Everton’s fine start to the season must have felt like a lifetime ago as they struggled to cling on to a point at Loftus Road last weekend.

If you were to list the Portuguese managers at Chelsea in order of success (we don’t know what you do in your spare time), it’s fair to say Andre Villas-Boas wouldn’t be top. Top two, maybe.

Sport is not often mistaken for a 6ft 3ins Ivorian midfield colossus.

“There’s supposed to be a professional footballer arriving,” says Alan, the old boy in charge at Styal FC’s ground in Cheshire when we arrive. “It’s not you, is it?” he asks, looking uncertain as he wheezes on a ciggy.

*Possibly not guarantee. But mostly – with one or two could-do's and the odd question

Ninety-seven days on from the most dramatic denouement in its 20-year history, the greatest league in the worldTM is back - and bigger and better than ever. This alone is a good thing.
