How many hours till the fixtures come out?

Deffo Preston as I remember thinking we could end up in the River Ribble crashing off the bridge here. Didn't bother with the compo claim back then, some lads got around 2 grand I beleive. If it happened again today you can bet I would be claiming now, for around 2 million.

I was on the football special train coming back from Carlisle in the 80s after an away game at Brunton Park that had a brake failure steaming into Preston railway station and ended up smashing into another train. Still the closest I have come to dying (to my knowledge!) so far, and wondered if any other members had also been on that train, and would like to share their memories of the event and day. Can't find anything about it on the internet. It did happen didn't it?? I only suffered damaged ribs, smashed teeth and concussion, but I remember seeing Paul Astley go flying through a glass window and ending up looking like Terry Butcher !

That would be worth watching. Sadly Gilligans skipper is dead.

How much longer must we be subjected to this banal drivel and trivial pish? -Gareth Southgate on Mclarens half time team talk last Wednesday.

Which end are they in Bob? The lucky one?

Who's the skipper usually, Moore?

Does anyone else think that if the only coverage of top flight football was MOTD on Saturday night and Granada Soccer on Sunday afternoon that our crowds for 2005-06 season would average around 26,000?

Waggy, i had a dream last night that I moved in to the house next door to you, and you had a car with the number plate Waggy1 with the little smilie things on that you use on your posts either side of it. And Simon Barker lived on the other side.

Sommeil was a disgrace. Spitting, diving cheating. His 417 rolls after Tugays poor challenge meant that Howard 'Quick Draw McGraw' Webb had his red card out faster than speeding paps motorbike .

Last time we finished 6th and got into Europe, Sunderland and WBA got relegated too.

I am correct when I assume that when the Chelsea fans sang "Stand up for the champions", they were singing directly to SWP,Crespo and all the other falling over merchants?

Oh dear, here comes Abbey....

Will it be space cake like last year Mum??

Translated as City have not sold all their tickets.

Well, he was once described as the rich mans Stan Laziridis!

I no longer care, we always get beat anyway. It's the English disease.

On the face of it I would agree SS. But recent draws at Old Trafford and Bolton with virtual youth teams indicates that the infrastructure and academy set up is working very well, which will begin to pay dividends soon, plus his coaching methods and tactics have some merits too. Didn't their youth team win or get to the final of the FAY cup too? But, yes, I would tend to agree, not my first choice for England.

Dillo, is there a link you can post to some where we can see all your photos in one place?

I thought that was Burnleys new sponsor.

About time someone said that. Bellamy out, Henry and Rooney in.

Was there any coverage of the big guy with no shirt on in the Darren End with the inflatable Spiderman? Or the dozen or so kids at the front with blue and white wigs on?

I thought he left around 14 months ago.

RoverinBath-are you a Rovers fan from the city of Bath, or do you only use your computer whilst taking a bath? Or both?

That really does both surprise and disappoint me simultaneously.
