Well the website’s back in its old clothes. Not a great deal to report in the football world, although Roy is keeping his feet on the ground. This ability to stay on an even keel is one of the many things that I really like about our manager.
May be light posting tomorrow as I’m going down to St Mary’s to watch Southampton v Ipswich. As some of you know, I grew up in rural Bedfordshire (nowhere near a football team) and, while Dad took me to watch Luton a fair bit, I never really warmed to them. No, I followed Ipswich from a distance. We got their scores on Look East and that was enough for me. While others supported Liverpool or Everton my distant fantasy was Ipswich: John Wark, David Lowe, Paul Goddard, Jason Dozzell, Chris Kiwomya, Alex Mathie and so on. There was much to admire about the club, and still is. I was delighted for Moritz Volz when he ended up there; I think it’ll be a good fit for everyone.
Anyway, my mate Dan’s a Southampton S/T holder and had a spare, so I’m going to see how our man’s getting on and enjoy the evening out somewhere different.
THEN, on Thursday I’m going to Craven Cottage for a meet the manager session. I’ve no idea how this works, but it’s going to be streamed on the BBC London website too. So if anyone’s listening feel free to post a comment or two about what’s being said. Exciting stuff, eh?
