Ha ha..! It's has been a lovely journey, hasn't it..? Saying goodbye [ok, if it happens] to the Football League will be a moment of mixed emotions, for me. Southampton seem destined to join the elite football clubs, once again, but the real competitive football is alive and well in the Football League. I have thoroughly enjoyed both League One and The Championship, and it really is an advert for competitive football. If Saints make it to the big time I'm going to miss this league. Those clubs who will be in it next season are going to be in for a really enjoyable time, because it is so competitive that on any given day, any club can beat another. That's real competition. The media might have its glare on the PL, but if they actually pointed their cameras at the FL with more than a passing glance they'd capture the enthusiasm of the viewers. And that just wouldn't do, would it..?
Exactly what I mean: we should aim for a pray-off place, let's say an abandoned Jewish temple or a Shi'ite mosque. As Saints fans we can always pray better than other fans - we spend most of the season doing it on our knees.
