    That's what I'm seeing too I think our good start has banished the misery of last season and there'll be a cracking atmosphere. I don't expect the players to let us down they know what they're doing.

    For me mate it's like a new start. We all know the rots been there for 4 years, we've gone down, expected the worse and somehow ended up with a gaffer who gets the club and a side full of fight and a bit of ability.

    It's more than we expected and I, and I'm sure a few more, have started to rediscover my love for the club.

    It's like getting back with that ex who knew exactly how to please you without the baggage.

    Viva the championship (for 2 season max...)

    It makes us sound like simpletons but it's true that give us a team that works their arse off to win games and we're happy. Not had that for a while but we have now, it's borderline unbelievable how much we've improved under Grayson considering we've spent about £9.99 on players. Fair play to him and Bain.

    250k for McGeady man.

    That's a superkev bothering deal that man, he cost 350k but in this market?

    We've landed on a man I didn't want on any level in Grayson, and I ****ing love the bloke. He's got an air of Dyche about him and look what he's done for Burnley.

    It all feels right at the minute, and I believe we will strengthen.

    Bain seems areal ****ing asset, above our current station.

    I know when we got Grayson I thought it was going to be grim as **** but I couldn't have been more wrong.

    I was ****ing foaming mate. Absolutely foaming.

    As it stands, I'm thinking I hope he's given 3 years to Phoenix the club, regardless of ups and downs.

    Right now, I don't expect us to win tomorrow. We're still having to get with this level of football. We've had a good start but there'll be tougher games to come, and I see tomorrow as being one of them.

    If we win tomorrow, then I'll be more optimistic about this season.

    Still hedging my bets.

    It's on sky so there will be tons of streams. Still going to get a sky day pass for break from trying many **** streams to find the best. My laptop is an OAP and finding it harder to cope with streams by the week.

    Back from holiday, things seem to be looking good, Leeds could be a difficult one they have been improving over the last couple of seasons

    I was at that match (where Berts chin was prominent) :emoticon-0100-smile . . . . and I've been there since, when I didn't enjoy it as much (Barry Green's (who ?) fault entirely, in this F.A.Cup game, being shown up by a diminutive young D.J.) :emoticon-0101-sadsm
    I remember that I could only find three of the apparent four pubs 'at each corner' mind !
    Anyway, this is the start of a new era under Larry's control, and I (hope) expect us to win against a rather 'hitty-missy of late' Leeds later today . . . . after I've been to see 'Sheels beat Bridlington in the F.A. Cup, of course :emoticon-0105-wink:
