First Hurdle Fall

With everything to do in Bucharest, Southampton failed to do anything. Well, they tried hard, and Gordon is rightly proud of their efforts, but the list of destinations on this year’s European Tour is rather short, and will get no longer.

I guess this is what’s good about supporting a team that isn’t Man Utd or Arsenal: you have to take the rough with the smooth, the bad times as well as the good. While last year’s cup run and league placing was exhilarating, I’m glad in a way that success has to be worked hard for, and that it doesn’t come automatically, as it seems to do for some of the larger teams.

Here’s to the slow and deliberate hard workers of the world!
