The schedule's out! Really have a good chance to make some noise to start off the season, with a relatively easy schedule. Twice this season though we'll be playing the Arse and ManUre in back to back league games.

TWO MONTHS TODAY!!!! woo hooooooooooo!!!! thanks Monty! hey are you going to chicago and/or denver? I am going to both! it's my summer holiday for the year! (in case you couldn't tell i'm EXTREMELY excited!!!!!)
I was hoping they'd be at Goodison around Thanksgiving. Looks like that's when I'll be over that way...
Given our FA Cup results in recent years, is it even worthwhile to mention the FA Cup past January or so?
Looking at our first 5 games I think we should pick up maximum points. The game against the RS will be a tough one. Hopefully a top 5 finish again. The UEFA cup should be interesting as the players know what to expect this time around and hopefully we can go all way this time. The FA cup and League cup we always say it will be "our year" but always seem to fall against a lower league team. Anyway here's to a sucessful season COME ON YOU BLUES!!!!
