As Herman`s Hermits would have it, "Woke up this morning, feeling fine. There`s something special on my mind......." and so on. Maybe he was on to something good. But then there were the Mamas and Papas - "Monday, Monday. Can`t trust that day. Monday Monday, sometimes it just turns out that way......"
So I guess you never know what Monday might bring. As for me, it brought the chilling experience of catching BBC Breakfast which confirmed the feeling that Monday mornings are not helped by being confronted by the pompous, overbearing Naga Munchetty doling out the news of the day.
Things took a not unexpected turn when it was reported that Saints manager Mark *"Sparky" Hughes had been `relieved of his duties,` along with his coaching chums Mark Bowen and Eddie Niedzwiecki following a depressingly underwhelming start to the football season which has so far resulted in one solitary win from 14 games played.
Now being a kind hearted fellow, I thought I should feel some sympathy for them but since they signed three year contracts a mere six months ago and will thus be fully compensated at the going rate for dismissing Premier League managers and assistants, I doubt they will stare abject penury in the face. Such are the rewards for dismal failure in the parallel universe of the Premier League.
Attention now turns to who will be the next incumbent for the helter- skelter merry-go-round in the managerial hotseat of the south coast`s finest club. Rumour has it that it might fall to one Ralph Hasenhuttl, late of Red Bull Leipzig. (No, I hadn`t either. But then it is Monday.)
