Thanks Martin - now you take good care of our Mattie won`t you! :-) I actually had a Southampton supporter giving me good wishes but text last week! :-) I think that we know that we are getting a good stuffing BUT we were supposed to up at Old Trafford two years ago . . . And anyway, our most important achievements this season were to knock out Saints and Spurs1 :-) -- Tony Cooke www.tonycooke.co.uk contactable at tony.j.cookeATgooglemailDOTcom A day not wasted is a day wasted!
