Alan Irvine is being linked with the vacant West Brom manager post.  A bit flattering for North End, but unwelcome. Papers in the midlands have a list of likely candidates.  Former WBA captain Derek McInnes is a favourite of the … Continue reading →

August 8, Morecambe in the Carling Cup at Deepdale. Morecambe havn’t reached the status of deadly local rivals and maybe they’ll bring some shrimps so take some butter to the game. They beat PNE last time so don’t get cocky.  … Continue reading →

Watched the Deepdale game in full on TV while on holiday overseas. Do the players know how far their fame is spread. Overall PNE put on a decent display and looked threatening but without showing any real flair.  Sheffields goal in … Continue reading →

One has to say,  jolly good result. Against a team that could still get an automatic promotion spot.  Sealed at least 8th for PNE and 4th still possible although only Burnley have a worse goal difference.  A good season, doing … Continue reading →

After the complaints last year and Derek Shaw giving and retracting notice, the sense of PNE’s conservative financial policy is looking clearer (I’d add that the Made in Preston site has always supported this policy, ref 29/8/07  ).  This seasons financials weren’t … Continue reading →

6 games to go, 3 at home. It will be a miracle if PNE get into the play-offs, they’ll need to win at least 4 games as they’re 5 points adrift assuming Cardiff make some use of their games in … Continue reading →

Saturday 7th March – Crystal Palace 2 PNE 1.  Tuesday 10th March – PNE 1 Sheff Wed 1. Not exactly promotion form. Neither opponent had been doing well. Add in Notts Forest last week and the story isn’t too great. … Continue reading →

Tuesday 3rd March. Billy Davies strikes back, I’m a fan of his.   The Lancashire Evening Post gave the impression PNE could have won, they’re still well placed.

PNE are sitting in a great position after 35 games. Todays game against Ipswich was a ‘six pointer’ and Ipswich were on a run so the 3-2 win kept them in the play-off position. Only Sheffield United can move them … Continue reading →

Been some debate about moving the Football Museum to Wembley. Don’t see why. Wembley gets big crowds for the few games it holds but is miles out of the centre. I only see it when travelling at 100mph on a … Continue reading →
