Yesterday evening I had the delight of attending Deepdale to watch the pantomime that was Preston vs Everton pre season friendly in a ground that only used two sides (one stand having been totally demolished) and where there were more away fans than home!
The game itself was a drab affair and was notorious for an innocuous looking injury to James Vaughan which resulted in him dislocating his shoulder and now being out for up to 6 months - Come on Biffa! and a poorly conceded goal from Everton early on.
That was until Victor Anichebe decided to level the game in the last few minutes which resulted in the usual mini pitch invasion - and the Preston police and security to then drape a cordon across the Everton supporters in case the Preston hundreds kicked off against the Everton thousands.
Funniest sight of the evening was a steward who had the maddest ginger 80's perm I've ever seen attempting to keep order at the Everton end -surreal.
Still on the footballing front it was a good workout for the Blues who will have to step up a gear in the next few weeks if they are to move forward from last season
