Wish I could see the team sheets. Great to watch. Thanks, Speeeeedie.

If Forest get through it should be a cracking final. Well done Jordan Rhodes.

I think the whole thing, year on year, is just not my scene. However, I sat with my better half and watched the whole show up to halfway through the judges voting. Firstly, the three presenters are not a patch on most British presenters; no polish, no finesse. Secondly, Graham Norton is a pain in the proverbial. I've never liked him, never will. He often overspoke what us viewers were listening to. Thirdly, I thought this was a song contest and not a dance contest or a "who can perform best under the most flashing lights" contest. I feel sorry for those who become affected when lights are flashing. Fourthly, I thought Spain's entry was awful and Australia.........words fail me. Fifthly, when Iceland were about to give their 12 points we both shouted "Sweden!" Ditto with Cyprus........"Greece!". (Cyprus vote for Greece every year regardless of the quality) Finally, my favourite songs were Portugal, Poland, Switzerland, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Lithuania. I was most entertained by Moldova. I

Which seems to be taking months to happen. Still doom and gloom for me.

No wonder local councils are in a financial mess. My council employed some pratt to "sort things out". I think she was on nearly a thousand a day. Utterly ridiculous. And she made a reet mess. Local Authorities pre 1974 were run properly by a solicitor (Town Clerk), an engineer (Borough Surveyor), a doctor (Medical Officer) and an accountant (Borough Treasurer). The general public didn't get ripped off. P.S. Sorry to go off topic.

Where is Bielsa these days? Would he come to Ewood?

The Sweeney, Minder and New Tricks mainly. RIP Dennis.

I wish it said "Blackburn Rovers set for new owners". Ah well.

Jeff Stelling will be delighted. And change their nickname to "The Chaddyhangers"?

Good to see Vale and Markanday on the bench.

My only criticism of Nyambe is his attack or lack of it. His defending is excellent.

If he goes to Hibs, I'll be singing, "My tears are drying, my tears are drying, thank you, thank you, thank you......."

I think Bristol City will do better next season if Pearson is still there.

Older fans like me always supported OUR club through thick and (a lot of) thin. This is now Venkys' club, not ours. Hughes would scrap the youth system here. He's not interested in bringing youth through.

Your whole post made interesting reading, Glen but board members at Ewood are only employees. Most properly run football clubs have board members, i.e. directors who together own the club. Secondly the Venkys "culture" sounds to me they are very much in the same mindset as Vladimir Putin. God help us!

Who is this Eid Mubarak? Will he be the new CEO, the new manager or a new player?

So it's not just me who thought that about you Tyrone.........😜

Well done Gillingham for allowing Fleetwood to stay up yesterday.

And when was the last time you saw Nyambe put over a cross? At least Lenihan did. Nyambe rarely goes forward after he's crossed the half way line and when he does he generally puts the ball back to Buckley or someone to cross it.

My MOM was Billing. What a fantastic player! He is tall, has long legs, can run fast, can play intricate football, has a football brain, can score goals, can make goals............. Where the hell did they get him from? Lovely player! As for Rovers, we were outclassed. I'm not as incensed as I was after Posh and Potters, mind. I stayed to applaud the lads and their families. I even shouted, "Thank you, Tony" and meant it. What the hell lies in store for us now I haven't a clue. It will be an interesting summer.

As the Americans would say................Figures.

Is he on trial? He's not included in the squads of any of the teams on Rovers' web site.

Whatever happened to that Irish lad, right full back? I cannot find him in the squads on Rovers' official site.

I think our two quick goals knocked the stuffing out of PNE. We were set up with square pegs in square holes and went at them with the intensity that we had lost so far in 2022. That performance was a joy to watch. Pickering's early booking was a disgrace. It was a foul but it wasn't cynical or vicious. There was no intent to injure. I thought the ref, by doing that, had made a rod for his own back. Look at the two bad fouls on Buckley by Whiteman towards the end which went unpunished. Gallagher's card was justified. It was cynical. Another very poor referee.

Lenihan was a midfielder when he graduated into the first team but immediately was asked to play centre back in which position he has stayed.
