Hello and welcome to my football section

Just my thoughts on general football issues, mainly the English Premiership. Over here in Australia we have Foxtel (cable) and I can watch a bucket load of live games every week. Plus the Monday highlight show is the best hour of footie on TV. Well I’m a Manchester United fan and it’s nice to see then back at the top of their game. Any suggestions for content email me here.
