The anxious period of anticipation that some know as summer has finally segued into the new season and already there are talking points galore.

There are new managers, new players, new stadiums and new members of the football league, but some things never change. Ferguson is still moaning, (it’s the goddamn Community Shield, remember your blood pressure) Barton is still fighting anyone who comes within range, Bellamy is acting like a prick, there are still people out there willing to part with vast quantities of money for Peter Crouch and Newcastle United are still a “joke”.
