Reasons to be cheerful?

[Deleted]

OK so it was a bad result last night but can anyone help me come up with some reasons to be cheerful?

1) Lallana got in 15 minutes last night so should be ok to start on Saturday with any luck
2) Rochdale away was always going to be tricky. They're the highest placed team Saints have yet to face apart from Brighton (unless I'm forgetting someone)
3) Brighton are up now and will probably be confirmed as champions by the time Saints play them. They might go easy on us at the Withdean now

1) Agree
2) We have normally done well against the top teams, but Rochdale are in a rich vein of form and charging into the play off places
3) Hopefully they will be playing for their unbeaten record (meaning they will beat Huddersfield).

It's not the end of the world.

Summer, Buddy Holly, the working folly
Good golly Miss Molly and boats
Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet
Jump back in the alley and nanny goats

18-wheeler Scammels, Domenecker camels
All other mammals plus equal votes
Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny Smith and Willy
Being rather silly, and porridge oats

A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
You're welcome, we can spare it - yellow socks
Too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty
Going on 40 - no electric shocks

The juice of the carrot, the smile of the parrot
A little drop of claret - anything that rocks
Elvis and Scotty, days when I ain't spotty,
Sitting on the potty - curing smallpox

Talking of a little drop of claret, I was given a whole lot of CDs with people talking about cricket. Currently on in the car is Henry Blofeld giving a 2-CD speech. It is wonderful.
Here's one from Brian Johnson I did not know, when a dachsund ran onto the pitch one day. Johnners commented on its moves across the outfield and then announced "It's a fast bowler and I can tell you that for sure because it's good four short legs and its balls swing both ways."

It could be quite a shock for some people that film, there is a reasonable amount of artistic licence taken with his life but all in all it was worth a watch (and some great music)
