Other than United, PNE were my favourite team in the early 50’s. They always seemed to beat that lot from S6. Tom Finney was a genius and Tommy Docherty scared the **** out of Wendy’s super star inside forwards.
They were a very good side back then, but like many other teams, the scrapping of the maximum wage meant they could no longer compete with the big boys. A shame really.
Heading over to Bramall Lane on Saturday with my daughter and looking forward to visiting a real football ground with similar history to ours. It’s a feckin long time since we were in the Prem (old div 1) and certainly not in my time as a Nobber since 1979.
Cannot call this game and can go either way but i am definitely clinging onto play-off hopes (I know don’t say it) until it’s mathematically impossible and why not you never know. One thing I Defo want to happen is them Rams get a good spanking off Villa and let’s be honest here god only knows how Derby are back in a playoff spot. (Thanks Cardiff) which pretty much buggers both of us up.
