Swindon Cup Tie

I spent most of today at home catching up on paperwork after my four-day trip away up north.  The cats have met and are tolerating each other but it will be a few weeks I think before they are both fully prepared to accept each other. The young male, Leo, is a bit of a "lad" as he provokes the older female, Ginny, mercilessly and is in to everything.  Tonight Tom and I attended Southampton's cup tie at Swindon. We left our car at Luella's an Ben's and they drove us to the ground. Saints won the game quite comfortably 3-1.   They will now face either Charlton or Preston North End at home in mid-September.  There was an interesting situation that developed at the end of the match when one of Swindon's strikers refused to go down the tunnel after an altercation with the fitness coach and the Swindon manager Paulo Di Cannio. The player, Clarke, stayed out on the pitch anmd we were well on our way home before he came in.  No doubt there will be a further enquiry.  Swindon are doing badly at the moment in League One and the contrast between their perfomance and that of Championship side Saints was noticeable.
