    Never!!! league 2 players, league 2 manager, delapidated ground, the Don is useless, Mido is fat, trialists are pointless, Perkins runs too much, Mcnulty passes too much and we don't have the money to buy Messi.

    Or summat like that.

    Probably after we have won our first 5 league games on the spin or failing that when we have signed some talismanic footballer around October time.

    Michael Owen signs October 2nd.

    1996/1997 we signed 2 Middlesbrough rejects, and we were promoted.

    1999/2000 we signed a Middlesbrough reject, and we got to the playoff final.

    2012/2013 we've signed another Middlesbrough reject.........

    I think we're going to have a good season. I wouldn't put any money on us going up but I have a feeling we're in for a good season.

    I agree, think we'll be OK this season although it's difficult to decide without knowing what the squad is. I can never understand how people can decide a football team is **** without knowing who the team will consist of.

    Have to agree with you MarioKempes. I don't know why but I have a gut feeling we'll do ok.

    I don't think our issue was winning the ball last year, I think it was failing to retain it and use it well in the 2nd half of the season. The signings brought in to date are a good bunch I reckon and given time I think we'll be shown to have a better deeper squad than last term by the time 31st August has been and gone.

    I agree

    It is. That's probably because I don't post much these days, rather than because of differences of opinion. I know you agree with me on most things apart from about penguins.

    Its ok to start believing now! - Hill will be better for the experience of last year. We have goals in the team - Davies, Mido, Mellis, Etuhu and Done. Perkins could do with someone just as good next to him but Digby and other youngsters could break through as well. We need Steele fit and perhaps a leader at the back but maybe a fit Edwards could do that.
    The main thing is that we are together as a group. That includes supporters we should be thinking about how we can help with non stop support and noise both home and away. We need Peterborough at home from the stands every single match.

    Well deranged Leeds fans think Howson and Snodgrass have made massive mistakes in joining Norwich, and Leeds will pass them at the end of the season. If they think that, then why not us. We might even let them have a point this season
