1. My 4th visit there and have two wins and two defeats. Saints have won there 3 times in all so not too bad a record
2. Big fan of that Howling Hops, and there are several similar bars in the area. The queues for the 'Hot Girl Boxing' at the bar opposite as we left suggest there was all sorts of entertainment in the area if that is your thing
3. I don't think I have been in the Upper Tier before and was only there yesterday after losing my rag when buying the tickets using the awful Saints website on my phone. Now think it is actually the better view
4. The stadium emptied far quicker when we won 3-0 there on our first visit
5. The '15 minutes to kick off' recording from Ray Winstone was made to sound like Ronnie and Reggie were coming to collect their protection money |

There was a spell.when we were 2-1 up that I said that we would be 4-2 down by the break. They were battering us and I think we went about 10 mins without a touch in their half. Then we got the third and thought our game management in the second half was superb, albeit with some great saves from Peretz.
Leo wasn't brilliant but still played his part in the goals. If he performed to his absolute best every week, he wouldn't be playing for us! |

Well, if they win Saturday and we lose, they've done their own promotion push a favour, as they’ll be above us |

Reply | Our best game against Bolton

That time in 96 when we win 1-0 at Burnden Park with MLT scoring. Pretty awful, tense game but it left it in our own hands to stay up.
We did a minibus uo there and were parked in a huge car park behind our end (probably for the supermarket). A Bolton fan wasnt happy with all the Saints fans celebrating and went over to a Saints bloke and said "Come on, me and you" and was doing the bouncing up and down goading him. The Saints fan wasn't interested but it went on. The Bolton bloke said "Come on, you have the first punch". So the Saints matey hit him and knocked him spark out. It was like that scene in Snatch with the Bolton fan flying up in the air and then crashing down on his back. There was silence as everyone expected a riot, and then laughter |

Obviously any defeat is bad, and the 4-1 at their place in particular. The 1-0 the season before wasn't much fun either. We didn't start playing till the last 10 mins and could have scored twice. Just once could well have sent them down
The 4-1 defeat at SMS was weird in that we battered them first half, David James was superb and then we just ran out of legs. And that night I started to feel rough and was soon hospitalised with pneumonia and pleurisy. Probably because of them. |

My old man wouldnt take me in 84 as he "didn't want me in the way". Not that he ever took me anyway, but I did want to go! I was only 10 though
96 was my first win and it was all pretty easy. Remember all the pubs in town being shut and having to go to the Two Brothers pub (Bitterne?) where I got spectacularly drunk.
The 2-0 League Cup win was great. Probably the edgiest atmosphere SMS has had.
The 4-0 League Cup win was great fun as well. Fratton Station afterwards in particular |

I watched Pressure the other week. Pretty tense stuff, and very well portrayed.
Currently reading Warday, which is set in 1988 and a limited nuclear strike on the US and the aftermath of that. May give it a rest for a bit as I start to scare myself |

I once dialled an 0898 number that was advertised in one of the Sunday papers and told my mum it was Saints Club call, as it was less of a bollocking |

I had forgotten that Mozart Estate were supporting tomorrow. Think may be supporting The Coral as well. And probably Michael Head. He is certainly a character... We'll arrange a beer at that Michael Head gig. Where will you be travelling from?
I want Oasis tickets so my two boys can go. If I go as well, great, but want them to go more
I was in Glasgow the other week. I didn't know there was Paninaro shop. Probably just as well |

Thats how I feel as well. I dont think he is good enough for Saints at the moment but maybe he will be a better keeper in the future, in the way that Tim Flowers er, blossomed after a spell out of the limelight.
It is the personal abuse that I don't get. None of the players that receive it are wilfully bad, and abuse will not help them |

They were singing that at the League Cup game the other week and it is still catchy. Remember singing it myself after that game 10 years ago as well |

Just saw the Bolton highlights. Credit where it is due, Bazunu won them that match today.
As I type some Birmingham player just produced what must be the worst miss I have ever seen. Wow. |

Ah ok. I don't remember the stand we were in being that big, but it does make sense (and it was 30 years ago) |
