I have no objection to writing 'Blackpool'. As Funky says merely a joke and I suppose given that Fleetwood are now a league club possibly ambiguous - is Fleetwood on the Fylde Coast? Perhaps I should copy Gary Peters and refer to them as 'Them lot with the Tower'. I suppose you are right such things are a bit regressive - but as I always like to observe the day I stop being as bothered about how we play as when I first started watching will be the day I stop being bothered at all.

I remember when John Beck took charge of Lincoln not long after leaving us...... Circa 1996 ish
We went on a Mercer’s coach and it was a freezing cold day and the game finished 0-0 ....
It looked a nice City, so I wouldn’t mind a return trip.....
Yeah, I think Sunderland have the potential to be a successful team again and if they got promoted I don’t think that they would go down...
Lincoln is a lovely City and well worth a weekend trip. The walk up to the Castel and Cathederal at the top end of The High street is a challenge though. The section up to the Castle is actually called Steep Hill..... and for good reason. Browns Pie shop at the top of Steep Hill is a resturaunt that sells every kind of pie and it's superb. Good pubs in Lincoln as well.
Smack head, trampy twats is more appropriate
Dear me Ernest is mild, compared to the bloody commentary on Coventry i.follow last game, bloody sky blues this,sky blues that, sky blues the other, never ever using the correct term, coventry, coventry city, city !!!
Anything but the correct term!!
It got right on my tits that and i dont know why !! And now i have wound myself up again over it !!
But I should have added I appreciate your sentiments.
Never understand the obsession with seeing them relegated.
It’s not many seasons ago we had Bolton, Wigan, Blackpool, all as derbies, Burnley as well which obviously makes for brilliant home and away games
Rather then play teams which are pretty much meaningless to us but maybe a distance away or near London. I just don’t get the obsession to be honest
Some really good pubs, especially at the top of the hill. Mind you, that's some hill.
One intense rivalry is that between Norwich and Ipswich. Some years back the half-time electronic scoreboard at Norwich famously flashed up a score from Portman Road beginning 'Scum 0'.
Keep it up ernest. I like your posting style. 🙂

Yep, and he took a certain hardworking young winger with him, who he then sold for a big profit to Port Vale, who then sold him for £2m.
Wonder whatever happened to that lad? 😊

Can call them what he wants.
Fisherman’s Friends?
Hello sailor
I didn't realise he went to Lincoln, I wasn't happy when he was let go by PNE. Played with passion.
The Sky Blues thing did my head, in even the Mrs. said why does he keep calling them that. Because he's a twat. Also strangely only referred to us as Preston North End and rarely as Preston. I had to turn the volume down in the end it was too much

Yes roof on now , I remember it well, as i was in the Fratton end as my mate is a massive pompey fan , when we scored i jumped up then had to remember where i was so had to sit on my hands but had a massive smile on my face. With my mate scowling at me
The season before we beat them 1 nil as well with Healy scoring .
