Massive for them because they still have something to play for this season besides trying to finish 21st like us

Nothing better than getting the Lars laugh.

Very good! What wouldnt we give for a player like Noel now!

Seemingly from the pictures on here one poor chap spent £90 on one. Looked like a crumpled old rag. Could end up becoming an extremely rare item indeed!

This could end up going the way of our ficticious all white Shirt!!!

Thought it was our big day, not theirs? 🤷‍♂️

Apparently the players are 'All fired up and ready' Except, of course, for those in key positions that have been instrumental in delivering unexpected results at Bristol, Leicester and against Southampton, specifically in goal and our back line. Old git feel about this is that we will leak goals like a teabag in boiling water, as the Preston cockwombles turn up the heat in that in yer face style beloved of Mr Scowlwhilstyouwank himself, Heckingbottom. Strange things happen in football, so I'm not going to complain if somehow Rovers conjour a positive result (draw or even nicking a win) but neither am I going to hold my breath whilst the tactical genius of our coaching team floats like magical cream over the scum of the North End Bovril. Unless there is something psychotropic in the pre-match orange squash in the home dressing room, I'm inclined to be expecting a sobering reverse this evening. Lillywhites loving life 3 Rovers rue-ing recent recurring regression 0 Knob End knocking one out 2 Rovers reacting remarkably robustly 2 Deepdale despair 1 Rovers Rocking Right Round Roman Road 3 Just as long as VI understands the importance of 'bragging rights' for those who live (or were born) in Bamber Bridge....* COYB! VENKY VANITY VAMOOSE! * I'm pretty sure he a) doesn't and b) doesn't give a toss

I mean, they have a very strong case for waving snakes about, they're just waving them at the wrong people.

That's what the Club claimed we spent on him to make them look good so they can't have it both ways and say "actually it wasn't £2m it was only a cheap punt" when he bombs.

I just think Wharton is so important in that back line. We saw how when he was absent we didn't deal with Derby aerially. I dont know what Preston are like from set pieces, but I just can't see us winning. I'm certainly going there less confident than we have done for the last few seasons.

I think we all know that £2m is a work of fiction. Maybe if we win the Premier League we might have to pay it.

The Preston equivalent of our rubber snake brigade, who probably will be back out in force for Hyam next Saturday.

Tavares! I'd forgotten we'd signed him. £2m well spent.

Haha, we went out of the cup in August, at the first hurdle. Montgomery was played out of position and had a nightmare, Michalski gifted them a goal and is 3rd choice anyway, and Tyjon huffed and puffed and hasn’t been seen since. Maybe we could consider Tavares as one of the U21s. He’s barely been seen since that game either.

Whilst Cantwell has performed better as an individual, I still maintain we have been a more cohesive unit with him not in the team. With him dropping so deep we can look unbalanced with he, TGH and Tronstad all wanting to occupy the same spaces. Add in we don't have any natural pace or width high up the pitch we often end up having a lot of the ball in areas that don't hurt the opposition. Cantwell is IMO so much better when higher up the pitch, the further forward we can get him the better IMO. I hate seeing him dropping in and receiving it from the CB's or where the full backs are.

The Steve Miller Band - Mercury Blues.

🤭🤭, Lars got himself some warranted attention:

60% of the time it works, every time!

Just had a quick look online and initial evidence there is to the contrary. AI says the Club has never received money from the National Lottery. Do you have a source?

I'd be surprised if it actually happens. Maybe I'll be shown to be wrong but suspect this is as much a publicity stunt as anything. It gets their owners all over the news and loads of positive PR, wins people over. The cringeworthy media videos with Brady, Bellingham and Peaky Blinders. Yuck. But actually getting it done - shovels in the ground and chimneys built - takes a lot more than big talk and famous faces doing videos. Again might be wrong but I'd be amazed if they or anyone else were coughing up £3 billion or whatever it will be to build this in a derelict corner of Birmingham whilst they are a Championship club struggling to fill a 30k stadium. If/when they get to the PL maybe a different matter.

Nice to see the flag flying in Perth 🔥🔥🔥

Probably for the same reason that Liverpool FC were given money by the Lottery Fund.

I can't see that happening. I'd say either it's a case we're all (apart from Islander) over-reacting and it's merely a niggling injury that has taken longer than expected to clear up, or, if negotiations have taken place behind the scenes, we won't see him again.

If we're playing 3-5-2 then we need at least one centre back and another striker. Get rid of Kargbo since he doesn't have a role in that layout, and probably one of Pickering/Ribeiro. Obviously every position needs an upgrade but that's where we are short.

Absolutely. Most incisive post on here for a long time! 1971 with an Owen Coyle minus the Burnley connection. What could go wrong?
