Liverpool Away EFL Cup 2nd Leg Won 1 – 0
The chances of succeeding in the League Cup semi final at Liverpool, whether in 90 minutes, 120 minutes or even after penalties, seemed to depend on whether Van Dijk was fit enough to play – and he wasn’t. There was no sign of the fog we’d seen in the south of England, so a postponement […]
Leicester Home Won 3 – 0
When an upcoming League Cup semi final put paid to Monday night football against Leicester, I didn’t expect having to get up early on a Sunday morning to scrape ice off the car in order to make a noon kick off. But the timing seemed to suit Saints as they recorded their first league win, […]
Norwich Home FA Cup 3rd Round Replay Won 1 – 0
Both Southampton and Norwich made wholesale changes to their League line-ups for their F.A. Cup replay, which came as no surprise to anyone, certainly not those who stayed away from a meagre crowd. Those who did turn up showed little vocal interest in the proceedings, and with the Kingsland Stand closed, there was a ‘youth […]
Burnley Away Lost 1 – 0
Saints’ last appearance at Burnley resulted in an undeserved 1-0 defeat after the visitors dominated play and missed several chances, including a penalty. At the moment missing opportunities is not as critical as a failure to create them, but trudging out of Turf Moor again with no goals and no points was another disappointment, although […]
Liverpool Home EFL Cup Semi Final First Leg Won 1 – 0
Southampton didn’t consider the unsettled Fonte for selection for the EFL Cup game against Liverpool, which seemed a self-imposed handicap as well as calling the player’s professional attitude into question. In addition, and like Morocco, they are again without Boufal through injury, but otherwise the starting team looked to be the strongest possible (and as […]
Norwich Away FA Cup 3rd Round Drew 2 – 2
There is a view that the timetable for the FA Cup (now the Emirates FA Cup, of course!) is the major obstacle to a winter break in the top echelons of English football. I’m still to be convinced of the need for such a break (although a fixture pile up has hit Saints more than […]
London Saints Win Big Saints Quiz
More than 20 local venues have helped to raise in excess of £2000 worth of vital funds for Saints Foundation by signing up to host a Big Saints Quiz. Saints legend Matt Le Tissier played quizmaster for the winning teams from each venue at the final, which was held at St Mary’s, on Monday 17th […]
London Saints Player of the Season 2015/16 Presentation
Virgil Van Dijk receives the Mick Strickland Trophy from Charlie Laing and John Middleton after the Middlesbrough game on Sunday December 11th.
Everton Away Lost 3 – 0
Three games in less than six days isn’t unheard of at holiday times, but the game has changed since that was similar to the regular Easter timetable, and it’s not surprising that Saints had to manipulate their squad to cope with the Christmas and New Year schedule foisted on them, and them alone. The approach […]
West Brom Home Lost 1 – 2
Saints are again bemoaning the effect of too many games in too few days, but this time the problem was not the fault of European commitments but the TV companies’ decision to switch the Boxing Day game to the middle of the Twixmas period. That left a tired squad to face West Bromwich on New […]
