Season 2010/2011 Promotion

[One Teddy Maybank]

That's a bit harsh, I seem to remember Kelvin Davis being almost at full stretch to save it.

Weak penalty, little pace on the ball as I recall.

I remember that season well. Southampton took til the back end of September to really get going. We just about limped across the finishing line while Southampton were going like an express train at the finish, and went on to complete the double championes the following season.

Southampton had to finish like an express train just to go up, seeing as our 8/8 winning games in March made April fairly academic

Yes. Yes we did. We were still second best in that division that season though.

No we weren't we finished top. I can only see this as a fishing attempt, but it's weird given the feel good atmosphere atm to bother.

No we weren't.

Not a chance. As others have said we'd switched off at the end.

They NEEDED to pull their finger out because they had been distinctly average.

Anyway, other than last season the table never lies [emoji6]

We were championes with 5 games to spare. Promoted at Withdean, Champions at Walsall. I know you despised the manager, but don't rewrite history.

Er, not quite...

Despite what the local media would have you believe

Just to finish picking THPP's daft post apart, Southampton were not 'Championes' on EITHER of those seasons. They finished second the Reading in 11/12

Of course not. CLARITY is my middle name.

Do you mean Claret-y?

Smashed the league in March between 26th Feb - 29th March

P8 W8 D0 L0 F13 A4 GD9 Pts24

Ended that run 13 points above 2nd placed Huddersfield with a game in hand - 18 points above Southampton having played two more than them.
Game over - team took early holiday - only secured 95 pts.

 

[chaileyjem]

Perhaps. Missed it, either way.


The report of that game makes weird reading now: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_div_2/9206220.stm

First the apparent disparity in the sides - Saints' starting line-up included Jose Fonte, Morgan Scheiderlin, Alex Oxlaide-Chamberlain, Ricky Lambert and Adam Lallana. Ours Casper Ankergren, Adam El Abd and Augustien Battipiedi, yet we WALKED that league. Amazing.

I was at that game and remember when AEA got his nasty leg injury, and being gutted that he had to go off, and hoping we'd cope okay with LEWIS DUNK coming on in his place!

Of course Chris Wood, Glenn Murray, Ashley Barnes and Dunk himself who were part of our 18 that day *might* all be playing in the Prem next season.

[Bigtomfu]

Altogether now....

We've got Gustavo
You've got a physio

I'd forgotten that. Genuine lolz

 

[We're the Stripes]

Of course Chris Wood, Glenn Murray, Ashley Barnes and Dunk himself who were part of our 18 that day *might* all be playing in the Prem next season.

If Chris Wood is then I'd imagine Bridcutt may be too (again).

Chris Wood might not be playing for Leeds mind.

I think I remember Gus saying "That if he had the players that Southhamton had and did not win the league, he would sack himself"
