Believe me, i know where everybody is coming from. But we have to get out of this mentality that is Saints, and if there's a way to fcuk it up, we'll find it. We have to start believing that we're the better team when a club comes up against us who are going through a sticky patch, and ruthlessly put them to the sword.

Tonda has talked about making St Marys a fortress so we need to win again today to make it 4 victories on the bounce. That is where momentum and self belief come from because the team will start to feel confident every time they step out at home. Conversely doubts creep into the opposition who arrive fearing the worst.

I thought that when I went to Highbury to see Saints play Everton in an F A Cup Semi Final in the early eighties.
We were flying in the league and had some high quality players, Everton were mediocre at best.
Another Wembley final was a formality.
Couldn’t lose.
Big Mac played Steve Williams when he wasn’t fit and we lost to an Adrian Heath header in the final few minutes.
Biggest post match fight I’ve ever seen with police horses on the pitch after the final whistle.
I’ve never taken any game we play in for granted from that day onward.
And on top of all that, it would have been an even weaker Watford team waiting for us in the Final. I worked in retail back then and didn’t make Area Manager until the following year which meant weekends off so I booked Cup Final week off after we got through the 6th round. I was so gutted I sat at home on Cup Final afternoon with a bottle of Bacardi (as you did in those days) and watched the Final whistle getting bladdered on Bacardi & Coke.
That was also the season we finished runners-up to Liverpool in the old Division 1. We finished three points behind them but I remember two single incidents in the home games v QPR and v Sunderland that cost us 4 points; both games were draws but should have been wins meaning we would have finished top by a single point. In the early season game v QPR Steve Moran ran onto a loose ball and hit a first time shot that hit the QPR keeper so hard in the chest it knocked him backwards with his arms doing a windmill action he made contact with the ball as it came back down after going up vertically after hitting the keeper in the chest. Moran was following up but the inadvertent contact the keeper made with the ball took it away from Moran who ended up in the back of the net. Funny at the time but the game finished 0-0 so 2 pts dropped.
Later in the season we played Sunderland at home in a game so bad that drying paint would have been a close second to spend 90 mins watching! We were 1-0 up, Sunderland had offered nothing all afternoon when they lumped a ball forwards for a hapless striker called Lemon to chase. He had no chance of getting anywhere near it but for some unfathomable reason Nick Holmes, who was stood in the penalty area, reached up with both hands and caught the ball. By his body language it almost looked like the Ref apologised to NH as he gave the inevitable spot kick as if to say what on earth were you doing ?? sorry mate, but it’s a Pen.
In hindsight, perhaps I should have given my daughter’s (Crystal Palace supporting) boyfriend the background info on the FAC and the 4 lost points first, however, I elected to kick off the conversation with: In the 83/4 season we were unlucky not to have won the Double - just as he was taking a sip of a fresh pint, about a quarter of which he then spayed over my daughter’s new jeans…
Looking forward to tonight 🙂

'Comfortable Saints win'
We are talking Saints here,you can never be sure with our lot.
But "our lot" have now changed. There is a positive mood/vibe it seems now around the players and the fans that can only bode well 3-0 win for Saints with Fellows actually getting a goal against his old club, and Azaz to continue his scoring tun
Just looked at the table in the HT break and we are up to 6th in the last play-off place! OK, I know Stoke and Brizzle City play tomorrow and other gamers are draws but just to see it in such a short space of time is amazing considering where we were under the playstation pillock.
