At this stage I don't believe that even Shez knows his starting lineup or formation. Fully expect two new players in this coming week. I'm up for the game and definitely up for the season ahead. This time next week I hope that Sunday brunch is going to be going down just fine...please... This time in about 12 weeks maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLDHAM MUMPS Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Don't want to be labeled a pessimist but this time next week any or all the following could have happened... We sign 2 keepers and a midfielder but the stuff up in the paperwork means they cant be registered till January, Crowd get food poisoning from being served last seasons pies The council close the north stand due to acoustics disturbing the neighbourhood A bloke called Barry fleeces the club out of the season ticket money and we go into receivership Connor Brown is resigned as a loan to cover that all 6 right backs at the club have broken their legs Shez is jailed for stealing presents because his kids did not get any last year All the strikers are sold for an undisclosed fee to pay for a new scoreboard Hey it's latics - the spinal tap of football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, United are playing Sampdoria the day after, at a Neutral Venue, presumably in USA, so it will be their Academy side and anyone (I don't think there is) who hasn't gone on their annual pre-season jolly to the USA. Might get a look and see who will be worth a loan enquiry, and a few armchair reds who will go along, but that's about it. To be honest I can't see a lot of our first team playing all game, with the exception of Gardner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusunga_Is_God Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 First game of the season rarely gives an insight as to how the season will pan out par Millwall last season. Hopefully they put a good shift in but I won't be too miffed if they lose, Sheff U lost their first game last season and Bradford drew 0-0 with Port Vale!

I pretty much agree with the above and the 'it's not all doom n gloom' if we lose ... but for once it would be nice to hit the ground running so to speak! how does the saying go?

But as his season fell apart at the same time as ours, I had a sneaking feeling it could happen Fair enough, but this was in reponse to season reviews, os at the start of the season. So, what are your predictions for this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeroyboy Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hallelujah! After 13 weeks of confusing Saturday with Sunday I get my life back. I'm only expecting a fair to middling season but a 3-0 win on opening day, putting us top of the league for a week, would be magic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetramfixer Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 (edited) personally speaking I can only think of the embarrassment i was subjected too when we played Oxford at their ground (promotion season iirc) and we got smashed 5-1 ... made worse by living down there at the time and taking a group of RAF mates to the match! i know we have played them since, but that game always seems to be the 'last' game for me ... so consequently nothing but an emphatic victory along similar lines will suffice! .. i wonder what odds I'd get for that exact score? lol Edited August 2, 2017 by thetramfixer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
