She’s a happy clapper who doesn’t go to Ewood. It’s like someone extolling the virtues of veganism with a pork chop in their gizzard. 

Oh I so wish I was in your gang.  You popular poster you..... 😍

Great, so to go back to my question: Can you please give me something to be positive about Rovers for?

August 20th - Venkys will win their court case and then sign more players in 1 day than Morecambe managed for a combined total of over £30M

And then I woke up

Oh plenty.   My love rarely wavers, since the days I sold programs in the late 80s.  I don't get hung up on outside influences.   Pointless.

That’s a lot of online submissions to the EFL registration portal. Can the in-house ZX Spectrum cope?

By 'outside influences' do you mean the direct reason the club hasn't signed a single player, and has offloaded other key personnel on the cheap.

That sounds like something to take note of to me.

So you’re not really arsed about anything beyond watching the games on Sky, but you get upset by people who are? There’s a lot to be said for developing emotional intelligence.

Well, that's up to you mate.   Probably not much else to worry about on Mars.

Getting to evening games in time for KO is probably a concern.

Ok then, don't go to the trouble of listing them all, just give us 2 or 3.

Nixon linking us to Dykes? FFS, he's just another Gallagher.

You'd have to assume Begovic's best days are behind him but still, he'd surely be an upgrade on Pears.

Dykes would be an upgrade on Pears.

Well, to get back on topic,  Dykes isn't one of them.   Not for me anyway.   Lack of funds or not.

Dykes can play when Gally gets injured again.

3 signings will be Fleck McFadzean and some kid on loan nobody has heard of 

[tomphil]

He linked us with Dykes last summer.....and probably will next summer.

Fleck and McFadzean dragging on seems were looking elsewhere..

 They would not be new signings. They would be signing a contract extension.

[neophox]

You would had wanted new signings before Austria camp to bed in well.

The third one will be the GK on trial from Everton.

Th 23 other teams in the league isn’t something Rovers have had any influence on, so I can’t see how that can be linked to a positive relating to Rovers? Perhaps as a fan it’s something you’re excited about, but the only thing you can come up with when I ask “give me something to be positive about” is we’re playing lots of local teams this year - in fixtures we’re likely the underdog in?

The start of the season isn’t something under Rovers control. It has absolutely no link to Rovers, therefore you cannot possibly describe it as something to be positive about Rovers for.

The kits are great - but the person responsible for designing and implementing them has now left the club. Whilst we don’t know the reason, I would speculate as he’s gone of his own decision he has gone somewhere he thinks is better. 

Onto your final positive, Eustace “seems” to have a plan. Yet all the noises from media would suggest he won’t have the funds to implement this plan. If it was as simple as “sign 5/6 players” then everyone in the league would be aiming for promotion. We need to sign multiple experienced, high quality players. The signs so far suggest this is not going to happen. 

The fact we're underdogs in any of those games shows what venkys have done to this club.

This is probably the only place where you'll find people who believe that Blackburn Rovers not only can but should be more than just some shit team plodding along in the second division.

I for one will never accept anything less than mid table Premier League from venkys. That's what we were when they took over and they've never made a single attempt to get us back there. It isn't fucking good enough.

If that makes me negative then so be it.

No worries mate.   I'm in the fortunate position where, I'm not one of those who tries to understand what's happening in India and in the corridors.  I'm just there for the football.  

That is a perfectly valid approach and, in a way,  I really wish I could enjoy watching Rovers like you do - without any care for off-field activities.

However, what happens in India is so important it could mean there will be no football to watch soon.  It is impossible to ignore.
