Rebuilding Southampton – In 2027

The Idea A few years ago I was playing Football Manager and decided to start a game as unemployed and put myself on manager holiday for a few years, which turned out to be until 2028. My original post about it can be found here. I recently was reminded of this and thought it’d be fun […]

An Interesting Weekend

Kat was nervous at first, due to a dislike of large crowds, but she got more into it after Rickie Lambert’s stunning free kick which warmed us all. I was quite surprised she recognised Kelvin Davies, albeit as “that guy I bumped into in Asda”, and after about 20 minutes she asked “Is he always offside?” in regards to Papa Waigo. It wasn’t long before she was moaning at Lloyd James’ short corners and telling me that everyone from Luton is a knife carrying ****. She also laughed louder than most when Luton’s Adam Newton failed to slot home into the open goal from 2 yards out. I think she’s picking things up quite nicely.

Milwall and Lambert

Went to the Saints vs. Milwall game on Saturday, opening game of the League 1 season for Southampton. (Typing League 1 and Southampton in the same sentence is still going to take a bit of getting used to) It was also my first game as a season ticket holder, having fulfilled a lifelong dream in getting my ST a few weeks ago, along with my brother.

New Saintly Starts

I’m April is over. It’s a new month and a new beginning is on the horizon. April has been full of rubbish work, arguments, disappointments, Southampton being relegated, a very stressed girlfriend and incredibly annoying housemates. Now it’s May and all my housemates have gone. I now officially live in a 4 bed house on my own. Kat’s dissertation hand in date is today so hopefully she’s past the worst of it now.
