  1. Thanks- I had an erroneous last date for the Championship of 11th May.
  2. I think our last game will be at home because the Premier League finishes a week after the Championship.
  3. Given the line up beer bottles they necked with their full English, I would imagine they would have to look at their shirts to recall which club they support.
  4. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/23565150.blackburn-rovers-players-get-work-extended-pre-season/ Rovers return on 20 June giving the players an extended 6.5 weeks pre-season.
  5. Given the line up beer bottles they necked with their full English, I would imagine they would have to look at their shirts to recall which club they support. Leeds reported to be in negotiations with Scott Parker.
  6. Warnock extended Huddersfield contract by a year. Group of Rotherham fans just come into the bar I am sitting in. Any questions to ask them?
  7. I am arguing for more first team football in the Championship and Cups and under 21 captain. As things stand he is probably 3rd choice CB ahead of Scott Wharton. But some folks think this is silly...
  8. I would rather have Ash at Ewood watched over by our sports science and medical teams and getting a dozen first team appearances while captaining the under 21s than getting 35 starts at Clogham United in League 1.
  9. Haven't got a clue who will get the Leeds job. Do we know what shape ball they will be playing with or if any chippies are for sale near Elland Road?
  10. With Gav on this. The potential for us to have fallen apart with some wrong appointments was all too real. Some great foundations put in place and being in the hunt for Cup semi-finals and play-off places was a bonus we could not have expected of right. Having said that, 23/24 is about shooting for automatic promotion irrespective of who is in the Championship. In many ways, how we see the season just gone is going to be reflected in whether it has set us up for an extra special season to come.
  11. Got to say this for the Premier League. Only 3 of the Super League 6 in the Champions League Only 4 out of 8 of the erstwhile self appointed big 6 qualified for Europe. The ESL luvvies in other countries have no equivalent challenges. Serie A has enjoyed a revival getting finalists in all European competitions and perhaps not unconnected with Napoli breaking the monopoly.
  12. Huge paydays for faded stars are one thing (Kante who was fabulous now cannot get into a bottom half Chelsea outfit), the time to worry is when a Declan Rice or Jude Bellingham go to Saudi in their prime. It is being argued that Areteta was after Kante and Gundogan but I think that is paper talk.
  13. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/b/blackburn_rovers/1487681.stm And we won 3-1 against Barca in Reus with a Shearer hattrick
  14. Dack wasn't getting into a JDT team and hence the goodbye. I am a huge fan of Dack but he was not going to get round the pitch like a Szmodics who is a lesser footballer whom he needed to force out of the side. I am no sports scientist or fitness freak but I could see with my own eyes. The lack of clubs being linked with Bradley now is also telling.
  15. The Foxes officially let go out of contract stars Youri Tielemans, Daniel Amartey, Ayoze Perez, Caglar Soyuncu, Papy Mendy, Ryan Bertrand and loanee Tete.
  16. I think I read Spuds are getting the Celtic DoF as well. They will be feeling a relief they are already out of Europe and don't need to go through the formalities of getting knocked out.
  17. Watched a bit of the Premier play off final. Beyond crazy. Thistle 3 up with 20 minutes left and blew it. Ref and Var had a random penalty and red card day. 5 penalties not scored in the shoot out. Ross County survived but was struck by the thought Notts County are fitter and better players.
  18. The in-tray for the new Leeds boss: - sick note Bamford - sell the best players if you can - nobody you want rid of and has the market value of half eaten bag of chips has an immediately expiring contract so you are well and truly lumbered with dross taking the wages and running down their time with you - try to manage a dressing room of cut price wages new players you manage to sign playing alongside 6m a year Jack Harrison - two shell shocked confidence destroyed keepers on ridiculous wages - the ground is in hock to try to buy Sampdoria - the ownership is extremely uncertain and you had better found out which agent is in the ear of the 49ers. - fans are loud mouthed with a sense of entitlement - Bielsa was deemed to have failed
  19. That is an open question with regards to Ewood but a certainty at the steaming pile of Yarkshire manure in Leeds.
  20. Don't know if JDT is the type to commit professional suicide.
