Yes, it’s far from perfect, yes footballers aren’t quite the role models that the Olympians have proved themselves to be and yes, it’s only a matter of time before the cheers for Andrei Arshavin turn into loud boos, but all of that will be gladly forgotten for now, because starting from today, our weekends are sorted for the next nine months.
Good to have you back, Premier League
