Just got back from a weekend away, had the game recorded on tv (oh the luxuries of being premier league!) and... What a f u cking game!
I watched it with a Southampton convert American friend who knows his 'soccer' and we were both extremely impressed.
I saw Heart. Professionalism. Skill. Enthusiasm.
The last 10 minutes were amazing as we pinned them back in their own half. I saw a team playing 'the Southampton way'. I'd seen it in league one and the championship, but to see it in the premier league in the very first game, away from home against the champions... Oh yes.
Oh, and Rickie, GET IN THERE MY SON!!!! Just carry on where you left off mate!
The only dampener was finding out about Tony Scott halfway through watching the game, an absolute tragedy.
R.I.P and C.O.Y.R
