For an arl so-and-so like me seeing us up against teams like Ipswich and Forest again its hard not to get nostalgic. Back in the late 70's/early 80's when those clubs were managed by the Bobby Robson's and Brian Clough's of this world they were our biggest rivals. This time of year has always been a bit bitter sweet for me, on one hand you've got the melancholy of nights starting to draw in and a chill appearing in the air but on the other the footy season starting and things like Bonfire night, Halloween (or Duck Apple as we used to call it), Christmas and New Year looming up on the horizon which were big excuses to party and meet up with family and friends when i was younger. My partying days are well over these days but Slot's impressive start has meant there's a lot of optimism and positivity flying around atm, lets hope its still there tomorrow evening and the lads can do the business against this crowd tomorrow.
