I see Dexter came on for Forest on Saturday. You can already see the headlines at the weekend as he scores their winner!

Am I having my usual memory problems or does the ex player scores seem to happen regularly against us?

What's wrong with Dexter..? He's never done anything against Saints, as far as I know.

He did score against us in a 2-1 defeat in 2006. That was the game where Kelvin got caught in possession trying to shepherd the ball out of play by Ray Jones, who would later tragically die in a car accident.

Well plenty of ex-players have scored against us. Too many..! But I don't think Dexter Blackstock is thought of extra badly, by the supporters. Players I know who are badly thought of include [sadly IMO], Kenwyne Jones, Leon Best, Kevin Philips, and some others.
 
I think it's just a question of the sheer number of players who have played for Saints. There have been so many, that it's almost inevitable that one will come back to bite us. I don't believe in fate or luck or any supernatural nonsense. It's just probability. Notice how the curse of Sky seems to disappear, when we have a stronger team?
