It's August 11th and thank goodness that today sees the start of the new football season. Since the end of last years campaign, I've had that horrible nothing-to-do-with-my-Saturday-afternoon syndrome.
Now though, I'm sat in the garden, laptop connected wirelessly to the BBC sport interactive live stream, and mobile phone tuned in to the local radio station for live commentary.
Can anything be better than a sunny afternoon and football?
