Premier League

For anyone that didn't see it live today, great interview with Tom Lockyer on Sky today. For someone who comes across as a right nob on the pitch (the type of player we are crying out for!), he speaks really well about his collapse on the pitch in Dec:

 

[davulsukur]

Amari Bell goes back to his Rovers form and makes an absolute howler in thr first 30 seconds against Man Utd, gifting them a goal.

[roversfan99]

Typical Bell. Not a very good player.

I'd have him back, Nyambe too.

What you way is correct but it's a reflection of the club rather than the players.

Absolutely. Goes without saying really.

Absolutely unbelievable they can't give a shirt to a mascot. Total disgrace.

I wonder if the "nice" Sam Gallagher is sitting at home watching Morris of Luton giving an object lesson in how to be a not-so-nice but very effective centre forward

No, he's sat at home whinging that Rovers haven't offered him a new contract / triggered his extension despite just 48 goals (and 25 assists) in 221 appearances for Rovers.

I've been looking how that compares to our previous strikers, and surprisingly it's roughly the same strike rate as Mike Newell had for Rovers.

Roy Hodgson has stepped down from his role as Palace manager. 

Assume it's because of his health issues he's had recently but Palace really need to get their next appointment correct.

Close to the drop and playing relegation rival Everton tonight.

[Gav]

I can’t watch Adam Wharton playing for Palace, turned it off.

These ******* owners eh…

VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

[LeftWinger]

Philip Schofield supporting Everton tonight.

He heard their midfield was Young and Gueye.

[den]

I’m watching him Gav. My heart sinks. Talk about mixed emotions. Brilliant to see his talent on show in the PL, but livid that Venkys sold him at the first opportunity - and without a replacement at that. I’ve never accused any rovers chairman of that before.

Does anyone think Venkys will have any emotions about selling such a young local talent so soon? I don’t think they will , not for one second. I’m not sure Waggott or Broughton even gave him or the fans a second thought.

Theres no heart and no soul in this club. It’s an empty shell. I’ve never said that before either.

they`ve ****** him up by selling him to a club in decline as well,he would have had the big clubs on the phone if he`d stopped till next summer,as it stands he`s in a struggling side who don`t give him the  ball

London, innit. Sure I read before that they make about £3 Mil per home game.

Imagine that, for a family with 3 kits they’ll all want on top. Madness.

[jim mk2]

Jarrad Branthwaite getting much praise at the moment and even being mentioned in England terms. It's odd because he was distinctly underwhelming with us and Harwood-Bellis looked the much better player.

It has to be said - we had some excellent loan players with us under Tony.  

[roversfan99]

The loan signings under Broughton in comparison have been woeful. Admittedly especially this season, im sure minimal wage contributions have played a big part so its on the owners.

[Ewood Ace]

That Burnley keeper is terrible and yet they keep picking him. Can only assume it because of the crazy sum of money they paid for him.

I also think there is an element of arrogance and obstinacy from Kompany in persisting with him. Speaking to some Burnley friends they are more critical of his stubbornness in a few aspects than anything else.

[Mattyblue]

To be fair Branthwaite was 18 when he was here, very young for a centre half to be chucked into a Championship first team, but he physically looked the part if nothing else, every chance he was going to develop.

[simongarnerisgod]

chelsea not putting away a liverpool side with numerous teenagers in it is shocking with the amount of money lavished on that side.poch next for the sack,he generally has so many players to choose from that he has`nt got clue about most of them

[roversfan99]

The amount of shit that the commentators on Sky (notably Peter Drury, taking over from the even worse Martin Tyler) come out with is obscene.

Yep. Fair play to the Liverpool kids, but as a Chelsea fan you’d be furious at that extra time performance. Having said that, the Liverpool keeper was outstanding in normal time.

[DE.]

A shame that since 2014 the league cup is just another trophy to be passed around between the usual suspects.
