Fair play to Mark Hughes because he was well game. It was right by where I was stood. Apparently more amusing was Digby's mrs smacking ince's mrs afterwards.
From my hazy memory of that era, I use to live quite close to some of the town players and I can vaguely recall old Fraser being kicked out the house with his mrs screaming at him about something. I also have memories of Martin Ling inviting me into his back garden during a BBQ to sign an autograph, John Gorman opening his front door in his dressing gown to sign an autograph on the way home from school and Jan Fjortoft casually leaning out his bedroom window chucking out signed player cards. They were the days... |

i loved that season, even though i was only 12 i think i got it that would be a one off! its hard to pick a worst performance but getting beat 3-0 at wimbledon has to be up there from the games i saw, that or getting humped at the dell!

Looking at some of the Stats from our Prem season, We had 16,261 at our home game with Chelsea and away at the bridge it was 11,180. Our lowest league game attendance was 11,940 which was our first home game v Oldham and our highest was 18,102 v Man U at home

Another 2 conceded tonight in another defeat for Southampton but the point I wanted to make was in relation to the opponents tonight West Brom.
They are a seriously good premier league outfit now. Quality throughout the 11 on the pitch and more to come off the bench. With that period in the 00's where they were constantly yoyo-ing between the top 2 league I wondered if they would make it as a consistently decent side in the PL. But I think they have do fair play.

Just realising what dross I saw in our premier league year. Wimbledon away, villa away, Southampton away, Leeds home, arsenal home. Is that 22~1 on aggregate from those games?
I did see other matches but those stick in the memory.

After all the years I've been going to watch the town it was during our premier season that due to work I saw the least amount of games, probably no more than half a dozen at most. Although it wasn't our most successful season I would still loved to of been able to say I saw us play the likes of United,Liverpool and the other big names.

We were seriously fucked over in a few games that season by dreadful decisions.
Away at Sheff Wed, Liverpool, Spurs and Man City spring to mind.
I think we were the only side that season to score 4 against Man U over the 2 games
As an aside - is there a better day out than an away game in London?

Fucked over away at Everton where Mutch got red but the Everton player should of gone too.
Liverpool away was the best away game.
United at home best at home for me.......fucking Sanchez should of won it.

Made worse by the fact I was in the home end with three Villa fans. Humiliating. |

When we registered our first win v QPR it was middle October, so Saints and QPR have failed to emulate us in getting their opening victory of the season. I loved it when Derby and Sunderland had a pathetic Premiership season as it took the heat off us

The thing was that the QPR game was our 16th league game of the season, whereas Saints and QPR are currently only on their 10th game. And also they play 4 less games a season so I doubt our 100 goals against will ever be equalled or beaten. |
