Bah!

early sighter from AA.

Not a yellow for a total cheating dive?

YEEEEES! That Valery Djenepo partnership to set up JWP! 😀

Spontaneous

That's how quick it was. Too fast for our eyes to follow. 🙂

Ignite

I went with 14th last season. Overall, I'm more optimistic for this season. More strength in depth has been added. The new faces will all be pushing strongly for, or getting first team minutes. Hopefully, we'll have another striker on the way. I'm less concerned about the inexperience of the new signings, than I am about Ralph's tactics. The playbook got found out, and the back up went badly wrong. When RalphBall did work, it was great to watch. My concern is that the new approach won't enable us to reach those levels, while still conceding enough to lose games. But trusting Ralph as he's got a lot out of an underinvested side for good spells. Exhaustive research of seconds looking at each team means I'm going with 13th. Nearly went 12th but caught myself before getting carried away. 🙂

Champion

There definitely something in the Airdrie. 🙂

Match

With he title edit and your further edit, the next one will be reasons to be cheerful part 3 🙂

We Don't need Another Tella, as sung by well known Saints fan, Tina Turner. We don't need another Tella We need to know the way to goal All we want is life above The relegation zone 🙂

A trend that will have to change to twice in [insert time period based on optimism] at some point. Why not this season? 🙂 sorry, what... Young players to settle in... hopeless form for closing period of last season... No goals in that there team...sorry...my wifi must be on the blink... can't read your posts...🙂

Conte will have no answer to RalphBall v2.0. Battling 1-0 away win. If I can't be optimistic on the first game of the season, then when? 🙂

"I feel physically sick when I talk about the trial and what happened," said Mrs Vardy. I imagine that with therapy and support for her PTSD she'll somehow manage to milk it for all it's worth in articles, books, TV series and films. 🙄

Tough for us to pick a rival around us in the table. When RalphBall works we're towards the top end. When it doesn't, we're towards the bottom. Nearly everyone gets a shot at being around us in the table. 🙂

Let's hope our association with them doesn't result in us "helping with enquiries" like Leicester and Rangers. 🙂

Glad that no-one need ever know that he paid for kits. Oh...

Funereal black is not a good look for anyone with a bit of hope for the season ahead. The date in the black, gives it a headstone feel. Having "we march on" under it, just makes me think of shambling zombie movies. Mess. 🙂
