First two matches of the season this morning. League One now, remember, so I wasn’t hoping for much. Came away with an unlucky draw and a lucky win, which isn’t bad for starters.

However, Southampton have sacked their manager. I’ve got all morning to decide whether or not to apply for the job. (Er, while I write some PHP code to talk to a Microsoft SQL database. I’m not just going to be sitting around pondering.) It would take me up to the Championship, but Southampton’s finances are insecure so I might be stuck with a rubbish squad and no money. I had told myself I’d apply for any job just to get away from Torquay, but after two half-decent games this morning I’m thinking that maybe I should stick with them.

Hmm… chin stroking time and no mistake.
