And for the first time ever the Premier League will be free-to-air. Football really is coming home.

We’ll have 4 live Premier League games on @BBCSport. The first time ever that we’ve had such an opportunity. Very exciting. 👍🏻

The legacy of the 2009 Champions League final, 11 years on

It will take some getting used to, though.

Going to be a bit weird watching Premier League games on the BBC without assuming that every oncoming substitute is about to score and that every yellow-carded player is guaranteed to be sent off later on

Looking forward to seeing the same joke by a thousand Twitter accounts with a footballer as their profile photo.

Hands up if you read this in Frank Lampard’s voice:

Premier League football to return on Frank Lampard's birthday. Could have done with it being a day or two later, to be honest!!!!!! But, no, it'll be great to be back and doing what we're paid to do and that's play football matches for this football club and these fans

You just know Mourinho will do it too.

Can't wait for five substitutions all at the same time by a furious Jose Mourinho after 35 minutes of their first game.

I’m sure I’ve seen that rumoured new Arsenal kit somewhere before…

Remembering Peter Schmeichel’s greatest ever Premier League performance

Ah, so that’s why VAR didn’t give a penalty to Dortmund against Bayern.

Never a penalty. Everyone knows that's Boateng's natural position ever since that Messi goal. #BVBFCB

Dominic Cummings has been so roundly mocked this week, even football’s online community is getting in on the act.

The most uncomfortable I’ve seen an Englishman in a press conference since a 7-0 defeat in Barcelona

— Gary Neville (@GNev2) May 25, 2020

This might be the winner of the lot, though.

If Alphonso Davies were to run at his top speed (v Borussia Dortmund) of 35.3 kilometres per hour, he could cover the distance from Durham to Barnard Castle in 75 minutes and 45 seconds.

The ultimate Danish five-a-side of the Premier League era

You hate to see it.

Things are not going great for the former Huddersfield boss at Schalke either.

Reckon David Wagner’s win % over the last three seasons must be getting close to that of a decent IPA

The forgotten legacy of England’s first black captain

You think you know a person.

You're telling me Scott Brown is bald by choice. Unreal dedication to the hard cunt image fair fucking play. https://t.co/dEHxHXPoj8

The fact that David Seaman was 39 in 2003 is making us feel really old right now.

I was 39 when I made this save 17 years ago and apparently I was “past it” – it’s had 4 million views on YouTube (31/2 million of them were me 🤣🤣) #safehands pic.twitter.com/vEY2EfwxVh
