whizzpop Posted 28 April, 2012 Share Posted 28 April, 2012 I would like to know what the stand out moments are from other fans during our seven year league tour... For me, 05-06 The Sir Clive and Clifford disaster, Rise of Walcott, Redknapp leaves, George Burley arrives and signs a good crop of players to herald a new era (Rasiak, Chaplow, Ostlund, and Jermaine Wright) 06-07 Lowe is ousted out by the magnificent 7, £7m spent on players, Kelvin's dodgy start, Skacel signs!, Jesus is our right back, Rise of Kenwyne, Bale's free kicks. Saganowski leads us to the play offs, Wolves away 0-6, and play off disappoint v Derby. 07-08 Paul Allen (did he or didn't he bid), Start of another new era as Safri, Andrew Davies, Euell and Stern John come in. Kenwyne strikes and Bale moves on, The cult of Stern John, Burley leaves for Scotland, Dodd and Gorman - and that game at Bristol Rovers, Nigel Pearson arrives bringing in Richard Wright, Perry, Lucketti to keep us alive. Handbag skate gate (Wrightphillips/Dyer), that Ted Bates statue, Staying up at home v Sheff Utd, Le Tiss reaction on Sky Sports News. 08-09 Lowe returns, Enter the Dutch "masterclass" (bring in Holmes, Forecast, Pulis and Wotton), Michael Svensson returns, The youth are played, demonstrations in Southampton City Centre, Administration and relegation 09-10 Surman and McGoldrick sold to pay wages, Liebherr, Cortese and Pardew revolution, Pardew lays the foundation with Lambert, Hammond, Harding, Jaidi and Connolly signing, Waigo's dancing and JPT Final, Marcus takes his camera. 10-11 Liebherr dies, Pardew sacked, Adkins in, Chaplow returns, Puncheon rebels, promotion to Championship 11-12 Unbelievable season where Saints lead for most of the season, and ultimately gain promotion In the words of Fatboy Slim we've come a long way baby.

BlakeySFC Posted 28 April, 2012 Share Posted 28 April, 2012 The Play-offs in the 06/07 for me are the standout memory. How we came so close to the Play-off final, and perhaps the premier league that season. The Mediocrity of the 05/06 season, 07/08 season. The awful 08/09 season. The promising 09/10 season The amazing 10/11 season The Incredible 11/12 season WE ARE PREMIER LEAGUE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saints Fan Dan Posted 28 April, 2012 Share Posted 28 April, 2012 Wow seeing all that written down makes you realise how much has happened over the last 7 years. Supporting the Saints is never easy but it's far from dull! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Jeweller Posted 28 April, 2012 Share Posted 28 April, 2012 Jose Fonte baby scoring at the withdean 2010/11,topped off with a great run and a goal today to put behind him the last couple of dodgy display. Both performances being just over a year apart from one another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suhari Posted 28 April, 2012 Share Posted 28 April, 2012 Relaxing now; feel good; cold beer. We're Premier league. Eyes are still moist though. Being on holiday during the WGS era and expecting a positive result to come up on my text updates. Amazed we won more than we didn't Watching the Watford semi final in a bar in Kuala Lumpur;got ****ed with a bunch of random Malaysian guys Listening to us get relegated whilst treating my mum to afternoon tea and champagne cocktails in London Watching Derby play-off game in a hotel in Phuket; about 4am the power went off and my mate texted me the rest of the action. I may have cried. Listening to the Sheff Utd 3-2 Pearson win in an internet cafe in Bangkok; bruised as **** after a few weeks living at a Muay Thai gym Watching a pre-season friendly against Winchester when the dutch duo came in and thinking we'd be okay Don't remember the drop to L1 - think I blocked it from my memory Doing **** all work throughout the administration Summer - just scanning the internet...Paul Allen's boat....some photocopier salesman, MLT treated like a cock and The Legend Sir Markus Watching the Poopey FA Cup defeat in the Exchange Winchester whilst my wife was being rushed into hospital on the other side of the world Total disbelief at Pardew coming in...then Lambert....Hammond......Fonte. We were the Man City of L1 Total shock at Pardew going......why do you do this to me Saints? Nigel who? And my Scunny supporting mate telling me we'd be in the Prem soon. 'Trust Adkins you lucky bastards - he's a genius' Champagne football and that run of games that kept Huddersfield at bay We've got no pace, we've got no width, the bubble's gonna burst Positivity, togetherness, not too up....not too down. Blue lines Attacking play that makes my head spin Confidence in my team. Pride that makes my eyes water. Being back, doing it the right way: doing it for Markus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corsacar saint Posted 28 April, 2012 Share Posted 28 April, 2012 The last 3 years have been fantastic,the previous 4 under Lowe were the worst 4 years in 49 years of supporting the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint_jas Posted 28 April, 2012 Share Posted 28 April, 2012 2005 in pompey walkabout of all places due to a fecking do and watching us get relegated.
