Mowbray did his best for us but, in the end, it wasn't good enough. Glad we have GB and JDT now. Armstrong looks great in that video but what happened to him at Southampton?

I'd call 'em "the shites" myself.

My prediction for the final league table of 23/24 Foxes Rovers Saints Boro Hornets Peacocks Potters Throstles Sky Blues Black Cats Tractor Boys Lions Swans Canaries Robins Owls Lilywhites Tigers Big Club QPR Terriers Bluebirds Pilgrims Millers

Potter would be a hell of a lot better than Ince

I agree with Miller. I've signed up and it's such a pleasure to have no annoying ads.

I was about to recommend The Black Horse, Friargate, Preston. Not only is it a Robinsons pub but it is well worth visiting for the nostalgia of what a pub of yesteryear was like. It's a superb preserved building both inside and out. Not to be confused with The Black Bull which is opposite Greyfriars Wetherspoons.

The French, Italian and Mexican national anthems are great to dance to. But our anthem has dignity. So does the anthem of Japan. My favourite is Hungary.

That's the one! Thanks.

There was a recent game (I say "recent", must have been in the last 10 years) when Rovers were away and scored a glorious team goal. The commentators counted the number of passes that Rovers made before scoring. Can't think who it was against. Maybe a Yorkshire team?

Ours is a superb national anthem. It's not an entry for the Eurovision Song Contest.

Home again on Good Friday. ☹️ Why can't we be away for once.

Is it worth discussing Britain's Got Talent on here? I have only ever voted in the final twice. The first time I was determined to vote Susan Boyle but instead voted for the superb dance troop known as Diversity and they won. This year the final was made up of really good acts but this fella with the balloon had me laughing all the time. I saw his audition but missed the semi final. So, not expecting him to win, I voted for him. I was quite shocked when he won. Since then I keep watching on You Tube his three performances and cannot stop laughing. What will he do next? I'm obviously not in the minority because he won but people like Graham Liver on Radio Lancs don't agree.

When is the trip from India to Lancashire taking place is more the question for me.

The whole squad v Spuds get my vote. Tiny Taylor as an attacking right wing back. Berg and NEJ at centre back. Jansen & Cole, Duff, Dunne and Gillespie. Not forgetting Bjornabye, Yordi and Hignett. Of course Friedel and Hughes were the mainstays but what a performance. Bellamy beat Pompey on his own. New one. MGP v Fulham to volley in, from such an acute angle, Kuqi's cross and later to put a pin point corner for Tugay to volley home. Also when he scored both goals for us to beat Man Utd at Old Trafford. How I miss those days; probably more than when Dalglish was in charge.

It may have been better to call him Ante Pottyloo. The letter g in Turkish is silent. So Tugay's surname would be pronounced Ker im oloo, with the emphasis on "im". I was educated on this by Kevin Livesey, a tennis coach in Malaysia, who claims to have played for Rovers reserves in the early 1950s. He never got a first team chance so cannot be found in the history books.

It's the swaggering arrogance of Manure over many decades that gets me. I've seen City almost always in their shadow. So I'm glad they won. I think City have a superb player in every position. The odd one out to me is Grealish. He doesn't fit their style. He should be at another club.

When you are defending in your own penalty area you must do everything with both hands shoved up your arse.

I'll stick my neck out now. United to win on penalties.

City score after 18 seconds

Yes. Thanks. I realise that now. It was a league match at the end of his career.

Anyway, back to JDT. I remember Muffin the mule too, with Annette Mills at the piano and Ann Hogarth pulling the strings. Do you remember Saturdays......Whirligig with Humphrey Lestoq and Saturday Special with Peter Butterworth. Mr Turnip and Hank Rides Again. Most on this board haven't a clue what we're on about. Should I book myself into a care home?

Where did you buy the elixir from? Does that shop still exist? Do you realise Fergie Suter only plated one game for us? Where is Jack Southworth in that team? I think he scored more goals per game than Shearer did.

Most positions you can fill with brilliant players. The one position I cannot think of a truly outstanding player is RB. The first one I saw was Ron Suart. Ok, we have Berg, Emerton, Kenna, Neill. We've never had a Piqué.

I'm very proud of my club and I'd like to think it sets high standards. If we had the only decent away dressing room in the football league other players and their staff would take notice. Maybe a good young player would want to move to us rather than anyone else because we set so high a standard.
