Oh, football – welcome back! To celebrate the end of the international break and the return of REAL football, I asked ChatGPT to write a one-verse poem to celebrate.

The break is over, the wait is over,
The Premier League is back.
Goals and glory, skill and speed,
The beautiful game is back in the race!

OK, it’s not Maya Angelou, is it?

Today we have a full (full!) programme of games, starting with the early Soton v United game, then the usual barrage of 10a/3p games which are not televised in England for certain reasons, a late game and a VERY late game (on the concrete slab).

This is your open thread! Geronimooooooooooooooooo!
