We’re just a few days into the season and what a great feeling it is to have football back in the world after the summer break!
From the moment I woke up on Saturday morning for the trip home for the Swindon game through to last night’s bonus MOTD it’s been a simply awesome week, reminding us of why we love the game so much. There’s an old saying that you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone but in this case, you really don’t know what you’ve got until it returns!
Swindon at home was a super day out while watching MOTD on Saturday night, albeit slightly drunk, was a blessing. I’ve never been happier to see Gary Linekar on the small screen. Adrian Chiles (above) doesn’t mean to be comical I’m sure but the only reason we sit down to watch the glorious MOTD2 on Sunday nights is to look out for brilliant Chiles comedy moments.
It’s going to take a lot to beat last season’s “they’re masticating in unison” comment from the Chilesmeister as he described two fans chewing gum in perfect symmetry but he began the season in style after Claudio Pizarro of Chelsea mispronounced the word “titles” by saying “we’re here to win a lot of TITTLES.” Cut back to Chiles and immediately he comes out with “I like Tittles.” Now this may not be funny to anyone else but it left us in hysterics for a good two and a half minutes and almost made me choke on a Jammy Dodger. Welcome back Mr Chiles, we’ve missed you!
If the weekend wasn’t enough, the Carling Cup was earlier than usual this season and Tuesday night’s victory for the Cobblers over Millwall sets us up for a possible glamour tie in this evening’s draw as all the Premiership sides that aren’t in Europe enter the hat. Portsmouth away would be perfect!
The Premiership was also back this midweek and Manchester United are now languishing in the bottom half. There’s not a lot of times we’re going to be able to say that this season and I for one expect them to come firing back on Sunday which sets up what should be an awesome Manchester derby. Straight after that, it’s Liverpool-Chelsea!
But first I have another outing with the Cobblers and the first away game of the season at Brighton on Saturday to look forward to.
Football, my friends, is back and better than ever!
