Well, I’ve seen more goals in one match than I’ve seen all season, I think. Certainly more goals scored for us away from home than I’m used to. Yet we still couldn’t pull in all three points. Shows how much we’re missing Woodgate.
Small consolation in that Southampton matches up to neighbouring rivals Portsmouth for a wonderful welcome. Absolutely no intimidation or worry walking to or from the game, all the fans stopping to wish you a good game or talk football. Our away contingent was in full voice for most of the game and filled
out the allocated section. Impressive given that the original fixture of a bank holiday Saturday was shifted to a Wednesday night. At least I managed to swing some work down here to saVE some cash.
But our only hope of European football lies in ManUre beating Villa on Saturday and us not losing at Liverpool. Good grief. One of my mates is furious with us for not getting fourth spot, and he’s a Liverpool fan. Apparently its our fault if they still have Houlier managing them next season.
Anyway, I’ve got to crash. Early start in the morning as I have to drive back up the A3 to site. At least I’ll sleep well. Dinner has consisted of one bottle of Newcastle Brown, two pint of Tetley and a pint of Carling.
