How I hate 2-3

[Tom & Gerry]

It's a scoreline that sums Saints up over the years- played well but a few defensive errors and we've lost. It's held us back. Oh how our meagre honours board would have been transformed if the scoreline could have been 3-2 to us . We've lost 3 Wembley cup finals by that score for heavens sake.

For me it all goes back to 1964, a re-run of the 63 Semi final against holders Man Utd, 2-0 up at half time, played well but defensive errors in the second half and we lost 3-2. It was a template for things to come. I'm sure we have won matches 3-2 over the years but you will only know that Saints are a force to be reckoned with when we win one of the big matches by that scoreline.

I suppose 0-9 is worse but oh do I hate 2-3.
