Did you go mate? Well, hopefully we're saving up the good performances for when the 'real' stuff begins...

No I didnt. I like teh way Vernon is scoring a few- couldnt hit a barn door from 6 yards last season and will no doubt be the same come August
ooohhJohnnieJackson
Yep, had a poor season but really hope he can find form this season. Up the U's!
