Delia's boys must go down

My football team, Southampton (The Saints), go to Norwich today having played two, lost two. We are bottom of the Championship and out of the Carling Cup. Exactly one week ago I was excited at the start of the new season and off to the first game with high hopes, based on a good pre-season. The only defeat was at home to Lazio, (who are in the Champions League this season). That was, however, the game that actually showed how we should approach the season as our defence played with lead boots. Two weeks later, enter Crystal Palace, and again the Saints kit man broke out the lead boots and we lost, at home, 4-1.

Monday night, we went to Peterborough, who are two leagues below us and came second. Mind you Sky Sports expected it as they showed it live and they didn't choose it because they wanted the nation to see The Saints "total football"

Today we go to East Anglia, with a new Centre half (bought from the mighty Burnley!). After one week I will be happy with a draw!
