Colinjb Posted 1 May, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 1 May, 2012 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Kirkup Posted 1 May, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted 1 May, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGTL Posted 1 May, 2012 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightspark Posted 1 May, 2012 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 2 May, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rut Posted 2 May, 2012 Share 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 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintscottofthenortham Posted 2 May, 2012 Share 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..

Orange Posted 2 May, 2012 Share 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.

James Posted 2 May, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiggles31 Posted 2 May, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jawillwill Posted 2 May, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubai_phil Posted 2 May, 2012 Share 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!

JPTCount Posted 2 May, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry hurlock Posted 3 May, 2012 Share 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!
