Monday night was disappointing, we all know that. The performance wasn’t expected but I can’t help but feel it would’ve been very different had we had a full strength squad out there.

At last it’s our turn to kick-start our Premier League campaign, but a trip to Stamford Bridge isn’t going to be easy.

After such an incredible performance against Blackburn last weekend, it’s no Big Sam’s turn to feel the wrath of Dimitri Payet.  A lot has been made of whether the fans should boo Big Sam on Saturday afternoon – personally I think he should be commended for the job he did for us, but of course

As the last historic season at the Boleyn Ground it has certainly developed into one of the most exciting we have seen for a long time.
