Did someone say football?

There was some tittering going on the other day about football season having begun. One such titter seemed to indicate that Sir Alex and his men had a pleasant outing against Everton despite Rooney and another said Chelsea didn't against Wigan (who?). Really.

The Premiership should be happy to consign itself to second fiddle for another month. Until then, I'll take high voltage Ashes action over watching an impotent Toon side struggle against the Wolves or whoever else managed to extricate themselves from the sub-basement last season, thanks very much.
