Is this the best build up to a first game ever?

    Well impressive, plus you can train them to walk on a lead..............agree some can look a bit like Brendan Cumberbatch, I would go for a more tabby version!

    Few people putting up here how others think we will struggle, ie Owen yesterday.

    Delighted virgin just announced BT sport free, so giving it a whirl, chat show on, Jason Roberts tore into us, one win in fourteen, answered by another panelist, argh but new team, they slated pdc ego and said his conference about needing that one player today was worrying.

    I for one think we will do ok, but are we all in rosé coloured glasses.

    I think we'll do well as we have the right people scouting for the players that we need.Paulo knows that he has to blend these players into a good side..and he will do!

    The summer before we finished 5th, everyone said we were going to get relegated. The following summer, we were part of the elite! The dickheads know nothing and they merely postulate.

    I'm away for a couple more weeks. Torn between wanting to be there and enjoying the south of France! Monaco on Saturday but I'll still be thinking about the match all afternoon!

    lets prove them wrong. CL at the least or PDC out.

    A nice mid table position without fear of relegation will suffice.

    PS, I was joking about Champions League. Not expecting that until the season after.

    Who the **** knows? Everyone's got an opinion. Fact is, it's gonna be massively different from last season.

    There's a whole new vibe, energy, call it what you will, around the club, and no one knows whether its gonna be a success or not. But one things for sure. It's gonna be a hell of a ride!!!

    If it succeeds, kudos to the board and PDC. If it doesn't, thanks for at least trying!!

    At this stage of the season we can all dream.
    That is the magic .
    I dream of enough success to make people ask what PDC has done to turn things around.
    I dream that passion, commitment and a professional attitude to the game will inspire an improvement in English soccer.

    As for the stats, they only apply if you compare like to like and nothing has stayed the same.
    Teams and managers are all different , how can they have any bearing on the future?

    Michael Owen, Jason Roberts!!!! I mean come on, not exactly the elite when it comes to footballing management are they.
    Let the doubters have there say and keep the faith imo....all will be revealed in the next couple of weeks.
    I for one believe this is exactly what the club has needed for years, a good cull of players, fresh ideas and a good work ethic.
    Bring it on!!!!!

    Half of these thick pundits don't have the brains to think for themselves, they learn for the tabloids or from a colleague who learnt it from a tabloid. We know how lazy the tabloids are.

    I was impressed with the running and harrying of Jimmy Mac in Wigan's game against manure, he really caused them problems in the first half/first hour or so. If this is any sort of indicator for the fitness of the squad, then we'll do OK - I think we have lost points in the last 15 minutes in quite a few games in the last 2-3 seasons as we've run out of steam, I think we'll see that reversed a few times this season.
