Elvis Costello & The Attractions - Pump It Up

Each to their own. I can't convince you otherwise - and evidently if you're deluded enough to think you could win a race against professional athletes in your mid-40s I'd be wasting my time to even try.

Poor sod. He's going to be in for a shock when he sees what we run out there these days.

I'm all for physical football. I'm not for blatant fouls. Not sure why you can't get your head around that.

The biggest game of PNE's season. So much excitement round their end ahead of this one. They're rushing to get their tickets bought. Fans flying in from America and Sweden, the spud vans are stocking up, the whole shebang. It's quite flattering. We're just a 'crap, insignificant, plastic club' though, apparently. Can somebody remind them about that? I like how many of them are getting overconfident with their predictions for this one. We know how that ends, usually. It will make it all the sweeter when we do a job on them and leave with the points. Nobbers need reminding as they always get away with themselves when it comes to Rovers. No matter how crap this shit regime has made things for the club over the last 15 years. This is still Blackburn Rovers. The name still carries weight. We are capable of beating anybody in this Division and we are coming for you.

63. Stephen Warnock

62. Markus Babbel

That’s then that particular thread was created. Of course we’re at 50+ years since the initial match in question.

Bang on. He doesn't fail. I think part of this is he doesn't feel pressure on a football pitch, not like normal people. He's permanently calm. His interviews have highlighted this in the way he talks about the game. He's a very special boy.

2006 ?

I’m just tarred with local derbys away from home. I don’t think I’ve seen us win one since Lambert first game.

Brilliant goal for Dacky tonight v. Crawley on telly.

The strangest thing was why they were being sold from a website but not the shop

Not a Rovers players any more but Zak Gilsenan came on as a sub for Grimsby late into the second half.

I'm tarred with the TM era i'd be surprised if those years yielded many points but i might be wrong of course.

The cynic in my thinks we might only see Cantwell a couple more times in a Rovers shirt, as he is struck down by a few more "mystery" injuries before the January window.

Carter will probably pick an injury up in the next week. Ismael wasnt sure if Cantwell will be fit enough.

Carter and Cantwell will surely start this game? I would pick Hedges as left wing back in place of De Neve

I remember standing in the enclosure or paddock below the Nuttall Street stand and, as we sang this, three Notts County supporting girls shouted, "So do we".

This isnt actually true in recent times. Our record for the first game after international breaks reads like this in recent seasons - 21-22 - 4 draws 22-23 - Won 1, lost 2 (less breaks for winter world cup) 23-24 - Won 3, lost 1 24-25 - Won 3 lost 1

They are already manufactured given someone bought one already, it’s a very bizarre situation now as they will need to shift them but missed the ‘event’

Yes, what a match. A huge crowd, thousands from Devon painting the town green and what a chance to muck things up - nearly. My Grandpa who took me to Ewood from around 1970 would always leave with ten minutes to go and we would watch the game's final few minutes through the slats at the back of the Riverside. I'm sure we saw the last two goals go in from there. It would be great to have that feeling again, but maybe not in the 3rd Division.

We will have something to play for. Staying in the league.

We aren't going to have much to play for this season so a must win attitude needed here and 3 very valuable points along with some rare bragging rights. Notoriously sluggish coming out of International breaks whoever runs the team so this probably couldn't have come at a worse time. Due a win though over there, been close to it twice so 3rd time lucky ?
