Poor kid

 

Just remember - if it had've been a Newcastle fan, everyone would be p***** themselves laughing.

Remember a couple of Newcastle fans bubbling at Blackbums & Liverpuddle after we threw away the Prem ?

The mocking stays with me. It was only a couple of distraught young lads, but EVERYONE mocked - EVERYONE

INCLUDING the media.

I'll never forget or forgive that

So - couldn't give a rats fart for the kid

BUT - nor will i take the p*ss.

Roy Hodgson makes a valid point regarding refs from "minor nations"

 

Hodgson said: "Do you want to go down the Redknapp route - only England, Italy and Spain count?"

 

"There's 60 countries in Europe. Do we say to the other 57: 'Sorry pal, you're not Premier League'."

 

Hodgson, who managed Viking FK in Norway in 2004-5, added: "Norway is good enough. The average crowd in Norway is 15,000 and that's in a country of 4m. We can only average 25,000 in a country of 60m people.

 

"What are we going to do in future? Are we going to make certain because the Premier League has Sky Sports behind them and loads and loads of money if you are not in England then forget all about it?

 

"Are we going to say 'You're from Spain, you might be just about okay but the rest of you, Switzerland, France, Poland, Russia, Austria, Ukraine, Slovenia, Serbia, you don't count?' It's nonsense."

I was thinking when Souness was ranting, that the referee can't help where he's from. Anders Frisk was a very highly respected referee, from a 'minor country'

 

Easy excuse IMO

Aye it's a good point, an obvious one however and anyone that argues the point that Redknapp is making is completely deluded and fucking diabolically stupid.

Would love to visit Preston's ground sometime, hopefully we'll both be in the Prem next year

 

I went there in pre-season.

 

It's much the same as all the other new-build, one tier grounds that have sprung up in the last ten years with the exception of the snazzy floodlights. I suppose it's got the Football Museum as well if you want to make a day of it.

 

It's not far from the town centre which is handy but Preston itself is rubbish.

Jon Parking and Neil Mellor have got to be the fattest striking partenership in Play-off history.

 

I remember when Neil Mellor was supposed to be the next Michael Owen. :lol:

That goal against Arsenal springs to mind. He's had bad luck with injuries, so really he is the next Michael Owen.:lol:

 

Decent game this, am I right in saying there's no away goals rule in this.

Aye, Preston is shit, bit of a Stoke clone the town centre is and also the ground is pretty dam boring, were building a new bit on one side when i went.

Also the footbal museum is very very good. Loved it, wasted hours in there!

Not much difference between them now. :(

 

I know he's not our player but you shouldn't insult Neil Mellor like that :lol:
