We start with West Ham (H), Palace (A), Brighton (H), Leicester (A) before being the first visitors at New White Hart Lane. Notable is that there's seemingly no international break the first two weeks of September, as it usually is. Anyway, decent start all things considered.

Through seeing Celtic's new kit I realized it's 50 years since Celtic were the first British team to lift the European cup in Lisbon 1967. Surely few other cup wins are as renowned, with so many tributes and of course "John, you're immortal now". I'm not sure why that quote is so famous but it...
It's been two or three years since last time round so it's time again. It's pointless and the reigning champion is of course Wayne Rooney with most mentions in 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014 (2016 postponed due to Brexit).

So what do we think of this...
