Back to St. Mary's

Woke up back in Winterslow this morning and had a fairly relaxed morning at home.  I hoisted the Saints flag in anticipation of their first home game of the season against Sunderland.  Thom and I left for Southampton quite early at 12 noon and just after we parked my car at the solicitors’ car park we use another car pulled up and park next to us.  No problem but there is no guarantee that we would have got parked as often other cars park right across the entrance.  It was good to be back at St. Mary’s and see our old friends – although only “my Andy” and family were there – not “Thom’s Andy” and we wonder whether they have renewed their season tickets.  It was not a great game this afternoon – Sunderland scored in the third minute and Southampton had to wait all the way through the game until the 88^th minute to get the equaliser.  Southampton have managed, therefore, to secure four points from their first two game and tonight they lie 5^th in the Premier League.  A great start to the season although I do hope they play better as the season progresses.
