USA have started like a train today. This could be all over bar the shouting by 5pm at this rate.

The Council Collective - Soul Deep

So Lancs need a shade under 200 to win. A tall order but doable. No silly risks please. Warwickshire on top against Somerset but not nailed on to win yet. Very exciting end to the county championship over the next day/day and a half.

Badly Drawn Boy - Stone On the Water

Here it is mate,

Ha ha ha

Pretty sure there is a fairly recent thread on this same subject?

Very finely balanced game with Lancs just about on top as it stands - though I wouldn't like to have to chase anything much over 100 tbh. All eyes are also on Somerset batting against Warwickshire now - they have been hopeless with the bat since the 4 day games resumed, lets hope they show a bit more grit today (and hopefully tomorrow too!)

He's signed a few that are on the pitch an' all.

Lancashire struggling badly in reply to 140-odd. Currently 27 for 5 and that's a shame because the other two games are going ok for us.

Europe are 2/1 to win on Skybet. That seems generous to me, for many of the reasons you have highlighted. Really looking forward to it and hope its a close contest as it is enthralling to watch the singles matches if it goes down to the wire.

Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals - Fight Outta You

He’s only saying that now to save face Chaddy. Had the Vs stumped up the cash for signings at the point of takeover he would have been happy to stay. It was the Walker Trust he was pissed off at

Good day so far for Lancs - the other games are going okay for us too really, though I would feel better if Warwickshire lost 2 or 3 quick wickets.

They sacked him chaddy, before he got a chance to move us to the next stage. I should have thought that was obvious?

For some reason nobody seems to have posted the fact that Accy Stanley have since scored 3 and are 3-1 up........

T'was ever thus.........

I think his gambling addiction issues are fairly well documented.

The Monkees - Daydream Believer

I suppose we are into ifs and buts territory again but I'm pretty certain Big Al would have scored 30+ in the first premier league season for us as well had Dirty Leeds not lived up to their reputation on Boxing Day. Which would have been another way to break that record.

As others have said, the date could do with being corrected in the thread title. Otherwise a great write-up. The Worthington Cup Final weekend was a highlight of 50+ years of watching Rovers for me, possibly even beats Anfield 95. A couple of other players to wear both shirts recently (although neither played many games for us) are Greg Cunningham and the late Peter Whittingham. Other notable recent incidents in this fixture were Shane Duffy's disgraceful last game for us and Arma's worldie a couple of seasons ago. I think I would take a point right now. Edit - just realised its actually a home game so no, I want all 3 points now :)

Ha ha ha - welcome to my world!

Robbie Fowler at his LFC peak was a lot like him Gav. I can’t think of a comparable Rovers striker tbh. Shearer was a different type of player really.

If being near the bottom of the league after 8 games means you’re a poor side or in poor form, surely the converse applies and Rovers sitting in 6th must be a decent side or in decent form? You can’t have it both ways. Its too early to get hung up about league positions. PS - I don’t disagree with your predictions as far as how Rovers season is likely to go necessarily.
