Saint Matty 76 Posted 14 August, 2021 Share Posted 14 August, 2021 I'm not overly confident but neither are they by the looks of it. Definitely a good time to play them, but I would take a point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefizzy14 Posted 14 August, 2021 Share Posted 14 August, 2021 I'm hoping we can get off to a good start today 2-1 to us a Prowsey freekick and a debut goal from Adam Armstrong - COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite the bad record up there, I can't remember Saints being dismantled at GP. Why not a win, or at least a score draw. Good luck to AA if he starts. They got dismantled there in 1999, I went as a 30th birthday present to myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that; you deserved better on such a big day- but in recent times, with an imperfect memory it's been a Richarlison/Calvert-Lewin, or a Sigurdsson worldy which has been the difference. They shouldn't be feared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at that game if it was a 4-1 defeat, 0-0 until just before HT, Gough scored a header as part of 4 goals in 10 minutes including a mix up between Claus and Jonah resulting in the former looping a header in super slow motion beyond the latter. Jeffers pre Arsenal got a couple. Marian got one back IIRC. Kevin Davies’s first game back I think as well swapped for Egil. Two other memories - bloodied Saints and Everton fans outside the ground who apparently had fought Liverpool fans before the game. From talking to them it sounded like the Reds kicked off at both parties and pool balls and cues were being used as weapons. There was also a group of Saints fans waving £50 notes and chanting ‘there’s lots and lots of money in the south’ in the days before the north started voting Tory. Being called a southern Tory insert expletive was not unknown at northern away games in the 1990s. Edited 14 August, 2021 by saint1977 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Wolf Posted 14 August, 2021 Share Posted 14 August, 2021 We're clearly going to lose because it's a bogey ground, they're a good team, new manager and we rarely win on opening day.
