Week 00: Ticks On, Kicks Off

The Excitement: What'll he be wearing?! 
As another English Premier League football pre-season quietly ticks on to an over-expectant Football Focus, what we're all actually wondering is of course what phantasmagorical facial follicle fup uck will The Lad Lineker be trying to get away with as the season kicks off into a full blown Match of the Day.

We're thinking toothbrush 'tache.

He'll blame it on Movember, of course, but enjoy it while we can - it looks like The Big BBC Shake-up could well reduce the primacy of the premier Premiership coverage to a Facebook page, a few Tweets and a sixty second round-up at tea-time hosted by Konnie Huq.

Yup.  That's what we're bleakly forecasting without a shred of evidence.

Meanwhile, back in the real world...

...out on bail and already planning his next fantasy reign of terror is Our Most Gracious Chairman.

Having bunged his way to the top and also having promised to root out the 'cancer of corruption', OMG Chairman is in rude health.  Very rude.  The last week has been mainly spent splitting infinitives and fiddling with yet another remote control trying to discover how to persuade the digital video recorder to work in time for Saturday night's flagship football show.

And He's really looking forward to 10.20pm when he'll be firmly balancing his pint of gentleman's pop on top of his belly-bulge.  But if last season is anything to go by, He'll be spending most of Match of the Day stifling yawns and fighting off the heavy sleep that He inevitably plops into an hour before the credits roll - before the usual panel of slapheads begin their nonsensical analysis of the opening match if the truth be told.

And it's never certain the truth WILL be told.  Not in this irregular weekly missive.

But there we go.

Now go pick a team.  The usual rules apply.  This season we'll begin scoring after the second Saturday.  It gives everyone a chance to have a peek at the footballing goods before committing to the inevitable 11 idiots.

Go on.  Off you toddle.  Use this link if you need to... http://j.mp/SelectYourTeam.
