It is August once again and if you are anything like me then that means one thing: football is back. It is a time of year which brings with it optimism and pessimism, hope and dread, as we get ready to ride the 38-game rollercoaster again.

The break has refreshed us enough only to once again succumb to both the joyous highs, and crushing lows our teams put us through between now and May.

However you are feeling about the start of the season, I am sure most of us will agree that it is always good to have the football back, and a relief to have made it through the summer break, often dubbed the longest two months of the year.
