Four year hoodoo ended!

02/12/2009 | By More

Ever since I watched Southampton relegated from the premiership four years ago, my presence at a football ground seems to condemn the home team. I don’t get the chance to see many matches nowadays, but every match I turn up to since then, ends with the home team unable to win. Regardless of the quality of the teams, whether its the champions league or a more minor game, I have been unable to watch a home team win. Finally I have laid that to rest.

Last night, I nipped down to the south coast to watch Southampton take on Wycombe in a not particularly inspiring league two clash. I offered 1.50 for a Southampton win and, unlike the last match against Brighton, there was little going for the away team. It looked a fairly certain home win.

And so that turned out to be. Southampton won and climbed out of the relegation zone. They made fairly heavy weather of it though. Despite dominating the chances, Wycombe only had one shot worth recalling, Southampton only managed the one goal and really should scored quite a few more; but a win is a win.

One point of interest. I think it’s always interesting to watch sports live as you control the action of the ‘camera’ and can spot a lot more than watching on the TV. It’s a nice reminder of what you can miss when a director is controlling the camera. It’s worth getting out there now and again and looking at the broader picture. It’s given me a few ideas to pursue in the new year.
