  1. According to him that's where all the Chileans have been getting them from.
  2. Going off the last ten years, that won't happen.
  3. I actually love the riverside. I think it has a lot of character. My only request would be that it was closer to the pitch.
  4. That's a fair point. Williams oversaw the running of the club through a period where we we continually finishing in the top half of the Premier League and this was after the money taps had been turned off. When he left I knew we were fucked.
  5. More than any player, manager or coach, John Williams is the biggest loss we've ever had.
  6. The way we played under him was amazing but we did have a lot of injuries and a lot of players with huge egos that didn't blend well with Roy's way of doing things. He was 10 years ahead of everyone else at the time he came here. It was also a time when the price of a player doubled as soon as they found out we were interested. Henchoz was absolute gold though. When I say he was the best I mean that from the perspective of the way we played on the pitch. I think in the first season we didn't drop out of the top six all year.
  7. They should replace it with a massive sign that counts the death toll from the genocidal war in Yemen that their owners are waging.
  8. I still think that Roy was the best manager we've ever had down at Ewood. He was way ahead of his time and the football we played that season was the most exciting I've ever seen from a Rovers team. I think his undoing was trying to completely change the way everything was done all in one go and it upset a lot of the big ego players in the squad. This was still mostly the team that won the league a couple of years before. He also made some shit signings which didn't help. I have always had a huge amount of respect for Roy Hodgson and the way he was treated by the press whilst England manager showed what a load of low life bottom feeding scum the media are.
  9. Let's face it, over the last ten years we have lost 10000 fans. Some of those will never be back. Others are in a war of attraction with the owners and have walked away in protest. Then there are the ones who are only interested in watching us if we're in the Premier League. To get the supporters back in the ground there needs to be some incentive both on and off the pitch. £30+ for a second division match is the exact opposite of that.
  10. Weren’t we getting 18000 a week when we were in the first division (99-00)? The price of the tickets is an absolute disgrace. It should be £20 and no more. We should be getting a near full house for big games like this.
  11. Maybe wait until the end of the season before jumping up and down about getting the manager sacked. Whatever he's been doing recently he's been doing it right. Long may it continue.
  12. As with most of our neighbours, jealousy is a cruel mistress.
  13. To be fair a lot of fans are staying away from Rovers deliberately in protest. A lot of them would still be going regularly, maybe even season ticket holders, under different circumstances. Unlike suuupoh Bonleh I can't remember any Rovers fans claiming to be the best fans in the world.
  14. I think we lack some experience on the pitch to be fair. It's great having the young players but sometimes you need a couple of older heads to keep things steady when we're under the cosh. That's what we had with Souness and it was a recipe for success. That said Mowbray should have sorted it out against Fulham so that we didn't get completely bummed like that at home.
  15. We're powerful in attack. I just think that we lack a bit of experience in the squad to carry us through sometimes. Hopefully we just completely overwhelm them and hand them a spanking.
