Great Moments in Recent Southampton History (Part 9)

Although quite recent, this obviously qualifies as a great moment.  I prepared this entry on the Tuesday after our big victory, but I will wait to post it until after our next loss.  Am I posting it next week after a game with Stoke?  Or did we go on a very long run and I am posting this after we lose the FA Cup final to Portsmouth?  Anything is possible, but I suspect most Southampton fans would prefer the former.

My personal view of the game was considerably less than great, however.  I accidently set my Ipad to wake me up at 5:50 am instead of 6:50 am. (The game started at 7 am my time.)  I reset the alarm and went back to sleep.  The alarm never went off again.  Fortunately, I woke up on my own at 7:10 am just in time to see the replays of the first goal.
I was able to watch the game until about the 52 minute mark when the NBC Live app stopped working.  All active BPL games—not just ours—simply froze at the same moment in time and things never started working right again for those games.  I tried both my Ipads and my computer, but they were all the same.  As a result, I missed goals four through eight—although I saw them later on replays, of course.
I feel quite deprived.  I missed the chance to enjoy the game while it happened.  Sure, the result is what matters, but watching games live is what makes it fun. 
My Ipad alarm finally went off at 6:50 pm as I returned home from dinner.
