Premier League Preview

The Premier League is back and we look at the hopes and fears of fans around the world.

The New Premier League Season is back! We look at the hopes and fears of fans from around the world and hear from Arsenal fans in Zimbabwe to West Ham Fans in Argentina and beyond!

Caroline Barker is joined by Emily Dean, author, broadcaster and Arsenal fan. Alongside Emily is the Liverpool supporting Sport's Editor of the Guardian newspaper Sachin Nakrani.

This week we have also stumbled upon a footballing revelation; even Premier League referees are human! We'd always been a little unsure. They rarely show emotion and have you ever heard one speak? Then we met Jon Moss. Turns out that once his whistle is hung up after a game his passion is music. So much so that he鈥檚 opened a record shop in the heart Headingley, the heavily student area of Leeds. Sportshour's Joel Hammer spent an hour or so sipping coffee and talking music, almost forgetting he was a Premier League referee.

Sporting Witness is a fascinating tale of a footballer who has had possibly the most impact on the Premier League but who never played in it and likelihood you've never heard of him... this week our Sporting Witness is Jon Marc Bosman the man who changed the transfer system forever.
