    Are you an Optimist or a Pessimist?

    I've always been an optimist and always looked on the bright side of life, I suppose it stems from my parents and my grandparents who had to endure two World Wars. My four 'kids' are the same and my six grandkids will (fortunately) be brought up the same way with the same outlooks and beliefs...

    Favourite football songs/chants, excluding BFC's

    Only one for me: When the ball hits the goal, it's not Shearer or Cole...it's Zamora! I loved it back in 2005, PMSL and still waiting for mi pants to dry!! 🧡

    Has Rob Apter gone AWOL, or what?!

    From the glimpses I've seen of him, he looks to be the most naturally-gifted footballer with the ball at his feet than anybody else on our books. Why does he not get a look-in when he's the type of player that we're crying out for, to unlock tight defensive formations that we come up against...

    Bowler in England squad!

    James Anderson, one of the greatest bowlers the world has ever seen. Must be worth a million for each year on the planet? £40,000,000 equals 10 times our Josh, just a shame he's from Burnley (not Josh, James). How the fuck he bowls so well (James, not Josh) with six fingers is totally beyond...

    Songs that you associate with our beloved BFC🧡

    For me it's "I will always love you" ... by the late and great Whitney Houston.🧡

    Pickering 3 again versus the Nobenders!

    I can't believe that Harry didn't put one in their onion bag last night😨the night was made for him?! Just over 52 years ago (on 13th April 1970) since our fantastic fearless Fred fired in 3 to send us up to Division 1 and, in reality, condemn them to Division 3. 34,000 at Deepdale that...

    Snooker loopy nuts are we, we're all snooker loopy!🧡

    We've stuffed the Nobenders since the days when I was a lad, they know there's no fuckin' way they'll ever be back, they're bad 👌🧡 A snooker question will follow later...so follow follow follow, it's gonna be the snooker question to follow... and there's nobody better than Ludo Sylvestre, he's...

    Gonna go on the ale with Owen Dale...

    Then pop in to Yates's Wine Lodge for a couple of Aussie White wines and several cheap-n-nasty imitation-Bacardi white rums-n-coke, then totter round to Man Friday's and sober-up😜before the smoochers come on at 10 2 2...you've abandoned me, love don't live here anymore!😱🤩 And if the...

    When I was just a little boy...

    I was in Angel's discotheque in Burnley So a sed to this bird, d'yer fuck? Shi sez a do now yer smooth-talking devil! Well it was the wrong fuckin' answer, so me and mi mate just got rat-faced and set fire to our ginger-mate's hair, happy days with Swan Vestas! Those were the days my friend...

    Show me the way to go home...

    Just popped on AVFTT again whilst nearing the end of a break away, Kit-Kats were always my favourite but hey-ho can't win 'em all! Having recently rediscovered the bug after 10 years away from the board, I thought I'd have a look--in Kos I didn't really fancy a lock-in. Had a few sherbets and...

    3 teams (English/Scottish/International) you liked as a youngster, and why...

    Birmingham - sounded a dead strong word to me and I always looked out for their result Third Lanark - similarly, sounded rock-hard and was gutted when they bit the dust in the mid-60s Hungary - just because they contained my name BUT ALWAYS ONE LOVE, ONE 🧡

    What's your fave 'Pool chant/song over the years?

    I've got loads in my hit parade, but a particular song (not chant) we used to sing back in the 70s was ... with thanks to Terry Jacks for a shite song (google 'Seasons in the Sun' if you're under 60) ... We had joy, we had fun We had Preston on the run But the joy didn't last 'Coz the bastards...

    Our best chants and songs through the years...

    BM53's thread 'We love you Blackpool' kick-started me off to post this thread - I posted one of my faves on his!👍 As I'm knocking on a bit, I reckon it would be great to educate the youngsters with all our favourite songs and chants from the past. Also vice-versa, because I'm prone to asking...
