Footbal happiness ......

Yes I accept it is not earth shattering news, and the 08/09 football season is still some weeks away, but I can't help smiling at the news that the 2008-2009 season on Sky Sports will start with the Arsenal v WBA game. Yes, Sky need the quality teams on the box to get the season off to a flying start, and obviously to maximise the advertising revenue with the Baggies global brand!

Tom Bodden of the Daily Post will already be quaking at the 2nd game - WBA v Everton as the aggregate score in the Baggies last Premiership season was 6-2 to the Albion (I don't often mention that useless fact in front of the Blue noses in my house!).

Martin, this is very sad - you really need to get out more! Anyway, Bristol City v Derby is also on Sky on August 16th

Kick off 12.45 (I think) so, as always, total optimism up to that point - the season then goes downhill fast!
