A shit preview - the Mighty vs Sunderland

A conventional blog would go through the opposition and maybe get some other non-entity off the internet to tell you what they think. I do know some Sunderland fans as well and they're grand fellows one and all, but honestly, who gives a fuck about the other team? Here's my...

No redeeming features - the Mighty vs Middlesborough

I'm not coming with high expectations. I just want to avoid the game ending with all our players in a heap of twisted bodies. The great thing about preseason is you get to dream about what's to come. The great thing about the season is sometimes those dreams come true....
