Conspiracy theories!

Believe you want ! 

Venkys are at the root of all that's wrong at Blackburn Rovers ..

[1874]

Rovers are +2 points and +4 goal difference versus the same fixtures last season

Thanks, I wasn't planning to make these Championship recaps a regular thing, but I quite enjoy writing them and it keeps me up to date with what's going on at various clubs, so I might keep doing them. 

It was very good reading for me

You poor sod. I play football with a PNE fan - they really do have the thinnest skin. Calls Rovers fans 'plastics' (whatever that means), but if you fire anything back they get very defensive.

Both very good people. We have some banter between us but nothing like that you faced

[Mattyblue]

Very, very bitter set of fans, unsurprising when unlike pretty much every other club in this region they’ve achieved the square route of feck all since Finney.

I'd need to check to see if I'm right, but I believe Queen Victoria was still alive the last time Preston win a league title or cup. Unless they won the Anglo-Italian Cup, Texaco Trophy or that one the lower two league divisions play.

[philipl]

Both Southampton and Leicester very fortunate to get their wins on Saturday.

The Ipswich defence seemed to be taken by surprise by the speed of thought of players who were in the PL last year as much as Leeds clicking at Portman Road.

southampton have banked a shedload of money since they sold ward prowse,livramento,lavia and tella,even without those 4 they`ve still got the best side in the league,with so much money to spend and still the best set of players will russell martin **** up the  penalty kick of getting promotion,guy is such an egomaniac,i hope he fails badly😂

The irony is there ingrained hate of Blackburn Rovers and laughable ‘plastic’ fan tag.

Jealousy more like.

Embarrassing.

When was the last time they were in the top flight? Must have been the early 60s at the latest.

Give yourself a good star 😀…

An actual Ewood Sky game on a Friday for Leicester… the very odd eight *year* gap since the last one is finally over.

(And I miss it anyway as I’m on holiday 😁).

Now moved to the Sunday at noon due to the cup tie… the wait goes on!

[simongarnerisgod]

the russell martin show is currently experiencing  a few technical difficulties😂

[G Somerset Rover]

3-0 down now to Mowbray’s boys. They’ve got a good squad, but looking at their 11 today, it’s really not all that. I think only Leicester out of the relegated sides will run away from everyone else.

[Tugayisgod]

Cullen scores for Swansea today.

Also watching the Sunderland game. Southampton defensively (as with all Martins teams) really poor.

Dack I'm afraid looks finished. Done nothing of note apart from giving away a stonewall penalty which the ref missed. 

Edit

Then he scores !

I wouldn’t be too thrilled. If they blow him out they could be casting envious glances our way.

even shorn of 5 top class players,southampton should walk it to promotion,id`e suggest their biggest handicap is their manager😁

Typical Dack goal. Quickest to react to the recycled ball after goalie saved his header

we are safe till next season i think,might be a very different picture come may,who can blame him tbh

[Cherry Blue]

Southampton look shocking! 5 0 thrashing in TM back garden with only 2 shots on target. 

[Oldgregg86]

Jordon Rhodes scores for Blackpool v Wigan on his debut after 4 minutes.

 

[chaddyrovers]

Southampton were truly awful
