That's the big question but all the time we're in the Premier League a lot of the kids are supporting us rather than Chelsea or Arsenal. Also I put up with the sh!t if it means giving it to the plastics once in a while. The wins against Chelsea, City, Arsenal and United are priceless. One thing for sure is there's no next level without stupid money.

Why is everyone saying we are boring to watch, frustrating we are yes, but boring just because we miss too many opportunities is daft, last season we dominated so many teams and just somehow failed to bang the ball in, Hodgson would look exciting as hell with a simple fit Glen Murray, it's as silly as that. Results over performances and fans go nuts.

now we are an established PL club i would rather we just stayed up & competed around mid-table than did the same in the championship and went into administration within 5 years. i hold no ill feelings towards pardew as he did a good job for us, his undoing was the plan to play a better brand of football when what he was doing worked just fine. i hold no ill feelings towards hodgson as he is doing an amazing job for us, i cant slate his subs or his dislike of change as he is (once again) doing an amazing job and takes us forward season on season...i hope he stays another 5 years. i used to say i would rather be in the championship as its more competitive but f*** it, i would rather have a club to support that didnt have to sell its ground back to its rich owner to avoid a points deduction. preston currently have the lowest wage budget in the chanpionship at an average of £8000 a week, thats f***ed up & un-sustainable without PL money.

The Premier League could be exciting again if we sorted out our squad. We've got ourselves into a real mess with an ageing squad on big wages, and no exciting young prospects coming through. We need to play Roy's style at the moment, and if we get through and begin to recruit properly (yeah, I'm not optimistic either), we could potentially have an exciting project to watch develop. As things stand though, it's pretty dire.

As things stand though, it's pretty dire. today we had woods daly & perrick (sp) on the bench, personally i would be happier if we signed nobody in january and brought thru those 3 players, and mitchell to see if they were good enough, we wont get relegated either way but we could save ourselves a fortune in transfer fees, and the idea long term is to invest in the academy to produce 1st team players, well we already have an academy and we dont use it.

Results over performances and fans go nuts. I agree with you completely. I don’t think we are boring in the slightest. We have a way of playing and it is certainly not 11 men behind the ball and hoof it forward. People seem to have their blinkers on because it is is Roy in charge but we play nice stuff I am a big fan of a decent defence and enjoy watching defenders do their job well which we do.
