Nah, they're shite. Plus they slather very liquid mushy peas & mint sauce all over them. Tolerable but hadly up to Lanacastrian standards. Gawd knows what Stevenage pies are tbf. But avoid chippies diwn rhere at all costs.

I'll throw a garden party if it's the right gime of year.

A real shame. We have good pkayers, good technique but huge gaps in the overall output. Easily rectified if we had the flexibilty but we don't. We all know what's missing, no strangling bastard in the middle. Quite simply, we don't win the big games. Hoping we do in the play offs but can anyone be confident we will ?

That from Lusty was worth it just to see Cheese call someone an oddball. He doesn’t get to do that too often.

Cog's was a 4th Division player picked up as a reserve for the position begore the Bristol guy was dropped from our search. That's really impressive. Sheehan, very well done.

We must have been stood very close. I was toward the front of the Lever End, about level with the left corner of the 6 yard box looking toward the pitch.

Outstanding monent. Late 60's/early 70's Jim McDonagh whilst a Rotherham player, putting the ball down for a goal-kick with the linesman frantically indicating it hadn't gone out. He walked away to run up for the kick & I THINK it was Byrom how ran up & plonked it into an unguarded goal. I'll admit my first thought wasn’t "get him signed".

Marvelous. I can cope with the Arse getting it, same with the Massive. But not Liverpool. That would be horrendous.

I do feel for Forrester tbh, but hey ...

Oooh, dear. Are you unwell ?

My goodness. The Govt. sent in the SAS to kill Italians in Belgium just to get Liverpool blamed. I feel I missed that at the time.No wonder Liverpool gets a bad name.

Well done. I'm speaking for myself of course. So, for me ... I'm right.

Ta. So he settles with us or we get a decent (I base 'decent' on what I call 'Dapo's' btw) fee.

Even if Johnson returns fit he's lost a year & interested clubs move on. He'll need to settle back in first. Anyone know what contract time he still has ? Forrester to me looks a very good player & I'd like to see him more often. Similar with Ashworth but, as a loanee, I don't see him returning given his restricted pitch time. All in all, when fit & if kept fit, our defence has good depth even if we go up one way or another.

I get it if Blackburn was accessible to you. Those living in Astley Bridge, Bradshaw, Bromley Cross, Turton etc., etc. I assume a few fans lived nearby. But to me Blackburn was place beyond my school in Astley Bridge & had a funny shirt. I don't recall ever meeting one person who supported them. No car in our family & so, though I went to Ewood a few times, I left immediately. Plus school games included QEGS & St. Mary's. The first time I went to the town itself I was in my 20's & to this day have been barely a handful of times. The BEN used to report on them, as they did Bury. But as rivals they barely registered.

I think it depends whete you lived. I was Horwich, so Blackburn meant very little to me. Bury were rivals but my uncle played for them. Preston, maybe but I never felt nasty about it. Stretford, absolutely, but be rarely played them. Citeh ... meh. When Wigan appeared, yes, hated it. The Trashmere years, their club, manager & fans created that. May they rot. Wolves, a trail back to our glory years & their fake use of 'Wanderers'. Plus games always seemed to be important.

Very convoluted ... & still doesn't add to 14.

It might be a detail I'm not understanding but, even before yesterday it was 4 matches each.

Except it's not 7 each left. We have 4, as do Portsmouth. Derby now have 3.

Well, there's the simple FACT that a win pulls us close to Portsmouth and is a closire on Derby. Then there's the motivational matter of the confidence it would give with only 3 to go. But, my regular concern is that "we don't win the big games". Prove my wromg Whites.

"It's the hope ... "

Once they pull on that dragon shirt they're all wankers. All of 'em AND their fans ... wankers to a woman.

Regarding corners, & I've wondered for ages, as a player is about to take one they often make arm signals (usually both arms raised). It's reasonable to assume the movements signify 'going deep', 'near post', 'wide, near penalty spot' or something but they don't seem to. Does anyone know for sure ?

I'm sure someone will work out an XG for you.

On our books for a nano-second, iirc.
