I'm Steve Wilson, one of Match of the Day's commentators. During the course of the season I'll be commentating on dozens of top flight matches, seeing all 20 Premier League clubs and visting all 20 grounds. I'll also be reporting for Football Focus and this season I'll be sharing some of the things you don't see on TV on my blog. I am also keen to hear what you make of the big stories as they happen.
