Happy Hump Day everyone. The important thing is that we are 72 hours away from another football match. This time it will be Roberto Martinez's home opener, always a special occasion. Hopefully we can replicate last year's season where I think we only lost 2 games at home, I can't quite remember. All I remember is that home games normally mean happy drunks, not sad ones.
