Stoke City Away Dew 0 – 0
The December round of midweek Premier League fixtures was unwanted by anyone, especially all associated with Southampton and their Europa and League Cup commitments; at least the insubstantial away following at Stoke meant you could sit down through the entire game – the downside was there was nothing to stand up for. The game’s only […]
Middlesborough Home Won 1 – 0
The day after a Saturday when the Premier League just rained goals, Southampton and Middlesbrough showed the world how the modern game should be played. At least there was a rare sub-29,000 attendance to witness a dreadful game, although the number of empty seats suggest less than the published number turned up – and you […]
Europa League Be’er Sheva Home Drew 1 – 1
By placing Southampton in pot 3 for the Europa League draw, UEFA at least didn’t expect them to qualify from Group K, but Inter’s poor form upset all the seedings – as we all know, Saints had a great chance to go through by keeping a home clean sheet against Hapoel Be’er Sheva, the only […]
Crystal Palace Away Lost 3 – 0
It was all going so well: a strong starting XI at Crystal Palace with only Davis rested out of those you’d like to see playing, and the team were duly passing their way around Selhurst Park – no-one was too surprised that they didn’t much look like scoring as that might have been asking too […]
Arsenal Away EFL Cup – Quarter-Final Won 2 – 0
As November slips into December, it’s usually time for Southampton to bow out of the League Cup at the quarter final stage – they’ve done so for the last two seasons and seven times in total since progressing to the 1987 semis. Drawn away to Arsenal, the bookmakers thought this time would be no different, […]
Everton Home Won 1 – 0
Inevitably there were jeers as Ronald Koeman returned to St. Mary’s with Everton, but of course RK was responsible for jetting us off to Israel, Milan and Prague, plus Arnhem and that pokey little place in Denmark. I don’t see anyone to blame particularly for the divorce; the Koemans have a career plan that involves […]
Europa League Away Sparta Prague Lost 1 – 0
We knew what to expect from the team selection in far-off Prague: fans who had expended time and money (very willingly, it must be admitted) would have sent out a stronger XI, but Sparta were weakened by problems forced upon them by injury and suspension, and anyway the game between the sides at St. Mary’s […]
Liverpool Home Drew 0 – 0
Games against our Italian Europa League opponents had reminded me of Britain’s first mass exposure to Helenio Herrera’s catenaccio defence – when Inter took on Celtic in the 1967 European Cup final, and seemingly failed to advance out of their own half after taking a 7th minute lead. Little did I expect Saints ever to […]
Pool Team Beat Newcastle to Win the Clydie Cup
London Saints Pool team beat Newcastle to win the Clydie Cup. The team captained by Steve Grant stormed into unassailable 5 – 1 lead, eventually winning 7 – 2 at the Southwark Brewery Bar, Tower Bridge.
Hull Away Lost 2 – 1
After Europa League excitement, Claude Puell reverted to most of his favourite starters for the game at Hull, land of the cream-coloured phone box, the sub-£3 pint and a team coming into the match with a string of seven league defeats behind them. The Saints line-up included changes on both sides of the defence, Bertrand […]
