    I always liked how Chris Perry and Simon Gillett got on the pitch for a period of time as neither were anywhere near the first team that season.

    For me, the game was won by Pardew's masterstroke of playing our best LB at RB. Future Saints managers will look at this game and adopt a similar approach, I'm sure.

    Who knows, maybe in 10 years time when we're in the Premier League, our manager will take this strategy one stage further and play our best midfielder in the RB spot?

    Was the first pundit who said we'd keep our good start up and get promoted in the Championship season iirc.

    Imagine if he had something else in his hands like a flag, or a scarf.

    fran-MLs little flag
    fran-MLs little scarf
    fran-MLs little binoculars
    fran-MLs little walking stick

    None of those have the same ring.

    Speaking of flag, is that still about? Think it was at Wembley for the league cup final.

    I believe his son is a Saints' fan.

    Yes, when he first became a pundit, there was a huge amount of anti-Claridge stuff around from Saints supporters. I used to wonder why there was so much of it, as he was only an ex-Pompey player and manager in his time. And he had been an ex-player of an awful lot of clubs.
    And every time he uttered something about Saints, it was always very fair comment. So I gave him a free pass from the first day I heard him. And he's never said anything since to make me change my mind. He's been an entertaining and fair pundit [especially Radio 5's Monday Night Club where he's had Me and Mark Chapman.in stitches at times] over the years, and it's just a shame that he returned to football as a director-manager a few years back. But our loss is Salisbury FC's gain.

    One of my great Saints memories.

    It doesn't come much better than seeing your club lift a trophy at Wembley.

    Yeah, that's true. But when he scored that goal for Millwall against us in the Cup, did he have to run to the Northam and point at the name on his shirt?

    Yeah, he was getting loads of stick up until then. It doesn't feel right saying it but I quite like him.
