LIVE FOOTBALL IS coming back to your TV screens to give you something to look forward to again at the weekend. So that means there’s no need to spend your bored/hungover hours gawking at endless episodes of Premiership/ Premier League Years on Sky.
Check your symptoms to see if you’ve had enough.

2. You can instantly tell the year just by the colour of Richard Keys’ hair
3. You can recite Martin Tyler’s commentary word-for-word
‘THAT sums it all up.”
4. Remember when Alex Ferguson didn’t need glasses
5. Seeing this man makes you smile as the memories flood back
6. Dennis Bergkamp goals just never get old
7. You dread that Chemical Brothers’ Out Of Control tune
You used to like it, but now it means only one thing – a break for news away from football.
8. You’re almost certain you actually watched that Prince Naseem fight
9. But wonder how that British Open passed you by
10. Ryder Cup news always feels like an odd change of pace
Meanwhile, the FA Cup, World Cup and other things not exclusive to Sky are given just a fleeting glance.
11. You get a little choked up when you see Gary Speed in action
12. You long for simpler times, when Manchester City were fairly rubbish
13. And Chelsea were likeable
14. Where else could you get to hear a bit of Chumbawumba at 10am of a weekday
15. And M People. So much M People
16. You never get tired of listening to Big Ron saying: “You can sit there and play with your silly little machines”
17. You’re ready to turn it off and go feed the dog, but you can’t not watch Kevin Keegan
18. You’ve grown to love Georgie Thompson’s voiceover style
19. And you reckon she could do a job on Reeling in the Years
20. You love a good montage
