i wouldn’t have missed the adrenaline rush that was the 70’s & 80’s. Glad it ended and sanity was restored but by christ it was character building. Anybody who has stood on Gosford Green or Pork Chop hill and saw the Red Army or the Zulus or the ICF marching to the ground and didn’t shit...

A draw and a win….a decent start to the season.

Agree with this. We were a decent striker away from a win yesterday and can’t fault the effort but we needed a Micky Quinn and it would have been a comfortable morale boosting result!

You mean like integrating Grimes was hard? good players are good players and will adapt

Not discounting anything. Supposed? Did you see the goal or was that Simms fault?

He made several errors in the first half, got away with a similar move beforehand that led to their first goal.

The elephant in the room is the goalkeeper. On Saturday he was as bad as Collins ever was in the first half and hopefully he has got that out of system but I worry that he has not inspired confidence in the defenders. Eric McManus vibes for the older brethren.

Broadly speaking I agree with you and the Robins regime should be lauded for their part in the bringing us from the storm to much calmer waters. King is the type of chairman we needed after Joy, Fisher and SISU and has been a positive force in our continued growth. It does take more than one man...

Yes that was it…

No it was used when we played teams in blue or even against Spurs or Leeds. Theres a famous photo with Tommy Hutchison and the toilet roll when we played Spurs and wore brown. No idea why.

What will continue to grow? Our gates are historically high, Championship gates are thriving. There is no evidence of any price backlash. I believe our policy of pricing is flawed, especially for the kids but Doug King has a duty to try and make the club both solvent and successful and the fans...

jimmy Hill but soon left having introduced Noel Cantwell who was manager for my first game v Fulham a couple of weeks later

I thought the transfer window was closed at the moment?

Slade not Robins.

I would advise Lampard to pick a team of players who have not played against Preston in a Sky Blue shirt. Hire an exorcist, explore Voodoo, anything to break the curse of PNE. This has to be our time.
