For all the yellow and red cards. We missed you.

For all the right calls, wrongs calls and close calls. We missed you.

For all the good goals, bad goals and own goals. We missed you.

For all the offsides, dives and no goals. We missed you.

For all the Mike Dean antics. We missed you.

For coaches tantrums, Bench sulking. We missed you.

For all the transfer rumours and speculations. We missed you.

For all the parked buses, all out attacks and kitchen sink throwing. We missed you.

For all the big teams, small teams and new teams. We missed you.

For all the brilliant tactics, insightful analysis and funny commentary. We missed you.

For all the post-match comments. We missed you.

For all the skills, tackling and techniques. We missed you.

For all the penalties, Free kicks and saves. We missed you.

For all the days you weren’t here in the off season. We missed you.

Welcome back beloved football.
