Some cracking Lancashire derby's.
But the kind of games you don't need to be honest.
Nothing like the derby factor to upset the formbook.

BBC did a docu on him back in his heyday and it showed him doing this on his NY hotel bed.

I think his tracking back would be no worse than Zaroury and Benson and they didn't do too bad for us in the Championship
I'm not sure you were paying attention last season.

Kind of dependant on where you get to sit at Goodison, but I've got two differing opinions:
a) It's a great example of a traditional old football ground
b) Its a sh!thole

Tresor would rip Championship defences apart next season. I hope he stays even though it is unclear.
I've seen nothing to suggest that would be the case.

This desperate journalism for a national broadcaster.
Well below any ethical standard, BBC should never have polls about managers like this.
Don't forget they employ Chris Sutton.

Not sure how much of a difference he would have made football wise.
But we certainly miss his smile and positivity around the place.
You seriously don't think he would have made a difference to this team, football wise?
Have you seen any of his games in the Bundesliga?

I have one of Kate's guitars, though to be fair, she's never seen it!
My mate built her one but in his opinion it wasn't 'perfect'- so he went ahead and made her the perfect one, and I have the first one.
Absolutely nothing wrong with it.

Funny how times change, I worked with Bad Manners and the Beat in the early 90’s they hated the studio and just wanted to play live.
I spend a lot of time in the studio but you really can't beat playing live.
I loved The Beat, really underrated musicians.

My mate had a club in Yorkshire in the 70's, and I overheard him on the phone telling this band to **** off.
'Cheeky b******s wanted £300' he said to me.
That was The Damned.
He did get The Pistols on though.

From BBC:
Arsenal are the second team to net at least five goals in three successive top flight away matches, after Burnley in September 1961 (6-2 at Birmingham City, 6-2 at Leicester City, 5-3 at Fulham).
I would suggest it was a much more level playing field in 1961.

Their keeper made 6 saves on Sunday (1 great save and 5 run of the mill saves)! But still 6 on target!
Apart from the free kick I would have had a good chance of saving the rest, they were more like overhit back passes.
As alluded to, it was absolutely criminal that we didn't sign Tella.

He ran up to the touchline to wallop the matchball into the Longside Lower to give himself time, and ended up down the slope. The Bournemouth player ignored this and simply picked a new ball off the cone to take the throw. Dara was annoyed by this as he ended up behind him as he was taking the throw...

Him and JBL were terrible up front.
It was so bad I was thinking we'd be better off with Amdouni and Jay Rod.
