Blame me if I've jinxed it.

Paynter and Morrison definately out.

I think we could win this, although I'd be happy with a draw.

And Pericard out too according to BBC Swindon.

I am going for a 2-1 defeat.

3-0 defeat

Same :(

2-1 to them, but we'll take the lead.

Oh er, I'll take any type of draw, but I'd love Charlie to score the winner in a 1-0

We're unbeaten in the league playing in our away kit this season.

We'll get a draw...1-1

I feel positive about this. No idea why.

 I've seen us go for a few at Soton down the years....5 being a popular number. Don't think it would be a complete surprise if it's similar tonight.

4-1 Saints

simple 3-1 win for Saints.

Gutted I can't go. I think it's going to be a backs to the wall 1-1 draw after taking a surprise lead through a JP McGovern goal.

Something similar to Si. We're not going to have it easy tonight. But there is hope - Leeds lost 1-0 there at the weekend and apparantly didn't play well, so if we turn up and put a shift in we could get something from it. Having said all that, I'm going to say a 2-0 defeat.

Can't see past a town defeat. 2 0. Sorry

3-1 saints

I felt positive about MK DONGS and not so good about tonight. :(

On that basis a 3-2 win to town. :D

No more injuries would be a good outcome, expect a two or three goal defeat.

Going for 2-1 Town win :)

1-0. Solid Town defence, good covering midfield.

Charlie to score on the break from a Marshall cross  ;D

3-1 loss but I won't care, not expecting a result anyway!

Lucas out as well according to the BBC website. Now I am worried. This could get nasty.

Everything's against us so we'll probably win!

But then again... 4-1 defeat.

They are a good side, but not good enough to be up in the promtion mix, therfore they mustn't be feared. I believe they will expect to win but we will turn them over 2-1, Austin (2) back on song.

A lot of the bookies have missed how many injuries weve got. Coral have got Southampton at 4/5, which is good odds for a team that have won their last 7 home games. Im in 2 minds, feel a bit dirty betting on us to lose.

I think we will need to keep a clean sheet to get anything from the game.

But we have always got Austin, if he gets a chance he wont think about it, he'll just slot it into the net.

4-0 saints

See everyone's preparing themselves mentally for the pain ahead.

Can't see us scoring in a 4-5-1, or keeping them out. 4-0.

Only too happy to be quoted and abused by merry revellers afterwards though.

One other thing to consider is that we did thrash them at the County Ground earlier in the season with 1 up front.

But they do seem to have strengthened in a lot of areas.

I hate Pardew. Hes such a wanker.

Rovers showed if you can keep it tight and be a bit lucky first 20 mins, anything can happen. 2-2 draw.

And if it wasn't for their keeper, we would've won 5-0 !!!

Yes, I think we'll be seeing a very different (ie much stronger) Saints side tonight and a relatively weakened Town side from then. But, I wasn't optimistic about that game either. Getting a lift from my mate who's a Saints fan so if it's a heavy defeat for either side, I could be walking home. 2-2, just to save my legs

Even without the injuries, playing 4-5-1 tonight wouldn't be a bad idea and I'd prefer it to 4-4-2 with Ward up front. Though I'd be tempted to put Ward in the centre and have him push up a bit with Marshall on the left, so more of a 4-4-1-1. A lot happier with Austin as the sole striker, as the chances of him missing two good chances in a game are pretty remote - just need to give him a sniff and he'll score.

Its a far more important game for Southampton than us, they pretty much need to win every game they've got left to make the playoffs. Which could work in our favour - they'll be going all out for a win and if our defence can hold out we stand a good chance of sneaking it.

Nil nil ala Leyton orient.  Those of you going will not seee a classic but be happy with an away point.

would love a point but can't see it happening.

I don't have a good feeling about this one at all. However, I've said that many times and have been proven wrong more than once!

I would just like a goal to clebebrate!

4-1 Saints though....

A glorious night for football underlights, great stadium and pitch. We have good players who'll love it. As long as we start well we should be ok. Keeping the crowd a litlle quiet will be key.

I am a bit worred though about their obvious threat in the air and pace out wde.

Still this is what it's all about, have a good night out everyone :D

come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im off, see you down the coast..........

The pressure is off us tonight after Saturday's events and Ston's desperate need to win every game. This I'm hoping will work in our favour tonight.

If we can hold them out for 30 mins, & quieten their fans, then it's all to play for.

However if we have a poor start, then it could be unpleasant viewing and there'll be plenty of Town fans back at that park & ride by 9:15.

I'm optimistic that we can avoid the 2nd scenario though.

A34/M3/M27 here I come.

The title of this thread is all wrong.  'Saints vs Swindon' sounds like a Southampton fan has started it.  'Southampton vs Town' or something similar would be much more acceptable.

I think we'll grab a 1-1 draw with (shock) a late equaliser of our very own.

I'll take that. In fact, i would love it!  (or a win, obvioiusly)

I don't get all the negativity about this match. So we're playing Southampton, people forget we're 6th in the table.

I reckon we'll win 2-1.

3-1 Saints for me

If we are (we're) serious about promotion then we will (we'll) need at least two points from our next two games. I think the performance tonight matters more than the outcome of the game.

I think we do tend to do ourselves down.  Probably because we still cant believe that we're actually good.  Many years of mediocrity took care of that.  Draw or 2-1 win for us in a hard fought game is my bet.

And I cant go.  Im stuck working in Brizzole.  Arse!

Play shit and win or like world beaters and lose - Ummmmmm

WE'LL FOR FUCK SAKE, WE'LL!!!

You don't say "I reckon we are win 2-1", you say "I reckon we will win 2-1", you fucking imbecile.

Ime not happy about this

We'll win 10-0.

I didn't write that very well.

I'd rather we played good football, got a bit unlucky and drew the game rather than play shit football and get the lucky draw when we should have lost. It's all down to momentum, we need full confidence going into these next couple of months.

Clearly though three points over zero would be ace, no matter how they were gained. World beaters don't lose either. I think if we play at the top of our game we'll get a point as a minimum.

Sorry I made a mistake.

Twat.

You're be lucky not to get banned with grammar like that

*There'll be lucky...

Any team news yet?

No easton.

Ward playing. No idea if its a 442 or 451.

Just went on Thisis looks like Ward upfront with Austin and Marshall out wide left.

http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~1996231,00.html

Think it's 4-3-3  :eek:

According to our sponsorship contract, we're not allowed to start a game with anything but 4-4-2

Really? Marshall, Ward and Austin upfront then. Fair play to Wilson if that's the case.

I just assumed that it's Ward and Austin up front, with Marshy and JPM on the wings. And that seems just the ticket to me.

4-5-1 according to Sky.

Well it could be either of the 3 really. I guess the beauty is we can switch it at any time if we feel the need.

Think it's designed to be 3 up front but with Marshall and Ward filling in on the wings when need be.Makes sense but those 2 will need to put alot of hatd work in.

I wonder whether it's like the Newcastle United team i thrashed 9-1 in the Champions League semi on Fm earlier:

Charlie up front alone, with Marshall - AMR, Ward - AML, JPM - AMC and then Ferry and Douglas, MC. That'd be bitchin'.

4-3-2-1 (4-5-1) with Marshall and Ward on the wings. I'd take a point tonight.

Where is Amankwaah? He was fit enough for the bench on Saturday but not in the squad tonight. Strange...

2,000 Town fans apparently!

That's a great following for a Tuesday night.

 :eek:

Why the shock Luci?

Haha I quoted the wrong person as was meant to be the fact that I was suprised at the away support!

nice to see some yoofs on the bench, not that DW had much choice.

we can if we wear our away kit

Just got in -how we doing?

Fine thanks, Yourself?

0-0 bit of a quiet start

who is the other commentator?

Is it Alan Mac watching two of his old teams?

Why did this make me spit my drink out

Ward possibly injured.

Just forked out £35 for a year of STFC player so I can actually listen to these away matches. Ouch my wallet.  :cry:

is no local radios to southampton broadcasting this?

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!  >:( Fuck i hope you're fishing.

Could be Parkinsons?

Yes

Dandelion and Burdock?

That's what they said. He's still playing so probably OK then.

ahh of course

/facepalm

Hopefully it's just a European injury then.

I've got to leave the internet now to go home, so i shall have to try and listen to the radio - which i find maddeningly edge-of-the-seat.

The way I read that was that you actually live in the internet, like a little pixelated man!

They seem to be spending a lot of time round our area...

Austin just wide.

oooooh charlie nearly

Oh come on Charlie boy !! Close there.

Ooh - just as I say that.

Austin almost got one there. It's only a matter of time (we hope).

Accrington go 1 up. 1/6 on the accumulator so far.

In other news, come on Stevenage! Hope they win tonight and Luton.

Sounded close. 0-0 will do me fine though!

Super J's go 1 up. 2/6.

give me your login fella and i'll shout you a pint on saturday

Stevanage as well. 3/6

thank fuck offside

They thought they had scored........

Phew, that was close.

hahahaha offside  :D

Whew!!!

Wish Lucas was in goal  :( (yes I know he's injured)

you're a fucking star

Get my text Magic?

yes indeedeeeeeee do. nice one mate

Preston. 4/6

Stevenage and Luton winning. Ace.

Super Js = St Johnstone?

Not Cuthbert injured now...

Got it in one.

cuthbert injured by the sounds of it

Are they trying to bully us out of the game, cos we've got no bench?

This sounds bad.

Fuck. What's with all the injuries?

FFS another injury  ::)

bollox doesn't sound good

Uh-oh, not looking good for Cuthbert. According to the radio.

i wonder if it's his hamstring

cuthbert fucked

Really? Oh dear, think we are screwed if Cuthbert is badly injured!

If he's out for a while, that could be our season.  :cry:

LJF on then?

his knee

LJF is better at CB than on the left!

well it sounds like he's carrying on

Could be anything then. Hope its just bruising or something minor.

Cuthbert back on for now.

doesn't sound good. limping around

He's back on but struggling.

Could be something he can just run off?

he sounds fucked

nope, he's coming off.

Duh, duh, duh, Another one bites the dust.

Fuck sticks. We're not even going to have a squad left for our good looking April at this rate.

Did Danny run over a black cat or something? Geeze, our luck is out.

eh? sheehan to centre-back and lecs at left-back?

I thought Lesc could play CB? That seems a bit baffling.

We've gone over half a season with pretty much the same squad playing week in and week out, and now suddenly we are injury hit! Wtf................Wrap 'em in cotton wall!

Sheehan is abit lightweight for a centre back.

i might have misheard it, anyone else confirm it?

Must've swerved under a bloody ladder too.

Any one got a radio for me...pleaseee

I thought LJF was playing centre?

And broke a mirror...

You ask that every match thread fella.

Maybe DW wants LJF's attacking ability, I'm not even listening - I'm spouting shit, would prefer LJF in the middle though - just because he's bigger.

Radio link....pleaseeee :(

STFCplayer is free tonight.

There isn't one for league games, unless BBC Wilts forget to turn off the commentary. So check there, and if it ain't on then that's it. I'd imagine it's the same from the Southampton end too.

Just sign up for Player - it's free

only if you sign up

http://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10341~1991742,00.html

if you can't be arsed to sign up for a 14 day free trial, you shouldn't be given the right to breathe oxygen

Just got in, Cuthers hurt as well? Oh boy.

Cheers

off the line by us

Fuck that was close, well Dougie and Smith!

you can cancel before you get charged, i've done it before whilst abroad.

it's only £3.99 a month anyway

off the line by douglas

Yep and sounds like Sheehan at CB and Lesc at LB. Could be a long night!!

i wasn't complaining at the price just pointing out he had to sign up. 3.99 is good value though

3 mins added time

3 mins of injury time

phill smith earning his money

Another great save!!!

Smith's having a blinder

It's just a quick form to fill in.

Another great save Smithy.

Ooh, my 100th post  ::)

When will greer stop giving away stupid fucking free kicks

I really hate how Vic Morgan gets so excited over the opposition going close. I tend to lose concentration of the commentary, then hear him go mental expecting us to be having good opportunity only to hear the phrase "and Phil Smith saves well again". Annoying.

We're hanging on here.

Sheehan at centre-back? What on earth.... LJF's best position is centre-back according to Wilson. If we can nick a point here with this side I'll be delighted.

HT

true dat

0-0 at half time. Not bad. Smithys kept us in it.

LJF is in the middle.

we'll snatch this 1.0

whats happend to Stuart Cordwell/Caldwell? who is he

Prepare for a second half onslaught. I've already chewed my nails to the bone!

Who's Stuart Caldwell?

(Sorry, bit of a delay on my stream.)

I googled him to no avail !

I find him generally very average at commentating. Never know what is going on until well after the fact. There have been goals that I wasn't sure which team had scored! And Saturday we thought Austin had scored a header, only to find out form the TV highlights it wasn't.

Come back Ed, disinfect yourself of the Rovers stench first.

Caldwell is a CB at Celtic I think

1st ten minutes after the break will be crucial. All too often teams lack concentration after HT and after the pressure we're under, we could fold.

Keep it cool, and a 1-0 snatch and grab could be on the cards.

I'm getting texts from the ground, the common theme is "living dangerously" but could sneak it.

WTF does this have to do with us?

Yes if we can hang on under the unslaught I think Austin nicking it for us 1-0 is a possibility.

i am very confused. why are everyone's thoughts with stuart caldwell/cordwell? who is he?

Vic Morgan said ''all our thoughts are with Stuart Caldwell''.

Dunno. But I was getting mixed up with Gary Caldwell who left Celtic for Wigan in January.

I thought he was just a fan but I could be wrong.

here we go

Here we go..

Hard hats on chaps.

hands off cocks on socks

Has Austin not scored yet?

There is a Gary Caldwell and Steven Caldwell. No idea who Stuart Caldwell is. Gary Caldwell is now playing for Wigan and scored tonight.

2,046 !!!!!!!

2046 from Swindon.  Thats good.

Is anyone else finding this hard to listen to? They just always seem like they are going to score...come on Town, keep battlin!

Impressive.

That is why I hate listening to any team I support on the radio!

We seem to be having all the possession.

2046 must be our biggest away following this season, no? (oh except Fulham of course!)

It's much better than any of the other options from here.

I quite like the mystery of the TEF updates to be honest!

Pretty poor crowd for Southampton - 10,000 down on Saturday. I thought we were a bigger draw than Leeds  :D

corner to swindon

No way - you only get drivel, moaning and misreporting. Oh, like the radio then.

Could have scored. Austin again, good save.

Enouraging signs atm, speaks volumes for how hard the lads are fightin and that we're still very much in this with every chance...

Wouldn't it be marvellous for this to be the game where we scored a 91st minute winner?

yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Auuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuustin!

1-0

GET THE FUCK IN!

:) Austin sicckkko

Gooooooooooal

Austin :) :) :)

oooooooooooooooh

AUSTIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE KNEW IT WAS COMING!!!!!!!!!  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Ohhhhhh

Fucking



Yesssssss.

This calls for an alcoholic beverage.

yipppppppppy

Austin is the kiddy.

oooh ace the 1st thing I read was Auuuuustin 1-0

neat 8)

Sounded like he took it as if he'd been playing the game forever!!!

Now for the onslaught then!

What the fucks happening...

On BBC as follows...

Correction - 52:57
 Charlie Austin takes a shot. Save by Phil Smith.
53:30
 Corner taken by Alan Sheehan, free kick awarded for a foul by Lescinel Jean-Francois on Jose Fonte. Kelvin Davis takes the free kick.
52:57
Charlie Austin takes a shot. Save made by Phil Smith.

Great stuff.

Footballing lesson for Lambert.  :D

Get the fuck in!

i posted an extract from team talk a few games ago where kevin amankwah was in goal :-)

Lordy dordy! Just popped to the BBC site for the predictive table and noticed we were one up!!

Too bloody early though! Wish we'd scored with no time for them to come back at us.

If you won't sign into Player, no-one's going to help you any more!

Have one for me as im stuck at work............. :beers:

Yeah last season it was Cox outshining him, now it's Austin.  :D

yeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssss get the fuck in there

(delayed reaction as i was eating my tea)

That is PA feed. Notice the way that all opinion is sucked out? Half the corrections are to remove anything that might be opinion, intereptation or bias.

corner to us (I think) god this commentary is shite

Red frog....

Do you know how difficult to get an overseas Visa payment to subscribe...
Serious...its a fucking pain in the ass.
Been trying for weeks. :(
 

That's overexcitement for you. You should be drinking it.

Haha, I see now. They corrected it to show Phil Smith didn't "make" the save, he just plain "saved" it. Silly BBC.

I wanna marry you Charliiiiieeeee :eek:

I do it every year. Serious.

You should change your username to Charliiiiieeeee'sfuturewife.

Does Papa Waigo practice black magic?? I remember Papa Shango from the WWF.

Lee Barnard produces a volleyed left-footed shot from 18 yards. Phil Smith makes a brilliant save. :D

I used to hate Leigh Barnard.

It's all us !

Is it just me or are these matchday threads becoming busier?

Loving this.  But nervous now.  I really hope we've learned our lesson after all of those late equalisers a few months ago.

So....I thought that we were under the cosh? Are we not then? Are we dominating?

Thi is so hard, sitting up here in the highlands, flicking from BBC to TEF and back again.....COYRs

I'm staying away from away games. I jinx them.

Come on Town..... 8)

We've bossed this half. S'ton only hitting us on occasional breaks. They're shuffling their team around to break us down.

Southampton have used up all of their subs. They're pressuring us but we've held firm so far and look dangerous on the break.

Is the Highlands looking over wantage...??? :)

something like that.....just a bit colder and further away

crossbar hit from saints

Lambert hits the bar

Lambert hits the bar

It's a cracking game!

I reckon we will win this..

There's an echo in here

West Ilsley then... :)

Sounds like a mint game.

What's the score?

I don't think I can stomach putting the radio on......

My dad's been to just two games this season.  Bristol Rovers at home and Gillingham away.  I've banned him from attending any more.

There's an echo in here

I have eaten 3 packs of chewing gum !

ace. 1-0. Don't think I can hold the suspense for the rest of the game. I'll be back later.

:D

I've smoked 14 cigarettes since 7.45.

Wish I could put the radio on.... :(

You are not supposed to eat it - The hint as to what to do with it is in the name!

did u take the paper off first ralphy?

I've gone through a whole packet of Salt and Vinegar Kettle Chips.

Some people across the block from me are having a mass sing along to Summer of 69. Ho hum.

I picked the wrong day to stop smoking

I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue.

My theme tune !!

Ironically, they now seem to be singing No More Heroes. I think they're going through the entire Tef playlist.

Tidy 1-0 away win will do. I'm off to smoke a fag. How long left? 10mins?

Dougie is having a good game by the sounds of it.

Smith has to be man of the match.

Well that's fucking jinxed it.

yep 10 mins to go plus 23 mins added time

I can't go for  afag just yet.

10 mins left. Shit this is killing me.

Looks like Smith has chosen today to be in form

Inter Milan have just gone one up at Chelsea.  Hahahahahaha.

Drogba sent off as well.

So proud of the boys!! Keep it up!! Please hang on..

Marshall's knackered. Ritchie on.

It's a disgrace! It's a fucking disgrace! :D

Ritchie on

ritchie on marshall off

Up to 4th if we can hold on.  That's 8 points clear of 'Uddersfield.  Is that enough?

At 21, I feel too old for this shit. Physically sick!

God knows what i'd be like in a play-off final.

7 mins left

Hope there'll be no more criticism of Marshall for a day or two

This would be a fantastic result for the whole season...

commentators talking shit  ::)

5 mins to go plus stoppage

C'mon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've come in late, but for some reason this game seems much more tense than it has the right to be. I'm going to bail out and find the result later.

Have I done some internal maths without thinking about it or something. Will a win do us stupidly good?

(answer later. I really am going for a fag)

So what's new...

Lucky you were only 4 for the last one...95 minutes of pure hell followed by unrestrained joy.

Ferry departs the dock.

Ferry straight red?

shit ferry sent off

Ferry sent off !!

Oh you dick.

Down to 10 men  :doh:

Second yellow I think.

Think i might wet myself  :cry:

Ferry sent off

Ferry off. Now we're in trouble.

Timlin coming on :D

Is that a 3 match ban?

Yep booked a few mins earlier.

Timlin on, shiiiiiiitttt

Ferry you twat

oh dear

Yeerrrr.

Just one match banned then?

God, we are going to struggle to field a side soon!!

That's the lead gone then, We always concede when that twat comes on!!!

One match....cannot play against Naaarwich.

Fuck...we won't have any players for the Norwich game.... :(

Yay.

Brilliant.

I'm turning it off. They're bound to score.

Unless we get another one for existing again.

Timlin was on for Ward btw. COME ON LADS.

Time to stand up and be counted, lads.

Swindon expects.

I've just found my boots for the Norwich game!

ferry you turd, as if we dont have enought problems with injuries.

Better ready the youth team for the Norwich game  :(

2 yellows in 3 minutes, crazy!

How long's left?

final minute

We're ok for central midfield cover. He was probably just desperately defending knowing how much this result means for the team.

Too long...

last minute. Fuck

18 secs

too long :(

HA HA HA HA Chelsea OUT!

5 mins stoppage time wtf

5 minutes my fucking life.

5 mins stoppage time

Why isn't Easton involved today?

5 minutes stoppage???

5 mins -bollocks

5 mins - where did that come from?

Douglas gets a yellow, is he up to 5 or past that?

i'm not enjoying this new found "minimum 4 mins of additional time" rule...

Oh i have wet myself  :-[

i cant take this, at this rate i'll feel like im turning 35 next week.

The 4th Official !!!!

3 mins to go.

Isn't that only up to a certain point in the season? Doesn't it then become 8 or ten or something?

God this is agony.

Assuming it's backs to the wall stuff?

Tick


tock

Massive win - 6 points off Southampton this season
Brilliant

Get the fuck in you bunch of depressives :D

awsome stuff!!!

Brilliant result!! Well played Swindon.

Absolutely ace....just fantastic

my refresh is sooooo slow. Must be you cunts hitting F5.

Happy fucking days!

Another alcoholic beverage is called for.

(Is it me or is the TEF reeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallly slow?)

Someone have the table? Has that changed things?

Well done lads. Fucking marvellous

And two clean sheets as well.

Holy fuck.

So proud to be a Swindon Town fan tonight, and this season in general.

Absolutely immense result.

eieieio!

get the fuck in there!!!!

up to 4th

Get the fuck in. Out of crisis comes opportunity. And those that came in to the team took it. What a result!! Up to 4th and finally on par with Charlton. Un-fucking-believable.

Only slight downer, 2 more players down for Saturday.

Woo-fucking-hoo!

Never in doubt !!!!!!!

brilliant. best result of the season!!!

1   Norwich       36   39   78
2   Leeds United 36   32   71
3   Charlton      36   19   66

5   Millwall        36   21   65
6   Colchester   35   16   63
7   Huddersfield 36   16   58

2,046 very happy travellers.  Bet the atmosphere there is kicking.

So on the basis that Pardew thought that Swindon would consider getting a point a victory, do we get 6 points for this :D

FUCKING HELL YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! ARRRGH!!!!  :D :D :D :D :D

Town win, up to 4th place AND I win £88 on my Inter/Villa/Cardiff treble!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And we still are...

"Oooh, if Swindon get a draw they will celebrate like it's a win"

Hmmmmmm....we won. So how are going to celebrate now??

FUCK OFF PARDEW!!!!

well fucking played

That is a fantastic result for us.

Serious blow to their play off hopes.  We've done ourselves a proper favour with that result.

Jesus.  2 hard fought away 1 nils.  Never thought that would happen.  Bring on the fucking budgies.

Some pressure off the Norwich game after that result. Let's get um fit for the easier run of games.

Fantastic result chaps....Only depressing thing is how many players are injured or suspended argggggggggh.

Great result, after a great result on Saturday. Southampton put in their box and we're looking to catch Leeds.

My thought's exactly. Stick your point up your arse Pardew you fucking ex-Reading twat.

One better than me then. What a fucking result, i couldn't watch,read, listen or breathe after 70 mins, get in.

I think I make that 6 points off of Southampton this season. Cheers Alan :D

right back in the mix for the autos!!

Pardew is the only manager I hate more than Phil Brown. This win is even sweeter for this very reason. What a cunt.

Bring it on!!!!

I love it when we get a result against the so called "bigger" clubs, especially when they come out with comments like "a draw is as good as a win for them" as these smack of such arrogance.  

With the amount of injuries we have, Ferry missing, and Norwich being on form at the moment, I think that we will do well to get a draw on Saturday, but for tonight anyway I'm all smiles!

Great result!!  Just need to find a team for the Norwich game

Can someone summarise Wilson's comments please.

Oh shite.  Swindon...you're such a prick tease.  You keep tantalising me with distant and, frankly, improbable hopes that we might make the top 2.  Just when I thought it was safe to settle in and start looking forward to the play offs, you creep up to within 5 points of Leeds with 10 to play.  Damn you.

And Leeds have Millwall to play on Monday.

Looking forward to what those saints bell ends on the football forum mongfest say.

Safe.

We sounded class, even Mark "second string" Marshall didn't sound out of place and Austin sounded like he had rete good go on his own up top - Sheehan must be totting up these bookings as well as Douglas...

Lets force results against Norwich and Leeds, and catch the dirty northerners. Don't want to put a downer on tonights performance but we're going to regret dropping points against Charlton.

As with other WACCOE threads, but Leeds truly are a set of deluded morons: http://www.waccoe.com/index.php?showtopic=177251&st=0

Cracking result, shame about Cuthbert but 1-0 away midweek at St. Marys is an awesome result.

We're only 5 points behind Leeds....fucking hell.

Doesn't matter who we have, the squad lads will come in and frighten the fuck out of them, we'll win that.

http://www.waccoe.com/index.php?showtopic=177251&st=0

Was just going to post that.

I think we needed a sticky'd "Let's all laugh at WACCOE" thread.

I do hope so

Just woke up, what happened to Cuthbert?

'I hate this fuckin league and the shit tin-pot clubs that infest it. The sooner we can escape the better.'

They are indeed retards.

HUZZZAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! what a win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this comment from 2006 or 2010?

What about this..."Fuckin Southampton. Played like supermen on Saturday to easily beat us yet tonight they are losing to a Swindon side missing 5 regulars. Bastards.

I hate this fuckin league and the shit tin-pot clubs that infest it. The sooner we can escape the better. "

What a bunch of pricks ::)

Wilson:

"Monster result"
"Lecsi fantastic"
"Marshall fantastic"

Cuthbert has medial ligament strain :(

"Bet you'd struggle to find many teams that beat us and continue to win."

Coooeeeee, over here.....

Can someone with a WACCOE account just point the deluded morons in the direction of this forum. Thanks.

You have to admire the spirit we seem to be having to close these games out when under real pressure. Maybe it's something we have worked on? We know it was probably one of our weakest points earlier on in the season. Can't wait for Norwich now. I'm buzzing. We do have a huge injury/suspension list now though eek.

Fucking tidy up we go....

.
Thankfully it sounds like lesh is a much better centre back than a lb!     

Looks like the servers crashed...  I'm getting calls from lads down there, it's like they've had several kilos of drugs, mental..

great result and my mate would appear to agree with wilson text me to say lescinel was immense when he came on

How about this one?
"Bet you'd struggle to find many teams that beat us and continue to win" :D

Wilson on: Delighted with win, Cuthbert's injury is probably a medial ligament strain, a few weeks to a month. Lecs did well, CB is his best position really, will be looking to make that his own. Phil Smith was fantastic, Austin too. Proud of the performance, kept the ball well, Marshall did well too, as did everyone. Ferry played well, Second yellow card was deserved but unfortunate, just tiredness, 6 points from Soton and Brighton is fantastic. Bodin on the bench, he is in his plans now which is testament to his performances, as well as the injuries, will get on with it. Doesn't care what the rest of the league thinks, we just need to keep winning and see how it ends up.

Me too. I'm waiting for them to come on. Doubt they'll have the balls to face up to admitting we're a better team though.

There's a lot of selective quoting on here though, most are pretty fair and pragmatic as far as we are concerned.

Only thing i got from a conversation, was JFL "different gravy".

Just nabbed a direct quotes from Wilson bit random and Nemo gives you a better idea of the whole thing but..

'Immense. That was a monster, monster result for us. We worked damned hard for it. There are players out there who have run themselves into the ground.

Lesci- Fantastic. Marshall - fantastic.

Cuthbert - could be out for quite a few weeks - suspected Medial ligament strain.

We didn't really let them take the ball cheaply off us.

He's put a great shift in (Marshall). They've all done that today.

Ferry - that was just unfortunate. A bit of tiredness.

I think everybody started doubting us. Just keep believing. It won't be easy but there is is still much hard work to do.

Within the club we know we've got enough (for Norwich).

Could be another 14k on the cards saturday.

The whole squad will be buzzing after that result, whoever plays i'm confident we can get a result against Norwich.

Latest WACCOE quote :

swindon aren't a threat, only team a threat to us are millwall and we'll put that to bed on Monday!!

Gutted that I will be missing Norwich game - first of the season

My Southampton supporting cousin has just contacted me to say that the Swindon performance tonight was the best football he has seen at St Mary's all season.

He now owes me 2 pints next time we meet.

4th place and needing the fringe players to keep on keeping on.

Happy days

Marvellous, thanks chaps.  Keep it going.

Or should I say...



FUCKING YES, YOU BEAUTIES!

Don't bother with waccoe. It's full of fans who think Leeds should still be in the Champions League.

352 reading the Swindon thread a moment ago. They see us as a threat, they're just too up their own arses to admit it.

One thing we haven't mentioned tonight due to the excitement is that Stevenage won, and extended their lead at the top of the Conference.

Though it does support their point that after we play S'ton, we're all looking to see what they have to say.

Still, it's always good sport.  :)

And Chelsea lost, not relevant to most, but i'm going to work in a town shirt tomorrow to wind the fuckers up.

Wouldn't it just be so funny if Leeds had to spend another season in League 1  :soapy tit wank:

True. They are a huge club at this level, everyone knows that. But some of them appear to think they shouldn't be here, which could well cost them promotion.

Comments like 'tinpot clubs' referring to us, won't win them games.

Relevant to me for financial reasons. Fucking Drogba throwing his toys out the pram again.  :D

what did i tell ya

Great evening, really enjoyed that. Still trying to get out of Southampton through

Cheers Samdy

That was quality.

What pleased me most was the fringe players stepping up.

I'm a Phil Smith fan but I don't think he's as good as Lucas. Tonight he was every bit as good as Lucas. Caught most things and those he didn't catch he punched well enough. A lot more communication with the defence.

When Cuthbert went off I was worried as he's been nothing short of excellent for us BUT step up LJF, tonight he was a fucking rock. He won every header and made every tackle. Impressed with him and pleased for him.

Marshall had a decent game, chased everything and never gave up despite being bullied and literally pushed around by Wayne Thomas. Some good runs and crosses to.

The usual suspects were quality to. Greer, JPM, Douglas, Ferry and Ward.

Darby looked solid at right back.

Austin did well, was clearly fucked towards the end but still at least tried to chase everything. Fucking great finisher.

He is the best finisher I have ever seen.

Pardew did the team talk for us. Fucking cock. Ex Reading cunt.

What formation did we play? 4-4-2 or 4-5-1 or something else?

Cheers Nemo

Only seen JFl at cb once, at peterboro last season, he did look pretty good then, glad it wasn't a one off.

What an amazing result, outstanding even. Bang on track now, in fact back in the automatic race... Leeds away is looking massive again.

12 heroes tonight(well done Lecs when you came on).We battled to play our football and caused
them problems in the 2nd half with our passing and movement.Above all we kept our shape.

Although the experienced players played very well,i just want to mention Charlie,Ferry and Wardy
who i thought were immense tonight.They really looked as if they enjoyed playing at St Mary's and
proved a point to everyone with their quality.Wardy was great with his pace and movement,Charlie
i knew you'd score when you pushed the ball past Davis! Ferry covered every blade,but just miss
controlled the ball and in stretching caught their player.We knew the ref was going to go to his
pocket for a 2nd yellow.Even so,you can be proud of your performace tonight Simon.

I feared that Cuthbert had picked up a ligament injury.Couldn't believe the Saints fans reactions to
what was obviously a serious injury.

Our fans were immense in their support,putting the Saints fans to shame,they just don't get behind
their side for 90 minutes.Smithy deserved a bit of luck with them hitting the woodwork, as his handling was very good tonight.

Danny will now need to beg,steal and borrow some loan players.

Red Army!

Ben trying to post this for about an hour. Keep gwetting error messages. Knowing my Blackberry I've probably posted it 5 times already

I'm almost crying after that Mr mayes.

What a cunt! (only twice) ;)

How many loan players are we allowed to play at once? Might become a bit of a problem here.

Ward, Ferry, Darby, Sheehan are all on loan, if the maximum is five in the squad we can only add one more to that, and that's presuming Ritchie (also on loan) drops out of the squad entirely.

I don't think the loan system can help us all that much really.

My nil nil prediction was spot on.  As was my prediction of a Leyton Orient type performance. 

Really chuffed with the result and I will not doubt our resolve again this season.

 :-[

Pardew's post-match analysis: http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1996418,00.html (http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~1996418,00.html)

It is 5, and although we have injuries/suspensions i say go with the squad, maybe a short term striker/defender a la Warhurst would do us....

Jesus Mary. Came in ten minutes ago expecting us to have been done 3 or 4. This has made my day, and made me even more pissed off that i didn't fucking drive down

Just got in, still bouncing, won't be able to talk in the morning, voice going already. Not read the rest of this but no doubt everyone's already said everything that needs saying so just this - How fucking great are we?

Think Warhurst may be a bit past it myself.

The only decent centre back / centre forward i can think of is virgo...

Dion Dublin thanks you for your concern.

Could have driven me down as well Dave.

we're that good we could stick john Virgo there ;)

Don't often swear but that is a fuckin' superb result. Get in Charlie

Poole back on top of the Wessex League

It don't get much better

So is that alleged friendly on? I've cunningly booked 2 weeks in devon start of August just in case ( yes i do know poole is'nt in Devon, before any funny sod points that out)

what a fucking great result.
shame i had to work so couldn't go.

Got no dates afaik as yet sutton, but will make some enquiries. I'd like to know myself as there is no way I'm going to miss that one

Just got back.......

FUCKING AMAZING NIGHT. Great performance, great support, hats off to Smith lescinel and greer, played blinders. DV summed it up pretty well.

SO SO PROUD TO BE A SWINDON FAN.WE ARE GOING UP

a win at leeds and it's down to two. IMMENSE!

That should make the boo boys at the rovers game hold thier heads in shame,it was like the good old days.BRILLIANT

Spot on. Brilliant.

Fucking ace performance and a well deserved result tonight.

Cant say I expected that in all my weirdest dreams, but I'm well fucking happy to be a town fan tonight;-)

The boo boys at the rovers game had a point.

Tonight we were awesome. southampton fans were pathetic and pardew is a total and utter cunt.

Great finish from Austin.

they could be behind us before we even get to Elland Road (in theory, though I doubt that will be the case).

When you look at their next 2 games though there is a good chance that it could happen.

They really do fucking fancy themselves don't they

wankers, have left a comment.

nice comment. I left one too.

Btw comments take a while to show up. I've done 2 now. Oh well they'll get the message. :D

Absolutely fucking marvellous result ! Couldn't praise the Town enough. I'll go to bed with a big fuck off grin on my face now thinking how we're putting the shits up the likes of Dirty Leeds, Southampton and hopefully Narrge on saturday !.......oh and the thought of the scum fans not liking this one bit (well done to Stevenage too) :smugfu:

Got back about 45 mins ago, still fucking buzzing. First half we got dicked, no two ways about it, but defensively we were superb, throwing ourselves in the way of everything, with Smithy pulling off a couple of worldies as well.

Second half, the two wide boys pushed on to their full-backs and stopped them bombing on. When we won the ball, we looked lethal just dropping it behind their full backs and the front three were very fluid and dangerous.

Greer and JFL were fucking immense, as was Smith, who caught everything. Austin couldn't walk by the end he was that shattered, Marshy and Ward were dangerous on the break and worked hard defensively, but my mom was JD. Absolutely fucking incredible performance. Stopped them play so many times, and when he got his foot on the ball, he slowed us down, made sure we kept the ball and looked to create.

Our fans were quality, especially last 10 obviously. There was about 20 mins between about the 60th and 80th where the whole ground was quiet with nerves and tension and what not but other than a great atmosphere. There fans were shit and fucking scummy, booing cuthbert when he was down injured even the second time when it was clear he was seriously hurt.

All in all, a fucking incredible night, i'll be buzzing off this for days!

Tosser, this bloke needs bombarding! TEF Pressure Group?

I rock  :D

What a brilliant away trip. Fantastic support, I loved every minute.

YOUUUUUUU REDDDDDDSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just got back from game after winning £400 notes at casini :_)

First half they should have been in front, but didnt take chances.

Second half we were superior.

Draw would have been fair result, but happy with win.

Saints fans are shit,  worse then us at the county ground

WOW! What a night. Got back at about 1am and was still buzzing, as I am now!

People have summed the game up well, so all I'm going to add is that every player gave everything they had tonight. Southampton chucked everything at us in the first half and then again towards the end. To hold on with 10 men was fantastic.

Looks like we'll be putting a mixture of reserves and youths out on Saturday the way things are going. It'll be a very tough game and I can see us suffering from fatigue after a very tough game tonight. But if there's a good crowd and everybody gets behind the lads then anything's possible. I thought there was no chance of a win tonight and the lads proved me wrong.

As for the Leeds thread, I think I've given up caring what they think. Let's just wait and see what the league table looks like in May.

Haha that's fucking ridiculous. I'll be keeping tabs on the comments

I'm quite happy with that part of my earlier post - we held on when we had to then grew into the game very frikkin nicely.
Been back in West-Oxon for a good while now but I've been reading forums, local paper sites etc. Seems like half the Stains fans are talking shit about us being tinpot with no fans & the other half being big enough to say how impressed they were with us. Spoke to a couple of them after the game & they were impressed with our performance, said we looked like a classy team on the ball, defended & attacked well & were surprised at our offensive attitude.
They pinned us for much of the first half & I was thinking we were gonna be fucked after an hour if it stayed like that. But it was chalk & cheese because 2nd half we gained the upper hand by competing more aggressively, winning more headers/2nd balls etc then calmly popping the ball about. It quickly developed into sharp attacking play using the width of the pitch on both flanks, and then a little slipped ball through the middle and Austin did what he does to reward our excellent 2nd half play. Can't wait to see it again because it was right in front of us and it just went fucking berserk. From when you just knew Austin was gonna get to the ball before the keeper, then when he flicked it past him & ran round his other side, then when you were just waiting for him to roll it into the empty net, then the celebrations at the corner flag - just a magic, fantastic moment. Won't forget that in a hurry.
Smith had a real presence about him, commanding & very safe hands, GG & Lecs were giants, Darby grew & I'm sure will continue to, JD was immense, putting tackle after tackle in & calmly moving the ball around, Ferry caused havoc in the 2nd half, they couldn't pick him up & he started attack after attack, JPM ran his bollocks off, MM & Wardy both attacked well down the flanks & worked hard, & Austin looked like he'd been playing the lone striker role for years - this boy is the absolute real-deal/dog's bollocks.
Great fun abusing the Stains fans on the streets in our convoy of double-deckers en route back to the park & ride  :moon: :smugfu: :banana: :dance:

"Swindon got to the second ball 9 times out of 10, the hardest working team i've seen all season."

From another forum. That sentence makes me so happy. We've had some praise for our nice play at times, but there's nothing like reading that the lads worked their bollocks off and gave their all for the club. Best group of players for a long time.

It shows the sad state of lower league football when our players can step up against the 'big teams' for a couple of games, but can't manage to do the same against the local rivals.

I would have swapped last nights win and the leeds home win for 6 points off rovers.

Ignore me. I'm in a bad mood this morning. Drank too much. Had to get up.

Bad combo.

Mid table also rans?

HOW.....FUCKING.....THICK!!!!!

Er that comment isn't referring to us it's saying we made saints look like mid tables also rans last night. Woosh?

That is funny. As I just pointed out, since they raised their game to win their cup final against Man U how many back to back games have they won?

whoops

This has made me quite a bit angry actually, I wish to cause him severe physical and emotional torment.

As arrogant as that tosser is, I'm not sure it helps the whole tin pot thing to mass comment some moron on blogspot.

soapy tit wank and you commented it on the blog too.

And so opposition fans don't exchange insults and banter in the higher leagues?

My take on last nights game:

We made them look shit!

I'm gonna put this up on FF.

What a prick.

What a night!!!

Even the Old man and Brother turned up for this one!!

Kicked my Diet coke all over the bloke in front when Austin danced around the keeper...

You Redzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

We might have only 10 pros for our final game at Millwall!

10 each eh? Should be fine there are hundreds around new cross. Anyone now how many we took last night?

2,046

great night great win :D

What an idiot.  I don't normally rise to this kind of rubbish, but have caved in.  Comment added.

Southampton tried to cheat as well according to our OS.

'The home side then upped the pace, bringing on strikers Papa Waigo and David Connolly and moving to a 4-4-3 formation.

were you the 905 comment? If so good work!

I just want to tell him to kark it

That's me.  (And thank you!)

tbh, I didn't find myself enraged by the "Leeds effect" blog post, I felt sorry for them. They're clearly shitting bricks at the prospect of their season unravelling yet again and have started to concoct DaVinci Code style theories to comfort themselves with, because they can't quite believe their massive club is actually playing at the level it now deserves to be at. Fuck em, I don't care about what Leeds do or think or anyone else come to that - it's all about us and what we do. If we keep on as we are, we'll rightfully have earned our place in the play-offs and may even sneak into one of the top two spots that other "bigger" clubs think is theirs by right, but let's focus on our own performances. Leave the looking over their shoulders and ever more fantastic excuses to the tinpot clubs.

Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes.

I think tonight was a bit like our 1-0 win at West Ham in the early 90's. Just that feeling that things are going to go your way.

When Austin went one way then the other round their keeper and the resulting mayhem is one of those amazing moments that will live with you forever. Cant wait to see it on TV. Woke up absolutely trashed this morning.

The whole league FEARS us. They fear Charlie Austin because he is absolutely deadly. You give him and inch and he will take a mile. So proud of the lads. As Dave said, the lads who came in proved themselves tonight, they came in and put in a great shift for the team, so proud of them.

Only downside was the injury to super Scotty Cuthbert. Apart from that it was perfect.

Charlie Austin - Your new number ONE

Well yesterday was my first time I have seen the Town this year and was very impressed.

Smith - Outstanding, some great saves second half and only minus points were some slightly didgy punching in the 1st half, otherwise did everything he had to do....awesome and a contender for MOM 9/10.

Darby - Did well against their wide man who rarely got past him and he matched for pace most of the game, good defending but not so good when he crossed the half way line, could go on to be a star at Liverpool -7/10.

Sheehan - Steady and did everything he had to, didn't get forward as much as he can and didnt get any chances for a cracking free kick, solid 7/10.

Cuthbert - Looked totally solid and had Barnard in his pocket all the time he was on the pitch, why the fuck Saints fans booed him when he was obviously very badly hurt is beyond me, deserved his standing ovation as he left the field 7/10.

Greer - Awesome and a born leader, Lambert hardly had a kick in the box and only had the one chance from outside the box when he hit the bar, fantastic 8/10.

Douglas - The man is a legend and ran the midfield from very deep was my MOM did everything perfectly steady as a rock, good advantage from the ref on the foul on him in the centre circle that led to our goal 10/10.

Ferry - Ran around and tackled well, made some great through balls, generally was well up for it, deserved his second booking but didn't deserve the first IMO, would have scored an 8/10 if he hadn't been sent off 7/10.

McGovern - mmmm not his best game, 1st half was a passenger and second he got stuck in more and had a few good through balls and wild tackles! probably just about earned a 7/10.

Marshall - Looked eager and handy with the ball at his feet, some poor crossing and some woeful tackling on him from the Saints fullback, who bundled him into touch at every opportunity 6.5/10.

Ward - This guy is awesome, great when running at players and turning them inside out, good feet and quick with a good finish, shame he didn't shoot a little more when he could have, looks to be a star in the making 8/10.

Austin - 1st time I have seen him in the flesh, hes got great feet and a good footballing brain, lacking some fitness (he was dead on his feet for the last 20 mins) took on and beat his marker so many times, took his goal like a seasoned professional, the way he rounded the keeper was brilliant, was surprised he wasnt taken off late on instead of Ward as Ward still had energy but Charlie was spent 9/10.

LFJ - Came on for Cuthbert and was fantastic, did everything needed, great tackles, great heading, great blocking, ran Douglas close for MOM 9/10.

Ritchie - Ran around a lot, got down the line a couple of times but not enough time to make a difference 6/10.

Timlin - I personally thought that we could have done with Eastons energy but I am not the manager....hardly kicked the ball when he came on...but wasnt on long anyway 6/10.

Overall...totally chuffed to be a Swindon fan last night, a good turnout and some great backing by the Town fans who totally outsang a poor home support, pathetic home support, leaving with 5 minutes left...fucking rubbish, they should be ashamed of themselves.

Still in awe of Austin's coolness in taking his goal...fantastic night.

Can i just say last night was such a fucking buzz, Im 38 years old, i remember macari ardiles hoddle era, there is a determination and feel about our current squad that i havent felt since those days. Even the andy king play off team didnt have this buzz.

I am fucking loving this season. bring on the turkey fuckers.

I thought McGovern was better than a 7, he ran all night long and broke up their play fantastically, he just didn't link up on the wings as well as he normally does, but had some nice plays with Marshall and and Austin and was a big part of our energy at the start of the second half.

We did say he was quite good :D ;)

One of the best moments last night, was when those Saints fans in the main stand,who had been
giving it the big one all night,walked out early!

We all sang and waved at them like there's no tomorrow.  ;D

Great acoustics at St Mary's.

i still don't rate him... he scores goals but what else does he bring to the team?

Oh my lord I'm cream crackered.

Just how good will Austin be after a full pre season training at professional levels?

Thought that was a classic away team performance.  Soaked up what they had to offer, had a period where they ran out of ideas and we looked like a hot knife going through butter, got the goal then parked a bus in front of the goal called Jean-Francois.  I love him, he's clearly not all there, but he's fun to watch, even if it sometimes is for the wrong reasons.  He was solid as a rock last night.

Either I was too drunk or there seemed a distinct lack of toilet facilities in our section of the ground, in fact I was dissapointed as it seemed rather lacking full stop for something that should be a top of the range modern stadium.

I ended up laid out on my back when Austin hit the back of the net, cracking times.  Another performance like that against Norwich and the Leeds game becomes very interesting.

Never gives the opposition defence an easy time,chases everything down,good movement
accross the back 4,team player and always makes himself available.

He is the business.

When Austin came to us I thought he looked a bit Chalkie White, but as games have gone on he's much better than that.  He's really improved with the ball outside of the box and he's deadly as fuck inside it.

i think there was a hint of irony in mr youths post :)

I know,but i couldn't resist the opportunity  ;)

Just drawn a Star of David and put it on my Southampton-supporting mate's desk. So he can find out what 6 points looks like :D

(and yes, I AM that childish)

Some comments from Saints fans -

Fair play to Swindon.. they've done the double over us this season, and seem to be much better organised than most.

Fair play to Swindon, they did their homework and totally nullified us tonight, easily the best team to come to SMS this season. We created plenty of half chances and Lambert hit the bar from long range but we never really looked like scoring. Swindon were very well organised and marked Puncheon out of the game, leaving Lambert and Barnard to feed off scraps. Very frustrating but the run of wins had to come to an end at some point. Hey ho there's always next season.

I cant add anything further to what Wayne said. No complaints from me, the best team won tonight

Never before have 14 players put their bodies on the line as they did last night.All players outstanding-no passengers.What an atmosphere!Nice ground-shit fans!

Wouldn't get that sort of effort from McNamee would you adje?

Totally agree. I was thinking this morning that I've never seen a Town side who wanted to win as much as those lads did last night. Just look at their reaction to the goal and at the final whistle and it tells you all you need to know.

A particular mention to JPM, who at one point made a challenge, chased the loose ball down, got crashed into by a Saints player, got up and then threw himself in the way of a clearance.

Reminds me of a well known Chruchill quote

From the insurance ads ?

Oh yes.

Seems that there was some trouble before the match.....

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/5065565.Fans_arrested_before_Saints_match/#

I thought you weren't going to talk about McNamee any more Dave :naughty:

It is livening up a bit on that blog now. Swindon aren't the only set of fans to react.

Last night was one of the best away games with Town i have ever been to. I'm still buzzing!

We were absolutley amazing, every single one off them gave everythinhg for the team, we've missed commintment like that for years. Our fans were brilliant, Saints were shit (nice ground tho')

Gutted about Cuthbert, and those fuckwit saints fans who layed into Scotty when he was clearly seriously injured. Lecs did brilliantly when he came on, best game he has played for us ever. I am still in awe at how well Austin finishes, his goal last night was sensational.

What a fucking game, what a fucking result, so proud to be a town fan!

I wasn't at Peterborough a year or so ago but I've heard and read a lot of comments praising Lecs for his performance at centre back that day. I did however see his performance last night, and taking all this into account I now feel less gutted about Cuthburt's injury. Don't get me wrong, I'm gutted for Scotty as he's been consistently superb for us, but at least we don't have to panic. I feel that Lecs will even provide us with added pace & aerial power.

Anyone who has a keen eye similar to mine will have noticed that last night's ref has a thalidomide disability in one arm (or as we used to say at school, "He is a flid."). It would have been good if he'd tried to grab his red card with this arm then we might have still had Ferry available for Saturday (I'm sure he has the personality to join in with piss-taking).

I thought initially he reminded me of Sheringham, then Dave said Robbie Fowler, which seemed on the money. With his new nasty streak and increased strength he's now starting to remind me of Shearer.

Shearer scored alot of headers, free kicks and some long range stunners.

I cant see Austin getting many long rangers.

I still say Robbie Fowler.

parkin

Reminds me a bit of Alan mayes,(not the tef poster)

A better Grazioli.

that aint hard

Oh no, he's by no means Shearer (yet). I just mean by his growing strength and the way he doesn't mind throwing in an elbow or smashing into someone here and there makes me think of that nasty cunt Shearer.

In ten years time we'll be talking about our latest new striker and saying he reminds us of a young Charlie Austin.

i cant be arsed trawling thru this thread but simply wanted to point out that fair play to the endeavour we showed last night cracking result......oh and if we wouldn't have won, i would have written an incredibly long letter of complaint to southampton for the custard pie organisation of getting tickets/getting into the ground as I dont think its acceptable that you can arrive at 720pm and not get in the ground until 8pm-fuckin shambles....bring on saturday :-)

When I got back from the game last night the first thing I did was read this whole thread (actually it was the second thing because I did a massive piss - it nearly started coming out before I'd managed to lob my piece out), and I thoroughly bloody enjoyed it. Nice one to all who posted, it was like reliving it all again.

Really enjoyed last night's game, thought the commitment and effort got us that result (as well as our excellent backing  :) ). Charlie's dad was sat in front of me (according to two different people pointing it out). I have seen Lecs twice at centre half (incl posh away) and he has been superb. Hope we can keep the momentum going on Saturday.

By the way, have Saints got a trip to Wembley coming up? I am sure I heard it mentioned last night  :doh:

Forgot to add.............Wasn't last night our first league win away against the Saints?

I can certainly remember the horrible match at the dell when we lost 5 - 1.  Just after losing 5 - 0 nil to liverpool on the sunday wasnt it?

They had JPT Wembley  t shirts and flags for sale. And people were wearing them.

We won there in the Southern League.

I saw that in the club shop, along with the large foam hands  :bye:. I popped in there to try and find a "present" for the Pompey fan at work.

Saints first ever match at The Dell was v Swindon....they beat us 4-1 and seem to have been beating us ever since...i remember Shilton playing brilliant at the CG in the cup and Rideout beating us in extra time in the replay..set up by a young Shearer.
Can also remember Matt le Tiss oozing class at the County Ground in the prem days..indeed a bogey team so a great win at last at there place.

Last win there was in 57-58...in fact we also did the double that season...no doubt that the wait and size of the club makes it feel so much better, but it's still only 3 points.

I think that our very young reserve side went down 0-5 against Southampton Reserves tonight. Can't find any details of who played, scored, etc but the word was that Southampton were going to put a out a strong side so it's no surprise really!

I was in the Upper Tier of the Milton Road for that with a Soton fan from work - not a great day. later that season I went up to Villa with a Villa fan at work - 5-0. Since then work colleagues can fuck off when it comes to watching Town.

Pubs had them up in their windows too.

Just saw the goal on the BBC site. At first it looked miles offside but after lots of trying to pause it at just the right time, it looks as though the run and the through ball were perfectly timed.

Not that I'd be too concerned if the lino had cocked it up!

Clearly onside :)

I could see it was onside from back here in Swindon.

Never in doubt.

great play to knock it round davies

Does the defender not get a slight deflection on it anyway, or am i seeing things.

If you mean in regards to it being offside then it doesn't matter - deflections don't count, its who played the ball last.

The way Austin went round the keeper is proper old skool, you never see players do it like that anymore.

Ferry's second booking looks even softer on the highlights, no wonder Sheehan responds the way he does to the player on the floor making a meal of it.

On reflection, this is one of the best away days Ive ever had.

On the subject of who he reminds me of, in my mind there is one that Austin does remind me of.

A great goalscorer who hardly scored many headers or many long range efforts but was totally deadly in the box and good close control.

The great Ian Rush.

Tuesday brought back my love of Town...bring on Norwich

I thought that myself a couple of weeks ago, it's used to be part of the strikers art but seems to have disappeared from the game. Not sure why, but one possible reason is that a lot of strikers especially in the Prem tend to want to make contact with the keeper and take their chances getting a pen, e.g. AJ in the Fulham cup game, and tuck away the pen rather than try and slot from an acute angle.

Maybe Charlie has asked The Don for a few tips to take around the keeper.

Greaves was a master of it.

Don wasn't too bad in one on ones with the keeper and passing it around. Crikey, if Jimmy Greaves was playing the moden game what would his value be compared with some of the millions spent on strikers who are poor finishers.

What's a real shame is that quite often the football media when talking about striker records only go back to 1992 and the start of the Premier League. Greaves and Brian Clough, the player, had fantastic goals to game ratios. Mike Ingham on 5 Live a few weeks ago did make the comment that Greaves was the greatest finisher he'd ever seen.

Tuesday was the first away game I have been to on my own, those who were going to come down just couldn't make it. Lucky mascot or billy no mates, I'll let the TEF decide  :)

Both fucking champion drinkers too - imagine a night in the pub with these two. If the landlord would've refused a lock-in then he would've just been tied up & gagged until we were done. The cunt.
