That's what was said about the Armada.

It's beyond embarrassing that he's just assembling last year's squad (as much of it as he can). It's also beyond embarrassing that "better the devil you know, we could have been Derby" are spending £11m+ this window.

BBD sank without a trace in Spain. Dolan would be back in the Championship before we knew it.

Brittain to Derby is a fucking joke.

Dear Venkys In the last 30 years we've had some top quality strikers: Shearer, Sutton, Cole, Bellamy, Santa Cruz, McCarthy, Matt Jansen.. ...and they all graced this club in the 15 yrs before you rocked up. The best you've given us is Rhodes, Armstrong, Brereton and Szmodic. Thanks.

Really, really going off both Derby and Eustace

Convinced that Tavares & Baradji would be/are Tronstad and Travis replacements, with Forshaw, Buckley and Montgomery in reserve.

Rovers have announced the ticket prices for the Carabao Cup match against Bradford on Tuesday 12th August. Prices are very good but the announcement gives one price for both non season ticket and season ticket holders. Bizarrely the Everton friendly had a £2 uplift for non season ticket holders. Another strange decision. https://rovers.co.uk/news/2025/july/22/ticket-news--rovers-v-bradford-city/

Their target now has shifted from 10k to 9k and they'll probably come within a few hundred of that so they'll be happy again. Prices have been adjusted to cover the shortfall so happy days hey look Mr D we've hit our forecasts again, we are really good at this can we have that bonus !

United fans clapped him off

It was exciting though.

Plus like a lot of explosively quick players he was prone to muscle injuries.

Barcelona’s second team.

Bellamy was so quick but also technically superb. He did a few things Ive only seen Henry do. The end to end goal against Boro was absolutely ridiculous. He did okay career wise but he should have done much better with his talent, just such a total knobhead unfortunately.

I think so, I’d want a goal start to back England if they play Spain.

Dolan to espanyol would be fun on the forum

Marcus Rashford is on the cusp of joining Barca, literally anything can happen in football.

Put in one of the best crosses ever for the MGP volley against Fulham.

The defensive midfielder situation is a strange one. I wonder if the Baradji deal happened whether Travis or Tronstad would then be sold...If we arnt selling either then I find it difficult that we'll be spending in that area. All in all I feel Travis will leave, if in that case then it's critical we spend to fill that gap.

No surprise the sales have slowed down. Marquee signings would be needed now to create interest, or a blinder of a start to the season, before they go off sale.

Yeah he was special. Remember the hat trick he got at Old Trafford ?

And the wingers taking it to the line before whipping in a cross that sends the defence into disarray. Still, I'm sure the statistics say we shouldn't have played like that....

Being the saddo that I am I did a little exercise on the ticket map back on June 10th. There was 9004 available seats to buy on that date. Last Friday I looked again, and there was 8681 available, which would indicate only 323 shifted in the past 5/6 weeks.
