Cricket and rugby "awful"? Great Ashes series on right now, with England's bowlers, Anderson and Swann, proving beyond doubt that they're the best in the world at what they do, plus the emergence of Joe Root?
And give me rugby any day compared to that turgid beef-fest called gridiron. And even baseball has its moments (yawn).
However, to football.
We're in for an intriguing Premiership season, with three of the traditional big four under new management. The development of Moyes' team (we went to the same school btw) will be interesting to watch. With all the resources and funds available will he change Fergie's ethos, or will he, as I hope, add the steel in midfield that's been visibly lacking since Roy Keane moved on? Chelsea under Mourinho are a different proposition, and while it's early days at City, Pellegrini seems pretty sure-footed, unlike the impulsive and tactically stifled Mancini.
And Arsene has finally opened the purse strings, including an audacious but sustained bid to entice Suarez; I think if he does go, it will be out of England. Only question if he does is whether Borini, Coutinho and Sturridge will be enough to replace him. Don't think so, at his best he's the most incisive attacker around.
But overall I agree with you, Liverpool haven't been bold or persistent in the transfer market. They need some real marquee and meaningful signings if they're ever going to get back to their rightful place.
Elsewhere, it's good to see that there will be a Welsh derby in the Premiership for the first time. It will be feisty too.
But for now I'll stick with the Ashes, thank you very much. And there's the World Athletics in Moscow to look forward to as well.
