Crikey that came around fast didn't it? This is one of the problems of being a parent to twins, life outside the house often passes you by rather quickly.
The community shield came and went without notice and now the Premiership kicks off today.
All the pubs around here seem to specialise in heroin over football so there's nowhere really go watch the events.
Perhaps when wifey comes back from work this afternoon and I need to copy our son's always convincing puppy-dog eyes and whisper about my need to add Sky Sports to our Tiscali TV package.
After all, I don't think I could stand another season with my main source of football being the whinging old blimp Alan Green.
Update: £22 to add Sky Sports. Not on your nelly Rupert.
