wakey

Utter bollocks. I've not been here long so can't comment on what it used to be about. But in my time here I've not seen one single post about Christ on a bike.

Oh. Thanks for letting me know. I'll remember to submit any future posts for your pre-approval.

from memory, the whole thing was a storm in a teacup. Pretty sure nowt happened to anyone as a result of Panorama's "evidence".

Maybe time for my vague, largely irrelevant and uncorroborated non-story about our finances ... Here goes. A couple of years ago I was in a conversation with two blokes, one a former FD at a premier league club and one a former chairman / CEO, again at a PL club. They were nattering about 'football people' they knew (for them, 'football people' meant directors, investors, types they'd bump into in boardrooms etc). I wasn't really in the conversation as the names meant nowt to me. Then a name came up - sorry, absolutely no idea who, and didn't mean anything at the time. Ex-CEO turned to me and said "he had a look at buying your lot". He then made some comment - and sorry, it gets vaguer still as I can't remember exactly how he worded it - but it was along the lines of too many skeletons in the closet. Largely based on that snippet, i've always thought that a big part of how we ended up with Holdsworth and Ken was because Holdsworth's thick and Ken hadn't had chance to look under the bonnet before sticking his 50p in.

That would've seemed pretty full. We averaged 5.5k the season before, just over 5k the one before and sub 5k the three before that. Would have been buzzing with >7k on

1 win in 13 as a manager. In league 1. With Sheffield Utd. Weir out!

I like NorwichLad. He's raised some interesting points, and approached it in a reasonable and courteous manner. My favorite is this bit ...

don'tgoontwitterdon'tgoontwitterdon'tgoontwitter win. went on twitter. should know better.

Think there's already been a bit too much of that

I know we're all in shock, but fcuk me we've some right cases on twitter. Amongst other gems are ... "we've just won for the first time in 22 matches" - wrong. and a better one " Parky ends a run of 1 win in 27 games, which is a #bwfc record by some distance. But he is now also in second place, as after tonights win against Brum, he is on a run of 1 win in 22 games!" wrong and wrong. Can no fucker count any more.

(nearly) everyone does against us. Can't be coincidence.

We've got one of them not-defeats not draws ... thingys. One of them. Don't know what to do. What's protocol for one we get one of these?

decent half. we look as likely to score as them. Obviously, they're likely to score. We're not. But decent half.

the Welsh?

yeah, he did seem decent

I tipped them off about "a bloke I know" over here. Past his best, not played for years, and wasn't much cop back in the day. Was offered a trial ...

"if it hadn't been for 4 defensive lapses we'd have got a result against a very good team."

In my view he's sod all chance of his security standing up in admin or liquidation - wouldn't be too hard to determine that when the owner granted himself security the club was already trading insolvently and had no chance of paying it back. His past history won't earn him any leeway either. Then again, I'm not a lawyer or insolvency bod.

why would Ken choose liquidation? You do realise this means bust? like proper bust? it'll be admin first, then liquidation if nobody comes in to buy us. (or preferably sale beforehand)

Don't you hate it when someone comes round your house and messes with your shit.

Seems to have gone largely unnoticed, but Donaldson's goal yesterday disproved Newton's third law. Previously, his rate of falling over backwards was exactly equal and opposite to the simplicity of converting the chance. Expecting a full EFL investigation on yesterday's goal. And maybe NASA.

Could be the turning point of our season. The great escape ... or hefty defeats from here on in.

shock - does strange things to you.

you know them posts about fishing, chucking the bait in, needing a bigger net ... suspect there's a couple of them on Preston forums right now. Still, gives them summat to talk about.
