Re: Double Champions
I’m guessing it’s because we are champions but at the start nobody was looking any further than Sheff Utd. I could be wrong.

Stanley still alive - just.
Amidst all our excitement tonight I’d almost forgot Stanley we’re playing at Bolton. Absolutely terrific win against a team who have beat them twice already this season. Really hope they can make it. 2 points adrift with two to play. All to do but fingers crossed.

Re: Sometimes you have to say it as it is
People think you are the favourites for going up via play offs, and best of luck to you. You’re main problem is Luton are playing out of their skins at the moment. You and them in the final would be some game to watch.

Re: 101 points?
I think now we will stroll to 101. No pressure. Won it at Ewood (did he tell them to ease off?). Bristol nothing to play for (their heads will be on the beach). Cardiff are Rubbish. Only thing that will stop it is if VK gives the fringe lads a run out, which I wouldn’t blame him for.

Re: Our special goals at Deadwood
I’ll never forget Cochran’s goal but for sheer satisfaction it must be our late equaliser back in the seventies (was it Flynn). I was behind the goal in the Darwen end and jumped so high I landed badly on the terrace and limped out of the ground with a sprained ankle. But did I care? Not a jot.
