Hoping to get points off Arsenal, a reasonable run in one of the cups and at least seventh in the league. Last season was weird with that late run and would hope/expect to be top half from the start. Thank you Dougie, Ollie and Steve too.

Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course).

Hopes v Expectations

Hopes
1. We win a cup (yes I know we've already got the Stateside cup but...)
2. We smash the 50 points barrier and even the 60!
3. We win more games than we lose for the first time ever in the PL.

Expectations
1. We avoid relegation
2. We play a brand of football that is enjoyable to watch.

I would have him back. Funny as we used to be a yo-yo club. And we somehow have developed a yoyo player.

Is that a hope or an expectation?

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Without doubt the right target.
