Your Personal Goal Of The Season
The official club award for goal of the season went to Tadanari Lee for his strike against Derby County, but what was everyones favourite and for what different reasons.
Goals of the season usually have some of the following ingredients in them, individual run, slick passing movement and blistering shot from distance, Tadanari Lee's effort certainly had the latter as it zoomed in from distance, but as great as it was, was it really the goal of the season when we way up a few other things, like importance of the goal or various other reasons.
Of course there will be those who still pick Tadanari Lee, but personally as great as the goal was, I have to say i enjoyed a lot of our other goals more for many reasons, Rickie Lambert's header at Fratton Park, David Connolly's winner at Barnsley, Lambert's winner at Leeds, or both his goals at Palace come to that, then there is Billy Sharp, his goals were rarely spectacular, but they were vital, I cant think i enjoyed a Saints goal more than either his 2nd against Pompey that for a brief minute looked like it had robbed them of a draw and then his deft touch for the first against Coventry that truly made us all realise we were on the road back to the Premier and their would be no slip ups.
So with no offence intended to Tadanari Lee who definately hit one of the most stunning of the season, what goal was your personal favourite and for what reasons, not necessarily footballing ones either, perhaps there was one on your birthday or it was your son/daughters first ever game, lets see a view views and opinions down below to remind us all about some of the seasons great moments, remember there is no right or wrong answer on this one, just pure enjoyment of some great goals.

Southampton V Stoke City The VerdictThis should have been a celebratory day for Saints fans, there should have been a feeling of positivity, but the truth is that the fight has been knocked out of the supporter base and we go into the play offs with confidence both on and off the pitch at a low ebb.
Saints V Stoke City A Look Back In Pictures 2In the second part of our pictorial look back at some of our games against Stoke City from the past, here we look back at more recent games, so most of you would have been at them.
Southampton V Stoke City The PreviewSaints go into the last two games of the season with their hopes of automatic promotion ended, even the hope of finishing 3rd is only a point away from being ended, but they do have something to play for and that is getting back the togetherness, character & fight Russell Martin has recently be moaned.
No Togetherness No Character No FightNot my words, but those of Southampton manager Russell Martin, who should ask himself the question why two months ago we had all those attributes and now we don't !
Southampton At Leicester The DebacleThe big question is how can a side that was so tight at the back, so clinical up front and who could pass the ball around almost with their eyes closed, become the disorganised rabble that they were at the Leicester City this evening.
