Relax folks, the Euro’s will barely be over before we are back into preseason friendlies and transfer muppetry. We will watch on as new managers are appointed & lets face it, potentially sacked after a particularly bad preseason loss to someone like Perth Glory. Lauaghing at Chelsea’s home jersey until Man United released a third jersey made out of ceramic tiles. This can keep us occupied until August 14th surely, because we got a damn fine day to look forward to that day!
