kwsaint Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 What was the most gutted that you have ever felt coming out of a Saints game? Disappointing as last Saturday was, for me it wasn't a patch on leaving Highbury in 84 after the FA Cup semi. That was just horrible.

Your thoughts (this promises to be a really cheerful thread)I was there that day as a young 14 yr old and it hurt in more ways than one. I was in agony cos I'd been on my tiptoes the whole game.

doddisalegend Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 2003 FA cup final ....really wanted to see saints win a cup final (to young for 76). Losing to Plymouth first game second season in league 1 was a real bummer to. Expectations were super high Plymouth had like one shot all game, which they scored with, never seen us lose such a one sided game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinjb Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 Weird one, the Skate derbies never really bothered me as the nature of a derby is that it throws up freak results. Plymouth at home in 2010 was bad but after the ride we had been through I wasn't surprised by it. Felt flat on Sunday but could take heart from the performance, relegation against Man Utd back in 2005 hurt like hell but the worst for me were three earlier results in the season. Home v Middlesbrough Home v Everton and Home v Aston Villa. Three games in which we played superbly only to suffer from terrible brain fade which saw 2 points collected rather then 9. The Villa game in particuar was the game which hurt the most, I knew we were down after that in my heart but the Everton fixture hurt more, we were utterly robbed.

Huffton Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 The relegation match is an obvious choice, but for me it was the last game at SMS before the takeover, against Burnley I think. Walking out of the ground the fact that we were relegated again didn't even cross my mind, it was the awful feeling that this could well be the last time I'll be doing this. Horrible.

The Cat Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 For some reason one that sticks in my mind was a 1-0 loss to Spurs at the Dell, Jose Dominguez scored late on. Not sure if anyone remembers but Ian Walker spat at some Saints fans near us in the front of the Archers. At the time I lived 3 minutes walk from the ground and went straight home without cooling off. I was so ****ed off I started kicking cupboard doors and chucking random stuff at walls only for my girlfriends Mum to appear out of the kitchen as I was in the process of lobbing the tv remote across the room. She made a hasty exit, so at least there was one positive outcome from the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 Oldham home in the cup, where did all the injury time come from? I can still see the ball now coming off benali into our net at the Milton end! The weird thing is we did not lose we drew, I think 2-2. We all knew that we would lose on the artificial pitch at Oldham. Also losing to Luton around about the same time, same kind of thing, but lost on the night.

Stud mark of doom Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 Got to be the '84 semi. The cup was as good as ours. We were MILES better than all the other teams left in it, with an outside chance of the double. I think Shilts said the ball hit a divot. Wasn't Bailey playing for them too who had a bit of history from our Div 2 days v Blackburn? We played them back at the Dell (I think) the next week and took them to the cleaners too.

um pahars Posted 6 September, 2012 Share Posted 6 September, 2012 Nothing from the 1973-2012 period comes close to Everton in the 84 Semi Final. A combination of being in touching distance of a double, an easy final against Watford or Plymouth, a time when Saints probably were my life etc etc etc meant that Adrian Heaths downward spawny header is forever etched in my memory. Wasnt that keen on Everton before that and are now up on the podium of teams I still can't stand (along with Oldham for reasons already mentioned!!)
