    I see they’ve signed a highly-rated kid from Spurs on loan. On paper and according to the betting they’re one of the weakest sides but so are we. Excitement levels up to a 5.5 now.

    Based on nothing other than blind hope i predict that Celar plays up front today and scores our winner and goes on to score 20+ goals this season..

    I see your using reversed psychology with your methodology.
    The doctor concurs with your prognosis on the QPRology.
    Your Honour, the defence rest.

    Not much excitement about the season ahead, but first day of the season is always a bit exciting. I'll be frustratingly close to Loftus Road, but at a wedding...and yes, the groom has been reprimanded for allowing the wedding to be arranged for the first day of the season, and no, there won't be a live stream at the reception and apparently I shouldn't ask the bride why not...some people!

    It’s genuinely disgusting when people have their wedding during the football season. Or an international tournament. People just need to agree to a wedding window of every other summer. Missing Bristol City away for the 137th time for similar nonsense.

    No one should get married during the football and cricket season

    I missed the Newcastle 5-5 because of a wedding. Bastards!

    This is the argument I’ve made to the current future Mrs Bwood.

    Will get her down the registry office on a Thursday or something at some point once Sky have confirmed they aren’t moving Wigan v Barnsley.

    Hmmm….

    Rarely, if ever, have I gone to the first game of the season with less excitement and lower expectations. Which is great, because the only way is up.




    Hopefully.

    Remember going to Watford knowing we were in for a pasting against a mediocre side. Today we can feasibly beat or more likely draw to a mediocre side.

    I’m going expecting a poor game between 2 poor teams
    I am hoping we squeak a win
    I accept we have at least 3 key players missing
    I would love to see Nardi start
    I would love to see Celar start and score and be one of the pleasant surprises of the season
    I am expecting to enjoy watching Poku
    I would love it if Dembele was fit and lively on the other wing
    I would like to finally see the one they call Harvey Vale and see if he is something or nothing
    I await the new managers song and hope this one scans without the unnecessary swear word on the last line

    2 seasons ago we had the best injury record of any team in the 4 leagues
    Last season it was probably one of the worst
    Let’s hope for a good one

    I don’t want a manager who doesn’t make his first sub until the 84th minute
    I enjoyed not having one last year

    I live in hope as ever.
    This is not the worst squad we have ever had, especially if Saito returns

    It is just comfortably the most unbalanced

    I am hoping for more goals from midfield this year

    As the proclaimers once sang…. I’m on my way, from happiness to misery today. Uhuh

    could be a long bus ride back to Bristol this evening….

    thanks Wubba for the ticket and looking forward to catching up with the crew in DW beforehand.

    We did Marylebone Registry Office on a Thursday. I thought I'd cracked the system. Ends up that date drifts into the play-off weekend, been a few nervous seasons since!

    If nothing else it’s a truly lovely day in London.
