Friday Fan(tastic)

Todays FF is a school teacher with love for Addidas trainers and expensive jackets. He also loves going away with the lads for a few beers and a few sights. Going on for the better part of 25 years he has seen and drank quite alot.
If you want to get on his bad side just tell him you cheer for a team that starts with the letter B or write him a letter with bad grammer. You can also slag of The Lancs CCC, it will take you there even faster. But on NBblog it`s all good!


Name: Paul Whelan
Twitter: @MintyPNE

1. If you were the boss of the entire North End empire, what would be different?
A: It would be standing in the stadium, hooped socks, Adidas kit and I would get the PP back on the badge.

2. If timetravel was easier, what game would you go back in time to watch?
A: Arsenal in the cup, Kurt Nogan brace... I would stop David Eyres getting sent off, and we'd go on to win the game and cup!
(NBblog: that`s good use of a half decent time machine)

3. What`s your favorit bar in Preston?
A: Old Black Bull... Decent beers, staff, SKY

4. What Preston player would play you in the story of your life?
A: David Lucas... A local lad, keeper, a bit weighty!

5. What Norwegian(s) would you bring to the club?
A: Ole Gunnar as gaffer.

If there are to many spelling mistakes in the text above I recon Mr. Whelan will let us know at the next parent-teacher conference. Anyway we`ll buy you a beer at the Old Black Bull if it passes trough or not. Make that two beers, as our first follower on Twitter you should not be thirsty around us.

Have a great weekend everyone!

So close...

 

B`pool came pretty close to beating Prestons 6 goal record at Elland Road last night. As the old saying goes: "Pretty close does not kick a 10.000 lb gorilla of the roof of a huge building". The legendary 6-4 victory is not just remembered for the amount of goals scored but also for the comback made. After being behind 1-4 the lads just decided to crush and defeat. 

 

We all wish for that mentality to find it`s way back to the hearts of our players. League One or Championship, Champions League og Premiership - Never give up! Fortes fortuna adiuvat.
