    It’ll always be the Charity Shield in our hearts.

    Interested to see how Lampard’s Derby get on. I have a friend who is a derby fan and he is extremely excited.

    Derby a rabble early doors. Shocked that Richard Keogh still gets games at this level, absolute bomb scare.

    When nuclear war finally breaks out and we're all scavenging and fighting off the undead, Dave Nugent will still be banging them home in the Championship.

    The mackems in the office are getting their hopes up a touch. Might actually keep an eye on them this season. George Honeyman is captain which sounds alright on paper. And in practice.

    Looking it up apparently we took a "9-day break" at some point in the MLS schedule for the World Cup this year but I didn't notice because we had a Cup match in that time.

    In 2014, when the US were actually in it, they took a "12 day break" at the beginning of the tournament as well.

    Which again, fucking useless as these dates generally line up with the first (MLS) round of the Open Cup anyways.

    Having seen the state of your weather in the winter I kind of get the seasonal nature of it but there's got to be a better way.

    Frank Lampard must be the least dislikeable top, top player we've had recently. Certainly the least dislikeable person so closely affiliated with Chelsea.

    I see Harvey Barnes has scored a screamer on his West Brom debut. Watch out for him, will be a proper player.

    Two penalties (in 96th and 98th minutes) saw Swindon scrape a 3-2 home win against Macclesfield. Not the most convincing of starts.

    Was a good day for goals galore. Didn’t win, of course, but still there were loads of goals.

    That is begging to be pushed over. I saw all the shit league goals on the telly in the gym, and it got me thinking how do you even approach new seasons as a fan of half the teams in the country? It struck me watching Rotherham get twatted, not least because the travelling fans will also return home to find their kids have been groomed, but apparently they have just been promoted so whatever.

    Their new sponsors are a boiler company. It's more and more of a thing now. When I went to Peterborough their sponsor was Mick George Skips, so naturally the mascot was a bloke in a hard hat, and the half time entertainment was trying to get someone with Down's Syndrome to kick footballs into a skip.

    Does that sum up how you think the season could go as well, @Magic?

    Good read on Bielsa: https://www.theguardian.com/football...marcelo-bielsa

    Yep. Inclined to think disaster because that's what we do.

    Man City’s midfield is about to be molested. Same for Chelsea’s full backs though.

    Hope Foden makes an impression this season. Too many decent English kids get swamped until they're getting game time in their 20s for Championship clubs.

    Seeing some guy called Evandro score for Hull made me think of Evandro Roncatto. Another back-in-the-day legend who never amounted to anything, it would seem.
