    Preston fans on twitter telling me (before the start of the season) that they were glad he was leaving :emoticon-0140-rofl:

    Seems to be the theme on their forums that we’re the best they’ve played (maybe on a par with Leeds) which is very good when you consider their fixtures to date.

    It was Hume not Rigg, but either way brilliant effort to get up to their goal so quickly on the break like that. Love the way Reg has us playing.

    There were numerous you tube predictions had Cardiff to be in top 6 ( think this was based on the finish to last season and the manager). Pompey had drawn with Leeds, Luton and Borough. My point is maybe we are the catalyst for a change in their fortunes rather than they are poor teams.

    His next move will be to one of the top 6. Either that or to someone like Dortmund.

    I think so. I look at him and for me, he stinks on a man city player. The way he moves with the ball, technically superb but also has that graft and bite. Not only that, he has an excellent tactical understanding and will only absorb and learn more.

    I wouldn't normally make this kind of comment, and it's no detriment to Clarke ...

    ... but could we have done any better, yesterday, if he'd stayed.

    Mundle's last two goals were virtually unstoppable and so was he.

    Fair enough teams may not be doubling up on him, as much as they did with Clarke, but he's so quick they can't catch him.

    Noticed Hume was in the 6 yard box for a tap in if the keeper had parried it.

    Do the two highlighted quotes go together?

    Still can't believe Rigg making that tackle on a yellow for the goal :emoticon-0102-bigsm
    Fine margins!

    Anybody think Dan Neil automatically gets back in after yesterday. Thats not me knocking him by the way just think it gives Reggie a headache who to play and who to leave out.
    Good for us fans having cover like this.

    And they still couldn’t score. They had to rely on Luke to show them how it’s done.

    I said at the game I think Browne will start in the next game.

    He covers more ground more quickly, offers a greater goal threat and barely put a foot wrong ...

    ... players are making life difficult for Regis.
