That sure was a long three months or so. This off season didn’t have a World Cup to satisfy the football cravings over the Australian winter. So it was a diet of gossip column and rumour mills, mixed with hopes for the season ahead, and a countdown waiting for this weekend.
All the talk will be about the EPL, with any Football League talk confined to the Championship play off final, we at The Gurgler like to talk lower division UK Football. For your information we have a preview of all the three lower divisions, but since the work has already been over at Australia’s premium sports website www.theroar.com.au we have a link to their preview of the season’s ahead.
