    It was Saturday the 30th April 2005 & Saints were in turmoil having had four managers in just over a year. The Saints were desperate to gain a win that would help stave off relegation;the visitors were Norwich. In a pulsating game, which saw both teams hold the lead, Henri Camara's long range strike just before time gave the home side an amazing victory.

    Whilst the result did not save the Saints from relegation I still vividly remember the game & Camara's late strike. This was the last game that Southampton won & took three points in the Premier League, after six & a half years could the wait be fiinally over & then we can reflect on six seasons of highs & lows that bridged our top flight exile.

    16th April 2005 was the last time we played Villa.

    2-0 up at half time and then lost 3-2!

    Let's hope it goes differently this weekend.....

    Just for once I'd like us to be losing with 5 minutes to go and then we win! Not good for the heart though!

    What are you saying?!!! I want us to be 3-0 up with only Fergie time left.

    No, on second thoughts I want be 4-0 up, and the the ref to be taking a deep intake of breath with the whistle three inches from his mouth, whilst he glances at his watch for the last time.:)

    Also, we have Steven Davis playing for us now, he scored the winner for Villa in that game. Maybe he'll restore the balance this time?

    That's nothing, we had four owners in just over a year!

    The commentators on my TV feed here in the States where saying Villa had never lost at St Mary's. Another demon buried
