And the 2012-13 Premier League season is now underway.

Edit: Michu (Swansea) is the first scorer of the season with a goal against QPR.

Edit 2: Brett Holman makes his debut for Aston Villa.​

I loved how Rodgers looked so nervy during the match on the weekend.

Body language said it all.

Well, most of it is because "he's the NRL guy".

And I dislike NRL with a passion. So that might just be some sort of residual.


Plus, part of me wants football people in those positions - though from what I've heard, his new position is just administrative and the like... which doesn't really need 'football' knowledge I suppose...

Hopefully he does some good for the game then.


Personally, I can't wait to go to the Wanderers games. It's really kind of exciting to have a professional football team playing very close to where I live!

Sometimes it's a good idea to bring in someone from outside the sport because they will bring in new ideas.
