Normally around now I cant wait for the season to start. This year, I'm a bit flat about it, not quite "can't be bothered" but heading in that direction. I reckon its probably becuase of the Olympics, becuase there are more reasons than most to be excited about the up coming season.
Am I the only one?
Don't get me wrong, i suspect it will change the moment I come out of White City on saturday, but right now, i keep forgetting its that close! |  |

The last time I felt that way I didn't bother to go to the first game. Won it 4-0, promoted as Champions.  |  |

i wasn't fussed about the new season at the weekend with Olympic fever going on but after a few days without 24 hour live sport on tv I can't wait for the football to start again |  | | |

Good weather at the moment.
General feel good factor after the Olympics.

Well I'm 55 so I'm not sure if my input counts.
But to answer your original question; I'd say I'm slightly cautious of over expectation.
I think we'll do well to have 4 or 5 points after the first five games and am worried that the reaction of those supporters that are excited/expectant will turn too soon to negativity.
In fact when you look at the opening fixtures it soon becomes clear that Swansea becomes one of those "must win games" that everyone was banging on about last year.
A loss on the opening day could see mass hysteria.
Looking forward to the new season - yes; excited - no. |  | | |

I can't wait. The longing isn't as bad as previous years because I've had the Euros and Olympics to distract me but fck me I'm sick of pretending to care who can swim the fastest now and I want to get back to the serious business. |  | | |

I can't go on Saturday which i'm pretty annoyed about but i'm really looking forward to the new season.
No reason to suspect Hughes and his coaching team can't turn us into a solid, formidable mid-table outfit, plus the signings of Hoillet, Park and Diakite give us a bit of glamour too.
Expectations are high but i think unless we are rock bottom after 10 games people will be happy to see how things go. | | | |

It seems to have come upon us quick with the Euro's and Olympics squeezed into the summer.
This week though have been excited and cant wait for the season to start. |  |

I'm looking forward to Saturday. The only thing that makes me nervous is the back 4, IMO we are a CB short and they haven't had enough time to play together. |  |

This, more or less. I'm still recovering from the Man City game to be honest.
We look like we could be great going forward, but still only a couple of serious injuries away from struggling. I'm already worrying about Ale's knee... If we're safe before the last three games I won't be unhappy.
Still, can't wait for livestream Saturday  |  |

Well I for one can't wait! Can't wait to see the new signings, can't wait to get back to LR, I feel like I'm a kid waiting for Christmas!!
And no, I don't for a moment think I have unreasonable expectations - if we improve on last year's finish, that'll do me. Anything more would be gravy.
Come on you Rs!!! |  | | |

I've always been excited about seasons as they approach -- every single one of the 28 or so I've been going
How any football fan doesn't look forward to a new campaign is beyond me - be it gallows dread, unrealistic hopes or confidence
BRING IT! |  |

Anyone who isn't excited about walking down Loftus Road on Saturday for the start of the new season is weird. |  |

I'm even more excited about Saturday's game now, the thought of bearing witness to Stéphane Mbia's enormous unshackled knob wrapping Itself around Danny Grahams throat and throttling the bastard has got to be worth the entrance money alone. | |
