Yep, after a bit of a summer break, we’re back in time for the new season with the finest football-related stuff we’ve unearthed around the web. Slightly connected to this summer’s football action, in which comedian Mark Watson wrote a guest blog for us, here’s a great story about his brother. Who just happens to be the world’s youngest international manager. Paul Watson is the boss of Pohnpei, a tiny nation in the middle of the Pacific. The Ball Is Round have got the full story here on his remarkable career move here, massive inspiration to all of us who imagine we’d do a great job in the hot seat!

Back on domestic turf, and everyone’s trying to preview who’ll be successful over the forthcoming season. If it’s Premier League you’re after, then you can’t really go wrong with The Guardian‘s previews of each and every team. They’ve releasing them one at a time, so start here with Arsenal and work your way alphabetically through the league.

If it’s lower down the divisions that you’re looking for, then TwoFootedTackle do a good job of offering opinionated but insightful looks at all the English leagues.

If you want to get even closer to each team, then classic boy’s football mag Shoot have enlisted a blogger from every one of the 92 league teams in England, each entrusted with the job of talking about their club, and starting with a preview of their hopes for the season. As with all these previews, there’s going to be a decent amount that they get wrong and a bit of impartial opinion on offer, but isn’t that part of the fun?

Away from predictions and Pohnpei, most of football’s drama recently has centred around money, and the new rules about squad players and nationality. Covering both of these bases, this intriguing article at The Run Of Play makes interesting reading. It looks at the changing identity in Liverpool’s dressing room, and how much a team can be ‘English’ and succeed. Interesting stuff. As that’s quite serious, you can also check out something a bit more lighthearted in the shape of this video on Who Ate All The Pies, showing Liverpool’s latest signing showing off his skills last night.

Finally for this week, if there’s anyone who’s not yet got excited about the new season, here’s something that should get you in the mood. The Guardian’s Joy Of Six column, looking at half a dozen footballing surprise packages. It’s this kind of thing that fans of every club dream about – coming from nowhere to grab success.
