Last season we finished 4th, lost the playoff final and didn't get promoted; and people said we were lucky to get there. Now let me tell you something, after 46 games, there is no way that is luck. If we had won, the pundits would all be saying "they've done fantastically well, great football, etc. etc." but no, because we lost, we were "lucky."

Now this season everyone's saying what a struggle it'll be, and that we won't do as well as last time. That's just insulting. We didn't get the respect we deserved all of last season, and now this season it's as though all that business at Wembley didn't happen.

Oh well. If last season's anything to go by, then that can only work to our advantage. Premier League here we come!
