I was feeling a bit like this yesterday

After sleeping on it, I guess it's just the unusual feeling of going into the last 24 hrs of a transfer window with every box ticked. And ticked to a better level than I'd have believed when we lifted the trophy a few months ago.

No guarantees certainly, but it does feel like uncharted waters for us - and now the main worry is whether it will work and how much patience we'll all need to give them space to bed in. Those opening 3 games were a real f**ker and despite Arse being in a turgid state at the moment, they do have enough quality to nick a win.

Will probably relax a bit once we've got some points on the board.
