presumably because the new stadium sponsors are unhelpfully not called "New Burnden Park" :wink: :D
Quite, it was just tongue-in-cheek, hence the brackets.

Come on you whites!!!!!!!!
and we are now in a position where that makes a difference!
Massive! £750,000 for three games of televised football + gate receipts. Not to be sniffed at!

Wow, so the BBC is paying around £500,000 (for the two teams) per game, plus whatever else they have to pay for. I'm a fan of the BBC and I'm glad it's on TV but that seems a bit excessive for the licence fee.
The players you fail to sign never lose you any money.

Looks like Ream in midfield to me?

It's not our team that worries me. Is Sturridge starting for them??

Didn't do that bad against Rotherham up there. He's a target I suppose.

Be mildly amusing if we go through with a winner from a central defender playing up front.

Craig Davies didn't make it then? That's a bit of a kick in the round things.

Y'know what, I'm not entirely convinced Matt Mills is a natural striker.

Hang on. If Mills is up top with Eidur behind him, where's Clough playing?
