Welcome back to my TV

Well it is back and it feels like I have been reunited with my TV and my couch as I spent the weekend watching football.

For me the football season means reclaiming the TV and convincing the missus that I really do need to watch football all day. It started with Soccer am, followed by Soccer Saturday, flicking over to football focus occasionally, before watching the scores come in from 3pm then the Saturday evening game on Setanta, sorry ESPN, then football first on Sky Sports before finishing the evening with Match of the Day.

On Sunday I carry on where I left off, on the couch with the TV tuned to Sky Sports 1. Generally I don’t like watching Man United win but I made an exception as it was the opening game of the season followed by watching a woeful performance by Liverpool meaning I finished the weekend on a low, but hey I figure that is the one defeat of the season out of the way on the first week.

The Premier League is billed as the best league in the world and whether you agree or not it is certainly one of the most hyped. The Premier League no doubt offers great drama and entertainment that just can’t be scripted as well as some flowing football, and I for one am pleased it is back on the TV.

In all likelihood it will be the same top 4 with Man City pushing to break into the elusive Champions League spots but it will be a big ask of Mark Hughes' team to break the monopoly with his first real crack at it and experience counts for a lot in a title run in. The outcome maybe slightly predictable but it is the challenge for the title that is the big attraction worldwide and the battle for survival is always intriguing and there is no doubt that the season will keep me on the edge of my couch.

Anywho for a man that watches a lot of football I'm looking forward to another season of drama, dodgy decisions and pundits talking bollocks. At this stage of the season it's all about predictions so predictable here are mine
