The wait is over

At long last we registered our first League victory of the season on Saturday, at the seventh attempt - and it just had to be Shearer who did the trick, scoring his 250th career league goal against one of his former clubs. Although Southampton hardly played like they have been in recent weeks, we still managed to make hard work of it - but grinding out a win was all that mattered. A shame from our perspective that Leeds, Spurs and Wolves all won too, but the result should hopefully improve confidence and morale, and signal an upturn in fortunes.
