If there were crowds again back they would be murmering in anticipation whenever Armstrong got the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His form this season has been way off, though. 4 hours ago, Sheaf Saint said: He was pretty instrumental in their comeback from 2-0 down to beat us 3-2 IIRC. He also changed the game when he came on against us at Molineux during their first season back and beat us 2-0. Mind you, Mark Hughes was our manager at the time. If the opposition had brought Norman Wisdom on as a sub midway through the second half it would have left Hughes floundering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 12 February, 2021 Share Posted 12 February, 2021 Armstrong is my favourite Saints player. Very underrated. I'm sure we've won games when he hasn't played, but it does feel that if his name isn't on the starting sheet then we don't win. He makes a huge difference. Be interested to see know many games we've won when he hasn't played. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Wayman Posted 12 February, 2021 Share Posted 12 February, 2021 (edited) I thought we played quite well and thoroughly deserved to win. Still need to sharpen up our finishing. Despite the hollow threat of Wolves bringing on their 'big players' later in the match when we were expected to tire (and they would run rings around us in Extra Time), it never came to that. None of their subs made much impact simply because we managed each new threat as it arose. Salisu played well enough but needs match time to speed up and sharpen up, understandably he is very rusty and the pace may have surprised him. He'll learn but Bednarek & Vestergaard remain first choice for a while yet. Edited 12 February, 2021 by Charlie Wayman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're bloody passionate about your team and I hope the players, management and owners really appreciate that. Nice win. Keep it up. As a Saints supporter, no matter how geographically distant, you're more than welcome to use "our" and "we're" rather than "your" and "you're"...

Always available and intelligently playing between the lines he was a constant threat to Wolves. He is brave enough to back himself to take players on and very often gets past them. Now and then he gets caught out trying to be positive but I would prefer this to some of the others who nearly always resort to taking the easy option. His goal was superbly taken with a sweet strike that went in off the far post. We certainly miss his energy and drive when he doesn't play. Yep. I would go as far to say Armstrong is our most important player and the one we miss the most when he's out injured. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted 12 February, 2021 Share Posted 12 February, 2021 As a Saints supporter, no matter how geographically distant, you're more than welcome to use "our" and "we're" rather than "your" and "you're"... Yeah nah. I feel a bit uncomfortable doing that among such ardent fans when I haven't even been to one of Saints' games. I was going to stop posting on here and just read the forum occasionally but your friendly post has changed my mind. Now I'm going to see if i can buy a Saints jersey from the Le Tissier days when I first got interested. I know there is at least one other Saints fan in NZ: a guy called Brian Waddle who was a former radio test cricket commentator until he recently "retired" (in fact he was replaced after the contract was given to somebody else) once said he was a fan.

Sorry dude, if you feel ANY sort of emotion whilst watching Saints play, that makes you a fan, which makes you one of us. Its a shitter but there it is.

Chez Posted 12 February, 2021 Share Posted 12 February, 2021 On 11/02/2021 at 22:28, suewhistle said: Personal question Chez... are you old enough..? I've reached the age where I'm surprised that in 1976 many people posting here weren't born! The average age on here is surprisingly high I think. I was born in 74, so don't recall the cup final, but I do have fond memories of going to FA cup games such as the 1-3 win at white hart lane in 1990 and some less enjoyable ones, such as losing at Reading in 97. The champions league has eroded the fascination with the FA cup for the majority, but I choose to use each tie and as excuse to relive those memories of when I was younger and completely in love with the game and watching Saints. The FA cu semi final at Villa park in 2003 and the league cup semi at Liverpool were two of the best footballing experiences. I think there is no chance of having another this season, but I will certainly accept a cup victory if ti comes our way. COYR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chez Posted 12 February, 2021 Share Posted 12 February, 2021 23 hours ago, Tamesaint said: I agree entirely. It is why 1984 and Adrian Heath is so difficult for me. You know the phrase ... "if your name is on the cup". it's still as painful today as it was that day. Not even winning the god damn thing will wipe that away...but it wont do any harm. I am trying imagine the FA cup fever should I have been able to attend the games this year. I think the midweek win at Wolves would have got the juices flowing, and the tie at Bournemouth would feel like a proper old school FA cup tie with people genuinely getting excited. Maybe the FA should knock the Wembley semis on the head this year to bring a little bit of that magic back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a tourist hotspot but it does me/us. I always think and say that if you're content with your lot then it doesn't matter where you live (plenty of unhappy peopole living in New York, Paris and London for example). If any of you are ever over here let me know (even Turkish and Hypo). Joking. As you were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
