I must be in the minority. This season is much more fun. Arriving at a ground, home or away and trying to guess if we will score 40 or 50 is much better than going to a game, wondering how many we will lose by, looking at the results of other teams hoping they lose so we don't fall to the bottom.
On one of the other points, it is making the away games much more enjoyable. Travelling to Wigan hoping whoever is on their wing doesn't score "yet another hatrick" to, let's sit on the righthand side to watch our winger scoring yet another hatrick!
Long post, but in short, this season is fun fun fun!
