I think this has got a Rovers win written all over it tonight. We've been decent on the road and have got results at Leicester and Bristol City when most expected us to get battered. We were comfortable at Coventry for 60 odd minutes and were only undone by two long range goals. We have shown we can be organised and tough to break down away from home. I don't see why we can't be again tonight. This lot are getting carried away and are being lulled by our League position and after hearing about a couple of injuries. You'd think Dobbin is Benzema listening to them. They have better players than us all over the park, apparently. We'll see about that. Fancy us to do a job on them. Blackpool's rivals 1-2 Rovers.

The way it is going we are going back to 1971 with no Ken Furphy !

My experiences going back to the early 90's to now are entirely different. They do though seemed to have ramped it up a level in recent years especially their younger element. We've had yo yo Burnley though quite regularly but they haven't really had Blackpool so much. So it's a natural substitute and although a lot of BBwD based fans look at Bolton probably as the next real rival these lot look at us. It's a bit like the Wigan / Bolton thing really were over the last few years its become a big deal whereas before only two small groups of hools were bothered about each other. Also with Knobbers after being in our shadow so long they now often get the upper hand so the Rovers chips on their shoulders that's been weighing them down for decades get thrown off now and again. Another Venky induced gift that nobody ever asked for but iv'e been saying for 15 years they won't return us to where they found us they'll return us to what we were pre Mr Walker.

I’ve just realised that non of the usual main stream channels are even showing the highlights this evening. Then they wonder why most kids no longer have an interest in playing cricket.

The pitch in Perth is very bowler friendly, I remember being shocked at the India score last year. It was like every bowl had soemthing on it and a wicket was about to fall. I can't see England doing anything different in 2nd Innings, a quick dash to 200 should see us home here.

Where's the Money Honey?

Their Badge....Preston Plastics.

Is there any point in scheduling 5-day Tests any more? This could be over in 2 days Not Test cricket as we know and like to remember it but if England do somehow manage to win we'll take it

Lancashire rivals but nowhere near the East Lancashire one. I wont backed against my own club. Couldn't bare doing that

I did think it might actually attract a good number of Rovers fans, so they can grab a squeaky chicken in protest of our clown ownership but either way, The Spud Bro's win.

Crawley out to one that he could have easily left alone. They need to realise that you don’t have to score off every ball. We needed to hang around for longer and see Starc off. At least our bowlers have got us right back into the game. Nice to see us fight fire with fire for once, that one from Wood that hit the grill was real shaker. No helmet and that would have been a broken jaw. They don’t like it up ‘em either.

They ought to sell them before a home game at Ewood they'd do a bomb.

Just a shame we couldn't get them all out at the end, there. But, credit where it's due- we've bowled very well and made a hell of a recovery.

You predict we will win 90% of games though so at least you are learning about your over confidence

I worked in Preston for over a decade from 2001; never felt any rivalry at all, even when Jansen sealed promotion there it didn’t feel like getting one over on a rival. They were just another team. This manufactured rivalry is just bizarre to me. Anyway Friday night with a few beers watching the football, yet I’m not looking forward to it at all, the squad is looking seriously grim and feels like we are due for a bad Christmas period as always!

Why dont you rate him? Would does he have to do to improve In the league or do cup games count?.

I wouldnt agree there. Over confident always go one way generally

I've watched him all his career. Dont need clips. Ive never said that he the best midfielder of his generation. You keep change your argument again and again. Wharton isn't anywhere near Scholes's level

They have invested in the city and other sports team. Not keen on the design but at least they are building a new stadium for the club

Whatever we might think of some of England’s shot selections, that was sport at its very best. And it’s just the first day of the series! 🔥🔥🔥💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻

They have every right to be very confident. Genuinely think it'll be a total walkover for them tonight, we'll barely lay a glove on them. Remember, we won 3 on the bounce, so it's highly likely we'll not win again for at least 5 games.

Stokes has taken 5 wickets since tea! 121-9, can we clean them up before stumps?

It's a good marketing gimmick for this game tbf to them. I'm sure they'll get rid of those squeaky chickens pretty quickly to 100 PNE fans who think they're funny.

I work with a number of PNE Fans and they are very confident even over confident tbh. Ive took plenty of banter of them about our league position and where they are. We are more suited to playing away from home. So we will see tonight. I would switch to back 4 given we only have 2 centre backs fit. My team Pears Alebiosu Miller McLoughlin Pickering Tronstad Montgomery Morishita. Ohashi Hedges Gudjohnsen

This is going to come down to a one-innings shoot out.
