Nothing’s better than the opening weekend of the season, eh? Until it very quickly goes catastrophically wrong for your club.

With the Premier League’s return this Friday, we tasked three Ramblers well-versed in suffering to discuss the rituals, the hope, and the anguish that is so unique to the opening weekend. Plus fry-up burps, Sol Campbell’s wire, and shocking revelations that Eddie Howe has been stealing Jonjo Shelvey’s food.
