CumbrianSaint Posted 4 October, 2015 Share Posted 4 October, 2015 So many games to pick from since we've been promoted back to the Premier League, I think my personal favourite was either the 4-1 against Villa soon after being promoted or beating City 3-1 when they were challenging for the title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 4 October, 2015 Share Posted 4 October, 2015 We've been spoilt in many ways as we've had so many great wins. Hard to top the Sunderland 8-0 (Bonus points for it being against Poyet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianSaint Posted 4 October, 2015 Author Share Posted 4 October, 2015 Completley forgot a result thats very personal to me, beating Newcastle 4-1 the day my grandma died, shed been a season ticket holder for over 40 years, and had to stop going when we moved out of the Dell to Saint Marys as it was just a bit too far for her to go(my grandad still lives in the house that would have overlooked the Dell), sounds a bit silly but it felt like Saints delivered the result just for her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian lord Posted 4 October, 2015 Share Posted 4 October, 2015 Yesterday the most satisfying. To hammer a nail in that smarmy to$$er's coffin is most gratifying. And to play in such style and also on Sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 4 October, 2015 Share Posted 4 October, 2015 (edited) Think yesterday was just about as good as it has got so far. Given we should also have had 2 penalties and Tadic should have scored as well, it could easily have equalled our 6-2 victory at the Bridge from 1967 (Davies (4), Chivers (2), Osgood (2, but for Chelsea)) Edited 4 October, 2015 by VectisSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 4 October, 2015 Share Posted 4 October, 2015 I think the City game where we went into it as cannon fodder and had all those mega bucks players looking at each other, and the manager, 1st half not knowing what to do as we hit them with a tornado, Gareth Barry getting sucked right up in the funnel with a lovely finish. That thought brought a smile to my face as standing on the concourse chatting with friends pre match someone asked A general question of what the result would be, when 2 of us said we would win everyone looked at us like we had just come out of the funny farm. Sunderland was special as they were beaten but we kept our foot on their throat and ripped them apart, just like Villa, yesterday was very good in a similar way, they are in a dark place right now and we ruthlessly exploited that without mercy.

Yes Chelsea were certainly 3rd if not 4th best in London in those days behind the likes of Arsenal Spurs and even possibly Westham (Moore Hurst etc.) never mind Man U Leeds Liverpool Derby Notts Forest and Everton. They are the Manchester City of London following the Ambramovitch millions invested in them. that took them from a top 12 club to the top 3 or 4. So this win is certainly the more impressive !

Tommy Docherty was manager at the time, he was quite special (and at least is not a arrogant **** like the current incumbent). Dave Sexton took over soon after and was in charge when they won 5-3 at The Dell later in the season (Jan 1968 - my first Saints game). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 4 October, 2015 Share Posted 4 October, 2015 Probably yesterday as it was a high profile game, we bossed it, didn't win by sitting back but scored 3 open play goals. Superb. First City home win a tied second with the Man Utd away game from last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lighthouse Posted 4 October, 2015 Share Posted 4 October, 2015 I think the 8-0 was the one that really blew my mind. Sometimes smaller teams catch the big boys with their pants down, like we did yesterday and at Old Trafford but nobody else has pulled off an 8 goal win since that Spurs/Wigan game. It's once every 10 years stuff, so that gets it for me. Yesterday a close second OT third Beating City at home 3-1 Beating Liverpool at Anfield Beating them at St Mary's 6-1 against Villa 2-0 against Arsenal on NYD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adrian lord Posted 4 October, 2015 Share Posted 4 October, 2015 The last game that was quite so infused with pride in a devastating performance combined with a sense of long awaited justice and reward was when we crushed Spurs 4-1 and got Hoddle sacked. That too was on Sky for the nation to savour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabrone Posted 4 October, 2015 Share Posted 4 October, 2015 Pulping Sunderland was great but honestly last night was probably the best. OK the Chelsea players are having a wobble but they are still a class team and will pull it back - for us to go there, lock horns and end up outplaying them was outstanding. Shame that there's another international break now - last night would have given us some real momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedAndWhite91 Posted 4 October, 2015 Share Posted 4 October, 2015 I think possibly the 3-1 win over Man City at home. Our first season back in the Prem, it had been a frustrating start after losing 8 out of our first 10 games. After that we drew a lot, lost a few, beat QPR, Newcastle, Reading and Villa, but then came the English champions on a crisp February night... And we smashed them. That evening for me felt so special, probably because I'd had a few beers beforehand, but on the way home I kept saying that I couldn't believe we'd just torn the English champions a new one. League One was not a distant memory, to see us down there and then to see us back in the Prem beating a team like Man City was a great feeling.

Sticking 8 on Sunderland was remarkable but mainly because they were bad, and beating a crappy Villa side 4-1 isn't even in the same hemisphere.

Turkish Posted 4 October, 2015 Share Posted 4 October, 2015 Under Koeman we've won at Old Trafford, Stamford bridge and the Emirates and won 8-0 and 6-1 at home in less than a year. Despite all the moaning on here it puts into perspective what an amaZing job he's done to not know rebuild the team but produce results like that.

ScepticalStan Posted 4 October, 2015 Share Posted 4 October, 2015 I'd go for the 0-1 against United at Old Trafford. At the time, United were actually in good form (If I remember rightly they were top of the form table over the most recent 10 matches or so) and many were expecting them to kick on. To win and overtake them really made people sit up and take notice. I remember seeing tonnes of posts on other football forums saying words to the effect of "Jesus...Southampton really aren't ****ing around are they...they really could finish top 4 ". Yesterday was a beauty but the only thing is that I think there's a real chance Chelsea could end up finishing outside the top four. I'm sorry to say I think a lot of teams are going to beat that Chelsea side and when you've got so many eggs in one basket with Mourinho's all-or-nothing approach we could end up being one of many teams to beat them comfortably (I mean hell, Swansea and Palace have gotten results at Stamford Bridge as well as us already).

Pastor Patrón Posted 4 October, 2015 Share Posted 4 October, 2015 8-0, you don't get more points for beating a good side and it was f#cking hilarious . I was literally almost crying with joy/laughter watching the game, it was amazing. The 6-1 against Villa would come second for me, similarly I was just laughing at how awesome it was scoring every time I sat back down. Can't comment on the Chelsea game because I missed it but nothing beats the fun factor of absolutely battering another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alpine_saint Posted 5 October, 2015 Share Posted 5 October, 2015 There have been loads, come on. Sad we never beat a Brenda Liverpool, at Anfield, with Lovren Lallana and Clyne playing; that would have taken some beating. As would beating spurs at WHL under Levy's and Pochettino's noses.

Mallagroth Posted 5 October, 2015 Share Posted 5 October, 2015 Tough call, probably not yesterday because I kinda predicted it and there was a feeling we could win that one. I said 3-1 was more than doable with Chelseas form and backroom dramas and if we replicated the swansea games determination and team work, I just wish i'd put my money where my mouth was. Im gonna have to go with others on the Sunderland smashing, with Man Utd close second (Avoiding being biased because i was lucky enough to be there and it was cracking atmosphere.) If we manage to beat Tottenham away by a margin of two goals, it will undoubtedly go straight to the top of mine and many other peoples list. Favourite regular opponent of the season as a separate question? I love it every time newcastle come down to us, always got a feeling we are going to smash them and their fans reactions are priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Wolf Posted 5 October, 2015 Share Posted 5 October, 2015 Saturday, last season's win at OT and the 8-0 against Sunderland. I really enjoyed the League Cup win at Arsenal too. Interesting how Koeman's been in charge for all of them. I'm not saying we didn't have great results under Poch and Adkins but those four topped them all. I think if I had to pick one, I'd go with the 8-0. That was something very, very special. You only get a result like that for any team once every 3-4 years and it may never happen to us again. I can be pretty confident that unless the world ends in the next few years, we WILL go to the defending Champions and win again and we WILL win at Old Trafford again at some point.

BoscombeScummer Posted 5 October, 2015 Share Posted 5 October, 2015 For me personally it would have to be the win at Old Trafford last season. I was watching in a packed sports bar in NYC, the only Saints fan amongst a hoard of plastic Man U fans. When Tadic scored I went nuts, same at the final whistle. It was fun.
