    That Huddersfield match undoubtedly was the best last season. Rothwell screamer and crazy scenes in general in the second half.

    As the ball was making its way towards Cuco I was shouting “don’t try and shoot from there”.
    What do I know.
    Has anyone mentioned the game at home to Villa with the Mane fastest ever hat trick?

    Expanding on the theme slightly - five memorable games with individual brilliance and not always from expected sources.

    Wolves 0-6 Southampton - March 2007 Championship - One of the strangest “thrashings” with saints and hat-trick hero Saganowski ruthless in front of goal

    Sheffield United 2-3 Southampton - May 2008 Championship - Scenes as two goals from Stern John secure final day survival.

    Southampton 3-2 MK Dons - April 2011 League 1 - Jonathan Forte at the double to recover a two goal deficit

    Leeds 0-1 Southampton - March 2012 Championship - Kelvin Davis gave his best impression of a brick wall

    Southampton 5-3 Huddersfield - Feb 2024 Championship - Last seasons mental match and Joe Rothwell’s underwhelming loan became worthwhile in two crazy minutes

    Didn’t Stern John get sent off in that Sheffield Utd game too? 80 minutes iirc and we hung on. Also remember the Utd fans dressed as stormtroopers too. Great day.

    Yep he was on a yellow and removed his shirt in the goal celebration. Right in front of me in the Itchen.

    I think I might still have the DVD somewhere - ‘Survival Sunday’
