Oh when the Saints go marching in, oh when the Saints go marching in


It's August! And the football season has started. Well for those of us who support the best team in the world anyway. Long gone are the carefree Saturdays when you can while away the hours, thinking happy thoughts and not worrying a bean about anything. Nope, when the football season starts, say hello to gut-wrenching Saturdays*, where everything centres of what happens come 4.45. This is doubly true if you are a Saints fan (witness the trauma of the last game of the season before last where we were quite literally 60 seconds away from promotion and it all went horribly wrong), and we always have a slowish start to the season.

So, just imagine my surprise when, come 5.00, we are Top of the League. If only the season could end now.
