So, here we go again, just 38 days to go before the start of the new season, and 5 days until our first friendly.
Most teams are back in pre season training now, using this prescious time to incorporate their latest additions into the team, and to get accustomed to new styles of play and tactics.
This gives the manager and training staff a good idea of his preferred team that will be starting on the 12th August.
Players will be at peak fitness by then, to start the season in tip top condition.

We on the other hand, like last season don't need all that fucking about.
Pre season training has yet to be announced, but I'm sure they will have a Skype meeting before their first game on Monday night.
No need to introduce the newbies to the rest of the team as there are none.
New styles of play and bind boggling new tactics that need time to incorporate into the team, for us is just another inconvenience as it is simpler to stick to what we and every other team in the league, after 3 seasons, are used to.
Of course we will be able to use the same excuse as last year after we have lost the first 3 games on the bounce, " We were not ready" ....
Yet another defibrillator has been brought in by the medical staff after a successful bid on eBay to, god forbid, be available for our ageing squad in the case of any medical emergency during training or match days.
Anyway enough of the preseason hype and down to the nitty gritty..... The games
