didn't get near them all game. We were **** today, and they were terrific - so stop looking for praise, because only Davis and Lambo deserve praise (and he gave them that to be fair)

70's Mike Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Different take on game football is a team game most of the time we sing the praises of the forwards today it was the defenders who performed brilliantly, yes we rode our luck but teams like Leeds do not just roll over ans let us play we will need a similar battling performance in the rest of the away games, 12 games to go all that matters is the final score
Lazlo78 Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Even the players (Lallana, Jaidi, Puncheon etc.) are ecstatic on Twitter - this will boost morale I think! @RadhijaidiOff I'll never forget this game lads... Stick in my mind forever.
saintds Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Played poorly, rode our luck, finished one of the very few opportunities we had, won the game. Form of champions? Despite Leeds relative form, going to Elland Road & taking the points is massive - Lambo was spot on in his interview. Loved the players reaction at the end. Chun leaping around like a kid, everyone bundling KD like we'd won a penalty shoot out. Gotta love the team spirit & so pleasing to see this means as much to the players as the fans. COYMFR!

We didn't deal with Bechio all game and he kind of dictated our centre backs. Kelvin got everyone out of jail.
del boy Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 What are your grips with him? Firm ones I would think, possibly round the throat
S-Clarke Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Firm ones I would think, possibly round the throat .
trousers Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 @joshooiveld20: WOW!! Pressure throughout the whole game but we pulled it through thanks to Kelvin his magnetic hands! Hahaha, great win!
Leslie Charteris Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Oh what a sweet win. Having suffered at the hands of Leeds and their fans over the years, today's result is all the better. Seeing football's greatest anagram sucking lemons on the League Show tonight will be the icing on the cake.
View From The Top Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Saints recreate the battle of Thermopylae! But live, obviously. With Rickie as King Leonidas.
up and away Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Leeds took the midfield from us because Chaplow was again not at his best, Puncheon neither and only Schneiderlin can really hold his head up. But we certainly had a defence today and everyone must be congratulated upon that. Just so glad we started with Chung, but without Lallana we really have to grind out a result. I don't know what is going on at Staplewood, but that's the second time where Adkins has commented on how exceptionally well the training has gone, only to not turn up for the game. We left a lot of effort on that pitch tonight and have to bring in fresh faces for Ipswich. I would not even consider starting Lallana, because if that goes up in our faces I don't believe we will get automatic. As it is we are in a great position and a professional job against Ipswich would be fantastic.
kpturner Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Yep, not a fan of Warnock cos he is a bit of a baby sometimes but today he called it pretty right and had every reason to be peed off.Bet he was just as critical of the ref when he failed to spot a blatant handball by a Leeds player at Poopey last week......or maybe not.
St.Jeweller Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Most hard fought 3 points i've ever witnessed,thank you Kelv! I'm sure we had all 11 in the 6 yard box when they scrambled one wide near the end, Great reaction at FT by the lads all congratulating Kelv on his heroic performance.
70's Mike Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 To be honest, I thought at times our defending was all over the show. We didn't deal with Bechio all game and he kind of dictated our centre backs. Kelvin got everyone out of jail. but as Kelvin said that is his job in the team goal line clearances are as much as part of football as attacking flair i agree with NA it is a team

trousers Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 @jordansibley: Struggling to put into words how great a performance that was. Every single player had the desire to put their body on the line for 3points.
Lazlo78 Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Jack Cork @jackcork1 Wow can't believe the game today. Back 5 were immense! And great goal by Lambo. I've played better myself, but as long as we won I'm happy. Jason Puncheon @jasonpunch Massive 3 points...fans we're brilliant..SKD mom..poor for my own standards..but we won top of the league COYS
aintforever Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Can't remember seeing a better goalkeeping display, that includes Shilton, Flowers, Jones and Neimi. To be fair my memory is sh!t but that was superb. Well done kelvin.
Psycrow Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 That was one of the best goalkeeping performances I've ever seen. After how Kelvin handled himself when we were on the brink of going out of existence, putting West Ham on the long finger and waiting to see if there was a buyer for Saints and a contract for him, then he can stay in goal for as long as he wants as far as I'm concerned. But today was another level. Unbelievable. Other things that struck me today. I thought the 4 midfielders in the second half were brilliant. The intricate passing when most teams would have booted the ball up the pitch to ease the pressure, MS, RC and JC especially were playing box to box until the 93rd minute. They were getting forward, holding up the ball and creating chances on the break even when the strikers weren't. What team spirit, not only during the match with bodies being put on the line, as Adkins put it, but at the end. Every one of them to a man, even the subs ran to Kelvin. They looked like a team who are not only 100% together, but like a team who believed in themselves. Great honesty from RL and NA. We were rubbish, we nicked 3 points thanks to KD. Champions have to do these things we're told all the time. And we certainly did it tonight. I think we got promotion tonight. That performance from KD is going to buoy this team going into the next few games. 2 home games next if I'm not mistaken and if we can win those, making 15 points from 15 I think there's no going back.
markr27 Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 If anyone sky+ the game, I am pretty sure Warnock was "f-ing and blinding" at the final whistle, the camera audio picked it up clearly just after the handshake. Not sure whom he was berating
krissyboy31 Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 To be honest, I thought at times our defending was all over the show. We didn't deal with Bechio all game and he kind of dictated our centre backs. Kelvin got everyone out of jail.Thought Becchio was the best player we've played all season and gave Fonte a torrid time. It was the Alamo at times but some of the blocking was also magnificent.
Thedelldays Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Leeds took the midfield from us because Chaplow was again not at his best, Puncheon neither and only Schneiderlin can really hold his head up.

Chez Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 two poor performances away from home and 6 points. Funny old game. Has the PFA team of the year been voted on yet as Kelvin's performance will live long in the players minds making him a shoe in. Have to say I thought Fonte was terrible. Distribution poor and Becchio (looked great against us twice now) tore him a new one. Puncheon looks miles of the pace and has been worse since he came into the side than he was when fans were booing him. Onwards and upwards. I thought we'd win and I still think we'll get promoted.
Chez Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 If anyone sky+ the game, I am pretty sure Warnock was "f-ing and blinding" at the final whistle, the camera audio picked it up clearly just after the handshake. Not sure whom he was berating Colin said, just after he shook Adkins hand, "I don't know how you ****ing won that...". Can't argue on this occasion, but music to my ears. w a nker.
Mr Saints Posted 3 March, 2012 Posted 3 March, 2012 Kelvin and Lambo cement themselves as 2 of my favourite ever SFC players. What a win.
