No idea why but feeling 2-0 City tonight. We’ll nick one in the first half then add a late one as they push forward. Just waiting for the train from Preston, getting excited!

I'm going to stick to the simpleton approach of just going to watch 22 men kick a ball around and hoping the ones in blue score more

Fuck it, I'm in. Just bought my ticket, decided to let future me worry about the trains. See you on Tuesday lads!

This was going to be my first game of the season but the trains have put paid to that. Normally just over an hour on the train from Manchester but bus replacement is doubling that on the way there and the journey back would be nigh on 4 hours

Fancied Andreu today, big fan of his, but for some reason my bet was voided before kick off so missed out on that one. Watched Salford v Leyton Orient earlier, stuck a couple of 0.1s on at half time including 1-0 Salford @ 4.50, was about to cash out +0.3 in the 86th minute when Orient equalised...

That's why I said "relatively safe". No 8-way is safe but if you told someone to pick 7 league winners and they went with the 7 favourites you wouldn't say they'd taken a big risk, especially when PSG/Bayern/Celtic/Juve are in a period of sustained dominance. I don't think Liverpool quite have...

I'm feeling 2-0 City based on nothing other than blind new season optimism and the fact the Scunny fella didn't sound very confident

Agree as long as one of them is Kohli. If they're 6 down at the close but he's still in, I'd give them a chance

Pretty sure it's 9th August, same as the Premier League

Last time we were in League 1 our first home game was the 2nd weekend v Shrewsbury and we got 10,296. That came off the back of the capitulation from leaders under Mowbray. Accounting for people on holiday still I'd like to think with the lingering feel good factor from promotion and...

I've played it relatively safe and gone 8-way outright on: Man City PSG Celtic Bayern Juve Porto Salford Liverpool (FA Cup) £5 @ 176.39 for £880ish return

It's only a fiver if you get a lunchtime admission ticket too. Shows me I should go with my instincts and just get a ticket in the future, sadly I put it down to still being on a hype after the T20 on Friday so resisted. Luckily they do a live stream with the Radio Lancashire commentary so I...

I was gutted, toyed with the idea of going to watch Day 1 but decided I'd give it a miss and do some jobs round the house. Missed that hat-trick and 19 wickets going down, would have been a great use of £10 and a Sunday

Now team orders are allowed I let it slide. It makes sense when you have 1 driver with a higher chance of winning the championship and can bring home a 1-2 as well. I don't know why but I just got the feeling that when Mercedes made a tyre call that ballsy it was going to work. Maybe not for the...

The 2018 season just keeps on giving! Great race yesterday, was probably made better by the fact the rain stuck to one part of the track when it came. You knew Hamilton would get somewhere near the top 6 even from 14th but the way it all fell for him was ridiculous. Great call on the tyres and...

At Old Trafford for Lancs v Yorks. 14 overs each because of rain. Lancs batted first, 176-2. Great innings!

Tbf it must be a bugger being a fan of another decent National League club, if you assume Salford are going to romp the league you're essentially writing this season off unless you get up through the play-offs. The ones I've seen on Twitter just want Salford promoted as quickly as possible to...

It's a difficult one because as soon as any club comes into some money everyone else will naturally get jealous, but I'm sure wouldn't mind if it was their own club. FC Fylde got taken over by a local businessman who pumped his money in and got them from regional leagues to the Conference, just...

He really hasn't helped himself there. Says he's proved himself at that level so no-one should question his ambition and that he's never played for money...having dropped 2 divisions to more than double his wages
