What Is Your Favourite Game At St Mary's Ever !

With little Saints stuff to discuss over the two week International break, lets get a bit Interactive and share our favourite ever games at St Mary's

Its surprising to realise that this is the 14th season at St Mary's since leaving the Dell in 2001, during that time we have so far played six seasons in the Premier League, five in the Championship and two in League One, thankfully this season meaning that by the end of it St Mary's will have been a Premier league ground for half of its life and will hopefully go on to increase that percentage.

In that time we have played in my reckoning including the 3 games at home so far 117 Premier League games, 115 Championship games & 46 League One fixtures, you can then add to that Cup games in four competitions, FA Cup, League Cup, UEFA Cup & Johnstones Paint Trophy.

Im not going to try and add up these cup games, but in addition to the 275 League games so far I would hazard a guess that the Stadium has hosted well over 300 competitive games plus a host of testimonials, friendlies & even a full International or two that probably pushes up the total figure to nearer 350 a figure that will be beaten by the time the season ends.

So what is everyone's favourite game or games for that matter ?

Standouts could include the 1-0 win over Charlton in November 2001 that finally saw our first Premier League win at the stadium, or perhaps a game from the Cup run of 2003 that saw Spurs slaughtered and then an emotional win at home to Wolves in the Quarter finals and the realisation we were in an FA Cup semi final.

Or it could be something from later in the Stadiums life, the win over Sheffield United on the final day that kept us up in the Championship in 2008 or other final day celebrations as we were promoted from firstly League One and then the Championship.

Or perhaps its a host of other great victories over the years, anyway lets hear from everyone about their favourite moments at the Stadium, post your comments down below so we can have a great record of some happy times.
