The deal favoured West Spam and penalised WBA so if anything West Spam will be in the doghouse for insisting on that aspect of the deal not WBA.
BFS off the hook again, although hard to see how he was on the hook this time.

You’d better remind Sean about these signings.
He will not need reminding about signings just needs to be reminded to stick to the facts.

Disingeuous again our Sean, this time about missing the January sales since he has been with us. I recall Barnes, Lennon, Brady Brownhill signing as well as Keane's loan becoming permanent plus Crouchy and there may be others signed at this time of year I have missed.

They were knocked out by Colchester in 1971 when that Revie team was at its pinnacle but let's not shout too loudly given our record as a top flight team at home against non-league opponents (Wimbledon and Lincoln).

Looking at the subs bench I would hazard a guess that Peacock-Farrell, Dunne and Long are isolating and that is why Tarks and maybe Mee played. And it is possible Brownhill and Westy are also isolating, otherwise they might have been expected to be subs at least. Likely a pretty weakened team agains...

If the premier league have moved to lateral flow resting where the result is available in about 30 minutes then it is hardly surprising cases are rising amongst footballerswho once showing a negative test intermingle with colleagues. At best this test will miss 30% even up to 50% of positive cases

Relegated in 1967, leaving us as the only Lancashire town club left in the top flight (Preston 1961, Bolton 1964, Blackburn 1966). However, they came back up in 1970 for one year.
