Preston

Played 7 won 2 1-0 and drawn 5 0-0 must be spellbinding football to watch.

 

For not to concede in 7 championship games takes some doing like.

 

Yes but they have only scored 2 goals in 7 games, so may be playing 10 at the back

 

It’s an unbelievable record, at any level.

 

I'm pretty sure Sunderland have achieved that feat a canny few times

 

I expect most football clubs have

 

While it's true that the object of the game is to get the ball in the oppositions net, there are also skills involved in defending.
There are times, rare I admit, that a 0-0 game can be absorbing and entertaining, (for me).

Our 'Player of The Century', voted for by The Fans, was a Centre Half, while the most entertaining of forwards came second and a very effective local born forward was third.

However, were I a Preston Fan who had watched ALL their games, even I would have had more than enough of it with only two goals in over 630 minutes of play.

 

Gianni Brera, the great Italian football journalist, who is still still something of a legend there even 30 years after his death, said that the perfect game of football should end 0-0.

 

Hope it changes this weekend as I've taken them for a 1-1 draw in the prediction league

 

If these were Sunderland's results so far, how many would be raving about a record of 7 games without conceding.

 

And how many would be fed up of only two goals from 7 games.

 

That works out around 12/13 goals for the season
