Are we in trouble?

"Six Preston North End footballers were among seven players arrested in connection with a spot-fixing investigation, the BBC understands.

The club's captain John Welsh and players Keith Keane, Bailey Wright, David Buchanan, Ben Davies and Graham Cummins were arrested on Thursday.
All six have expressed their innocence to the club and have been bailed.
Barnsley midfielder Stephen Dawson was also arrested and bailed. He has been unavailable for comment.
The investigation concerns matches this season and last season.
'Business as usual' A Preston North End spokesman said: "We are disappointed that individual player names are in the public domain given that none of these individuals have been charged with any offence.
"Having had time to meet with all the individuals concerned we reiterate our position that all players will remain available for selection by the manager and that until or unless the current situation changes it will be business as usual."

In a statement, Barnsley Football Club said it was "aware of reports in media in connection with an investigation into individuals suspected of conspiracy to commit acts of bribery and money laundering relating to conduct during football matches".
The BBC understands three of the Preston players are expected to play on Saturday.
Ben Davies and Graham Cummins are on loan at League Two sides York City and Rochdale respectively.
On Thursday, the National Crime Agency said six other men arrested in December on suspicion of involvement in spot-fixing and later bailed, had been re-arrested.
Those arrested in December - including former Premier League player DJ Campbell - had been bailed to return on 8 April.
Spot-fixing is where a player corruptly influences a specific element of a match, for example by intentionally getting a yellow card or conceding a corner, without trying to fix the final score."

We have faith in our players and do not think they would commit any form of treason and to risk their career for some fast cash in hand.

A legend has passed

Preston and England legend Sir Tom Finney has passed away. Finney, born on the 5th of April 1922, spent his whole carrier at Preston North End. He wore the lillywhite jersey 433 times and scored 126 goals from 1946 to 1960.
For England he played 76 games including 3 World Championships 1950, -54 and -58) and scored 30 goals.
During the war he served in the Royal Armoured Corps as a tank driver and mechanic. Tom Finney was knighted 1998. This was probably not a big thing for the former plumber, but how deserved the rest of us belive it to be.
Sir Tom Finney will live one in the hearts of Prestonians all over the world. We salute you and will allways remember you - plumber, football player, knight and legende.

"Tom Finney would have been great in any team, in any match and in any age ... even if he had been wearing an overcoat." Bill Shankley

And it`s.. once again.. over

The JPT and the League Cup didn´t take long at all to get out off. The FA Cup on the other hand took several replays to get done with. Last night the boys fought bravely and deserved to meet Sheffield United at Bramall Lane in the 5th round. An absurd amount of chances was created and we should have scored earlie in the second half and kept on scoring untill we had a pleasant lead and eventually a victory. But once again it all ended to early for our boys in white. Forest should thank whatever force that held it`s hand over them at Deepdale. The best team lost and the shadow of a former greatness moved on. That`s the cold hard facts.
To quote our gaffer: "Lucky bastards!"
