....and yesterday Snopper Street had it all.   First, an unlikely win for promotion seeking Saints as they became the first team to win at Brighton`s Withdean Stadium for 13 months.   A careless back pass from Radhi Jaidi on the stroke of half time let in Brighton`s Ashley Barnes for a half time lead.   But Saints came storming back late on with goals from David Connoly and Jose Fonte to spark scenes of orgasmic elation among the 900 travelling Saints fans.  

Not much respite for our heroes, however, as they take on Hartlepool at St. Mary`s tomorrow in another must win encounter if they are to keep their automatic promotion hopes alive.   Four games to go;  the tension is mounting but I`ve just managed to secure a ticket for the last game of the season at home to Walsall in two weeks time.   The game could be a 30,000 sell out, judging by the fact that the only seat I could get was in Row KK - hanging on the roof of the Itchen Stand.

Next the loss and sad to report a rare reverse for Gillingham, who have slipped out of the play-off places thanks to a 4-2 hammering by lowly Barnet at Priestfield yesterday.   Maybe things would have been different had my good friend and uber Gills fan Mr. Slightly stayed away, as his sporadic visits to Priestfield Stadium seem often to end in disappointment - he may be running the risk of a banning order.

And finally, the draw.   Mid-table Charlton went to Bristol Rovers yesterday and coasted into a 2-0 lead, only to have two players sent off as well as manager Chrissy (The Legend) Powell for `ungentlemanly conduct` thus enabling the relegation battling Gas to recover for a 2-2 draw.   Charlton were without the services of Snopper Street`s pacy wideman Scott (Buzzin` Six Pack Flanker) Wagstaff, who had `tweaked a hamstring` in training.  No wonder they went to pieces. 


So, a win, a loss and a draw yesterday, but to be fair we`ll draw a line in the sand at the end of the day and move on to tomorrow`s games of two halves when agony, ecstasy and hopefully a few more orgasmic thrills will once more play out as Snopper Street`s very own fat lady begins to clear her deep throat in readiness for a climactic end to a pulsating season.
