Time will tell, imo relegation is more than a possibility! The lack of ambition is more obvious now than at anytime I can remember. I have been watching since 1969. Without ambition, the club might as well stop trading!

It's too soon to tell. We've taken a gamble in a league where know how counts for a lot. None of us know how half this team will get on. I'll plump for after 46 games we will finish lower than last year which is all that matters.

4-4-2 👍

Club propaganda is getting more obvious by the week…

And another, classic drawing of a foul in the penalty box 🙃

It's completely irrelevant. The club is not trying to get promoted so it doesn't matter if the squad is good, bad or indifferent. The only goal they have is to plod along in the division. The existence of the club is pointless.

In my opinion , i feel we are stronger for one reason ... we got rid of comfortable championship players and replaced them with players who want to make a name for themselves ...there's no better motivation then redemption and seeking fame..whether they have the skill set..we'll know by november.. i critique the Vs at every turn because i don't believe they have the clubs best interest but one thing they doing right is giving chance for success for unknowns

If Rashford can still get in the England side he might have a chance

Currently the best English winger by goals and assists in Catalonia

I think it makes sense you had a pint before posting

I expect they’re waiting for you to pay for the prize.

Aka, "The Rubber Dinghy Men".

Just got another assist for Espanyol, lovely cross into the box

I have been reflecting on this over a perfect Guinness pour in a Young's pub. I think we had a sell by date on the team. By making the moves we did, we took a risk but I feel good about the replacements. It is the manager's team and model and so we shall see how we progress. I am optimistic. There was a negative drag from some of rhe established players and that has been swept away. Culturally I rhink this is less of a cozy environment but maybe we needed a change on the field and off it. Change is always with us. Players and managers are ambitious. What are your thoughts?

Not my favourite paper, but this is a tremendous write up: https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/sep/14/ricky-hatton-tribute-boxing?CMP=share_btn_url&fbclid=IwdGRleAM1QTlleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHtWEMgtVm0R9wWyQTlN7omXeffW5pWKkR_UUFKcnztdd6GEMlv4UdazF4RVz_aem_OUTXeEFsnKBC_k7_p_Js9w

Slightly rhetorical but a genuine question; Is “The Rao’s, Venkys, whatever you call them’s” ambition the same as “the club” per se? I ask this on the basis that I believe the people incumbent of responsibility at Ewood work to a set budget. I appreciate that is a somewhat confusing aspect, however it does impact how you can assess the “club staff” and the “ownership”… that is if you differentiate between the two…

Who else is going tomorrow ? If I can acclimatise myself to the bloody weather I’ll be there. 30C and shorts and a tee shirt this time last week for me !

At least he’s playing in his best position. None of this playing a right footed player on the left wing bollocks.

6 Sheffield United assists. Only Szmodics didn't turn his gift into a goal.

Most do and know all about what you are saying. Others, are apologists or deluded ot useful idiots.

Dolan starts for Español tonight, for anyone looking for their football fix.

Tronstad wants to go back to Norway. When? I don't know. His wife is from Haugesund and SHE want to settle down there.

Bet that was a fun contract negotiation, you’d have to think he got himself a nice pay increase out of it

I hope they’re really small plates, my appetite isn’t thst great these days.
