I wasn't being pejorative about Bury  - it was meant to be purely illustrative of a club who, in all probability, will never reach the PL.

Neither will most clubs. The Premier League isn't the be all and end all of football.

ok I give in - let's swap Bury for Racing Club Warwick. My was that most clubs are  where andwhat they are - I don't think we fall into that category. I happen to like Bury and Greater Manchester in general.

St Edmund was buried in Bury.

No he wasn't. The town was given it's name on the back of the local campaign to have his body committed to the earth but it was unsuccessful.

I played against them in the FA Cup. RCW. The referee's daughter was going out with their forward. He blew for full time about 3 minutes early when we were 1 down. Our managers were apoplectic with rage. I found it annoying and amusing in equal measures.

The neighboring town of Bury Peters FA Cup Dream is smaller but has more charm. And a B&M Bargains.

Derby 3 Fulham 1 old Rowett has got them going. Nugent is such a good striker at this level.

A goal or two more from Huddersfield and we go above Norwich.

I was just thinking that, assume Norwich have more goals for than us.

We won't catch Huddersfield anyway, so was hoping they'd win.

How can that be Delph's first booking of the season. Playing every game, I'd have thought he would have picked up more than that......oh, wait. ;)
