There's been plenty of football on offer in the last couple of weeks for those of you who are impatient for the summer transition to the new season. It started with the Eredivisie and then last weekend saw the kick-off to the English Football Leagues, as well as the new Bundesliga and Ligue 1 campaigns (more of which next week).
Today though is the big one, the quickest, most physical and most commercial of the world's domestic leagues- the Premier League is due to get underway. Millions of fans will go through the turnstiles this season and many more will watch on TV, ideally it would be the other way round, but that's another story.
President of FIFA and perennial xenophobe Sepp Blatter is often the subject of derision and criticism.
Tonight England will take on the Netherlands in an international friendly at Ajax's Amsterdam Arena, the fixture has been widely criticised and re-opened the club versus country debate. While I sympathise with the Premier League managers who have taken issue with such a match being scheduled only three days before the start of the new season, I still feel that tonight's game is of some value.
The anxious period of anticipation that some know as summer has finally segued into the new season and already there are talking points galore.
With the new season well and truly upon us, it’s about time we all shared our new season’s resolutions.
