Hello everyone,
This has been another big day for the Club with the unveiling of our new Boleyn Kit 2015/16 for the final ever season at the Boleyn Ground.
It is based on our first ever kit at the Boleyn back in 1904 and I think it looks fantastic.
I am sure all the fans are going to enjoy wearing it in a memorable last season for the Club.
I know all the fans have been excited by the announcement of the new fixtures this week and we have got a big London derby to kick the season off and then a few hard away games to follow.
I know our record against Arsenal has been disappointing over recent years but it is about time that changes.
Sometimes the big teams can have a slow start to the season and hopefully we can capitalise on that when we go to Emirates Stadium.
It will obviously be Slaven's first Premier League game in charge and from what I have heard he will be relishing the chance to pit his wits against the big managers and will want to get off to a good start so hopefully that will work in our favour.
We then have two home games to follow against Leicester and Bournemouth and I'm sure the fans will be hoping to see some points on the board early on in the season.
I know the fans will be behind Slaven and it will be great if we can start the campaign on a good note. We have to travel to Liverpool at the end of August and it is about time we break our poor record at Anfield.
We need to have the mentality to go and attack teams like Liverpool and build some momentum. I don't think we need to be scared of playing these big teams anymore.
All eyes are then on our final ever home game against Swansea on 7 May. Swansea are a very good team and it will be a difficult match but I'm sure all the fans are looking forward to what will be an emotional day for everyone involved at the Club.
It could be the last time that I get to kick the ball into the back of the net on the famous old pitch.
The transfer speculation continues to surround who we could bring into the Club. I know that my dad is working extremely hard to bring in new players and we are trying to get value for money.
We could buy someone for £15m but it has to be right for the football club and we are not panicking as there are still seven weeks to go before the Premier League season gets underway.
I am sure we will be signing more players in the next few weeks.
The players will be back for the start of pre-season training and it is great to see Andy Carroll back on the training pitch.
He has not gone on holiday through the summer and has shown a real commitment to the cause by working hard on getting back to his full fitness.
We will hopefully have a lot of competition for places in the striking roles and it will also be great to see Diafra Sakho back in action.
He had a great first season in England and I know Teddy Sheringham told my dad last season that he is prolific every day in training so hopefully he can be back among the goals once again.
There is a lot of excitement surrounding the draw for the Europa League which is made on Monday and I cannot wait to see who we will be facing.
I look forward to speaking with you all again soon.
Jack
