YOU screamed “man on” when Mo Farah led the 10,000m.
You shouted “still nil nil lads” when Sam Querrey took a point off Andy Murray.
And you called the British Lions a long-ball team when they kicked for touch against New Zealand.
Well there is no need to pretend that you’re watching the Premier League any more.
Because the real thing is finally here.

IT'S not often you get a 100/1 dead cert - but then this is no ordinary weekend.
Man City and their battery of attackers will score goals by the bucketload this season.

We may get a taster at the Emirates but with seven fixtures in the book this afternoon, it is Saturday that the top flight really gets going.
English clubs have not been shy with the cash this summer.
Now it’s our turn to get the wallet out.
The bookies say they have taken more money on Manchester United to win the league than any other team. And we can see why.
At 4-1, United still have a shred of value left in them – unlike rivals City, who are a miserly 7-4 to win the title.
Latest Betting Tips
City’s gossamer millionaires are likely to hammer the small teams but then find it tougher going against shrewd sides at the top of the table.
So our outright cash this season is heading to Old Trafford.
United drew 15 games last season but now they have Romelu Lukaku to batter defences and Nemanja Matic to liberate Paul Pogba they will win far more games.
And as everybody knows, points mean prizes.
We do have a small pot of money saved up for City, though.
Gabriel Jesus is 9-1 to top the goal charts, generally available. And we need little divine intervention to convince us to back the Brazilian.
He hit seven goals in 11 games following his January arrival and we are convinced he will be the standout striker this year.

If Jesus is as prolific as we expect then that will be a huge pot of free bets to play with.
Pep Guardiola got the taste for pummelling the small teams from his time in Spain and Germany and we expect to see a few big scores this year.
So we like City to top the team goal charts and Jesus to win the Golden Boot. That’s 14-1 with Sun Bets.
A cross-town outright double of United and Jesus comes in at an enormous 100-1, also with Sun Bets. It is barely 50s elsewhere.
Yet scan down the table and things suddenly get far less pretty.
Time was, a wet Tuesday night in Stoke used to give visiting teams the chills.
But we think it could be the Potters feeling the winds of change this year.
Mark Hughes’ side had one of the oldest average teams in the league last year and only Sunderland spent longer at the foot of the table.
They also only took three points from losing positions last year - a clear signal that something is up at club previously known for their fighting spirit.
At 6-1, we are backing them to slip out of the top flight this year. We like a Burnley, Huddersfield and Stoke relegation treble.
It may feel like a mean bet but cleaning up at 50-1 should ease your conscience.
