36Years Ago Today
at 23:35 27 Mar 2024

...one year on and I remember being at Loftus Road watching the young Shearer and Paul Rideout filleting the QPR defence in a 4-1 massacre. With both Micky Adams and Raymond Wallace out injured, we started that game with our two reserve full backs, Messrs J.Dodd & F.Benali.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Luckily you weren't at the away game at Sunderland, March 1978, I was at Durham Uni at the time and hooked up with a dozen or so Saints fans who'd travelled up from the New Forest that morning. They had about two overcoats between them as the icy gales seared into Roker from the North Sea.

'It wasn't this cold in Ringwood yesterday' said the girl sitting next to me as her lips started to turn blue.

Saints Players Nicknames

Showing my age now, but I remember full back Joe Kirkup was called 'Gentleman Joe' for the way he showed opposing wingers the space behind him down the line and said "After you sir"...

Always thought JS was more suited to play as a defensive midfielder, his distribution out of defence was always v good and plays the ball FORWARD and to feet, but that might not suit the RM style of play

Another Livramento scenario - grass is always greener, etc..., but hopefully Tino can get his chance now Trippier seems to be imploding

In terms of trying to get us promoted from the EFL, how about Scott Parker?

If RM 'doesn't trust' Charley, then why even name him as sub? I suspect so he can leave him on the bench all match to show Charley who's the boss. I agree with Pat, this is a 'lose-lose' scenario all round.

On a positive note, at least 0-1 didn't further pulverise our goal difference. The way things are going, that might be crucial if we are going to stay in this division as I can't see us getting anything out of our final game at Leeds!

Our manager
at 16:19 5 Sep 2023

I totally agree with the experienced manager comment. While he may come with a health warning, I wonder if SR ever considered Scott Parker before gambling on RM...?

...and the icing on the cake is a text I've just had from a mate who's a season ticket holder at Cheltenham, and the end of the game there today, the home fans massively turned on their team and booed them off the pitch! Oh, did I mention it was Portsmuff? Deep, deep joy!!

Top 3 worst signings by Saints
at 18:49 1 Jul 2023

Not sure many people on here will remember a certain FRANK SAUL has to be right up there with the worst, I think he signed for us as part of the deal that took Big Chiv to Spuds. Never saw a player fall over so much as dear old Frank :( !

Was a massive follower of Hampshire CC in the 70's/80's, dream team openers of Barry Richards and Gordon Greenidge, Jesty the super all rounder and the demon Andy Roberts leading the bowling. Was there ever a better Hants county side??

We need to be planning for a fresh start
at 20:07 30 Apr 2023

If you believe that the SR strategy is to nurture young talent for eventually selling on to improve the balance sheet, then why not put in the starting squad for the last few games the likes of Dom Ballard, Tyler Dibling and Lewis Payne.

I appreciate the Alan Hansen mantra that 'You can't win anything with kids', but we're not winning anything with the adults, so what is there to lose?

Sebastian Coe is invited to see England play cricket at Lords. He approaches a gate at the back of the ground to get in, and is confronted by one of the notorious Lords Gatemen

Gateman: Sorry sir, your badge if for the Front Gate, you'll have to enter through there
Lord Coe: So where's the Front Gate?
Gateman: It right over the other side of the ground sir
Lord Coe: The other side of the ground??!! Look, have you any idea who I am? I'm Sebastian Coe!
Gateman: In that case sir, it shouldn't take you long to get there

On the subject of bad backs, I suffered terribly until a friend suggested some new-fangled invention called 'Orthopaedic Shoes'. I bought a pair thinking that they'll NEVER work.

However, I stand corrected.
