Would have preferred Hellas Verona which is the team I support in Italy. And a good summer book suggestion "A season with Verona" by Tim Parks an English author who moved in Verona in the 80s and wrote a "travel novel" presenting Italy through his experience from attending all away games of Hellas Verona in series A 2000 season. Of course he has written some other equally good books with his latest one about Italian railways.

Be interested to see how we do in pre-season. I remember me and a few others bickered, i suppose, with JulieMoores on pre-season. She saw it as fitness only training with the results being meaningless. I disagreed, though the results were meaningless the way we played I thought spelt out the danger we were in with Dougie at the realm. We weren't scoring, we were not creating, we weren't finding passes and we looked completely disjointed. Roll on the first 10 games of the season(both seasons) and guess what? we weren't scoring, weren't creating anything and losing week in week out.
I suppose winning friendlies doesn't mean much but losing them is an indication of things to come. I can't see Lennon letting them lose any game. We'll see.

The results don't count maybe but performances do. We never looked a team in pre season and that continued in the real games. The pre season matches should surely be used to build the teamwork, gain confidence and improve fitness. Get all those right and results will follow naturally.

Exactly, its like sparring in boxing. It means for nothing on the big night but if you're going into sparring and getting knocked around and out the ring I wouldn't fancy that you'll do that well when it counts.
Fixtures out soon aren't they? I have a feeling it will be a home game(must be) against Forest.
