It’s really hard to write about pre-season because it doesn’t mean anything… ever. The only time you can weigh in is if there are clear cultural issues. Players fighting or horrible rumblings of disunity. We don’t have those issues, we’ve just witnessed two pretty average results over two very rusty games. It’s unpleasant, no doubt, but it’s a part of the process no one remembers… bar all the fans that went to The Emirates expecting a Mexican wave and did not get to partake in such an activity. Imagine that?

This post will cover off the good, the bad and the ugly. If you want some of the primo writing action, get subbed up, there’s a special pre-season deal going off right now that you might fancy. All the pods, all the writing, all the discord, all the joy of knowing you support independent writing. x
