As the hot summer days start to come to an end, anticipation starts to grow for the upcoming Football Season. Diehard supporters of Manchester United are confident that their team will reclaim the Premier League Trophy from Chelsea. Liverpool and Arsenal are also hoping to win the title. Maybe a longshot will upset the top 4 and claim the championship. As the season begins, everyone has hopes and dreams that their hometown team can win it all.

Out in the Pubs, discussion is heating up. Fans are ready to set aside their weekends and focus in on the world’s most popular sport. As the number one professional football league in England, most of the attention is directed toward the Premier League’s premier teams. Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal have dominated the sport for the last 15 years or so. The other 16 teams that make up the league may not be given much of a chance to win the championship, but, their fans are just as excited about the new season.

Wagers are being placed at the local betting parlors. In England, the only thing football fans like better than watching a football match is placing a bet on a football match. With the recent disappointing performance in the World Cup in South Africa, football fans are anxious to see their heroes back in action. While, the sting of defeat still flows through the blood of dedicated fans of the national team, it is time to move on and watch the best football league in the world.

Women may not see much of their husbands as the season gets underway. Like the “football widows” in America, who must resign themselves to their husband’s passion for the National Football League (NFL), British women also find themselves being ignored in favor of an important football match. On the other hand, many women are also dedicated football fans and set aside everything when a match is underway.

There is something of a national spirit that overtakes the country during football season. Everyone wants to know the score of the matches. People go to pubs or gather at friend’s houses to enjoy the games. Stadiums are usually full to capacity and it may be impossible to get tickets to the best matches.

A football match is a time to escape from the realities of everyday life. For a few hours, no one worries about their bills accumulating or problems at their place of employment. Everyone from young children to senior citizens can enjoy the sport. Children kick the ball around, pretending to be their favorite football hero. A header for a goal or a spectacular save by the goalkeeper, causes a genuine celebration. Young men play football on an amateur level and take it very seriously. It may start out as an attempt to get some excercise, but, quickly turns into an all out fight for victory.

So, everybody can raise a tall cold brew and welcome back the 2010 football season. Good luck to all!
