Its back!!

After a long summer the footy is finally back and the has been plenty of previews passing through the Football Filter.

THE TELEGRAPH previews the opening Premier League weekend while JUST FOOTBALL gives us a team-by-team season preview, very handy.

However THE GUARDIAN puts a dampener on the new season excitement by suggesting the new year has a feeling of normality about it already. Spoil sports.

The first managerial casualty has already emerged. Norwich boss Bryan Gunn has been given the boot after just ONE league game! Ok it was a 7-1 defeat at home to Colchester but why give Gunn a whole pre-season and allow him to bring his players in if you won’t even given him a few games to get going?? Anyway an article at WHEN SATURDAY COMES, written the day before Gunn got the boot, picks through the wreckage that was the Canaries disastrous start to the season. As D-ream said: Things can only get better….

Don’t forget the ladies! We may have half an eye on the World Cup next summer but the women’s European Championship takes place in Finland this month and UEFA.COM takes a look at England’s odds.

This one is maybe for the Norwich fans – if you think your team is bad read the article at FOOTBALLSUP where two London based football fans travel halfway around the world to see the world’s worst football team.

Got your fantasy football team yet? Promised yourself you won’t forget about it this time? Well WHO ATE ALL THE PIES offer some tips for picking that troublesome midfield.
