Southampton are back up to 6th in the Championship - 6 points from our last two games, plus 8 goals for and none against. 5 games left to play in the season. It's going to be close.
I haven't felt this confident about Southampton doing anything right in a long time.
I definitely now subscribe to the theory that it is more interesting to support a team that is lower down the tables. That way, it really means something when they do something right (like making the FA Cup final in 2003). If you support Man U or Chelsea by comparison, do you feel the same amount of elation whenever they win? Probably not. Instead, you feel like every win is the very least you expected and anything less just won't do.
To Southampton fans, winning something is a prize only rarely within our grasp. To Chelsea, Man U and Arsenal fans it seems to be treated as a right, with failure to achieve not just one, but several big wins (cups, leagues, European campaigns) in one season seen as a major disappointment and cause to start thinking about ousting the manager. Where's the enjoyment in that?
