Were you rocking a nice pair of Bruno Maglis?

Out of his league.

The one he wrote with Noel Gallagher (called Jumble Queen) is an absolute banger!

Not sure about Soul Wanderings but the other slow new one, Nothing, sounds lovely. 
 

I have also heard three others from ‘66’ played acoustically at a charity show in December. There’s one called Ship of Fools, a co-write with Suggs, that sounds amazing.

Im glad he dropped Town Called Malice from the set last night.

Highlight for me was a song called Rockets from the On Sunset album. Nailed it! Also, as a mod I was delighted when his bass player came up to me before the gig in the Drummers Arms and asked me about the top I was wearing 😎😉✊🏻🍻

I see he was playing a “ Burns “ bass.

One of the caveats around the cheaper season tickets was that the income from filling the Darwen End with away fans four or five times a season would offset the losses from the cheaper prices we paid. It worked really well and the initiative served two purposes. I really don't buy the argument about having lots of away fans and giving our opponents some kind of advantage. I'm sure it works the other way whereby any player worth his salt would want to play in a real atmospheric surrounding irrespective of where the noise comes from. 

Plus the point that big followings only help if you’re doing ok. If you’re losing they can soon get restive.

Since Eustace took over we're 20th. Fair to say it's probably going to be another rough season next if we manage to survive this one

Look where Leicester are ! Then I saw where Sheff Wed are !

Apparently there is a sell-on clause re Wharton.

I should think so. Selling him without one would have been madness. Even the Chicken Chokers aren’t that stupid.

Did we ever really do that?

I can't remember any point where we've really put up a great fight to keep players. Duff went fairly easily. Bellamy, Santa Cruz, Bentley, Jones...

It's not really anything new. 

I think the difference is, to a greater or lesser extent, they all wanted to leave. I don’t think Wharton did.

He could also pick it up in those days.

True. I’ve still seen back passes end up in the goals though.

But I would leave Dolan and Szmodics up top. Far more useful there and forces the opposition to leave players back.

Just the basics really.

I don’t know why teams don’t play like that. What use is Dolan defending a corner ? Get him on the half way line.

Regarding the actual incident I was always told to pass the ball back wide of the goal if possible. Having said that we weren’t giving it back to the keeper on multiple occasions every five minutes.

And that's Muric to my ears 😁. A reported £18m for Trafford and an undisclosed fee for Muric. If you melted them together in a pot you wouldn't get a good 'un. Kompany had his pants pulled down by City.

They should have tried for Kaminski - £2 million and a better bet than either of those.

Maria Muldaur - Midnight At The Oasis

Mainoo, Elliott, Chukwuekema, and Buonanotte have all definitely impressed this season. Then you have some highly touted prospects like Rico Lewis who is playing as a right-back but could definitely have his future in midfield and players like Lavia who haven't really played this season.

It's not a knock on Wharton. He's very talented and he could go onto big things, but as he was our player there is a tendency to look at his talent as being more unique than it probably is. Still a long way to go before he even starts putting himself in England contention.

*I'll also add that I'm almost certainly forgetting or overlooking certain players as I don't watch as many matches from some clubs. Again, we benefit from paying attention to Wharton in a way that we wouldn't have had he just signed for Palace from Leicester.

The lad’s got what you can’t teach. He carries his own space around with him. He’s two passes in front of play. Terrific vision and passing skills. If he’d gone to Liverpool or Arsenal instead of Palace he be knocking on the England door now.

Entertaining your guesses on the sell on. Is he really going for £90m anytime soon?

Does it matter ? We won’t see any of it.

Just now, Eddie said:

I think you'll struggle to find something saying that I didn't rate him. I think he's very talented, but I've always said that there are players of equal talent dotted around clubs in England. 

As for not many? It's a relatively short list, but there would definitely be 5-10 on it virtually every season (including this one).

How many are just 20 years old ?

RIP ‘Deadly’ Derek Underwood, another childhood hero gone 😢

Really, that’s shame. I remember coming home from work on the last day of an Ashes test in the UK. It was about 4-50 pm when games finished at 6-00 pm.The Aussies were hanging on for a draw at about 55 for 2. Underwood had them all out in under an hour on a wicket that was helping him. For the last couple of wickets every England fielder was in camera shot surrounding the batsman !

Thanks for the memories Derek.

Edit - just looked it up. The Oval 1968. The highlights are on YouTube for those interested.

Vernon, Pickering---both to Everton where our best managers seemed to end up as well. Mike England to Spurs.

We really are a feeder club.

Kevin Hird, John Bailey, Colin Hendry - the list goes on and on. But at least we got a season or two out of all of them first !

He won’t be at Palace long.

I’m envious of all the other clubs that are being run by sentient human beings that actually give a fuck. Clubs that are being run with a plan that lasts longer than the next 24 hours. I’m also envious of all the other clubs that have owners who actually turn up to games and face the music if necessary . I look at the like of Bolton, Pompey, Derby who have hit the depths and are coming back up again and I’m envious because with proper ownership Rovers could be on the way back as well.

I just hope I live long enough to see the cancer that is slowly killing Blackburn Rovers removed entirely.
