those two w*****s erikson and grip might as well have pushed him off his bike themselves,snubbed for keown who did`nt get on the pitch for a minute

had nights out in leeds and sheffield and got to say sheffield is a nicer place imo,they both trump rotherham,which is a cesspit

tommy doyle sounds like someone from the pub who`s sneaked on the plane

one of lives great mysteries is how we did`nt win that game by 2 or 3 goals🤫

i think it`s more getting the players fitter and to play at a higher tempo than we did,getting the ball back quicker is very important,it`s been one of our weaknesses,not sure jdt can do it without some new players though🤔

the lads all looked pretty happy in the portugal pre season trip im`e not sure,they ar`nt splashing it around like fulham and bournemouth did,despite having a saudi owner

i don`t think we`de be in for him unless we could compete with sheff utd wage wise,they ar`nt exactly flush themselves

the fac that he`s played under jdt at malmo could be a crucial factor,though in all honesty and being completely neutral id`e rather play for jon dahl tommason,champions league winner and 120 apps for ac milan than paul heckingbottom,lower league midfielder and sacked from every job he`s had

he`ll be in the physio dept,every time he sees grass the ankle gives out☺️

on the last three points could`nt get the best out of a good group of players the whole 5 years of his tenure listen to his interviews in the media,ffs imagine listening to him on the training ground never got his players to buy in to his various madcap team shapes,a decent coach would at least play to his teams strengths,he went the other way and played to their weaknesses!!!!!! the final words---he`s gone,let him infect someone else team,lets get behind jdt,he at least looks interested and motivated

because tony was infuriating manager who played everyone out of position and came up with various systems that confused everyone,he was a poor man manager as well as a poor communicator and coach,he should have got more out of the players he had,the criminal useage of the excellent harrison read,the fact he overspent on brereton and gallagher when he should have bought centre backs instead and then the blaming of mulgrew and raya when the goals against did`nt stop,the continued picking of evans and bennett,when neither of them contributed anything(though bennett was useful when played in midfield,he at least was a good crosser of the ball,he was`nt put there often enough) all in all i think mowbray was a poor manager who had delusions of grandeur,despite being well backed by the owners he did`nt do much for me,there were dozens of games when the players looked completely confused by his crazy set ups

i hope it`s true but nixon is a bit of a walter mitty,in reality he knows **** all

if jdt has to start with magloire then it`s time to put the tin hats on and bunker down for a long season,the lad just does`nt have the ability to play at this level

elliot bennett at left back and to a lesser extent right back,even though he was one paced,could`nt tackle and generally lacked the skills to play there,absolutely used to do my nut in

unfortunately big kev would`nt last long in todays pussified game😒he`d get a red card every time he appeared

great game,i broke my seat in celebration😅,that roberts goal only just sneeked in,hence the jubilation

if you want entertainment then go to the cinema,circus or wherever😉

very much a modern day phenomenon,the media and younger generation of fans are all over it,allardyce era was the first time i heard it,all about performance over result,which to me is ****** stupid,whats the point of playing football if you lose 3-2 every week,the very essence of it proved what a load of shite it is when big sam was forced out of everton for getting results in an ugly way,look at the state of the club now,you can kick the ***** out of the opposition and launch the ball 70 yards every time you get it but if you get points i could`nt care less,i bet cambridge fans under john beck did`nt complain when they booted theirselves up to the championship play offs

looking at the other end of the height scale,faz and andy todd we`nt particularly tall but both of them could get up well ,david speedie was touching 5"7 and his heading was fantastic,never seen a player hang in air for so long,his timing was brilliant

i expect a flurry of activity of the next 10 days,jdt has had time to asses what he wants and he must know now what he needs personel wise,it will be time to worry if things remain quiet🤔 id`e be looking at the big lad from west brom,semi ajayi,giant centre back,threat from set pieces and a thumping header of a ball,seemed a bit player last season so might be available,i remember he was at rotherham and he dominated the game when we played them up there

probably because we were all standing together in one crowd,seating did and has diluted the atmosphere,it`s the same everwhere,how much noise did the stretford end,north bank and kippax generate on a big match day and if you started chanting "wharton wharton show us your **** as we did to colin hendry,you`de get some very strange looks and most likely atract the attention of a few jobsworth stewards!!" the game and crowd have changed a hell of lot,99% of it badly imo,the only improvement in the last 30 years has been the food and catering,those pies and the strange looking tea/coffee were a health hazard back in the day😊

was browny as bad as ashley ward,truly the worst striker iv`e ever seen,at least browny did make himself a nuisance to defenders

he`s a lazy show pony,though admitedly he`s got a good right foot,bournemouth did`nt take up their option to buy him and did`nt even pick him towards the end of the season,that tells you a lot about him imo

i thought the new pitch being laid was the reason for not playing a pre season game at home,now we have a 1000 muslims trampling all over it,you have to wonder if there is any common sense anywhere behind the scenes at ewood,why can`t they worship in the blackburn end car park,it`s plenty big enough

can`t disclose mate,security reasons,if i told you id`e have to kill you,very exciting names though,i think we`ll be thrilled😐
