This time last year
We didn´t quite know,
Just what to fear
From friend or from foe

This time around
We´re wiser by far,
Which, pound for pound
Should help us make par

Those who were just
Still teething back then,
Have tasted the dust
And grown into men

Such is the way
Of this Premier League,
Until you have played
You don´t know fatigue

So having had
Our workout last year,
Over the new lads
We should find one more gear

How we will fare
Against all the rest,
I´d say we will dare
To give them a test

As we showed them all
Bar maybe a few,
Last year on the ball
As our stock it grew

And now with Garrido
Our latest recruit,
Our own `El Torpedo´
With a mean left boot

He´s joining a squad
Already strengthened well,
If given the nod
He´ll shine in the PL

So we should sing loud
And clear every week,
There´s much to be proud
Of here, as we speak

And the triple ´S´
´Second season´ thing,
As many may stress
Certainly won´t bring...

.. me a sleepless night
As we make our way,
With skill and with fight
Slowly towards May

Hughton and Co
Are now settled in,
All ready to go
With us for a spin

Starting today
In old London town,
Our first game, away
Not wholly unknown

Remember Wigan
And the point we gained,
It proved quite a big ´un
As then more we claimed

So, a good start
Whether one point or three,
Down in London´s heart
Would satisfy me. OTBC

Come on you Yellows!
 
RBF, you've just managed to ramp up my excitement an extra notch!
Can't wait to get under way now. As you say, this time last year it was a step into the unknown. This season's a different story.
It's going to be hard, but with a squad mostly blooded last year and young players who grew as the season went on, plus some good looking new additions, I'm quietly confident for the season.

Craven Cottage or not, I think we can pick up all three points today.
