    Its a shocking preview like basically ever preview out there.

    There is no in depth look at the two teams, there is no look at what makes each team tick, where their goals are scored from, when they concede. It was funny in parts, got no issue with that but i would much rather a preview that looked at the statistics of both sides, some of the past results. Looking at the predicted line ups and how they will compete against each other technically.

    Mind you very few previews do that these days.

    It's almost like he's taking the piss or something.

    I agree, the difference being that professional sports journalists are paid to research and present the facts, in which case we don't want it to be edgy, just accurate. When someones writing a blog or preview on a fan message board then its fine to have a laugh and not take it too seriously.

    Even the ones that try and be accurate rarely cover any of those points you've listed.
