So, to round off a week of keen anticipation, here’s one final plug for our joint preview with The Seventy Two, a project that has been termed a “blogzine” by Bristol City’s leading internet scribe, Paul Binning aka The Exiled Robin. Beyond the introduction, we were treated to 24 elegant and pithy summaries of those competing in Europe’s fifth most popular league.
