Anyway, to gain promotion we are going to have to win roughly half the games (23) and draw another dozen or so to be in the 80 point category. That would guarantee a play-off and pretty much 2nd or 3rd place so this season will definitely have a different slant to last year. My colleague here is a big Leicester fan and I had to sympathise in that they begin with Everton (H) and then Chelsea (A) Arsenal (H) Stoke (A) and you can see 4 games and no points as a real possibility and that means being behind the 8 ball immediately. I wouldn't swap to be honest.

Presumably he wanted to get to the Premiership and now he has his wish!

We all aspire to the Promised Land and when you get there you realise what a tough gig it is and maybe have second thoughts. Genuinely I am looking forward to this season more than the last couple and the novelty of being turned over week after week is not pleasant.
 
I'm um. let's just say older, on 24th August.

How nice to offset the pain of that with another three points in what is going to be a great season! <ok>

That's going to be one drunken Sunday in celebration of the previous day's result.
