Voted for Dembele. He floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee. 😁 Reading through the thread, several people mentioned the word "joy" - that's what he brings to the game. His control is like no one else in this league, or probably even in the Championship. I wish him a great future -...

"struggled to get emotionally invested ... frustrating ... boring ... " - sums up my views perfectly. I would add that I can no longer bear to see Critchley's face spouting his pathetic excuses. When they asked me why I'd cancelled my Tangerine TV subscription that's what I told them, and made...

Not for much longer. You think the Hemmings family are going to keep pouring money into a lost cause, after another failure to make the play-offs?

https://www.lancs.live/news/lancashire-news/deprived-lancashire-area-named-most-28997892?int_source=nba "But what about Blackpool?", they will say. Not even mentioned in the top ten. Blackburn and Burnley are high on the list though. Could this stress be football related?

It wouldn't surprise me if "Charlie Adam's Tangerine Army" was sung very loudly, especially if we're losing.

At least he's trying something different. Dembele, Beasley and Kouassi upfront could be a decent strike force. I'm always optimistic before kick-off - the triumph of hope over experience.

Steve Thompson to replace one or both of Critchley's stooges (what do they actually do anyway?). Like others, I'd like to lose Critchley, but I know that won't happen. Simon Sadler will give him another season hoping things will improve. They won't, unless he takes steps to improve them - see...

An engineer comes to work one day with a new bike. His friend says "Cool bike. Where did you get it?" First guy says "I was walking home through the park. A beautiful woman on a bike rode up, jumped off the bike, stripped naked, and told me to take whatever I wanted. I took the bike." "Good...

Critchley will be furious with the second goal. He loves a 1-0 almost as much as a 0-0.

I saw this first on Twitter and this was my reply: I let my BST membership lapse because I thought they had lost focus on their real job. I shall have to reconsider that now.

There are no positives in this. Critch will blame the team for not following the plan. He'll cry all the way to the bank ... again!

As you say, there are so many rules that the refs don't enforce at the moment, either through incompetence, indifference, and sometimes malice. The 6-second rule that Grimshaw flouts regularly exasperates me. The foul throws where one foot is clearly off the ground is another. Most of all, the...

Up the Bristol Street Trophy Cup League we go!

Pity we don't get to welcome Appleton, but we can put that stored energy into backing the team. I'm not worried about the "new manager bounce" - unless they've hired Dobbie on the quiet! 😁 We'll win this if we play with the form we've shown recently. 3-1 to the Mighty!

Apparently we have three named stands, though two of the names are rarely used. From Wikipedia: "The three permanent stands are named the Stan Mortensen North Stand (denoted by the acronym "B.F.C." spelled out in white seats, the Jimmy Armfield South Stand (with "ARMFIELD" spelled out in white...
