Originally thinking of something else but yea agonising

Pederson V Chelsea in the cup semi-final.

Yea I agree mate clearly a well spoken woman and knowledgeable on matters. I do feel for her and the others it's just not fair and in addition to her comments on there not being much out there promoting the women side and match days I have to agree the really have put them in the back seat. We're one club with many teams all representatives of Blackburn Rovers

Motorhead - Iron Fist

Gueye has had one season in English football and has already matched gallaghers best season for goal contributions. Both aren’t anything special let’s be real but he’s different and offers more than gally does and ‘should’ improve

Don’t remind us 😫

Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name

That dennis header at shef utd will take some beating tbf

Any updates @glen9mullan bigger coalition, more power.

Good chat

Dream on!

yes

Is this the 2024 or 2025 summer window thread? 🤣 Is it the 30th of june when existing contracts actually end? (ie Dolan, Weimann, Baath)

..and his rampant alcoholism..

I'm not sure if a comparison to Casemiro this season is all that flattering.

I can think of 4, which for a first season would indicate he’s definitely not one of the worst headers of the ball we’ve had Granted I think he could be better though

The Supremes - Stop In The Name Of Love

We could do far worse than to add critical thinking to the curriculum (try saying that quickly!).

Spoke very well. Really highlights the type of people we have running the club..and lack of any willingness to do anything. Got to feel for her.

If VI implements the aggressive, more attacking style he apparently favours then the forwards should hopefully get more chances to make an impact next season. JE took a very cautious approach and we hardly flooded the box when attacking. The likes of Ohashi and Gueye could fare a lot better next season, especially as they’ll now be properly acclimatised to EFL football.

Football seems to be stuck in a bit of identity crisis which in my opinion is a good thing. As we're starting to see a bit more variety in different methods rather than just attempts at total Guardiola football. A lot of the big boys have built reputations on being the best at this type of football but look at the trend now, they're all looking for a big physical centre forward and are slowly conceeding to the reality of how effective having a player like that up front really is. It was unfashionable a few years ago, now it's becoming a bit of a blueprint. My point being... We have that sort of player in Gueye, like those teams, you need to be making the most out of him by playing to his abilities. Get early balls in the box, have pace out wide and have a pacier option on the bench in case it doesn't work. I really think Makhtar is that sort of player that could bang in 15 goals+ if he can get off to a good start.

His body is clearly failing him now, its been another season where he has constantly been injured. He was never a natural goalscorer and was always average (and overpriced) but he was nowhere near as bad as you made out. But back to Gueye. His performances and goal return last season do not compare favourably to most of Gallagher's seasons here and as I said before, he started exactly half of our games. We won 6 he started and 13 that he didnt. That tells you quite a lot.

I don't like players who swing the lead for season after season, therefore I'd have a similarly dim view of Corry Evans. Gallagher was half decent during his initial loan spell under Coyle (although never worth spending anywhere near £5m on) but following his return on a permanent basis he turned being invisible and avoiding getting into scoring positions into an art form. Opinions vary on how much effort Gallagher put in but for me he was only ever going through the motions for that reason. Incidentally, he only scored 3 League goals for Stoke this season as well so that looks like it's a "standard Gallagher season" now. Bet Stoke are delighted they're paying him £15k - £20k p.w.

Closest player we've ever had to Gueye that I can recall is Shefki Kuqi. Big, Clumsy, bit of a handful, not incredibly prolific but scores a few. Infectious enthusiasm and extremely likeable.

Gueye is as good as we have got, players from the past mean absolutely nothing for the present team.
