the new football season - it's the hope that kills you

The new season is starting and as usual, l'm a mixture of being a very positive person regarding life in general, and a very pessimistic person regarding Manchester United's fortunes. Of course you have to support your team through thick and thin, and they have actually made some decent signings. Do l think they have a chance of winning the League?  Frankly, not a chance in hell. On the other hand, that hasn't prevented me from putting a £10 bet on them to do so, just in case (and for bragging rights if they do). As usual, it's the hope that kills you, but l can't wait for Sunday afternoon's game against Arsenal. Luckily l have Monday off to recover and dry my tears.
