Or maybe I'm just being nervous.
Yeah I know what you mean mate, everyone is expecting big things from us this year (including opposition fans and the media) and that's usually a cue for us to fall flat on our face, hopefully this group of players are made of sterner stuff and can cope with the weight of expectation.
We are even under a little bit of early pressure because of yesterday's results, all our main rivals won (bar City who play after us), even Everton had an impressive result, Wolves are fancied this year but Everton should have beaten them on their own patch despite playing more than half the game with a man less.
We started last season poorly and our title challenge was basically over by mid September, we don't want to make the same mistake this year so we need to come flying out of the blocks today.
