LSSC vs. Roadrunners Old Haberdashers – 2nd August 2020 – The New Normal Saints win by 90 runs
Roadrunners – 137 all out – 28.3 overs (May 4-23, Calais 2-11) LSSC – 227-8 – 35 overs (Dowson H. 100 no, Rogers 38) We should have seen this coming really in this the most unpredictable and unlikely of years, London Saints finally started the 2020 season and did so with a win and a […]
Sheffield United Home Won 3 – 1
Bednarek was supposed to be fit enough to face Sheffield United at the end of the longest season ever, but he only made it as far as the bench… which is further than Højbjerg did. With the Blades playing only for 8th place and Saints trying to make their way up 11th, both sides could […]
Bournemouth Away Won 0 – 2
Ralph took the last away game of a highly successful campaign on the road very seriously, naming what was probably his best available side to face Bournemouth: Bednarek missed out through injury but there was a rare start for Long. The hosts had finished strongly when losing at Manchester City and were expected to be […]
Brighton Home Drew 1 – 1
Another broadcast provider for our penultimate home game, with SFC funding season ticket holders’ access to BT’s coverage. Ralph finally gave in to an increasingly compressed fixture list and made significant changes to the side to face Brighton, although keeping essentially the same formation; particularly notable were his choices of full back – Vokins on […]
Manchester United Away Drew 2 – 2
Yet another first for the visit to Manchester United: watching Saints ‘live’ in the pub. No crowd noises, but no commentary either – not necessarily a bad thing, although it did appear Mattie had been wheeled out for what I’m sure was totally unbiased expert analysis. United’s attacking players have been brushing aside all before […]
Everton Away Drew 1 – 1
A new broadcaster for the visit to Everton, Amazon Prime – surely they couldn’t be worse than Sky? Probably not, I don’t know; after firing up the computer at 5:30, Amazon presented me with a former Everton player and a former Everton manager as its two expert analysts, so back to The Chase on the […]
Manchester City Home Won 1 – 0 Che of the mark with great goal
We had reason to be thankful that Stephens only received a one match ban for his recent sending off; Vestergaard handled the awkward but limited Deeney very well but his lack of mobility would have been exploited by Manchester City‘s eager forward line. Also back, as far as the subs anyway, was Djenepo, the elapsed time […]
Watford Away Won 1 – 3
A sunny, if breezy, Sunday afternoon, first pint of Downlands Best Bitter poured and ready, sound turned down on the telly to avoid the Sky commentary, Johnnie Walker on the radio… only Saints could spoil things – and this being an away game, they didn’t let anyone down, You didn’t need TV sound to recognise […]
Arsenal Home Lost 0 – 2
During these peculiar times, our home stadium has been surrounded by a 12 foot high olive green solid metal barrier and for all I know they may have laid barbed wire and landmines in the no-mans-land leading up to the building itself. Fortress St. Mary’s? We wish! The team slumped to yet another home defeat, […]
It’s Back Norwich Away Won 0 – 3
It’s football again… but not as we know it. Yes, the Premier League is back, to maintain the integrity of the competition of course, and nothing whatsoever to do with the clubs keeping their claws on £760m of TV money. Borussia Mönchengladbach in Germany have been back for several weeks, but displaying a banner reminding […]
