It's hard to believe but the new football season is nearly upon us and we wanted to hear what you think about it! This thread will be live through the whole season and we're hoping that you'll use it as a place to share your thoughts and discuss the big stories. We're not doing this on behalf of any companies as such, but we may share some of your comments (anonymously of course) with some of the football clubs as we're looking to do some more work with them on their family offerings.
This one is for Mumsnetters and Dadsnetters who are football fans - we'd like as many of you as possible to get involved. Sadly there's no prize draw for taking part but we're hoping you'll enjoy there being an official home of football chat on MN/Dadsnet (we're stickying this on the Dadsnet talk topic too).
Feel free to discuss anything on the football theme here but here are a few starters for ten:
~ After such a dramatic end to last season how do you think this season is going to pan out? Who are going to be the heroes and villains, the winners and losers?
~ How are you going to enjoy the games? Are you planning to watch on TV or go to the matches? What makes match days special for you?
~ Is it important to you and your family to have the right kit/supporters gear or not? Do you think it takes more time/money/dedication to be a 'proper' fan these days or is it the same commitment as ever!?
~ How do your children feel about professional football and footballers? Do they feel inspired? What happens when footballers are not so well behaved (on or off the pitch) - does this rub off on your little ones? Any aspiring Beckhams in your family?

Let's talk football - what are your pre-season predictions? Who will the heroes and villains be?

DH and I have a share of a Man Utd season ticket so we take it in turns to go to matches with his mates (and a curry afterwards!).
I'd be lying if I didn't say we were gutted last season - DH far more than me as he's been a lifelong Red whereas I'm an expat Londoner (expat to the NW) so have only adopted Utd in the last 5-6 years.
I have family allegiances to Charlton too - its not all about the Prem League 
Come on Utd!
laracroft2001- I bet derby days were a hoot in your house?! 
I often wonder how that happens, you know like one half of a household supports one team and the other supports their deadly rivals haha!! No chance of that happening in this house. dp supports the pars too-goodness only knows how i managed to find him seeing as most people i know support either of the old firm.
Looking forward to our first meeting tomorrow, it was worth the drop just to get the derby games back. and doubly special as some of the kids from my dc's primary school are doing their football training as the HT entertainment-they are all so excited.
1981- oh yes fun derby days. My dad once took me to a derby at dunfermline, made me sit in the pars stand, and i did stand up and cheer when raith scored. I was only about ten so I got away with it
