Low thundering shot from the top of the box. Always felt bad that he captained us into the premiership then was ditched immediately upon our return.
Because you would word it differently. Something like... "It's impossible we don't win this game. Leeds' strikers can't score and they're going down."
Agreed, I can remember it vividly, watching from a bar in Spain full of Leeds fans. I think we knew back to back promotion was at least on the cards after just 1 game.
Not sure about promotion but we certainly knew we weren't intending on making up the numbers and that we would compete. What a player Deano was too btw. Proper captain and how we could do with his leadership now.
Always remember having a chat with a Swansea fan in my local, when we got promoted from league 1, he said we would go down straight away as Rickie wasn’t good enough to score in the championship. We had the same conversation the season after And when Rickie scored for England he just bought me a pint, shook my hand and laughed and said FairPlay.
Matchday. 3 things we need to do today: 1. Keep the ball. With the high temperature it's going to be a bitch out of possession. Hopefully the fans won't moan every time we pass the ball backwards but that's probably hoping for miracles. A possession game is the way to go today. 2. Get Lavia on the ball as much as possible. He had a promising debut and should have more opportunities to impact the game today. 3. Fans - get behind the team. A toxic atmosphere, Ralph out chants help no one. UTFS!
At nippers football training and its ****ing scorchio already. Stay hydrated all those going especially if you're having a sing song.
3-1, the championship classic scoreline. 20/1 on Betfair. Pop this month's mortgage payment on it and your financial worries will be over. Vin
The sun is out. Not a cloud in the sky. Andrà tutto bene As they say in Italy. 3-0 Saints. AA hatrick. Say it, think it, believe it.
Anyone who is expecting a high energy game is mistaken. There will be lots of water breaks. Personally I don't think the game should be played. We could damage the health of some of our team.
So wearing my Saints bobble hat and scarf, then having a half-time Bovril, might be overdoing it on heat front, then?
