Dellman Posted 10 May, 2018 Share Posted 10 May, 2018 Sounds like you weren't at St Mary's 3-0 against Leeds with 20 mins to go... Wasn't that Harry's last match in charge, or am I mistaken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 10 May, 2018 Share Posted 10 May, 2018 What year? I lost the ability to remember every game years ago tbh. Back in 2005 iirc? Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 10 May, 2018 Share Posted 10 May, 2018 I saw that. Sunderland fans were well fed up and kept spitting at as as we left the ground. I think that it was a six pointer and they went down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cabrone Posted 10 May, 2018 Share Posted 10 May, 2018 Didn't we wind 5-4 at Norwich in one of the 90s escapes and Tiss scored from a corner or something like that? That was a great escape, this was a great FUBAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 10 May, 2018 Share Posted 10 May, 2018 In the 98-99 season we (apparently) picked up 14 points from the first 60 available.!!!!! We picked up just 6 points away from home before dellhurst Park and that included a win at Blackburn Le Tiss only scored 7 league goals that campaign and we got a couple of pastings that season too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colehillsaint Posted 10 May, 2018 Share Posted 10 May, 2018 (edited) Back in 2005 iirc? Good times. Umm. I was there and can vaguely remember, having looked it up. Early season, I had thought we looked good to go back up but it just melted away. The game was a shock turnaround.

And some don’t realise just how good the last few years have been as a saints fan. Just a general observation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissyboy31 Posted 12 May, 2018 Share Posted 12 May, 2018 There was 1996. We were 0-0 with Wimbledon at home and City were up against Liverpool and it was 2-2 (they'd fought back from 2-0 down). The last 10 minutes whereby a goal for Wimbledon or City would relegate us was absolute torture. If I recall. City thought 2-2 was enough and were celebrating (due to the dramatic comeback) only to discover they'd gone down on goal difference. I remember Steve Lomas taking the ball to the corner flag, thinking the point was enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkonOkereke Posted 12 May, 2018 Share Posted 12 May, 2018 Always better in the 90's before Internet etc, Men with Radios up to ears, scores of other games slowly filtering through the ground, players battling like nutters. This "escape" was pathetic given the board should've changed Manager after we got spanked by Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This "escape" was pathetic given the board should've changed Manager after we got spanked by Leicester. Think it’s still a bit like that today, except everyone has a mobile device all automatically clamouring for a mere hint of 4G and one lucky soul wins the lottery and gets just enough for a score update to be delivered to his phone, and casually mutters it to his mate sat alongside him loud enough for folks to hear and away the rumour goes like the opening credits to Mission Impossible. That said Mrs JBS has a chap sat next to her, who turns up plugs in his earphones and listens to the Solent commentary whilst watching. Back on topic - Should we succeed this couldn’t be classsed as great escape, just getting out of a situation we should never have found ourselves in. It’s more of a great escape for the dithering board. The Great Escapes whilst confined at The Dell were achieved with the club operating at the extreme limits of its budget.

It will have been an escape, but not that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
