Welcome to the much-needed resumption of festivities. Please try to control one's excitement, or at least cover one's tumescence. Villa and the Barcodes kick us off early (7:30, USA), and these two have each had a mighty tough summer. Isak is the straw that stirs Newcastle's drink, and he's thrown his
