Pretty sure they have played together! We obviously missed Dack, anyone would miss his talent and energy, think it’s fair to say Armstrong thrives in his absence though in a way we haven’t seen as much pre Dack injury Ps tin hat time but as much as Venkys put us in this scenario I’m glad they are stupid enough to keep paying the bills, the wider world is scary right now and unless there’s the perfect buyer in waiting the alternatives are worrying

Cairney just reiterated what Bryan said, they’ve talked about Raya’s positioning specifically

The sole reason there was a free kick in the first place is because of a Raya howler, for no reason he was 40 yards from his goal then misplaced a header so his mate had to take one for the team. Then it’s a clever free kick but Raya left his goal open and didn’t anticipate it

I rate him, wanted him at Ewood this season he was awesome for Wednesday, solid no nonsense type

Oh David he’s just had a shocker of a minute two stinking mistakes and Fulham are ahead

Nixon says they lost and are relegated

I also think Tosin will come back, he’s not likely to break through at City and if he’s shipped off to the championship on loan again then we’d be front of the line Davis at Villa when I’ve seen him is great at hold up play and does everything right until it comes to the finish that he often drags wide

Still find the Whiteman stuff odd, Mowbray meets with him without a deal with his club sorted, then tells him he has a pot of money to spend but may come back to him later? Seems very arse about tit!

The only exposure I had to Phillips was the goal he conceded in the play off final when the ball rolled under his foot but it sounds like he’s a quality keeper, made a lot of team of the year type lists for the championship

A club with ambition throws blank cheque at Eddie Howe tonight

Weird that we haven’t seen them yet Same kit supplier and sponsor and the season would have started this weekend, maybe some issue with them being stuck on a freighter or something

I have a feeling they will get away with it, problem is how many loopholes does it expose? Clubs could set up a fall guy to take the hit and blame them for any dodgy dealings if there is no punishment to the investment The EFL must be devastated that Wigan didn’t beat Fulham, would have been so easy for them to dock 12 points with no impact

As far as track records go O’Rourke has broken more factual links than others so imagine there’s something in it

Nah they are chatting about buying cars off the Sultan of Brunei All pally and bigging up his achievements

Raya helped create a goal and made a great save within 20 minutes!

We all know we lack imagination therefore the most likely signing from the list is Ben Heneghan who we were linked to before he went to Sheffield United (and never played)

The weird thing is Mowbray hung him out to dry and dropped him yet Walton was Teflon and ever present whilst being much worse

The Raya deal was bad at the time, even worse a year on, we had no replacement lined up, brought in an inferior player on loan and now the money is gone. Meanwhile Raya won the golden glove and is linked to Arsenal and Man City for £10m But hey if Brentford get promoted our fee rises to £5m! https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/18607923.rovers-monitoring-raya-situation-amid-man-city-arsenal-links/

Blackpool I think for him and Hart

Potentially Villa

Think Smallwood will end up at Blackpool

So Downing may stay on yet Correct decisions IMO, love Danny but now is the time

So as it stands Hull, Wigan and Charlton are relegated, apart from Hull the other two could still potentially get out of it. Charlton - if Sheffield Wednesday get a 12 point deduction then they replace Charlton in the bottom 3, subject to appeal of course Wigan - if they win their appeal then Barnsley go down instead of them, no further appeals allowed after that decision So amazingly it’s still 2 from Charlton, Wigan, Barnsley and Sheffield Wednesday
