Just a quick one.   Three months ago the Saints were comprehensively stuffed 9-0 at home by Leicester City.  In hindsight that may have been the best thing that has happened to the club for some time, as it concentrated minds and brought a hitherto unrecognized determination that, as things couldn`t get any worse, the only way was up.

And so it has proved.  Since that fateful evening at St. Mar y`s Stadium the team and the manager have gone back to basics, sorted themselves out and performed a turnaround in the club`s fortunes that almost defies belief.  If you look now at the `form table` for the last ten matches you will see that the Saints lie second only to Liverpool, having had a superb run of results, beating Aston Villa and Chelsea away from home, Spurs at home and yesterday their redemption was completed by going to Leicester and beating them 2-1 in their own ground.

So along with my fellow Southampton supporting chums we are now officially over the moon, having banished parrot sickness from our minds.  As things stand, the Saints have 28 points, needing another 12 from the remaining 16 games to guarantee Premier League survival.  Surely that should happen to confirm a quite astounding revival although  I really am struggling to believe what`s happened.

So, a good weekend all round. ( But I wonder, being a Saints fan, how long this feelgood factor might last.)
