This Sunday was fairly familiar for me. I was sporting a cracking hangover and woke up wondering what happened the previous night. The ‘Big Clash’ of the day, as usual, didn’t match the hype that it was given. Patrice Evra failed to remember he’s a great left-back against Chelsea and an angry Scotsmen made more comments about a referee.

Whatever happened to the ‘Golden Generation’? They seemed to kick up a fuss a few years ago without ever doing anything. They even gained a reputation by not winning anything. Apparently Sven wasted them and we missed our chance.

Forget about the World Cup next summer. Forget about South Africa and forget about the limited amount of beds that await the world’s football fans there. Forget about Fabio Capello and his impressive managerial record and the inevitable column inches that will concern Micheal Owen this summer.

The Championship season is well under way and it will be a fascinating tussle for the teams who are battling it out for a big juicy slice of the pizza that is the Premiership.

The transfer window is open and come teatime on 31st August we shall all be glued to Sky Sports news (whilst comprising our Top 3 female presenters obviously) and praying that the yellow ticker at the bottom of the screen flashes with a big name or that new wonder kid from South America who is having a medical at our club.
