dubai_phil Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Nightmare trip over delayed flight screaming kids, horrid traffic diversions screwing up my evening with Daughter. But knew then that I had had my bad day for the weekend and nothing would stop it being massive. Thanks Shroppie. Great spot up in Itchen North SO LOUD. From the off we were Cool. Calm, Comnfidenmt and in Control and it just got better and better. Great day, great afters in Kingsland Tavern then back in Salisbury. Now sipping a glass of bubbles to celebrate at a cold wet & windy Heathrow. We are Premier League. The Journey Continues And loads of pics/vids to download!

Saints foreva Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 What a fantastic season this has been, 48 points above Pompey and promotion to the Premier League, it still hasn't sunk in! The atmosphere Yesterday was fantastic, it's great when St. Mary's is full of positivity and it really does help out on the pitch.
The Cat Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Awesome. Just awesome. What a team, what a manager, what a club. These past 3 seasons have just been incredible and will never be forgotten.
obelisk Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 That was a great day yesterday. Atmosphere in the stadium was awesome. Was straight off to the pub once I got home to Reading and am now ready to start on the champagne that wife considerately put on ice. Have watched a recording of the game and must admit that it almost brought a happy tear to my eye to see the all the joy at the end. Now it's time to enjoy a summer full of sport with the anticipation of seeing Saints once again making life uncomfortable for the 'elite'.

SNSUN Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Mornin' lads. Is it Saturday yet? Oh! OH!! OH YEAH!!!!!
tttdcs Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Just watched the football league show on iplayer , just love the post match stuff, so moving. Heart aches for Billy Anybody who has not seen this should have a look, absolutely superb !!
Legod Third Coming Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Could watch this forever... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17880384
Bald Headed Jesus Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Quite amused that the promotion thread only stretches to 6 pages when topics such as Rudi Skacel hit 20 or 30 at least! Anyway, great day, best atmosphere I think I have witnessed at St Mary's. Magnificent all round.
Legod Third Coming Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Red and white shots tonight for the lads! FFS, these are supposed to be professional sportsmen??!!
Sour Mash Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Red and white shots tonight for the lads! They look like they're having a great laugh?
markyboy Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 A big well done to all those that have travelled the country this season watching the lads move upwards to the Premier League. Had a splitting headache this morning. Work will be fun tomorrow with the West spam fans.
SNSUN Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 Anybody who has not seen this should have a look, absolutely superb !! I like Clem, but I don't think he should have brought up Sharps' difficult year. Billy is obviously going to be full of emotion about it, it didn't need mentioning. Aside from that, it was a great watch.
stu0x Posted 29 April, 2012 Posted 29 April, 2012 I like Clem, but I don't think he should have brought up Sharps' difficult year. Billy is obviously going to be full of emotion about it, it didn't need mentioning. Aside from that, it was a great watch. You could tell he realised it was a mistake straight away, which is why he told Billy to go be with the rest of the team. To be fair it must be tough, he's got to interview people who have no interest in talking to him at that point.
mitch01 Posted 30 April, 2012 Posted 30 April, 2012 Here's a little write-up - if your anything like me you can't get enough of reading about yesterday so enjoy! http://notplayedonpaper.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/lambert-adkins-and-lallana-make-history.html
paris Posted 30 April, 2012 Posted 30 April, 2012 YYYYYeeeeeessssss!!! It brought tears to my eyes , a mixture of reilief & hapiness ..............
Shroppie Posted 30 April, 2012 Posted 30 April, 2012 Thanks Shroppie. Great spot up in Itchen North SO LOUD. Glad you enjoyed it, but sorry you got lost. The seat should have been in Kingsland North Cracked open the whisky last night as a hair of the dog. Many thanks!
Bucks Saint Posted 30 April, 2012 Posted 30 April, 2012 FFS, these are supposed to be professional sportsmen??!! Yep should be reacting much quicker !
Bucks Saint Posted 30 April, 2012 Posted 30 April, 2012 Quite amused that the promotion thread only stretches to 6 pages when topics such as Rudi Skacel hit 20 or 30 at least! Er, hangover hell x 000's
eurosaint Posted 30 April, 2012 Posted 30 April, 2012 I don't recognise the two on the left ?? Who are they ??
Marino Posted 30 April, 2012 Posted 30 April, 2012 What a fabulous day and season. The highs outweighing the lows for the 2nd year running - the bus keeps motoring. Nice to see the 12,000 fans, who couldnt be bothered to support the team after relegation, come back for the glory.
DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 30 April, 2012 Posted 30 April, 2012 What a day what a season !!! Was away in Portugal for the week, and on saturday we were waiting for our flight home at 7.30 ( booted out of our villa at 10). All the pubs had the Westham game on, so got goal updates from the father inlaw (not the best way) But all good in the end, as we were able to get one of the bars to change all of his 8 tv`s to bbc just in time to see us score our 4th, and to watch the amazing scene`s at the end. Gutted we could`nt be there, but judging by how nerves I was that day prob best I was`nt lol
Big Ron fan Posted 30 April, 2012 Posted 30 April, 2012 I watched finally watched 'The Championship' late last night. Who was the really fat bloke on the right during the celebrations in the dressing room? He looked like a fan who'd gatecrashed things!

torsaint Posted 30 April, 2012 Posted 30 April, 2012 Only downside is that we have to put up with inanities from Hansen and his lovely partner Lorra.

dubai_phil Posted 30 April, 2012 Posted 30 April, 2012 Glad you enjoyed it, but sorry you got lost. The seat should have been in Kingsland North Cracked open the whisky last night as a hair of the dog. Many thanks! Oh yeah it was. Just realized that from the pics I've finally downloaded... (Link on pic fred) Oh dear. seems the Big Picture is ingrained on the memory but the finer points are, for some STRANGE reason, very Hazy. I must admit to picking up a bottle of Old Pulteney pn the way home to celebrate with while I watch the game again and again over the summer months
Saints foreva Posted 30 April, 2012 Posted 30 April, 2012 Great coverage from ITV Meridian on our promotion.... not.
S-Clarke Posted 30 April, 2012 Posted 30 April, 2012 Great coverage from ITV Meridian on our promotion.... not. What did you expect? South today will be a bit better, but expect them to focus on Reading.
Viking Warrior Posted 30 April, 2012 Posted 30 April, 2012 Just open the bottle of champagne that's been on ice now I am home and my liver has recovered
BadgerBadger Posted 30 April, 2012 Posted 30 April, 2012 Glad we can't get promoted again next season. Can't keep up this level of drinking!!! lol - but you know we'll find something else to continue the excuse of a few before during and after *hic*
pressingon Posted 30 April, 2012 Posted 30 April, 2012 Les the kit man, HTH. Saints fit - hope for us all!
djk2g09 Posted 30 April, 2012 Posted 30 April, 2012 we will need a rephrase on Lambert's song... its gonna have to be "he took us to the premier league" or "he'll take us to the champions league". Personally I like the latter, love an ironic song.
dubai_phil Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 Just open the bottle of champagne that's been on ice now I am home and my liver has recovered Treated myself to a bottle of Old Pulteney 21 Year Old at LHR Duty Free. Just decided that now it has sunk in, tonight was the moment.............. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
WestMidSaint Posted 30 April, 2023 Posted 30 April, 2023 That’s a sad read. I remember being so happy and proud. You can feel it when you read back. All that hard work then and over the following 4-5 years has been completely trashed. I honestly can’t get across how angry I am. 1

All that hard work then and over the following 4-5 years has been completely trashed. I honestly can’t get across how angry I am. 11 years in the Premier League is actually a good achievement. How many other clubs have done it? Let's rebuild, do it again and have another glory day like this one. Reminder of the only teams to be on a longer stint in the Premier League than us: Arsenal Man City Man Utd Tottenham Liverpool Chelsea Everton (going down with us?)
LGTL Posted 30 April, 2023 Posted 30 April, 2023 Most teams could only dream of 11 years in the top division, and 27 years before that. The problem we have now is that it’s more likely we do a Coventry/Blackburn and stay down here for years, especially if we don’t bounce straight back. 1
obelisk Posted 30 April, 2023 Posted 30 April, 2023 Promoted in second place just behind Reading who could now well be dropping down to the 3rd tier.
Charlie Wayman Posted 30 April, 2023 Posted 30 April, 2023 As we have observed many times the only constant at a football club is the fans. We are the same people now and then more or less. Everything else from 2012 has been swept away by the winds of change. Our turn will come again.
Saint Billy Posted 30 April, 2023 Posted 30 April, 2023 Christ, emotional read and a lot of water under the bridge since then, saints and personally.
S-Clarke Posted 30 April, 2023 Posted 30 April, 2023 (edited) So much hard work to get us there, the battle with Huddersifled in league 1 every week (we won, they won, it was relentless). Then the mental toughness to stay top 2 in the Champ all season, and that Leeds away game....they were just not being beaten. Just imagine how Fonte, Lambo, Lallana,. Morgan, Hammond, Jos feel now watching these clowns toss away all that hard work and effort. Not even valiantly toss away either, just give up. That Promotion team united everyone, a real affinity with the City. This current lot will be forever despised as our worst ever team. Edited 30 April, 2023 by S-Clarke

I know it’s banded about often, and usually it’s hyperbole, but the current bunch of pathetic wankers are a disgrace to the shirt.
