Pool and Darts Night
The evening had 14 players taking part. The darts draw was a little lopsided, with one strong group of five. Reg (Ray) Betts wins another trophy, the Pool. Reg beat Mike McIntyre 2-0 in the final after coming through the Preliminary round. He beat Terry Collis, Matt Herridge, John Watkins and Mike McIntyre. It was the […]
Spurs Away
Spurs lost their discipline as well as their outside chance of the title when playing Chelsea, with the outcome being that Dembele joined Alli on the FA’s naughty step, ruling him out of the Saints game. Tadić shot wide and Forster saved well in the opening exchanges, but the Southampton stopper was badly at fault […]
The Day We Won The Cup by John Middleton

The sun shone, the Southampton City Golf Course unfurled its finest greenery and a dozen golfers of varying competence chomped on bacon baps […]
Aston Villa Away
In a week when Aston Villa lost two players to internal discipline and two board members to a row with the Chairman, would they also lose a tenth consecutive match? The signs were there from the start that Southampton would not play their traditional role of fall guy in these situations as it took nearly […]
Everton Away
Southampton’s own web site, no less, reminded everyone of the club’s woeful record at Goodson Park: two wins in thirty two attempts, and most of the thirty that got away were defeats, including a couple of embarrassingly heavy ones. Ronald Koeman is only responsible for one of the losses, but the latest game at Everton […]
Newcastle Home
Davis was unavailable for the home game with Newcastle and with no obvious like-for-like replacement beyond Tadić, who was likely to play anyway, that meant a choice between a more attacking or more defensive midfield: manager Koeman chose the former with Long playing in front of a back four. It soon proved to be an […]
