That was the year that was

Pompey coming to St Mary's was memorable, if not one of the most gutting ends to a match I've ever witnessed. When Norris' goal went in I felt like all my insides had just vanished in an instant and I was completely empty. Went mental for Billy's second goal though. Weird to think 8 months later we are in the Premier League with a realistic chance of staying up, whilst they're dangling by a thread over the League 2 trap door.

 

Millwall away was another fantastic result. To turn around that game in the last 2 minutes after such a sh*t performance was brilliant. I was on the train home thinking 'that was our MK Dons moment'.

 

Listening to Saints beat Coventry on 5 live, whilst at work was another brilliant moment. I was gutted I couldn't be there.

Forest away without Rickie was a good one. Millwall, and Watford were personal favourites as a good drink up and 3 points both times. However my fav moment was leaving London road and receiving a text saying that west ham had messed up at Bristol City, that was the moment for me. We could lose at Middlesbrough and would still go up.

 

2012 will always be a special year football wise for me, maybe even the best. Other years brought more sucsess but it was unexpected and my nipper came to most away games with me. He could only remember us from burley onwards, so watching him loving every minute of it will live with me forever

Millwall (A). Best away I've done in decades and watching my 10yo nipper going mental and ending up 4 rows further down then when he started was wonderful. I knew we'd go up then.

 

Palace (A) was pretty special considering how close to the disappointment of the skate game it was. A really professional performance if front of the huge, very loud, away fans.

 

Did most away games with him, bar Posh as that was a school night and loved every second of it.

 

Ironically my lad's continued success at playing sports in 2012 is removing our opportunities to see Saints in the flesh, despite season tickets, in 2013.

Saints Villa game was a highlight for me. A couple of my close mates are Villa fans and the Saints Villa game always used to be our annual day out on the pish before we were relegated. Great to get our day out back, but more importantly great to be on the smug side of the post match beers!

I think my favourite Saints moment was the release of that picture of Matt Taylor and Billy Sharp which showed what utter crap the West Ham fans were spouting about Sharp having "dived" and Taylor "not having touched him".

 

Oh, and our second goals against Coventry and Man City. Weird to think they were successive league matches !
