Colinjb Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 It can be an action, a chant, goal, a tackle, anything just so long it's one specific moment. For me, Lambert's goal v Blackpool in December. We showed such desire and character to get that, it showed how much we had grow and were willing to fight for results. A quality not consistently seen in our teams of the past. Honourable mention to singing 'I wanna go home......' at the Ricoh Arena in November. Personally rediculous and I loved it.
SuperMikey Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 Despite the heartache of the result, the celebrations after our goals vs P*mpey at SMS were amazing. Such a rush! Bet the Skates must've been ****ting themselves to see us all lunge (and in some cases, crowdsurf) our way closer to the barrier in Block 1! Still got the bruises on the backs of my knees from the seats hitting me as people fell down the rows of seats, and i've now got scars on my shins from falling over them myself!
saints-cris Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 De Ridder v Reading - that celebration with a full way end was mad. Lamberts winner at Millwall - probably never ever top that in terms of celebrations and smash and grabness.
Joe Kirkup Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 Lambo's couple away to Ipswich - After the first couple of wins expected a return to normality and couldn't believe we were now 2 up at a team that a lot fancied.
Jack Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 Lambert's 3rd at Millwall - 3 points and bagging us £625 from Corals, followed by a huge p*ss up in London which was heaving for Paddy's day. Best away game of the season for me.
LGTL Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 Far too many to mention. Last 10 minutes of Milwall, First half at Ipswich, whole of the Coventry game. But for me, nothing beats the header by Lambert at Fratton. That was a mental couple of minutes and it took me about 2 weeks to recover from it.
Lighthouse Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 Jos staring right at me and screaming with joy at Millwall. I couldn't figure out why as he'd just stuck a header over the bar, then I saw the ref had given a (the 2nd) penalty. Went nuts when Lambert converted it, that was the 'MK Dons moment' of this season.
brightspark Posted 1 May, 2012 Posted 1 May, 2012 For me seeing the team celebrate with Super Kelv after that heroic win at Leeds. As Neil Warnock would say, I don't know how the f**k we won that!
SNSUN Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Lambert's goal, Leeds away. Live on Sky, we were absolutely battered all game, the one chance we had, he fricking smashed it into the net, with a shot of such class, you wonder why he's playing in the second tier. So many to mention though. Connolly's goal against Boro probably demonstrated how good we were in the first half of the season.
Rut Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Sat Aug 13 2011. Barnsley 0 Saints 1. The last ditch defending made it 2 games, 2 wins. We struggled but won to stay in the top 2 and stayed there all season. The 5-2 @ Ipswich shortly afterwards may have made more headlines but this 1-0 in the 2nd game cemented the season for me.
AussieDog Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 It's a personal moment and something most people take for granted. The team walking onto the pitch at home to Doncaster, and Billy Sharp's first goal. It would be nothing to most people, but I had been telling my girls for years what it was like watching a "real" football match, and this was their first trip overseas and to a game. To see the look of shock on their faces when virtually the whole ground erupts was classic. Suffice to say they are now total converts!
saintscottofthenortham Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 De Ridder at Reading was a great moment. 4,500 Saints erupt. Going 0-1 up at Fratton, the first outing of "WTFILN?" Jos's goal on Saturday to make it 3-0 - the moment all the nagging doubt I had that we were going to f*** it up disappeared, and I could finally accept we were going up..

View From The Top Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Millwall. The last 10mins were fantastic. Went totally and utterly mental.
doddisalegend Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Best goal .....Tadanari Lee 1st goal for saints .....great goal and then looked over at Nigel who was probably celebrating harder than anyone in the ground Best personal to me ......on the pitch last saturday my 6 year old daughter turned to me and said "daddy this is the best day of my life" both my kids are totally Southampton fans for life now.
Orange Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Lambert's goal Leeds away- I got into the ground 10-15 minutes late fuming after having to cough up another £36, Leeds stewards being utter Nazis. A minute after, Lambert smashes it home with that lovely volley to send the small following into raptures. Sharp's vs the Skates, no explantion needed. Mad scenes.
mitch01 Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Full time away at Leeds was pretty special, even watching on TV.
James Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 The two goals in the last minutes at Millwall - no doubt about it...went absolutely mental and the top of the league chants echoing round London Bridge station on the way back were something else. Billy's first goal against Donny was pretty sweet - so desperately wanted him to succeed here and you could see how much it meant. His second against Pompey was a moment of sheer elation. Being on the pitch at the end of the season knowing we'd done it and put weeks of worry to bed finally. Such satisfaction.
svetigpung Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Enjoyed Watford away. Trip over with my 15 year old son. Warm, sunny winter day. Pub packed with saints fans. Good sing song. (too) easy match. Spent sat evening in London. Back to hotel and a right ****-up with the scousers (league cup weekend) at the bar. Home sunday.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Mine was leaving London Road and hearing that West Ham had only drawn at Bristol City. Changed the whole nature of the away game at Boro and meant a win against Cov would be enough.
CB Saint Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Turning up at the ground on saturday to be told by the missus that she had got me a box for my birthday. Watching a great game with family and friends in said box, and ending the day winning £330 on the scorecast - pretty much a perfect day.
Ziggy Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Mine was leaving London Road and hearing that West Ham had only drawn at Bristol City. Changed the whole nature of the away game at Boro and meant a win against Cov would be enough. Yes indeed. When I heard this in the car park I then knew that we were up.
shurlock Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Fox at Fratton. Should have had a camera following him all game.
Wiggles31 Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 De Ridders goal against Reading is up there. Went absolutely mental for that. Lamberts two late penalties were special. The moment you just knew this squad was not going to bottle it. FT against Coventry will stick with me for years and years. What an epic day and way to go up. It'll take winning the FA cup to beat that.
Stevie B Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Full time at Coventry, 2nd an 3rd vs millwall, de ridder's goal against reading, and the 2nd against Portsmouth just a shame what happened a few minutes later
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 The final whistle last Saturday, Job done. This, closely followed by Billy's celebration against the Skates & Fox celebrating in front of the fans at Palace after Lambo's first.
Barry the Badger Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 I still think back to the first game v Leeds, before we realised how good we were. Celebrations for that first goal were absolute carnage.
Bollards Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Millwall away for me. My 11 year old son's first away game. Not one he's going to forget!
pingwing Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Ipswich away, the 4th goal with Morg doing that lob! Nothing more amazing and exciting for what the season will contain.
Joesaint Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Tadanari Lee 1st goal for saints! Quality, love him. COYS
stev2001 Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Jos goal (our 3rd) vs Coventry This as I knew then we were definitely up.
BadgerBadger Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Tadanari Lee 1st goal for saints! Quality, love him. COYS Me too
jawillwill Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Can't decide between: Billy's second goal v Pompey. I think the ref only talked to the lino for about 20 seconds, but it felt like about an 20 minutes. Went a little bit mental when it was given. Shame about what happened 3 minutes later. The last 5 minutes away v Barnsley. 1-0 up but toying with Barnsley playing keep-ball. Jos scoring v Hull(?) and just celebrating standing still in the goal, with hands in the air. And, seeing as it hasn't cost us promotion and I can laugh about it, the whole 90 minutes of Bart v Blackpool.
sandwichsaint Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Walking out of Notts Forest and absolutely lording it over the former European Cup winners. One big club and one middle size club and one on an unstoppable upward curve. Nice.
dubai_phil Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Second goal on Saturday. It was then that I knew we were up. And a little tear or 5 welled up as I joined the screaming mayhem. Oh we've had better screaming moments (Millwall away for eg) but that on Saturday when I just knew that we were up and the remaining hour and a bit could be what I came back for PARTY TIME!
kpturner Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Fourth goal against Coventry, followed closely by third goal against Coventry, followed closely by second goal against Coventry, followed closely by first goal against Coventry.
JPTCount Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 it's been a good year so there's quite a few for me, but lee's goal against derby, and the link up between lee and lambert for his volley against watford stand out as 2 of my favourite goals but chaplow's performance against preston in the league cup was brilliant to watch, he got stuck in, drove the team forward, and looked like he enjoyed every minute of it, which imo always makes watching a good player that much more entertaining. he's become a favourite of mine since that game, and i honestly think when he was out, we missed him more than anyone else who's been absent. and the 'boro game was over when he went off, we crumbled
warsash saint Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Rickie's goal at Fratton Park & the subsquent 10 mins for me.
beatlesaint Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Walking away from Selhurst Park after seeing an away performance that convinced me we wouldn't blow promotion, especially after the disapointment of the skates equalizing so late on two day earlier. Then the third against Coventry. I felt pretty good after the second but the third took me to a whole new level
Dr Who? Posted 2 May, 2012 Posted 2 May, 2012 Full time whistle on Saturday, it has been so tense and emotional!
terry hurlock Posted 3 May, 2012 Posted 3 May, 2012 For me, with saints usually being slow starters to a season it had to be Leeds at home first game. Being 3-0 up within the hour and playing beautifully against a potential strong team made me realise that this season was gonna be great. With nothing to fear- the anticipation of the season ahead was so frigging exciting! it put those 'just maybe' thoughts in the back of my head after one game!
Saint_lambden Posted 3 May, 2012 Posted 3 May, 2012 Full time away at Leeds was pretty special, even watching on TV. Anyone find that video that was on here and on youtube of the FT reaction from that game?
