This entry will only focus on the Premiership but if you want to comment about your team’s signings, or anything else about the transfer window, then post it below.

I’m not sure if the novelty of going to new places, trying new things and meeting new people when you first started hitting the town has worn off, or if I just need a big night to restore my faith.

I am just about to dose off to sleep after reading when there is a huge crash against my far wall. At that moment I thought that some drunk had smashed into the wall next door, but the room continued to shake. My next thought was earthquake.
