chris Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 To be honest, they are probably not far off. We still have not signed anyone offically, so they can't predict much else, our ony strker is Roberts at 34. We need good signings still and enough players to cover injuries.

heysham rover Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 I do get WSC as well, which is a good mag but 442 is just a purchase of habit. The connosieurs choice is actually 'blizzard' Matty but I'm not one to split hairs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverandout Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 totally agree with them, they know their stuff. well maybe not dead last but second bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mode_m Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Unless Kean is right and Formica and Rochina have their break out PL year I think last place or bottom three is a realistic prediction. Let's hope some of these transfer rumours come to be real moves and this never happens -- it does seem like things are starting to look up with the transfers, perhaps Venky's have paid off their Visa bill and are ready to spend again.

Clitherover Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Just picked up this months edition and it will be my last, predicting us to finish dead last!! There's still another month until the transfer window closes, how can they make predictions on the league table so early?, idiots. Still, anything to have a pop at little old Rovers ey...

heysham rover Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 we also finished above Wigan and Wolves who havent done anything to improve on their squads last year. We are also a better side than the 3 coming up, so that puts us at least 5th bottom for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heysham rover Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Pah, what do the Guardian know about footy, bloody trendy lefty lentil eating hippies!! I also cant take any article seriously that fails to get simple things like players names correct, Ricardo Rochina for instance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattyblue Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 'Blackburn could be the season's surprise package'. Prediction: 19th Usual flip flopping from the Guardian, I see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeanGreenMachine Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Did you bother reading it. Current squad 19th With signings, possible suprise package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeChuck Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Just picked up this months edition and it will be my last, predicting us to finish dead last!! That's what I would predict without any signings, not sure what else you would expect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourLaneBlue Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 'Blackburn could be the season's surprise package'. Prediction: 19th Usual flip flopping from the Guardian, I see. Are we really so desperate that we have to take quotes out of context to have a go? "On the other hand, if they reinforce before the transfer window closes or if they are spared ruinous injuries, Blackburn could be the season's surprise package: there is the skeleton of a good team there." Just picked up this months edition and it will be my last, predicting us to finish dead last!! They are all predicting a poor season in the offing. All papers etc. With zero players in, and the loss of Jones & Jones, Diouf gone, and a manager who has a Prem managerial record not too far from that of Paul Ince, what were you expecting? That really should be telling us something. However, we could bury our heads in the sand instead, if that helps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rog of the rovers Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 442 had Stoke to go down last season. :wacko: Instead, they were FA Cup runners up and a finished 13th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourLaneBlue Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 442 had Stoke to go down last season. :wacko: Instead, they were FA Cup runners up and a finished 13th OK, so they got that one wrong. Who else did they have to go down? I bet they got Blackpool spot on. Everyone had them to go down, just like now with us, and they did. They spent little and, ultimately, got punished for it despite a great effort. Stoke made some good signings and had a good season. Which route will we decide to take?

FourLaneBlue Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hmm...so, what conclusions can we take from this? Spend some of the cash and we have a chance. Spend bugger all while offloading some of your best players and we are very likely to go down. Venky's...it's up to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XLM Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Or you could just draw the conclusion that they don't have a bloody clue what they're on about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imy9 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Where do you begin with the inaccuracies in that report? Formica is yet to join Rovers, JJ played centre half, etc etc. There are at least 5 teams weaker than us, the there promoted teams, Villa and Wigan and we are yet to invest, I have faith in our team.
