great stuff Keem and good to see you back on The championship thread. I was here to ask about Preston's chances and the stat of only 2 teams not leaving with something has put me off them. Maybe i could chance them yet. Anyone mind the shitty bbc team news? I'll post them up. Just seem to be worth a brouse to me. I know theyre shite though.

Striker Leroy Lita and winger Glen Little are also likely to be out.

all big players so I may be thinking twice about this . MP could be right and maybe worth a swerve if this is all true

[Swooperman]

Fancy Burnley myself, will convince myself yes or no in the morning I think

[keemanan]

They are formidable at home swoops and wednesday are severly lacking in confidence , as near as you can get to a banker and a real shock should it not come off

[Swooperman]
