What am I talking about?
Preston North End.
How come other Nationwide teams (Wigan for example) can put on a show against Premiership teams where as we just get creamed?
And it really rubs it in when Aston Villa are the team to do it.
Just as things were looking up in the league we stumble against a mediocre Premiership side.
Looks like the terraces are right when they sing:
"He's fat, he's round,
He's taking Preston down,
Craigy Brown, Craigy Brown".
Absolute cack.

Yeh, he is out for the rest of the season with a knee injury.

Isn't Ricardo Fuller out injured though?
If it is true (I don't follow Preston or anything, but I've heard this), then that'll be a major blow for Preston, as I've seen him play, and he's class.

The Unsworth and Gronkjaer fiasco was just handbags, nothing serious at all, im sure Unsworths red card will be rescinded after the FA have looked at the incident.
However you saw the Birmingham incidents differently to me, are you Mr Winter by any chance? :D

The Premiership clearly showed that Purse's hit his arm but it was a case of ball to arm i would say, so that was a bit harsh.
However it also showed that the balll clearly hit James Beattie's thigh not his hand ( and I think he deserves that bit of luck with the referee making the right decision)
I'm not sure about unsworth's sending off (and I'm a chelsea fan so........... but a least Gronkjaer pleaded unsworth's innocence.

What about yesterday's result for the North End, 3-1 up against Wimbledon midway through the second half, lost 3-5.
Nearly went on as I could not get tickets for Utd v Arsenal, glad I did not.

Refs and their assistants.....don't you just love 'em :D
Sometimes you do, sometimes NOT!
I'm off out now for a celebratory oooh Saints are in 7th place in the league drink :D

Today hurts cos after Mr Winter (i think that was his name) gave Southampton a penalty for Darren Purse chesting the ball...absolutely no hands whatsoever, the ref then decides that after the ball hit one of your players hands in your penalty area that all we deserved was a corner... so the ref admits that your player made contact with the ball otherwise we wouldnt have got the corner...
My point is that TV will show BOTH incidents clearly tonight (i hope it does anyway) that Southamptons penalty was NEVER a penalty and that Birmingham should have got a penalty for a nailed on hand ball minutes later.
Just how inconsistent is that?
Watch it tonight, you will be shocked at the two incidents, although in your case you will be pleasantly shocked wehereas im totally incensed at the pathetic Mr Winter and his assistants.

Well I was sat the other end of the ground so I can't comment, you'll have to blame the referee as he was a tad closer than me. I'll watch it tonight or tomorrow morning, if it wasn't then hey so what, it's about time some good luck went our way!
By the way, did you see the West Ham - Saints game? Was that a blatent penalty on Beattie or did you think the ref got it right?

Theres nothing to take back, i wasnt dissing Southampton, i merely said that the Preston fan would have been equally as grieved had Preston lost to Southampton the same as he was that they lost to Villa.
By the way that penalty Southampton got today was NEVER a penalty and anyone watching TV tonight will agree with me, Purse chested the ball and theres not a sole alive that can say he handled it...
Southampton lucked out today, you're currently enjoying the same kind of run that Everton did, Evertons wheels have come off now and we can expect to see them slide down the table in a very similar way to that which Southampton will when their good run ends too (and i wont be taking that back either :p

Hope your going to take that statement back now, seeing as we're now 7th in the league! I get really fed up with everyone including Rodney (I'm a #@!"£*&^()^%$$££"") Marsh going on about how rubbish we are and should be going down this year!
Well look at the stats, we've lost at home this year (not this season) but in 2002......twice....yes twice, so I think some people should shut the hell up and realise we aren't as rubbish as everyone says!
