Less than two years ago, the Saints won this fixture 2-1. After falling behind to a Robert Earnshaw goal, a Gareth Bale free kick drew the home side level before Kenwyne Jones scored the winner. The sale of the likes of Bale and Jones obviously hit Southampton hard, but it's crazy the club is so strapped for cash having made millions out of these two and others.
The managers for this game were Peter Grant, who Norwich fans see as a bad joke that went on too long, and George Burley, who had the good fortune to be offered a route out of the sinking south coast club by Scotland. This evening Glenn Roeder faces Jan Poortvliet for the first time.
