Madness (continued) - the Mighty vs Wycombe Wanderers

These blogs have fallen into a certain format over the years. The advent of chaosball has made me wonder if I should make like the big doe eyed grizzly fella in the dugout and rip it up and start again. Usually, I bang on for a bit about what I was thinking before the game,...

This is Brooks Mileson. He owned Gretna FC. If you don't know who he is or what the score is with Gretna, it might be worth giving it ...
