Preamble
Good morning, hello and welcome. The Premier League is back. Stress, the Premier League is back. Not football. As that returned with QPR’s 3-1 win away to Portsmouth last week. An away-day victory to start the season, what a life.
Five top-flight fixtures for you today, plus a full allotment of Football League matches too. Hull take on Manchester United at 12:30 for the early kick-off but it’s Brentford v Spurs at 17:30 I’m really looking forward to. Which Tottenham will turn up this year?
Anyway, we’ve got all that and all the latest transfer news to keep you busy with. Join us and get in touch here!
