We are top of the league - a lifetime event

My football/soccer team is Southampton.
I went to me first match and sat on my Dad's lap at the age of 6 (3-2 home win vs Stoke) and have since then:
Seen my team get promoted and relegated; win the FA Cup; nearly go out of existence; move stadium; stay in the league by dint of last game heroics (and others failings).
It's often been said that we can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
I was on their books for a few years (not good enough in the end) and my brother, one of my sons and one of my nephews have all dabbled on the playing staff without making the first team.
For all the ups and downs, triumphs and disasters, they are my team.
Yesterday, we beat Newcastle at home (2-0) and we are
TOP OF THE PREMIERSHIP FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER
Probably will not be by the end of the day, but for now, we're looking down on the "big" clubs..
At risk of straying into the political, the club produced a picture on Twitter. It's the Prem table, us at the top, and headed "Stop the Count".
