Thanks RSS. Truth is, I've not been a football fan for years, as some of you may know. I also said I would never follow a Southampton FC that was content with struggling, as I'd seen enough small ambition over the years BC/L (Before Cortese/Liebherr). But basically, just before Xmas I got an offer to help someone build their Youtube channel (I started a small YT channel myself) and, along with work, that became all-consuming, interesting, and pleasurable. So events just coincided. I had become so disillusioned with Saints for letting the ambition and momentum slip and even sacking Puel. However, I've been watching this World Cup, and it has been a true advert for Football. I've loved Russia as hosts and the games have been fantastic so far. I don't know whether I have the time yet to be back regularly, but I will try my best to pop in every now and again. Nice to say Hi, at least.
Saw them live during the 80s in Brighton. Very good live and great end to Forest Fire achieved mainly by using feedback.
