Fan The Flames Posted 23 May, 2023 Share Posted 23 May, 2023 Chatting to my Brighton mate last night and their upcoming European campaign and the two we had (well one really). Made me get pissed off all over again with getting knocked out on head to head results by the away goal rule instead of going through on goal difference. Shit rules that year, and so typical of us to get fucked up by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansums Posted 23 May, 2023 Share Posted 23 May, 2023 Surprised no one has mentioned the League Cup Final against United, I know we lost but we played well and should have won. The Gabbiadini equaliser and the five minutes or so after will live with me forever. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josebaiw Posted 25 May, 2023 Share Posted 25 May, 2023 The 8-0 against Sunderland will always stick with me. I was stuck sat in a hotel in Winchester watching it all unfold on Final Score. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be in everyone's list surely? if not no. 1!! That is what it was all for - saints back in the big time, the culmination of years of strife in the lower leagues. Big man comes on and boom, queue scenes. Most memorable moment of them all for me. Edited 26 May, 2023 by Saint86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austsaint Posted 26 May, 2023 Share Posted 26 May, 2023 I can't go past the 3-2 win v Liverpool when Mane and Wanyama came on at half time and inspired the Koeman managed comeback. There was also a 3-1 win over City under Poch's watch where Luke Shaw really announced himself, and the whole side looked ready to take on any Prem opponent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkswood Posted 26 May, 2023 Share Posted 26 May, 2023 (edited) For me) 1) The 3-2 at Spurs : firstly I managed to be there : secondly I absolutely detest spurs : and thirdly we were like 1970s Brazil that night. We absolutely destroyed them and without exaggeration we should have been 6 -1 up at halftime. Then they had their last minute equaliser scrubbed off. That night was magic for me. 2) league Cup final. In the 20 minutes after we equalised we had them on the rack and reallyreally let them off and the atmosphere In our end was something I'll never forget. 3) For me has to be the long winner in the semi at Anfield to get us there. Bedlam 4) Most of our games under Poch, my favourite manager. Watching us under him was a joy, we made teams suffer. 5) yeah top of the league, even for a short time Edited 26 May, 2023 by Hawkswood Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stud mark of doom Posted 26 May, 2023 Share Posted 26 May, 2023 When we were down in the championship and league 1 last time I almost gave up hope of competing at the highest level of the game - there was so much money involved. My son was born towards the start of this period and I thought it very unlikely he’d ever see the type of football I was fortunate to watch in the 80s with the Keegan era, finishing second, and the brilliant young players coming through. I was wrong - we did compete and at times we were incredibly good, even better than the teams of the 80s I’m his first two home games we scored 8 goals (Norwich and Newcastle towards the end of 2013/14). At the start of the next season we hit another four past Newcastle, again without reply, and then - incredibly - doubled that against their rivals, without really breaking sweat. His first away game was at old Trafford - we won that too thanks to Tadic, and we deserved it. (I had to go for years before seeing us win away.) We won on our next away game too - at Swansea. It was only right at the end of our third away game - at arsenal and 1-0 for most of the match - that we actually saw a home side manage to score against us. Several trips to Wembley followed too, including a brilliant performance in the league cup final. We definitely competed. The MoPo and RoKo teams were top drawer. And even in the years following we would throw in an excellent game every now and then. What a great 11 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obelisk Posted 26 May, 2023 Share Posted 26 May, 2023 I find myself thinking back to the 4-0 win over Coventry in 2012 that saw Saints promoted to the top division with Coventry heading the other way. All that effort used in getting back into the EPL and now seemingly discarded without much of a fight. How ironic that Coventry could now be replacing Saints in the EPL.
