Where do PNE fans get their arrogance from?

Very bitter boy - very sad. We certainly know he’ll never play in the Prem at Deepdale - must have fuck all ambition.

Think this tweet may be the most PNE fans have had to celebrate in 10 years!

Take a step back.
He has every right to be bitter.
Treated like shit by the owners and successive managers.
Oystons paid him a pittance, Riga used him as a cone in training, Clarke said he was a full back
He almost quit the game as a result of how he was treated by the club he loved.
I don't agree but can understand why he is dismissive of what we have just achieved.
If the current regime were here in his time things could have been so different............for all of us.
PS he won't kiss their badge though as he wouldn't be allowed home!

Edit....nobbers have asked where he would like his statue......that's REALLY sad

No doubt he was - but he better than anyone should know that has zero to do with Blackpool Football Club today and certainly nothing to do with the fans: who would love nothing more than to see a homegrown lad succeed in our team.

Good luck to him but inciting things like this on Twitter will only result in a hot reception back at Bloomfield Road - as many have said on Twitter, this is the digital equivalent of kissing the PNE badge.

Ask yourself this - how many other ex-BFC players have said ANYTHING negative in public about yesterday. He’s the only one - and there were plenty fucked over by the O’s.

I don’t know much about his career but could you not make the case that if he wasn’t offered a pro contract at Blackpool in the first place, he wouldn’t even be a footballer today?

Nah. not having that, he's a local lad who still owes his career to Fylde Coast football, he can fuck right off.

Here's Brett for a contrast...

The great thing is on joining the Championship is to get back to beating the Nobbers and Blackburn on a regular basis , and the Clampetts when they come down, 6 derbies a year would do me. Cocks of the north west our rightful place , which we occupied for over 30 years in the Matthews era .Ask your grand dads and dad,s !!!

Its honestly baffling, had a quick browse of a thread on their site about us in playoffs and not all of them, but some are so deluded, its laughable.

They genuinely think they are a much bigger club and were still tinpot.

Yet, two towns aprox the same population.

OK they won a few games with pigs bladders in black and white, playing with clogs on in the 1800's. Wow.

A lot of them seem to base it on a club we used to be, being owned by the oystons for decades and being limited by it. We have had our potential held back for years. We were tinpot, we all know it, compared to a decent owner now.

What have Preston done in recent history, a nothing boring soulless club with no purpose who have had almost nothing whatsoever to celebrate.

Whilst we have had multiple promotions and are the most successful playoff side ever, we turn it on when it matters. The polar opposite to them.

The passion and support of our fans is universally praised as being unbelievable, Deepdale is often like a library.

I can understand rivarly and the club being mocked in the past with the Oystons, as we were a joke with owners who didn't care. Even after only 2 years or whatever it is its already changing under Sadler.

Sadlers first season we were on for an average 10k crowd, which isn't bad for league 1 considering we had nowt to play for and a shite style of boring football under Grayson and its early in the new era, we had lost fans for many years and that takes time to rebuild.

Just to finish off with this post from their playoff thread 🤣

'What is it with Blackpool and play offs? How can one club be so lucky in them. They must have the best play off record in the country. Lincoln aren’t going to challenge that record now. 😡😡😡'

🤣🤣🤣

Its all luck lads 🤣 As Holloway said its, in part, about the energy the fans bring, we didn't stop once singing, makes sense then if its linked to fans energy and support why PNE are probably the worst playoff side in history 🤣

Even if they based it on being mismanaged for over 30 years, we still achieved more than them in that time.

What have Preston done in recent history ? ..... Well they had a rather successful season this year ... they gallantly fought off the threat of relegation !
Looking forward to next season when they finally achieve their true potential of dropping into the abyss 😌

Yep I imagine it'll send them into orgasm.

In 10 years well be talking about more relative success and they can counter with.... remember don't forget the Tom B tweet.

Big moment this in their history.

Preston fans are strange bunch. Some are okay but the majority have a strange sense of entitlement because they won the league 130 years ago against 12 other teams.

I hear them bang on about how many years they’ve played in the top flight but them only winning the league twice sums them up. They’re a nothing club that weren’t even worth singing about yesterday at Wembley.
Click to expand...
6 of their so called years in the top flight were because there was only one flight. 18 games a season and a bye to the semi final when they won the double.

The Invincibles tag was given as a sarcastic epithet, if you look at the contemporary records. They've named a stand after it. Tom Finney, fair enough, but he retired in 1960.

Bill Shankly played for them before the Second World War and only found fame elsewhere.

Alan Kelly was a mediocre keeper. Not a patch on Budgie. It goes to show the dearth of options when you pick a shit Second Division keeper for one of your four stands.

By comparison we have a Ballon D'Or winner, a scorer of 23 goals in 25 games for England, and a World Cup medallist and England captain.

No comparison between the clubs in living memory. We're better. Fact.

He doesn't want to acknowledge it, clearly.

The club that treated him badly is all gone, he knows that.

Very petty but whatever.

Its good though this, already things will spice up considerably.

We have a great squad now who have gelled as the season progressed, still improving, adding a few more to it of real quality, having the likes of cj back to tear up the championship, ain't no one catching him.

Bring it on.

Look what we can achieve in the past despite the owners and lack of clear investment.

Yeah Matthews, Mortensen and Armfield are pretty hard to beat.

I think in head to head in the recent history like past 50 years its been neck and neck, they have advantage going further back.

We've won a lot more in my lifetime than they have, especially at Bloomfield Rd.

It'll certainly be interesting to see how we cope with Championship football with proper owners. Looking forward to it, especially the local derbies. I've had some good banter over the years working with an almost even split of PKE & Pool supporters quite a few years ago, there were a few knobs who actually really hated us, most were just normal but supported a different team, it did make it better when we got one over on them though, hearing the excuses. As for Tom B I'd expect him to get pelters, which can only fire us up. Look what Wellens got subjected to. Still just sinking in 😀

Britain's first stretch of motorway, the M6 Preston bypass. No coincidence, everyone wants to avoid the place.

As I always say, the best thing to come out of Preston is the M55.

PS isn't it great to already start thinking about a proper Derby game 😉

They think there massive they won a league championship before the war which couldn’t of been that hard . They had a half decent team with moyes but bottle it twice in playoffs . Believe me they were devastated we got in the prem . And they will hate it more , when in the championship they see how much the chairman manager players have a love for the club , Blackpool are a special club . Critch is god Sadler is god , watch us nit be far off the playoffs next year with bobbers relegated a
 
Been reading their forum amongst other championship forums and they are not happy. Seems to eat away at them constantly that us, burnley, wigan etc have made the PL and they haven't.

Talk that us eclipsing them next year may be the final straw and they'll boycott, or not bring out the "loud and proud" flags or something, they're apoplectic that Brentford have done it before them, we can tip the final domino next year by finishing above them.
 
Although they are completely wrong the fact that they think we are just lucky and dont win anything on merit makes me smile. It must piss them off even more.

The words used earlier that they are just sitting in the Championship waiting to get relegated is bang on.

They have an owner who bought the club hoping he could replicate his own success in business and make a shed load of money out of it.

I suspect he has realised that he bought a load of rubbish and has lost interest and won't invest anything to get them anywhere.

Their owner Trevor Hemmings is a billionaire. If he thought pne was worth investing in further he probably would.

Our situation now is the polar opposite.

Just my thoughts anyway.

I remember someone on the old forum posting a joke of his, I've never been able to find it anywhere so can't confirm it was definitely by him - but it gave me a good laugh regardless. Something along the lines of:

*scouse accent on*
"Me and me manager were lost once on the way to a gig in Preston. We've left the hotel and we're running late and we can't find the bleedin' place anywhere, we've been driving round and round for ages and I tell 'im "ask that bloke there"

We pull up "excuse me mate, d'ya know where such-a-place is?"

he tell's us "sorry pal I don't, but if you just go round that corner there you'll find the Tourism Information Centre and they'll be able to find it for you"

I thought to myself "Tourist Information Centre.. in Preston?" What do they tell ya? Blackpool's ** that way!"

When you say before the war, you forget to mention it was the Madhist War in the Sudan or possibly the Boxer rebellion. 😂 😂

Christ just went over to PNE-Online, what a deluded bunch of twats.

Just seen critique of our "single Premier League season" described as "a failure" because it was a straight up and back down job. Let's compare shall we:
- Blackpool FC had played in the top flight as recently as 1970 (we relegated Preston whilst at it)
- Preston North End haven't played in the top flight since 1960
- Blackpool FC returned to the top flight AGAIN in 2010

So not only did we already have a decade's jump on them in playing in the top flight, we gave them 40 years on top of that to catch up before we pipped them AGAIN to play in the top flight. If THAT is failure, what is Preston North End?

Attempting to find the logic behind a Nobber being able to refer to that as failure has absolutely baffled me. I should have learnt by now not to try understand the inner-workings of their deluded minds.

I feel nothing for them or their town. City? Don't make me laugh, they haven't even got one pier.

Nobody gives a damn about them; millions of people pass it every year and look past it. It has a history predicated on its location then rather than now. Nobody that travels to their ground really cares for their trip; they look at going onto Blackpool.

It burns them up that we are loved and that people just go 'meh' at their town.
 
I lived in Winckley Square and Ashton for a few years. There are some good pubs, nice parks and decent shops, but no entertainment venues of any worth. Hell, it doesn't even have a theatre now the Guild Hall has closed. In truth it's a pretend city based on a university and some shops. You wouldn't go there for a holiday and there's no reason to spend much time there. The best I can say is it's near the seaside and the Ribble Valley.
