@secondtierpod He’s just laying it off with no pressure. Proper forward play would be to take a first touch with all the weight of the opponent on him and still retaining the ball. Sadly, that’s a dead art form these days.

EFL refs would still give a foul

@labourpress @UKLabour It looks like he’s been bought by a wealthy billionaire. Surely, Farage sees that? If he does, he’d return the £5m in the bests interests of the country or resign.

This isn’t going away. Nigel Farage appears to have broken the rules by failing to declare this £5m. Now he's dodging scrutiny. Reform are not on your side.

*UK 30-YEAR YIELD CLIMBS TO 5.76%, HIGHEST SINCE 1998 -- On September 27, 2022, the 30-year UK hit 4.99%. This was so intolerable that UK Prime Minister Liz Truss was forced to resign. Today, the UK's 30-year yield is 77 bps higher.

@KieranMaguire Btw, not taking anything away from Hearts. I hope they do it. Nothing better than a successful underdog story.

@KieranMaguire So Hearts’ achievement is similar to a lower mid-table Championship team budget against teams with parachute payments? Interesting, as all I’m hearing at the moment from one club, is challenging can’t be done and keeping in the division is the only KPI to be judged on. #pnefc

Love to know #Hearts wage bill compared to #Celtic and #Rangers. @KieranMaguire

@BRFCTrust do such vital work in our local community. Donations will stay in Blackburn, which I feel is important.

@BBCLancsSport It’s not the manager’s place to talk about budgets in such fashion in public. I’ve not heard other managers at similar sized clubs, with similar budgets to North End talk about finances so publicly this season. For me, it sounds like an excuse. Other clubs are currently punching.

⚪️ "[We probably need] solid mid-table finances. We do a lot of things really, really well in terms of finances and the atmosphere we create. If we out-perform the same way we've done this season with solid mid-table finances... over a couple of seasons, you can build." #Preston North End manager Paul Heckingbottom #pnefc | #bbcfootball

@PNEFCPost Players shouldn’t be talking publicly about budgets. It’s not their place to do so. Concentrate on the football.

📽️ "I think people are really critical these days... if the manager gets the budget he wants, I'm sure we'll be right up there but again, you've got to be patient and stick by him.” #pnefc

@WLBennett @AvantiWestCoast @UKLabour Seriously, you’re trying to blame Labour for this? It’s your lot that messed up the Virgin contract. It’s your lot that crashed the economy causing devastating levels of inflation. It’s your lot that privatised the railways.

@garyrobbo81 @AvantiWestCoast It’ll be so much better under @UKLabour you said 🙄

. @AvantiWestCoast … it surely can’t be £380 return standard from Preston to London Euston on Wed 6th May?

At the request of Tony’s daughter Natalie, supporters who would like to make a donation, in lieu of flowers, can do so to her chosen charity, @BRFCTrust, to support their award-winning work in the local area. Tony was a much-loved member of the Community Trust’s ‘Remember the Rovers’ family and will be incredibly missed by everyone in the group. To donate to Blackburn Rovers Community Trust, in memory of Tony, please click here: memorygiving.com/tonyparkes Supporters can also make a donation to the Community Trust when purchasing tickets online for Saturday’s game. Discussions with Tony’s daughter will continue over the coming weeks regarding a fitting and permanent tribute to Tony, to recognise his outstanding contribution to the club and where his life and legacy will always be remembered.

@andyh61105275 30 years ago. Wow. I was there. I borrowed Brian Ellis’ pen to get David Moyes’ autograph and I forgot to give him his pen back. Good job he had a spare as we would have had no write up of winning promotion in the LEP!

30years and 1 day ago Preston secured that 3rd division title it was the start of the baxi era unbelievable years

@PolitlcsUK Well, well, well…

🚨 BREAKING: British oil and gas giant BP has more than doubled profits due to the Iran war - from $1.38bn to $3.2bn

@WLBennett I didn’t hear you chirp up once when we had 14 years of total uselessness from Tory government after Tory government after Tory government.

If you ever wondered how the government could be so useless at running the country you just need to listen to McSweeney giving evidence. He was front, centre and at the heart of the shambles that has been the last 18 months.

@Budgierustler34 I’m thinking there needs to be change, but I’m not necessarily thinking the ownership. Make of that what you want 🙂

A trip to Barrow in the league cup followed by a trip to Shepherds Bush seems a lifetime ago. The final journey on the road to Sheffield tomorrow. I hope its the last of the Hemmings era. Im watching a club dying before my eyes. Sell the club, Craig. Please!

Blackburn Rovers are devastated to learn of the passing of Tony Parkes. A true club legend, often referred to as ‘Mr Blackburn Rovers’, Tony passed away last night at the age of 76. Everyone at the club sends their deepest heartfelt condolences to Tony’s daughter Natalie and all his family and friends at this incredibly sad time. A special tribute will be held to celebrate Tony’s life and his outstanding contribution to the club’s history at our final home game of the season against Leicester City on Saturday May 2nd.

Let me guess… PH will want to put a bomb under this team… just like the one before them, and the next team. And the team after that and so on and so forth. #pnefc
