Nice post taken from - I think Betfair - via Pink Un site...

' The country is going to the dogs and the mps are going on holiday. We've had terrorist cowards in London, racist cowards in Liverpool and tornadoes in Brimingham. It's been a bloody awful summer, and now the rain looks like it's here to stay until autumn. We've had the Gerrard saga, the Essien saga, the Owen saga, the Keane saga and the Rio saga.

But praise be to whatever God you call yours. In just five short days time, the greatest league on Earth will kick off. Brighton, Burnley, Cardiff, Coventry, Crewe, Crystal Palace, Derby, Hull, Ipswich, Leeds, Leicester, Luton, Millwall, Norwich, Plymouth, Preston, QPR, Reading, Sheff Utd, Sheff Wed, Southampton, Stoke, Watford and Wolves. 24 of the finest teams ever to grace the premier competitive league in England if not the world. Clubs which can be proud of an intelligent, knowledgable and loyal fan base that would be the envy of so-called big clubs like Man U, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool...

A special welcome to the fans of Crystal Palace, Hull, Luton, Norwich, Sheff Wednesday and Southhampton, and welcome back to everyone else. Let the proper football commence!'
