off to Portugal for a week in August (peed off as usually go in July to be back for season start - wife's fault), then not a holiday, but I have volanteered to go to Kenya with Saints Foundation for 2 weeks in November too. (as long as I rasie the money for the charity)
Considering the usual British summer, why did we devise a national sport that could only be played in sunshine? Wouldn't water polo be more sensible?
All right desperate times, so have been watching match highlights on Saints Player: Brighton, Bournemouth, MK Dons etc. Showed how thin the gap is between victory and defeat, for example MK Dons hitting post near end of game. Stats show that we were defeated by the woodwork more times than any other team in League 1 and had more shots on and off target, so in the end the right team got promoted. Gobern's 'tackle' in the Bournemouth game still defies the laws of gravity! Can't work it out. Only 71 days to go.
It will get better (it can't get any worse!). We survived by default last season (we were bad, Kent and Essex were worse) and the previous season (we were bad, Sussex and Worcs were worse), so I'm hoping for the same again this season (Worcs are clearly worse, and fingers crossed it will turn out Yorkshire will also have been worse). Still, survive or go down, we don't have to think about it for a weeks now. Can just sit back, relax, and watch a bit of crash, bang, wallop entertainment.
