v Newcastle Utd (h) - FA Cup R5 - 27/2/24, k/o 19:45

They'll beat us like a pinata

[Bethnal]

Got myself properly psyched up on the walk to the train home.

”first 15 minutes, we could do a bit of damage and get them off their game”

Their lineup against our lineup is a serious mismatch.

Despite the team line up it’s a match to back the bloody team - yes barcodes are overwhelming favourites but miracles do happen - just not under venkys 😅

[roverandout]

The contrast in confidence to our fa cup run last season is stark. We had a feeling we could beat anyone on our day. This time I have zero confidence 

[Old Codger]

It is always darkest before the dawn. Someone switch the floodlights off for fecks sake.

When the Rovers heads go down, we know that even the poorer teams can score a hatful against us, so gawd knows what carnage awaits us on the beeb this evening, if we don't score first. 

If you are from Burnleh and reading this, fuck right off. 

If you are from Newcastle and reading this. Fuck right off. 

If you are from Pune and are a befuddled, spoilt bastards with too much money and not enough nous to know when you're not wanted, especially fuck right off.

Now. Blackburn Rovers. Stand up, be counted, and do your best for the fans. Or fuck right off 😡

COYB!

Hopefully ends the same as that Championship fixture where we won 1-0 with 1 shot vs about 40 from Newcastle. 
Think it was Mulgrew

I think we did the double over them, so we are there bogey team.

Virtually Newcastle's strongest 11. Aside from any other aspect, their central midfield is going to rip ours apart. A painful couple of hours ahead. As said by others, I do fear the potential terminal damage to the flimsy morale if we take a thrashing here. Let's hope I'm being way too pessimistic about this....

[bazza]

I hope they don't take Fulham's record off them

[RTM08]

If this isn't at least 0-5 I'll be surprised. Shocking lineup but not really the manager's fault the club have left him with a bjnch of 12 year olds and a few dossers.

Same problems as the Wrexham match? 

[simongarnerisgod]

turnstiles playing up according to saint  lineker

[jim mk2]

Waggott's forgotten to put 10p in the turnstiles meter

the panic of waggot if faced with a 30000 crowd and the cost of hiring more staff and police😁

[TheKitGuy]

Due to venkys out protests??! (Hopeful!)

[Trinidad Rover]

The same issue as the Wrexham game. Pee up brewery. We really are the worst run club in the country.

Seeing Waggott there grinning with Shearer and a glass of champagne made me ill.

Come on Rovers though - do yourselves proud.
