So who is North End's No.1 Bogey Team. Well based on the last ten meetings in the league it is Derby County whom we have managed to win just 3 points off. Followed by Fulham (6) and Swansea City (7). We have just one win against Middlesbrough and only two wins against Barnsley and Leeds.

Top spot goes jointly to Bristol City and Luton Town having taken 22 points off both of them with 7 wins against Luton and six against Bristol although we are undefeated against the latter. We have won the last 6 encounters with QPR and amassed 21 points against them.

Food for thought.
 
Reading surely in recent years?

They seem to have been play off killers in last two seasons with defeats down there around April, good this time the away match is October.

Also won at Deepdale last season.

We've beaten them 4 times since returning to this level, not exactly a bogey side we have been poor there on our last couple of visits.
 
Talking of Bogies, my mate was staying in a hotel near East Midlands airport the weekend before last and sent me a picture of the door of room 139.

On it was taped a sign saying "Club name - Newcastle Utd, Staff Name - Ian Bogie".

He didn't spot the stocky midfield maestro though.
 
Used to dread any game against Gillingham. I think it was Craig Brown who eventually broke the hoodoo. More recently Leeds have been a bloody nuisance.

I thought you were going to say there were just loads of bogeys on the door. 🤢

A lot of players looked like world beaters when Colin was playing...

Essentially you’re saying that North End’s ultimate bogey player was Colin Murdoch!

For the record, I have pretty positive memories of Murdoch. Was he really that bad? Or has he become a pantomime villain with hindsight?
