It's incredible how every season follows one of two patterns: - Disappointing close season, good start to the new season, team falls off due to injuries/general rubbishness in the latter half and we sweat about finishing fourth OR disappointing close season, horrendous start to the new season, panic amongst the fans and the team pulls their fingers out in the second half of the season and we sweat about finishing fourth. Despite the optimism this close season, we seem to back in pattern. Just hope we get a result from Besiktas, else the next three years could be really ugly.
