But Wharton isn't being picked, because there's so many good players ahead of him. To get past them he's going to have to move on to a bigger stage

Guehi is a regular playing for the same team and Anderson isnt at a bigger club so im not sure it is that.

For me Wharton, Rice and Anderson would be a great midfield three.. Rapid wingers, Kane up top with Palmer/Bellingham behind.. I'd play 3-5-2 to accommodate.

“Put Sidnei in the dog shit bag…” ”OK boss…”

Fortunately for this regime we got low gates back in the 80s so they and their defenders can hide behind that one for a good while - simply pretend that everything that happened 1991-2012 was an aberration and abnormal and all we have now is 'normality'. Of course this overlooks a couple of big issues - like how come every other club in the League - who all also got significantly lower crowds in the 80s - are no longer at those levels and have increased their support significantly Surely if 'back to non-Premier League normal' was the way of it then the likes of Bolton, Preston, and many many others in the Championship and below would be back to 10,000 or less? Strange how they don't appear to be plagued by comparisons to a bygone era 40+ years ago. And also why people want to focus all their efforts on the late 70s and 80s when we had low gates....those people never want to focus on the century prior to that, when Rovers got far bigger crowds, nor the 30 years after that when Rovers got far bigger crowds, but instead obsess about what we got during a relatively short window in our history at a time when nationally crowds were suffering due to all manner of issues not restricted to Rovers - hooliganism, economic problems, dangerous grounds.

We're back! What we saying in this one?

It wasn’t just that they won those World Cups it was how they did it. The 1970 team was the best team I ever saw.

A great game run by idiots.

What a bizarre system: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/articles/c874040rjlno

Wonder what he's hinting at there ? Sounds like maybe he does too much driving.

At a time when almost every single club in England has seen a rise in attendances (the last ten years or so), our attendances have remained pretty much identical. That means in real terms that our attendances have fallen compared with everyone else, I wonder why that is. That's also without doing the eye-test at Ewood where you can see for some games that the attendance is many thousands below the officially reported one. It's not because we're tinpot, or have no fans, like some would like to wind us up with. The derby match last season was capped at 27k or whatever and realistically that game could have seen 28 or 29k tickets sold if they hadn't gone OTT with the security. The game against Oxford at the end of League One got a similar gate as well. I believe that attendances Will jump significantly if we can get these owners to sell up. I'm not saying we'd be getting 25k every week, I'm not daft. But the feel good factor at the club would certainly bring a few thousand back and if we could build on that momentum, then who knows? 25k attendances pre-Venkys, now looks like easily under 10k for some of these midweek games. Venkys out

Interesting quotes from Ismael on Carter and his injury worries. Despite his inability to ever stay fit, I always had Hayden down as big professional but reading between the lines VI’s words cast doubt on that (from his perspective at least). https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25548193.hayden-carter-sent-blackburn-rovers-injury-message/

I'd take that right now here, as nothing improves until the rats desert the ship. VENKYS OUT - NOTHING ELSE MATTERS

Push is going to come to shove at Hillsborough very soon indeed. When the HMRC winding up petitions get served the clock is ticking. No more kicking the can down the road Interested parties will be hovering and waiting to pick them up on the cheap when they're out of time and options.

The problem is, England are overloaded with midfield players with the latest Anderson (an excellent player) breaking through and another who is ahead of Wharton You get the feeling Adam is going to need a move to a "big" club for England to pick him

Born in 1982 sadly never had the opportunity. But although they won 3 out of 4 world cups including 2 back to back they didn't manage to win the copa america. Screen shot with winners on the left, defeated finalist on right.

The one off shirt was being discussed in April 2024. They ignored many of our suggestions for this season’s kits though so who knows what will emerge… I expect the blue to be dark & the Maltese Cross to feature…

If you look at the merch this year it is all made with chatgpt.

If you look at the juxtaposition between Spain 2010 and Barcelona 2010/11, which culminated in that exhibition against United in the CL final I'd say it's fairly safe to say Pep wasn't the problem.

I take it you never saw Brazil between 1958 and 1970 ?

In years to come it will reach 11.
