Swear down we are trying to lose this. Nailed on penalty for them not given too. What a shambles.

Oh fuck off Rovers.

Had a bad feeling that giving the ball away so cheaply, so often would bite us in the ass. One occasion I’m not buzzing to be right.

Absolutely love this hype train that BBD is riding at the moment. It’s almost surreal. Long may it continue!

As headlines go, that was one of the most soul destroying!

Yet when he did, he mostly looked appalling…..Glad he’s turned it around, of course!

I absolutely agree that he’s a better player than Saka, but I think he needs to either get his act together, or be managed better at club level.

Probs because he’s been gash for his club.

Maybe more than one bloke on the internet might be a start? If the entire away end had ratified that Brereton was in tears, because of abuse from the crowd, then it would be believable. But, it clearly wasn’t like that. Don’t you reckon that if it had happened like that, the LT and club would have mentioned it a fair bit?

I mean, so did I, but £7 Million quid for us is a lot, especially if someone isn’t going into the first team immediately and making a real difference.

I think we need to stop using the benefit of hindsight to beat people over the head with a point and stop using revisionism too. For a long time, Brereton was pretty awful for us. He showed some more promise last season, but nowhere near the levels he’s shown since he started playing for Chile. I never wrote him off, but I certainly had concerns that we’d smashed a lot of money on a player that wasn’t delivering at that time. Though obviously, I’m delighted he has, as it’s for the benefit of Blackburn Rovers FC and me of course, as a fan of said club.

For me, I’d want Foden in the middle of the park. He’s the best footballer we have as far as I’m concerned and he will only continue to get better with him being so young.

I’m out all day at a gig in Manchester, so I’ll miss this and the England game which is a shame! Can only see a Fury win like.

I think Palace are part American owned tbh.

Hi Everyone, in a change to our regular scheduled programming, I’ve decided for one thread and one thread only, politics can be discussed on the football thread! I figured that with the Saudi Arabia takeover, things would be incredibly intertwined, so fill your boots in here!

Give him an inch? What have you heard? 👀

I dare you to post that on a Newcastle forum….

What can I say? I had a change of heart and thought I’d bend the rules, due to some feedback. You’re welcome.

Actually, you can. A new thread is being created soon where ownership and the ‘merits’ of the new Newcastle owners can be debated to death, right here on the football thread!

I agree that it’s linked and I wouldn’t expect you to agree with the reason for removal tbh. Fact is though, whenever things get political on here, as it’s so tribal at times, it takes things off topic to a massive degree and causes moderating headaches, so we just say ‘no politics’ to make it easier.

1- If you want to query removed posts, DM a mod, or ask the question in Ask Admin. 2- I actually agreed with the content of your posts, but if you want to talk about the Saudi regime, go bananas in ICBINF, just not the football forum.

It takes a ballsy person to say a player with very few goals and assists is better than one with loads of both, I’ll give the them that!

Nobody has banned you for an opinion on Raya though. I share the same opinion as yourself and JB on Raya too….

I played football against him a few years ago at The Soccer Dome. Lad’s still got it!

That’s the least of our worries tbh. At least they’re trying to have a good time. Which the XI on the pitch had the same enthusiasm!
