Part of me enjoys the close season, its peaceful, tension free and don't have to dread the day after a loss. I make the most of the break - holiday (done), birthday celebrations that last at least a week (done), shopping (on-going), lay-ins (on-going), just generally chillaxing with friends and family.
Having said that, I am looking forward to the start of the season, as although I should know better, I'm still hoping that This Is The Season that we win a trophy, finish above Le Scum, keep our manager, unearth the bargain of the century, any of the above!
