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 […]
Tottenham Hotspur Home lost 1 – 4
Saints made an ideal start against Tottenham when Van Dijk headed home Ward-Prowse’s free kick after just 70 seconds. They looked comfortable with the lead too, with a pressing game denying the visitors any control, but that all changed when they got unlucky in the 19th minute: Sissoko’s cross took a deflection and fell perfectly […]
Postcards from Group K
You could forgive our welcome visitors from Europa League Group K for being a bit disappointed with our city: with due respect to The Bargate and Mayflower Park, Southampton doesn’t have the same attractions as the sights of the Holy Land, Milan’s chic or baroque Prague. Stuck away at the northern edge of the […]
Bournemouth Away Won 3 – 1
The game at Bournemouth completed an intense run of fixtures, but with eleven days before the next match, surely Saints would field their strongest team for what one side at least regarded as a ‘South Coast Derby?’ If that was indeed the case, then overlooked senior players like Fonte and Davis may have used their […]
Problems With Tickets
Please can you all be aware that for the second occasion this week, one of the London Saints members has been denied access to the ground, because the ticket has been cancelled and a duplicate ticket issued, fortunately both managed to get into the games, but both had to pay for an additional ticket. Due […]
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 […]
