those toilets were er,how shall we put it,not very pleasant,most of the blackburn end used to relieve themselves at the back of the terrace,was a bloody nightmare on big match days ?

that second XI has got me reaching for the gin bottle ?

we`ll be ok,there are 6 or 7 teams that are in a worse situation than us,as long as we keep lenihan,travis,armstrong or dack i think you can expect a mid table/bottom half finish,the big danger is the above four getting lured away by bigger clubs or them getting fed up with mediocrity and banging in a transfer request

you could probably get some money for gallagher,certainly not getting your 5 million back though?,you`de have to give brereton away im`e afraid,though it would be worth looking into suing forest on the issue they sold a footballer who was`nt one,trades description act innit?

it does`nt take much working out does it????!!!!!!!!he`s living on easy street,surrounded by his friends,why upset the regime trying to get in the playoffs where you may have to make unpopular decisions team and squad wise,it`s not as if venkys are going to be on the phone after every match demanding to know about progress

lets be honest,after the virus it was unlikely there would be any money available and thats quite understandable,what is quite infuriating is the fact that there are dozens of potential free transfer bargains and lower league players flying around and it looks like we ar`nt going to bag any of them,i tell you know,mowbray is topping his pension up and thus is content with finishing on the bottom half,it`s unlikely we`ll go down unless there is a massive sale of our best players around the corner,tony and his mates are running a nice,cosy cabal and are answerable to no one,if and when we are allowed back into the ground i think the crowd(whats left of us) will turn viciously this season

holy ****,it looks like we are going into the new season without a senior goalkeeper on our books,unless fisher/hilton are the reincarnation of lev yashin,im`e seriously worried

i could`nt fault keith for effort,what turned everone against him was the fact he thought he was a hybrid of zidane and johann cruyff,instead of just doing the simple stuff he really did have delusions over his ability,all those ambitious passes that ended up in the riverside or to the opposition and those attempted dribbles that lost us posession,every time he got the ball i used to exercise my vocal chords?

tony looking pensive,probably thinking "who can i bring in that won`t improve the squad and get us into those nasty play offs"

i was at that game,fantastic day,giving shilton some serious stick in the 2nd half and as i can recall we were kept in for ages after the game,whilst the area was cleared of the plymouth menace,that loss sent them down and they were far from happy,did`nt get home until midnight,even with my maniac driving mate giving his sierra sapphire some serious pedal wear,one regret about the kenny era is he did`nt give speedie the chance to play in the premier league,he would have been electric with shearer,sure he could have offered soton a bit more cash instead of giving speedie as part of the deal

he s****d gemma atkinson and took a liking to colombian marching powder?

1st leg play off against derby,the blackburn end was going mental all second half?

odds on tinkering tony would change the side and tactics even if we win our first five games 5-0?,i think thats part of our problem,no one knows where they are playing and what their jobs are,be nice if we did get off to a winning start though?,big ben smashes a hat trick in rovers flying start to the season

i can categorically tell you now that williams is useless as a centre back and even worse as a left back,iv`e watched him enough through his tenure here to realise he`s about as much use as an artex canoe,he`s a nice lad though and good in the dressing room,which is a mowbray prerequisite

i say give the lad a chance,he can obviously cope with the physical side,having spent time in the lower divisions and excelled by all reports,he should certainly get some game time here,if he`s not up to it then offload him,tosin is`nt coming back and williams is weedy at centre back,give the lad a chance and see how it goes

100% effort was mandatory in a souness side and flitcroft was a perfect advocate for this,he did a lot of graft for others,the rabble of this squad would have lasted about a day with souness and flitcroft behind the scenes,can you imagine souness dealing with brereton??

he`s a proper left back,superior to bell,who is in a league above his ability and williams,who is not very good wherever you put him,however im`e not sure about signing him for this season,30 years old and now with added dodgy knee,i`de be examing other options tbh

happy birthday super atko transformed from a much derided full back to a supercharged midfielder under kenny`s tutalage,a key component in our premier league winning side,only cost £40,000 as well☺️

messi not ready for the championship,not matured physically and ,he needs to learn how to play the midfield role from corry evans,he does a good job at left back though,will also struggle trying to fit in with such a tight knit squad,tony does`nt want a potential bad apple steering the side to the play offs?

favourite tugay moment was against arsenal circa 2003, one nil up around the hour mark,deep inside arsenals half,tugay feigned to pass it out wide then arrowed a low shot,right in the corner,past the moaning git goalie lehman,it messed up arsenals title challenge as well,tugay was immense that day and gillespie tormented the arsenal full back van bronkhorst back so badly he was taken off at half time,tugay is deffo in the top five of my rovers legends,nearly as good as the immortal garner himself☺️

not sure how you know he`s not capable,unless your a regular at northampton

if mowbray rated him that much why has he spent the last 3 seasons elsewhere,the way we do business these days,it`s likely northampton will buy him for peanuts,get the very best out of him and sell him for big money,the alternative of course is mowbray tells the press that scott is going nowhere,then starts him at full back where he`s shown up badly,tony then says he`s not ready for the division and he`s never picked again,i can`t think of any young player that has progressed under mowbray,bar travis and he only got started because tony was short on numbers for a few weeks,if injuries and suspensions had`nt kicked in travis would still be banished to the u23`s after his red card debacle at portsmouth

he did`nt achieve the correct level of niceness required for a mowbray signing? that and being told he had to fight for a first team place,despite already being an experienced first teamer put paid to that signing

it helps dyche that turf moor is a tight little ground that makes it easy for that style,they ar`nt half the side away from home,it`s a s***hole where nobody likes going,like upton park,the old den and burnden park,they must have been worth 30 points a season to the home side

the only place for rothwell is just behind the centre forward getting into space and terrorising defenders with his pace,unfortunately tony does`nt play that way and if he did armstrong or dack would be ahead of him,therefore he`s had it,id`e be thinking of selling him,you basically can`t put him anywhere else,he`s not smart enough to play in midfield and despite his speed he`s useless out wide,all the full back has to do is show him inside and he obliges and turns backwards or into trouble
