Well, 2016/17 gets under way this afternoon. For those of us who follow our favourite teams, what are your hopes/fears for this season?

After two consecutive promotions (and with virtually the last kick of the last game of last seson sealing it for us) I'm getting excited but realistic about Rovers' chances this season. It'd be nice to consolidate our place in league 1 and not have our fate decided on the last day of the season as it has been for the last three years.

Anyone else getting excited? (Non footie fans need not comment, Ian! Wink)

Wow !!

6  league  games  down,  9  points  &  10th  in  the  league

the  seasons  fair  flying  by  and  we're  not  fighting  against  're-election'  as  it  used to  be  called  Laughing

 

Sad  Just  spent  half  an  hour  watching  In ger  land against  Slovakia  --  think  I'd  rather  watch  my  P.C.  doing  re-starts  after  an  up-date  Gawd  it was  awful   Sad

I'm still watching it. Grim, very grim.

Just got back from a week away without getting the telly out. Am I glad that I didn't have to watch it. The wag in my paper said Big Sam was good at chewing gum though so all is not lost . On the serious stuff the Terriers sit top of the division with 13 points out of a possible and 15 . It's off to Elland Road on Saturday to play the "damned united" so we could come well unstuck. On a more positive note the squad players who haven't had much game time yet beat Liverpool in a friendly behind closed doors last week, Milner and Firmino were in their team .

We play the "damned United" at the weekend, too. Manchester derby, at The Swamp. And without Sergio Aguero, I fear we could well come unstuck, too. No good for the nerves....

I was looking at an article in the paper which said this was the most expensive derby match ever played. Over £600million between the two teams in transfer fees , the world has gone mad. By comparison we've just broken our transfer record buying a defender for £1.7m

Agree, totally crazy. And the 2 players I'd like to see feature in the Derby, Marcus Rashford and Kelechi Iheanacho, cost about twopence together. OK, maybe a few K more than twopence, but you know what I mean!

Good luck with the big game against Leeds.

Thanks and here's hoping City can put one over the Reds. My OH is a dyed in the wool City fan

Well Pliers what a day that was. I can't believe what a good start we've made. Nice to see Mourinho put in his place
