A meek affair ended the long wait.
76 days we were left to wait without Premier League football and, when it finally came back around, United and Spurs gave us a reminder that you only love what you don’t have.
Louis van Gaal’s side played out a 1-0 victory in the opening game of the new season but, apart from the first 21 minutes where Spurs were on top and United scored – of course – there was little else to report from Old Trafford.
So much so that the match day ball commanded most of the attention.
We were all looking on a little dumbfounded trying to figure out if we were trying to remember something or not.
Good to see they've found the League Cup ball from the 1980s again.

Someone just got a little carried away.
Looks like some 6 year old boy who loves Spider-Man has designed the new premier league ball this season!

It’s not right.
The new Premier League ball looks bruised, which probably symbolises a few things.

Ack, it’s not that bad.

Really, it couldn’t be that bad.
The new Premier League ball is an abomination.

Okay then it is.
@ChelsNicky nope, one of humanity's word creations. Possibly.
