f***ing Sky!

The all knowing Sky Sports News has us down as favourites for the drop according to the studio guests last night on the Transfer show along with the 3 new teams. Honestly I have started watching games on any Channel I can find rather than listen to the dross this s*** channel puts out. Being that most of the year we will be the 2pm on a Sunday kick off we can look forward to Glenn Murray as co comms or the Dreadful Alan 'I worship Arsenal' Smith... and if we are lucky Merson talking bollocks before and after the match.

Obviously and goes without saying that scoring goals is going to be a problem for us this season. We can't over rely and expect Sarr to hit 20+ again.
Bed that with the defensive frailties we appear to have inherited- it doesn't exactly blend well(not scoring and conceding easily) so I can understand where 'pundits' are coming from.
Marry that with our obsession with hovering around the 12th position.

I however, personally think we will have a decent season. And that's without my tinted glasses. First 6 games to the season is always silly season and I predict Everton to be top of the table after the 6th match. So that alone examples 'silly season'

We have a lot of options wide, and a strong CM. It's whether players other than Sarr step up and help chip in with goals.
