Premier League’s Glorious Return Open Thread

Y’ALLLLLLLLLLL PREMIER LEAGUE FOOTBALL IS BAAAAAAAAAAACK

Say what you will about whether the return of the Premier League during a global pandemic that still appears to be worsening is a good thing or not (we certainly have!), but you have to admit that it’s pretty gol-dang exciting to be talking about actual, real, meaningful sports again.

Sure, the matches will take place behind closed doors after a 3 month hiatus with crowd noise pumped through your television sets and a high probability of wacky-ass results and a lot of soft tissue injuries, but... wipes tear from eye God I’ve missed this.

Football starts today with the two matches in hand. This is your open thread.
