Most excited in years!!!!!!!!!

[My_Blood_Bleeds_Red]

I personally think we're gonna surprise many this season.

Joe Cole and Jovanovic are two great additions to the squad and I rate them as match-winners, not just squad players. We've lacked multiple goalscorers and these 2 will provide them goals.

Re: Dreambeliever. How can you say this is the most excited in five years, when you were the most blindly optimistic poster on this forum up until 2008, before you did a complete u-turn?

I always hoped we could. This season I believe we can. ;D

You believe we can win the league this year?

Actually I kind of agree with Dreambeliever. (Yes, I know.)

I'm not excited because I think we're going to win the league. But I'm excited about the FOOTBALL in a way I haven't been for a while.

Partly, I think the lack of expectation is a help rather than a hindrance. No one's tipping us for the title this season, quite rightly. But with reduced expectation comes added freedom.

We're out of Rafa's tactical straitjacket. And Roy may ultimately prove himself just as conservative and negative, but at this stage I'm still hopeful that he won't.

Perhaps most of all, I'm extremely fearful about the club's future. It's not implausible that this could be our last season watching players with the quality of Torres, Gerrard and Cole. Next season we might be in administration and be forced to field a team of youngsters. So that precariousness makes me appreciate what we have now a bit more than I have done recently.

I'll miss the Champions League, and it's a bit sad beginning a season without any realistic hope of winning the league. But I'm so sick of reading about ownership and leveraged buyouts and all that shit that I'm really looking forward to watching Liverpool Football Club play football this season.

I'm very excited now too, more than in years. I can still dream that we'll be great to watch and may even compete for honours.

Although the realist in me says we have little chance for the title and we're not in the Champions League, I'm excited to see what the changes will bring. I think we've had a pretty good transfer window, all things considered, and only time will tell what kind of approach Roy will bring to managing the club. I'm happy we've so far retained our best players, pleased with the players we've brought in, and cautiously optimistic about the ownership situation. Of course, it could all go tits up over the next few months but I'm certainly far more optimistic than I was last season.

I'm just excited because I believe that our football is going to be exciting to watch for the first time in a long time. Cole and Jovanovic are great starting IX additions and will prove pivotal against teams with the "park the bus" mentality.

We're only going to pick nine players against teams with 'park the bus' mentalities? Wow, now *that* is confidence!
