Preston North End (H) League 1 Saturday 15/10/11.

[Ancient Moaner]

We'll lose this one 3-0.

With you on this one, one of our carrier drivers is a Preston fan and they are full of confidence at present apparently, which dosen't bode well against our mob of dissorganised and depressingly lacklustre rable!
Still not to worry...M K Dons, Trampmere & Huddersfield to look forward too... :( :( :( :(

[Sadders]

Walsall 1-5 Preston Hume x3, Mellor x2. Nicholls for us.

Attendance 5,301 (1887 norff enders)

Preston won't have that many there. Apparently we have given them 1,500 tickets with no pay on the day. God knows why :roll: .

Bit stupid really considering they took 1,000 to Leyton orient a couple of weeks ago and had no game last weekend. The club is pretty dim at times.

[belgiansaddler]

1-0 to us to continue our unbeaten run and end their's :D

4900 with 1900 norfenders

[Darth Vader]

PNE fans can pay on the day, dunno what you're on about.

You been on the pop again Belgian? :?

Just checked the odds on a Walsall win, 12/5 at the moment. Ditto the draw, with Preston at 11/10 for the win.

Hmm probably wasting my money but maybe worth a little wager on a double chance ie Walsall win or draw would give you odds of 4/6, not a bad return.

PNE fans can pay on the day, dunno what you're on about.

Originally, PNE were notified that there would not be any pay on the day. As they have not sold out their 1,500 allocation, the remaining tickets have been recalled and they can now do so.

And there's me thinking that the Lottery was a waste of money! :)

Yes mate, just saw the date of your first post and realised they've only just made it POTD.

Apologies.

...... CALLING ALL SADDLERS FANS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on fella's ........ the anticipation of another game awaits us. The smell of a fresh Autumn afternoon as the mighty reds take the field to do battle with up north.

If we take the terraces with a defeatest attitude before a flamin balls kicked what chance do we have ........... we are as good as handing them a goal advantage by allowing them to come and p*ss all over our back-yard whilst we sit their squeaking like mice expecting the worst. :evil:

I for one aint havin it.........

We have our part to play, win or lose! Come 4.45, if we then want to all share with each-other our punditry wisdom of the game then we can all compare notes after, me included :roll:

........... lets apply a little bit of sports psychology for once, some positivity on the terraces will transmit to the players and if we support them this way, they will start to believe it and all of a sudden distinctly average players become decent players :D

Lets help to start turning our season around - we all know winning our home games is a must, starting from tomorrow!

Lets stand united, shoulder to shoulder and send the North End right back up their own-end!

A Walsall win tomorrow with a single goal separating the two sides :D

[geoffwhiting]

Not enjoying these score predictions that don't say 7-0. I miss the old Bazza

And Bazza misses the "7" key on his keyboard. I wonder how it came to get lost, or broken?? :shock:

Comedy gold from the PNE board, where their fans took exception to bangsection's most excellent match preview! Severe sense of humour failure from some of their fans.

They are no different from some of our fans; the wit will be lost on many of them and assume that the use of the phrase 'tin pot club' is meant as some sort of insult. I would be delighted to win such a pot with our current team.

[Fray Bentos is God!]

Bangsection gives them gold, they give us tinpot. They may win the game, but they're stupid.

[latviancheese]

Wow some of them are so thick they are offended by it.

[Neuromantic]

About the best we could get with Macken still out I guess. Be interesting to see how Grigg and Nicholls play together at Bescot - weren't that hot at Rochdale during last week.

[Neuromantic]

1-0 Nicholls! :D

[Welsh_Saddler]

(Having just read the PNE post/troll on the other board)..... snigger snigger snigger :lol:

[Ancient Moaner]

Get in! didn't I always say what a tremendous player he was! :wink: :wink:

[Jolly Johnny]

1-0 Nicholls! :D

Good stuff! Must the hoards of fans cheering him on at the Bonks's's's's that have helped pep him up!! :wink:

Ah! now I understand....Brackley, poor bloke has just woken from a coma, induced by over embibing after the euphoria of the celebrations following our promotion win at Swindon! I'll bring you up to date my friend...we sold that team for twopence and a bucket of gravel, we now have a team of missfits wearing the shirts porporting to be Walsall players, and they aint very good! Hence the graveyard atmos at the Bezza, the slide down the table and "the Mangement making preporations for life in the Fourth Division"

On a serious note I'm with you all the way...come on me babbies we can do it (as long as Mellor goes of injured of course)
we could get a win out of this one!

[Welsh_Saddler]

The result of our scoring in the 10th minute is that it puts me through the trauma of biting my nails for the remaining 80 minutes (I hope.....) :wink:

On a more serious note, I see that Sadler and Chambers were both booked in the last five minutes of the first half. They'll have to be a bit careful.

No need to worry about Mellor - he's been subbed at the start of the 2nd half :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Biggles]

Martin sent off :(

[Welsh_Saddler]

70 minutes - Martin sent off, for "foul and abusive language" :roll: :roll: :roll: (he had been booked in the first half)
BBC website correction: Martin sent off for "second bookable offence"
Taundry on, Grigg sacrificed........

[Welsh_Saddler]

4,834 (attendance)


7 minutes to go.... 1-0....... get the ball to their corner flag and play for time :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

....update.... 92nd minute, Hurst substituted, Gnakpa brought on - almost Hutchings-esque!!!

[Ancient Moaner]

We've WON a match hoorah! It is possible after all!!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
