You know, first day of the new season, endless anticipation, fathers and sons going to the game, meat pie, pint of ale, will he score? Back of the net, take a bow, isn't it? Mmmm? You know, Mmmmm, jumpers for goalposts, dirty knees, backwards running by the referee, marvellous

First day of the new season.

[stackpole]

The first day of the new season was last week. You must have been asleep.

Since the first lot of league games we have had our first managerial sacking, the first England international, the first round of the league cup, the first Suralex rant at a ref, and the first Scotland football team disaster.

Sorry lower league fan.

Sorry lower league fan.

You're forgiven, glory-hunter.

Actually, I follow all football. I don't ignore everything outside "the premier league".

Can't be a glory hunter, being a spurs fan.

I must admit I keep an eye on the championship, and Luton Town, that's about it. Always have a soft spot for the underdog. Keeping a keen eye on Burnley this season.

Your allegiance sir?

Your allegiance sir?

Did I just hear the sound of a bottle being broken against a wall?

Let the games begin!

Only cos I slipped on the wall mounted bottle opener. Hate football violence. Just wondering who in the lower, poorer, less able leagues stackpole supports. Guessing he's a toon fan.

In which case, cheers for Bassong.

Don't get caught with the small boys in the park ..

Oh no. not another sports season opening! Te deum.

Wimbledon and numerous other indistinguishable opens, Ashes, numerous crappy athletics things, Olympics, Commonwealth games, snooker, European and World cup football etc etc. It never ends.

In our house I never get to watch anything on TV 'cos wife and no 1 son are watching some tedious sport or other. It wouldn't be so annoying if not for the fact that I am the only one in the house who ever does any exercise.

PS And he supports Portsmouth. I ask you.

PPS I used to support Crystal Place in younger days. By support, I mean I went to two matches and stayed awake for almost one of them
