They don`t come around very often. In fact, I can hardly remember a day quite like yesterday - maybe it`s never happened before - but even if it has then yesterday was another day to savour, to live long in the memory; a day I will tell my grandchildren about and recall a perfect day.
And the reason for all of this? Well, it began with my dearly beloved Saints overcoming the frenetic hopelessness of Queens Park Rangers to secure their first away win in the Premier League this season. Surely a corner turned.
And there was much dancing in the rest of Snopper Street as next door`s rampaging Gills secured a 2-1 victory over Morecambe at fortress Priestfield to put them seven points clear at the top of their division. Deaf Mike`s Ebbsfleet also won 2-1 away at Macclesfield to haul themselves still further up the Conference league table, but it was left, once again, to our street`s pacy flanker Scott (Buzzin` Six Pack Gay Icon) Wagstaff to sprinkle a little of his stardust onto proceedings at both Turf Moor, Burnley and Brunton Park in faraway Carlisle.
You see, Waggy has been on loan at Leyton Orient these past few weeks and his time there has clearly left its mark to inspire the O`s to travel all that way oop north and come away with a convincing 4-1 win. Meanwhile, now back at Charlton for their trip to Burnley, his looming presence on the bench was enough to inspire the starting eleven to a 1-0 win.
So, good results all round for our neighbourhood watch but what made the day so very special were other results that lifted our spirits still further. Manchester United getting stuffed by the Canaries of Norwich, Portsmouth losing at their Krapp Nottarf weakhold to Doncaster Rovers and even the serially disingenuous Chelsea losing away at the Hawthorns to the much improved Baggies. And I`m sure Lou Reed won`t mind me pinching a couple of lines from his lyrics to celebrate.......
.........such a perfect day; weekenders on our own. It`s such fun.
such a perfect day: you made me forget myself. I thought I was someone else.
Someone good.............
