Jim's link has explained to me that it is the football authorities who have cancelled the games and not the "Nanny State". Government says the sporting authorities can choose either way.

Sorry. My blood was boiling. I've calmed down now.............I think.

She worked right up to the week she died aged 96. What a person! I think she was a most devoted monarch and head of state. She was dutiful to the end. R.I.P Lillibet

Well, we've lost her. It had to come. Nobody lives forever. Goodbye, Ma'am. Thank you for all that you have done. RIP Lizzie. Officially it should be, "The Queen is dead. God save the King".

The queen herself would have been horrified at the thought of cancelling the games this weekend. If they do they will be dishonouring her memory.

As my dad used to say, Peter Dobing is a brilliant player for three or four games a season. Never in a million years I would like a better keeper than Kaminski. He's ok but has his faults Because they've got Moggasaurus and we've got JDT. Garrett for one. Maybe Mola could give us a bit of bite in midfield. There! I've done a "Chaddy". I've replied to multiple quotes so you cannot "like" this post because you may totally disagree with one of my statements.😉

This precisely. No other words needed.

Is Lenihan injured or suspended?

I see he has re-united with Corrie Evans.

4-2-3-1 Kaminski; Carter, Hyam, S Wharton, Mola; Travis, Buckley; Hedges, Dack, BBD; Hirst Subs: Pears, Pickering, A Wharton, Morton, Dolan, Szmodics, Markanday I think we'll scrape our first draw 1-1

13th

The back line was set up wrongly. Personnel should have been Philips, Carter, Hyam, Pickering or swap Carter and Philips. Then Travis could have played DM. Adam Wharton was put right off his game after he lost the ball, did a reckless lunge to try and retrieve it and got booked. He was reluctant to tackle after that in case he got sent off. BBD had a stinker. Hedges had turned his ankle in the warm-ups so played poorly. Hirst looked very good but other players weren't on his wavelength. He was taken off knackered. We can't keep playing as badly as this. I just hope we can improve megamuch at Wigan.

Was it Notts County?

They equalled the record for the most clean sheets at the start of a season ever in the football league. I simply cannot find out who the other two clubs are that hold that record. Can someone please help. P.S. If you didn't already know they failed to beat the record today when Birmingham City put one past them to win the game.

His name is Mola.........M..O..L..A....Mola

I'm so glad we won the game so well as people are saying. Great performance. However, I listened on Radio Lancs and we were battered in the first 15 minutes before we scored. After scoring it seemed even-steven with maybe us getting on top. Second half we sounded all over them but it was still 1-0. Knowing Blackpool's recent history I was so worried that they would snatch an equaliser as they often do. So I was not comfortable until the final whistle. I'll be watching the whole game tomorrow on Rovers TV.

Nowhere near as much as Ewood's 31,000

BBC have the crowd as 33,383. Really?

Ass, really! If someone showed me photos of Puddefoot, Healless, Latheron, Danny Shea or Crompton I'd recognise them in a flash and they played between 10 and 30 years before I was born.

Now that we've signed Hyam hows about playing Philips up front as a striker?

Where do I go to give my player ratings? I've searched the site but cannot find it. Do we always have to wait until an admin person reminds us on the match day thread?

That gigantic tail of the dog has just got bigger.

So you'd rather we keep Ben for this season and hope a miracle promotion happens and let him leave for nowt in June 2023?

I don't fear for Everton who, over many decades, have stolen our best players. But this time I hope they get their man.

I'd say to Ben, " You must go to the club who wants you and will pay us money in this window or sign a new contract with us. If you choose neither you will be on the bench of the under 21 team for the whole season." Some will say cut off nose to spite face but someone has to make a start to try to stop this gigantic tail wagging the fucking dog.
