A new Premier League season and a year ago nobody saw this one coming. Leicester City will start as defending champions, Jose Mourinho is no longer at Chelsea but at Manchester United while Burnley have been buying players from the team that knocked England out of Euro 2016.
Anyone who had a bet on any of those last summer will no doubt be relocating to the Seychelles. The rest of us will look ahead to another season of English football that we hope will be just as rewarding as the one that finished 91 days ago.
After another disappointing summer for our national team, a return to domestic action feels overdue.
