Crystal Palace Away won 0 – 2
The Southampton line-up at Crystal Palace was unchanged from the last league game, or, to put it another way, there were ten changes from the Carabao Cup team. We now know the manager’s preferred line-up, and after an excellent result, it would be a surprise if they didn’t appear next time out as well. It […]
Brighton Away Carabao Cup Round 2 Won 0 – 1
The opening rounds of the League Cup, EFL Cup, Carabao Cup or whatever you want to call it have long been a farce, and Brighton and Southampton’s selections for round two’s only all Premier League tie did nothing to make them more serious: only Elyounoussi and Albion’s Bissouma started in both the cup game and […]
Leicester Home Lost 1 – 2
Vestergaard and Elyounoussi recovered from illness and injury to face Leicester, giving Elyounoussi a first start, but there were two other changes and I can’t help but think a more settled approach would help the side. As it was there wasn’t even a place on the bench for Gabbiadini and Yoshida (the day after his […]
Everton Away Lost 2 – 1
Southampton announced early on that Elyounoussi was unlikely to feature at Everton and they decided not to start with Armstrong, either as a result of his knock in the opening game or lack of Premier League experience. Also missing was Vestergaard through some sort of lurgi, maybe brought on when he heard of the club’s […]
Burnley Home Drew 0 – 0
Another summer of change at Southampton, in common with just about every other club except Tottenham. This year the manager stayed the same, so we assume that the new acquisitions met with Mr. Hughes’ approval, even if a big striker didn’t seem to be on the shopping list: Danny Ings rather than Daniel Sturridge. There […]

Full Monty 168-7 (Nanton 4-11) London Saints 172-3 (Mayhew 50 no, Jones 44) A tale of two Johns, Andy’s and Dave’s A picture has been circulated of the winning team at the Witham Friary quiz on the first night of the Somerset tour.

LSCC Cricket Tour of Somerset 2018 – part 1
After a break of one year due to our Finland tour in 2017, the London Saints returned to familiar pastures this year, or did we? (more later) as a new opponent and the hot weather, which resulted in Witham Friary’s ground being unplayable, meant we played on two new grounds on our 2018 tour. Firstly […]

London Saints 171-8 (Nanton 44, Rogers 43, Griffiths 34) Coldharbour 155-8 (Rogers 4-15, Berkeley 2-32) Stand in skipper Andy Mayhew gave me (Ben) the daunting prospect of writing a report that would result in a London Saints defeat, it wasn’t going to be any different was it… However, the eleven Saints players buoyed by the […]
