Hands Up: Who is actually optimistic?

So the season starts on Saturday, and this is the first season that I can remember as an Arsenal fan, that I have virtually no expectations of it.

Almost every season in the Wenger years, I’ve been optimistic in the week before the season that we will win something, and that we have a great chance to win the Premier League. Not this season. Generally, I’m a positive Gooner, and always believe in Arsene Wenger and the team. Even through my extremely biased rose-tinted spectacles, I’m struggling to see how we’ll win the league this season.

I’m definitely not saying it’s impossible to see our captain, whoever that is, lifting the Premier League trophy next May, but this pre-season has left me the least confident I’ve ever been that it’ll happen in the coming season.
