It has been estimated that approximately 13.8 billion years have passed since the beginning of the universe as we know it. Scientists have calculated that around 39% of that time has been wasted by Preston players feigning injury, complaining to the ref or kicking the ball away when their team is a goal up. These figures are startling: it seemed so much longer at the time.
What, if anything, can we expect playing north of Watford gap, midweek, at Preston? Under normal circumstances, a piss-boiling display of rampant gob-bummery administered ad nauseum by the game's foremost exponents of the Dark Arts. Coached by Baphomet himself, Preston have clearly offered their first born daughters to the Evil One in order to gain mystical control over time itself and weakened the minds of Championship referees. Is there any hope?
Yep. We got Charlie Austin. So there.

As I understand it, our team is having to change in a port-a-cabin at the far end of Sir Tom Finney Way, following little green arrows we then have to walk 15 minutes to the stadium in through the home end turnstiles up to the back of the stand were more little green arrows requesting us back down and out through to the main entrance , we then have to go upstairs into their trophy room full of prewar silver ware but are instructed to take of our boots, are given a talk on plumbing in the North West of England c 1935 before having to mop te floor from sweaty socks, put boots back on before being shown down some rickety spiral staircase, through the groundsman 's shed and onto the pitch to find Daniel Johnson and the rest of the Knob Ends lying down on the grass smoking ganja listening to Lee Scratch Perry Panic in Babylon at the sight of Geoff Cameron and Stefan Johansson glaring at them
Zeno's Arrow Paradox may be applied to how Preston keep getting away with time wasting. If an arrow in flight is observed at any point, it is occupying a single moment: in that single moment, it is not in motion. It follows, therefore, that Preston's time-wasting is in fact the product of our observation of them in a single moment.

Ched Evans and Scott Sinclair up front, what could possibly go wrong? We know the script, oop North midweek, the obligatory Barkhuizen goal after 25 minutes, following their first attack and shot and then 70+ minutes of sh1thousery. Plus its on Sky.
We do have more about us this season, would take a draw and not rule out a nice little 3-1 win.
Can we not gather up all that timewasting we have managed over the last three games, double it and then use it after we have gone one nil up just after HT on Wednesday?
If going on recent form, we should be fairly confident of getting a win, but bad runs/good runs often come to a halt with inexplicable reasons.
As long as the 'dark arts' from PNE are kept to a minimum I can't really see anything but at least a point but the three are very much on the cards.
Bookies seem to agree we with me, we are slight favs at 6/4 them 7/4, so if the disciples of 'devil worship' are favouring the saintly hoops I will go with the flow and predict a 2-0 win.

Dorse, that is a great into - elements of Discodroids and Bruceree's work in there as well.
Must confess if we get any points from this picture I'd start to wonder if Warball's has made some kind of compact with the devil after Christmas to get such a run of form going.

Isn't that just a rehash of Heisenberg's uncertainty principle?
