Sorry but I ain't particularly looking forward to it. It's got all the makings of going very toxic, very quickly.
Fans are all aware that the club is wading through treacle. The disappointment and feeling that we are transitioning away from the ambitious, bright and much envied club we have been over the last few years.
Frustration that there is no new blood for fans to be enthused about.
Then you start with a home fixture that just says we have to take 3pts. With Arsenal away next up, there is definitely pressure on this opening game.
Given the banter with regards to our lacklustre style of play, which directly goes back to BR, I can see patience being sorely tested especially if Brentford get their teeth in.
I hope I am hopelessly wrong, I hope we put in an enterprising shift and we run out comfortable winners, but I just see big alarm bells ringing.
I just feel like club is stale.
How many of our top players still have the desire ? With the transfer speculation, Is the team going to pull in the same direction?
Will the same personal that failed so miserably at defending set pieces have learned anything? They couldn't get it right for the whole of last season, so how can you be confident that anything will change?
Kick me for saying all this, but apart from those with the strongest blue tinted specs, surely most fans must have concerns with the current affairs?
