This season every country on the planet, with the exception of North Korea, has a television deal to carry English Premier League matches.
While the reach of the professional game is incredible, despite the brilliant HD TV coverage and in depth analysis football is still best experienced live in the stands or even still with a ball at your feet yourself, kicking it around with friends as you did in your youth.
The following are ten brilliant quotes about the game:
