Down and out, or “Coca Cola: you can’t beat The Real Thing”

Posted on May 19, 2005 by Tim

I’m late to the party, if that’s not an unfortunate choice of words under the circumstances, but Southampton (contrary to my previous optimism) were relegated to the Coca Cola Championship (“fizzy pop league”) last Sunday, losing 2-1 to Man. Utd. … Continue reading →

(Hopefully) Staying up with Harry & Jim!

Posted on May 4, 2005 by Tim

I was lucky enough to be able to use a friend’s season ticket on Saturday (thanks Richard!) and be at St. Mary’s Stadium in Southampton as The Saints narrowly beat fellow-strugglers Norwich 4-3 in what was truly a game of … Continue reading →

There’s only one team in Hampshire…

Posted on April 25, 2005 by Tim

…and one collection of eleven footballers who just happen to be wearing the same (red and white) kit. Portsmouth destroyed – not just beat – Southampton yesterday. We are now bottom of the table, with the only good news being … Continue reading →

Oi! Bent! No!

Posted on February 7, 2005 by Tim

Marcus Bent. What can I say? Comedy name, son, but your last-minute equaliser for Everton against the clearly-superior-on-the-day Saints has robbed us of two desperately-needed points. The run-in to the end of the season isn’t great: 22 February: West Brom … Continue reading →

The FA Cup is still romantic

Posted on January 10, 2005 by Tim

The romance of the FA Cup returned this weekend, as Yeovil, Oldham and Sheffield United (amongst others) defeated higher-division opponents. Yeading couldn’t do the same against Newcastle (and, thankfully, neither could Northampton beat Southampton – phew!), but acquitted themselves reasonably … Continue reading →
