Still brings tears to the eyes after 12 years, what a moment for our greatest player of modern history!
We should've kept Jones as assistant. We would've won the premier league with the world greatest tactician and we would have one of the best statistics in Europe.
On the streaming front, my Saintsplayer subscription ended today, so I have been looking for an alternative IPTV provider. The best one I have found so far is StreamQ, who offer a free 24 hour trial, which I am in the middle of evaluating. Once you have got your head around the fact that it doesn’t automatically default to UK TV channels, it’s very very good. There is a UK Championship section in the channel list, which will hopefully be the first port of call when looking for the Saints games. It costs $12.99 a month or less if you take a longer subscription.
One of those moments when you can remember where you were; Kennedy assassination Tewkesbury, Neil Armstrong London, Rickie Exmoor.
I was working as a carer, in Bromley, at the time of Rickie’s England debut and the individual I was working for chose to ask for his liquid medication just as Rickie was waiting to be subbed on. It shows how professional I was that I didn’t ignore him, spill the medicine all over him or accidentally jam the spoon down his throat, as Rickie scored.
I took the plunge and signed up to StreamQ for a year, which cost £61, a lot cheaper than Saintsplayer for pretty much exactly the same service. It uses the same Smarters Pro Lite app, so an easy changeover.
That James Beattie one at Stamford Bridge was one of the most “painful” goals in my Saints supporting life. A good mate of mine who was a STH at Chelsea took me to the game (his mate who couldn’t go let him have the ticket) and I sat right behind that goal in the shed end. I knew it was going in the second it left his boot and I remember thinking “oh ****” in fear of what I might do. Managed to keep a lid on it though. Painful!
