I blame Jim Mk2 for going to the game.....Again! Last away game he went to was Coventry 3 Rovers 0 They always lose.

What's the problem with a German? Is it because we've generally found it difficult to beat them in football? Is it something to do with two world wars? If the latter we've had more war trouble with France and Spain over the centuries. Perhaps we should have gone for a Portuguese who have been our friends for about 600 years.

Hit the nail on the head there. I want to see a bit of risk-taking.

I think England are awful. Watching paint dry.

Adam Wharton is injured. He has a groin strain but Palace won't rest him enough to let it heal.

So who would be suitable for the England job? Pep won't take it. If Southgate over achieved then he's a bloody good manager; the best since Bobby Robson.

Crap ref already. Gives yellow card in 6th minute for a nondescript foul. Pillock!

He was a goalkeeper.

How come Hyam was our player of the season and now is one of the worst players in the squad? How can someone change so much?

Both Sunderland and Leeds look very good strong teams. We'll have to be at our best when we play them.

Who were the commentators for Rovers game on Radio Lancs? Co-commentator was excellent.

I'll be happy with one point

Radio Lancs saying it was better, for a very short time, when Dolan went on the left wing and Cantrell came in the middle. Why didn't they stay swapped.

I DM'd you ages ago. Have you not received it?

That ref was awful once again. First card was on 10 minutes (in a derby match ffs). That set the precedent. Towards the end I may as well have been playing Canasta as watching football. They only red card of the day was the biter. We were second best to a poor PNE side throughout but gained a point thanks to Aynsley. Still 4th and unbeaten 😊

We're gonna lose this 1-0

I don't like Baker

De Robeck. I bet no-one on this message board has a clue what I'm on about. Maybe possibly Jim mk2?

Exactly. Funny old game is football. Just because we have started well and are looking good and North End have started really badly doesn't mean next Sunday is a pushover. All we need to do is turn up? It could be a difficult match for us but I have every confidence that JE will have done his homework.Mustn't forget that Heckingbottom is also a good manager and is turning them around.

Isn't Marine nearer?

WBA won 3-0 so they go top

Give him another year and he'll be hooked. I speak from personal experience.

Years ago I could view the complete list of members. Where is it now? I am concerned about a member who is quite old, not in good health and hasn't posted for several months. Is it possible to view the list of members and review their content and dates of posts?

I'm still grinning from ear to ear.😁

I feel sorry for referees in modern times. They are not allowed to use their discretion or common sense. They HAVE TO give a decision in accordance with the specific thing that happens. Football is a beautiful game and fans should be able to enjoy not only two teams going head to head but also the performance and character of the referee. Back in the 1950s and 60s we had good and bad refs as per normal but we enjoyed their idiosyncrasies . I always believed that the ref was totally honest and doing his job to the best of his ability. Some were real characters who contributed to the entertainment. In today's game ALL the cards should never have been given in my opinion; to either side. It was a feisty game as you would expect but nothing happened that was vicious or dangerous. The modern football rules are stupid. Referees must be given back the right to use their own discretion for the good of the game. If not you might as well have a Dalek on the pitch to enforce the law.
