I know that the game against Southampton is an important one, if we want to maintain our league position, but it would also be special for me for a very different reason. I was informed today that a very good friend of mine died in Greece and that devastated me. It is one of these moments that you realize what life is all about. Football is a great game, but it is only a game. However once I get on the pitch I will only focus on the game and what I need to do to get my team to win. I hope that our fans will enjoy another 3 points tomorrow.
