Oh, baby! It's nearly here -- as the famed holiday carol said, "It's the most wonderful time of the year." No, not Christmas; the start of the Premier League season! Festivities kick off Aug. 16, and you fantasy veterans know how much fun this competition can be. New to it all? Then log on to www.premierleague.com to create a fantasy team and get started. There's also a predictions-based game called "I Know the Score," but more on that some other time. Once you've picked your side (and you can make unlimited substitutions until the deadline for Gameweek 1), click on the "Join a League" feature. The code to join the Pardew's Guardian Blog league is 72989-21578. Get in there, and good luck to everyone in the race for second place! Cheers.
