Newcastle Home Drew 0 – 0
Saints had to line up for a critical home game against bottom placed Newcastle without Højbjerg, arguably their best player so far this season. How much notice they had of the Dane’s illness is unclear, but Romeu did not fit happily into the vacant role and a general air of mistrust of both their own […]

Another year and another awards evening – congratulations to David Nanton, Gary Speedtwin, John Smith, John Griffiths, Paul Shiels and Lana Twintub for respectively winning the Player of the Year, Clubman, Champagne Moment, Duck, Ian Shiels and Best Newcomer trophies. The club’s 38th year saw us play our 424th match. After two seasons with no […]
Bournemouth Away Drew 0 – 0
Fine weather for a first ever Premier League visit to Bournemouth on a Saturday afternoon, but what went on on the pitch singularly failed to match up to the occasion. The home side had a great opportunity in the very first minute when no-one in the Saints defence seemedprepared to halt Smith’s run from deep, but not […]
Darts Away Man City Lost 6 – 5
Let’s start with the good news, we had a full team and even a reserve last night and each of our players won at least two games. Now the bad news, although all our players won at least two games for most that was just the two team games, unfortunately between us we only won […]
Chelsea Home Lost 0 – 3
It was at home to Chelsea last season that Mark Hughes introduced his three centre back defence and after trying it again in the midweek cup tie, Chelsea were the first to face something similar in the League this time round as well. As a result the side conceded possession very readily but Maurizio Sarri’s […]
Carabao Cup 3rd Round Everton Away Full Time 1 – 1 , Won 3 – 4 on Penalties
Mark Hughes announced that he treated the EFL Cup with respect, which doesn’t quite explain the wholesale team changes made at Brighton. For Everton, though, only McCarthy, Bertrand and the two centre backs were notable absentees, with Soares, Lemina and Højbjerg somewhat surprise inclusions, supported by Soares and Targett in wide positions in front of […]
Wolverhampton Wanders Away Lost 2 – 0
Saints reverted to their team-we-can-beat formation at Wolverhampton but Austin lined up alongside Ings as Long was injured. The home team, meanwhile, are in quite a good place and managed to be unchanged for the seventh successive game, something that says a lot about their form. Wolves, though, were beatable and although it’s true that […]
Liverpool Away Lost 3 – 0
Ings is still owned by Liverpool so was ineligible for the trip to Anfield, but it was always likely that Mr. Hughes would change his preferred team anyway by including Romeu to block out the Reds’ midfield – in fact it was double glazing as Targett also started. Keeping the ball out of the net […]
Brighton Home Drew 2 – 2
With Long and Ings recovering from knocks, Saints were unchanged as they returned from the international break to face Brighton in TV’s Monday night game. I see nothing wrong in changing the line-up to face the league’s galacticos, but a settled side is best when the fixture list pits you against the sort of teams […]
