SOMETHING TO CHEER ABOUT

Well, it`s been a long time coming but this weekend, Saints fans have something to cheer about at last. My picture shows them dancing in the streets of our once great city as the news filters through that the game away to Watford was postponed because of snow in the area of Vicarage Road. This means, of course, that Saints fans across the globe can rest easily knowing that yet another defeat has been avoided.

The downside is that those games which were played over the weekend have left Saints in an even more perilous position than they were, as they are now effectively five points away from the safety of fourth from bottom of the Championship. One win at home all season, abject management and boardroom stubbornness have all conspired to reduce Saints fans to despair, culminating in an orderly demostration march from the Bargate to St. Mary`s Stadium last week. It seems these days there is more fun in demostrating against the stifling regime of Rupert Lowe and his chums than there is in watching the football. Ah well, at the end of the day, it`s only a game. Isn`t it?
