PRE-SEASON IS ABOUT TO END AND THE FOOTBALL SEASON IS ABOUT TO KICK OFF.

WE STILL NEED A FEW GAMES TO GET OUR GROOVE BACK, BUT WE’RE FILTHY, SO THAT’S NORMAL. BUT THE TEAMS LOOKING TO CHALLENGE FOR THE TITLE, OR RETAIN IT, AREN’T NECESSARILY LOOKING RECOGNISABLE AND, FOR SOME, DON’T SEEM TO HAVE THE ENERGY…

BUT, IT WAS A WORLD CUP YEAR, PRE-SEASON IS ALL OVER THE PLACE, THERE ARE STILL TRANSFERS TO BE MADE AND FUTURES TO BE BUILT.

SO MAYBE WE SHOULDN’T BE READING TOO MUCH INTO IT JUST YET.
