Think horse face actually meant 34 years behind!

Just some harmless banter, hardly like I’ve got an obsession!

Sliding doors moments. Plenty of chances it could’ve been us. But for good managerial appointments and a bit of luck.

Essentially yes it's just not had a sponsor for a few years now.

I say yes, time to put bad blood between our neighbours and us to bed. It’s about time we could go to a match and enjoy the banter without animosity between us all.

It's a fixture where my 'obsession ' makes it difficult to decide who I'd like to win this one.

Listening to VK it sounds as if we are 2-3 years ahead of a 3-4 year plan to return us to the top flight

Shows how effective that sponsorship was - no great recognition!

Yep. A fixture and occasion many fans still recall fondly 35 years ( :-o ).

The game today was a big following unsurprisingly. But unbelievable to see it was the highest gate in Europe. 80,000 on. Incredible really.

Owen Coyle. Well it was good while it lasted. But I we’ve come on a tad since then. Don’t you think?

On 5 year plans or 10 year plans.. or being years ahead as you often hear pundits say, I'm always a bit sceptical.

Liverpool were apparently 'light years' ahead of Man Utd last season. They're 8 points behind them this season. The right manager and a couple of inspired signings and any gap can vanish in a year. There's many a Claret who can remember growing up thinking we'd never play the B**tards again, let alone dominate them as we have, but that will swing round again one day too.

Anyway, well done to Bolton, can't begrudge them that yesterday.
