It’s all rosy down at Ewood. All hail the Venkys!

Best team easy last night overall, thoroughly deserved to go through. Dominated large parts of the 90 minutes and virtually all of the extra time.

Talking of making transfers! Anyone play Premier League Fantasy Football? New thread probably needed but we could get a BRFCS league going? Unless there’s already one set up.

I wonder how many fans think ‘I don’t need this bag but I’ll take it anyway’.

Just on my way back from the Voice of the Fans fanzine exhibition at Leeds Central Library. Good to see a couple of copies of 4,000 Holes make the cut (issues 100 and 112), as well as a Blackburn Rovers Youth 'hated but rated' badge (I'd never heard of them 🙃). Rather Leeds United centric obviously, but a pleasant, well-curated mix. It's worth dropping by if you are local or passing through the city. Best of all, it's free! Open Mon-Sat daytime (and evenings Mon-Wed) until Sat 09 Aug.

Nothing said above? So to clarify, the club were perfectly happy with the minutes, but there is a delay for some other reason?

I love him I've got his picture on me wall, got his name upon me scarf.

“You can hate the snake and hate the snake charmer”

Whatever - I have never posted "hate the snake". Ok, so I just did.

Everton home shirts.

It is the lack of communication, that causes the paranoia.

Basically, none of the paranoia or anything said above bears out reality. Please simmer down, ta.

Well we know that for our players with 1 year left that he said he wanted new deals for them. Still a bizarre thing to downpost. But then you’ve already posted previous regarding Eustace that you “hate the snake” Hissss 🐍 🐍

Knew that was coming.

Don't be silly.

Seems to be accepted that he tried to get some assurances on the likes of Brittain, Travis and Tronstad though. It probably never even entered his head we wouldn't be able to come to terms on a short term deal with Batth.

Any club merchandise sold at preseason matches?

The control-freakery and paranoia at the club must be toxic. Makes you long for the days of Waggott. Things, as is being proved, can always get worse.

Fair enough. It’s pretty obvious what’s going on and I understand your reluctance to comment further.

Because it's not fact, or at least you don't know the truth. I doubt he tried to give Batth an new extension at the time he left.

If they don’t start well they’ll sack him and bring someone far better in. They won’t fuck about. As for their squad, they’ll be more than competitive when the season kicks off.

That’s why they are best judged at the end of this window but you are right of the season were to start this week o reckon they could struggle but I think they will do more business

Always thought djiksteele was a solid rb when I saw him , tbh I’d rather strengthen in more key areas like striker, right wing, don’t think it’s great to have rb as our best player. Need game changers

Agree to disagree...Just take a look at their squad...They may have money but they need to invest in it properly. They then need a decent manager...Phil Parkinson is not that man, you have to agree with me there...I don't think he lasts till Xmas...Then it will take more than Disney to employ the right man to take them forward.

Perhaps not, mismanagement up until now really weaken our hand. It was more about the choice of replacement. We have to find better than that which will involve paying a fee.
