0958: As a few of you have already pointed out, it would be massively remiss of me not to make absolutely clear that we're already a week into the Football League season, and today sees 72 teams up and down the country either hoping to build on good starts or looking to make up for bad ones. As always, you can see the full fixture lists on this website.
Sandeep Mander from Maidenhead, via text on 81111: "Spare a thought for Spurs and Everton fans! While everyone is excited about the start of the premiership, it's just another boring Saturday for us!"0948: So what have we actually got in store for us today? Who's playing where on Premier League opening day? Here's a brief reminder: today we've got Blackburn v Wolverhampton, Fulham v Aston Villa, Liverpool v Sunderland, QPR v Bolton, Wigan v Norwich, Newcastle v Arsenal. Tomorrow sees Stoke v Chelsea and West Brom v Man Utd. Unfortunately, we've lost Tottenham v Everton on the advice of the police following this week's riots in London. Still a mouth-watering line-up though right?
Louis in Sussex, via text on 81111: "Best weekend of the year has finally come, I feel like a kid on Christmas morning"0930: I'm sure you fine folks out there are as excited about this as we are. So why not get in touch and let us know via Twitter or text (see the top of this page for details). You'll all have theories on who's going to win the thing, who might finish in the top four and who's destined for the drop, but why not offer us some of your more obscure predictions for the season? Will Joey Barton re-grow his moustache? Who's going to be the first manager given the boot? Will, like Jimmy Mistry said, the neutrinos mutate and bring an end to the world in 2012 right in the middle of Jamie Redknapp's half-time summary of Wigan v Stoke?
0912: There have been some dark days since then. Dark, football-free days with barely a mention of the beautiful game... well, apart from the Copa America, all the transfer stuff, pre-season friendlies, the Scottish Premier League starting early and the Football League kicking off last weekend. The point is though, the Premier League is back!
0905: Cast your minds way back, if you can, to 22 May 2011. Captain Jack Sparrow was lighting up our cinema screens for a fourth time, 3D TV was still in its infancy, a young crooner called Pitbull was at number one with his song Give Me Everything, featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack & Nayer, and Manchester United had recently been crowned champions of England for a record 19th time.
0900: Hello, good morning and welcome. I'm not sure if you've heard, but the Premier League is back. Yes, that's right folks, the big boys are back in town.
