So here we are again, 2008 and all that. A new season with a pretty much a new team, quite a lot of the players from the glory days of the Allardyce era now having moved on. So we say goodbye to the likes of Stelios and Diouf and hello to Riga and Elmander.

And so the website gets a lick of paint too. Nothing’s changed other than the look. As is traditional at this point, I’m saying here and now I will update the blog more often. I’m planning to do so once every couple of weeks or so. Who knows, this time I might even stick to it...
