    Big lad?

    There's a 5 year old player in Argentina called Messi that I think Chelsea should look at.

    Sheffield United v Manchester United (15:00 BST)

    All aboard the England '94 bandwagon!

    I can confirm that England boss Graham Taylor is in the stands at Bramall Lane this afternoon.

    I like the look of Palace's kit by Bukta. I can see them being bigger than Umbro and Admiral in the next few years.

    David from Redhill.

    Can't believe there are 13 players outside Britain and Ireland. Still, they should help improve the England national team. World Cup winners 1994 I reckon.

  4. The first victim of the backpass rulepublished at 14:44 British Summer Time 15 August 2017

    The new backpass rule has been scoured for loopholes and potential pitfalls.

    Fifa had to clarify the law after players in the German second division, which kicked off in July, knelt down to knee the ball back into the gloves of their goalkeepers. That now isn't allowed. However, a header or chested pass back to the goalkeeper can be picked up.

    The goalkeepers' union are also worried about possible injuries to their members.

    Manchester City's Andy DIbble has already come a cropper, breaking a leg in a pre-season match against a League of Ireland XI last month as he attempted to field a back pass.

  5. Which player are you?published at 14:43 British Summer Time 15 August 2017

    Premier League

    The Premier League is 25 years old and has been home to almost 4,000 players - but which one are you most like?

    Are you the unpredictable maverick who is capable of great things?

    Are you the sort of character to be avoided at all costs? Do you never miss from 12 yards? Do you like what you see in the mirror - or perhaps enjoy the good life a little bit too much?

    Perhaps when it all boils down to it you're reliable but, erm, maybe not all that exciting. Play our quiz and find out - and remember, it's just a bit of fun. Share it using #bbcfootball.

    Young Darren Anderton looks a promising signing but I really worry about how Spurs will cope without Gary Lineker... we need another striker in urgently. Personally, I like the look of Teddy Sheringham at Forest...

    Blackburn only came up in the play-offs a few months ago but are really fancied to give it a good go this season. With Alan Shearer up front who knows what may be possible.

  8. Ones to watch?published at 14:41 British Summer Time 15 August 2017

    Crystal Palace v Blackburn Rovers (15:00 BST)

    Des Lynam

    You're a moderate second division outfit, along comes Fairy Grandfather who spends £10m and can conjure up plenty more, and you're a Premier League team who the country's most expensive player chooses to sign for.

    You're Blackburn Rovers.

    Alex Evans: Keep an eye out for Dave Basset's brother Mike, He is a future England manager in waiting! big fan of the 4-4-2.

    David Howell: £3.6m for a footballer? What's next? £10m? £20m? £200m?

    Stu: Two years without a title for Liverpool, could be their year I think!

    Everton v Sheffield Wednesday (15:00 BST)

    Peter Beardsley

    It's impossible to know how the beautiful game will change over the next 25 years or so but I feel confident that come the year 2017, whether we are flying around on hoverboards or using nuclear fusion to power our flying cars, Premier League strikers will still be drinking mugs of tea before a game.

    By the way, Peter Beardsley's tie is available in the Everton club shop.

  11. A Premier League haircut...published at 14:34 British Summer Time 15 August 2017

    To celebrate 25 years since the first ever Premier League game, BBC Sport asks five members of the public to model some of the iconic (or not) hairstyles of the era. With mixed results.

    Manchester United! A bold call from Gary Lineker.

    Don't forget that they haven't won the league since 1967...

  13. Who can win the title?published at 14:32 British Summer Time 15 August 2017

    Gary Lineker
    Ex-England striker on BBC One

    I'll go along with what Alan says to a large degree but I'm tipping Manchester United to do it - at last!

    Tottenham are in a transitional stage and they'll be happy with a steady season and a good cup run.

  14. Who can win the title?published at 14:31 British Summer Time 15 August 2017

    Alan Hansen
    Former Scotland and Liverpool defender

    I pick four teams. I think it's wide open and there isn't one outstanding team there.

    Like the rest of the pundits I'm going Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester United and Arsenal.

    But I can't make any sort of case for any of them.

    New signing David Rocastle may only be on the bench this afternoon but at Elland Road the building work continues. Can Howard Wilkinson create his own dynasty?

    They will take some stopping.

    Chris Adams: Leeds will win the league again. Cantona will take them to glory. They need a left-back though. Wonder if Denis Irwin's available?

    Jeroen Duineveld: Liverpool will be going back to their 70s-80s dominance. Ferguson will never be a good manager for ManU. Should be sacked.

    Rikev Llwynog: The Premier League?!?! Next you'll be telling us we can get live scores on this Internet thing. What is that anyway?

    Here's me in the summer of 1993. I think.

    Setting trends, dreaming of promotion for Northampton Town and excited about the advent of live Premier League football on TV.

    We didn't have Sky TV but I did watch the first 'Super Sunday' at someone's house as they hosted a BBQ. Remember it well.

    So let's hear your memories of the opening day of the Premier League. Were you at a game? What do you remember? Who were your favourite players?

    If you are far too young to remember 1992, what was your first memory of football?

    How did your team do? And more importantly, have you got any photos?

    We'd love to see them.
