Not in my book.
Watford are much better than Saints. From the start they swarmed all over us. They moved the ball quickly and accurately and we couldn't cope with their movement. We had two chances in the first half at Watford ( Murray and Stephens ) but nothing at St Marys. The expectation...

Locadia....now let me think....still thinking....no...still can't decide....1 or 2....ok.....1.5
CH...5....and only cos we stole a draw. Too loyal to too many who flatter to...
Its amazing how much difference one player makes to a team. Last season, he hardly featured in the first seven games. He came back v Chelsea and they got their first points of the season. They walk a tightrope with him. One serious injury and they will definitely be bottom 3-4.
Burnley got 35 points in the first half of last season, including 8 from the first 5 games. One point so far, out of 15, suggests a less successful season ahead and I am not sure whether Dyche will be able to win enough ' ugly ' points to keep them out of trouble. With Bmuff, Wolves and Watford...
The five Wisden cricketers of the 20th century, voted for by a panel of 100 cricketing experts, were ( in order ).....
1 ) Bradman
2 ) Sobers
3 ) Hobbs
4 ) WARNE
5 ) Richards ( Viv )
The only specialist bowler. He was still playing when they voted. A leg-spinner voted the 4th greatest player of...
The final Test was a throwback, five days of gripping cricket, concluded in the last hour of the last day. Batsman digging in, bowlers getting on top and then losing the initiative, all good stuff.
On reflection, though, even with a 4-1 win behind them, the flaws in the England side are still...
No disagreement here.
Played 7 W 3 D 1 L 3 in the WC was a pretty moderate return considering that we had two gimme's in Panama and Tunisia and a very comfortable game against an ordinary Sweden. We lost twice to Belgium, who were much better than us and got knocked out by a lower ranked team...
My strategy as well.
Got to Mansfield on a Monday night!! Pulled into a garage on the edge of town. Attendant came out to fill up our car ( for the younger ones on here, thats what used to happen ) Asked him where the football ground was, to which he replied...." what the effing hell do you want...
....and I suppose the European fans don't get up to any antics?
I've stopped going after witnessing groups deliberately orchestrating subtle and deliberate acts to put off opponents. Not my idea of sport.
Totally agree.
......and to add....allowed annual freedom of movement into this country of unaccountable hundreds of thousands on an unprecedented scale for calculated and cynical political reasons, which has unstabilised this country and done irreparable damage. Adopted a disgraceful attitude...
I have to chuckle at posters on here who continually bring up the subject of Mark Lawrenson and yet a lot of them didn't even see him play. They have read about him and wait with baited breath for him to make mention of his time at BHA. Why should he? He is a Preston lad. His father played for...

Yes, quality has fallen and yes overpriced but that is because of the margins being taken out of them, by Piglets, the caterer and the club. This is a pie that could easily be retailed for £2.50-£2.99 or less if it was being sold directly to the club for resale. There is too much oncost built...
