Essentially it's just his name being sung to the tune of an early 2000s song. The problem is that song. It's Chocolate by Soul Control. I'm sure I don't need to explain any further. Like @Tom, I'm not exactly comfortable with it either.

The thing is, we've seen from past experience that it does bother him. He can't be doing with people criticising or questioning him. Not that I genuinely think it'll actually make any difference to his position, but he certainly doesn't like it.

Anyone else secretly hoping that we go a goal or two down so we can give Mowbray some shit? I want to see him squirm and make a knob of himself getting all defensive & high & mighty! Of course, I want Rovers to win every game, but if we can't then I'll take the option above if it hastens his exit.

Whilst I agree that xG is a complete load of old bollocks, it actually still shows here overall that we should've lost the game - 1.32 to 0.2, therefore 1-0 to QPR was about right. So what the hell this Watson fella is on about, I have absolutely no idea! "ooh look guys, their xG is really low & much lower than in recent weeks, isn't Tony doing a good job!" "no you fecking clown! Look at ours as well!" (and yes I am still fuming from last night so anything like this is a red rag to a bull)

Not to mention him (& the linesman) completely missing the fact that Davenport was stood a yard onto the pitch when he took a throw in towards the end - it wasn't even close! I couldn't stop laughing.

Ok. I'll be honest, usually I'll trawl through the pages to see what has & hasn't been said , but 100% the blame lies with Mowbray. We had a midfielder there in Buckley on a yellow & on a warning after that, so essentially started the 2nd half with 10 men. Not having a go at Buckley but the lad new he couldn't risk going for a challenge. Said to all around me at HT, Take him off & bring Johnson or Davenport on. But no, bellendinho, waits until they got a goal back to make the change! Incompetence at it's absolutely best. Yes, gally was ultimately at fault but TM is a grade A absolute wankshaft! I'm no football management expert but come on! This is the basics!!!

Was gonna put that in the TK thread but seeing as this one's decended into a Raya discussion.....

Omg! Seriously, can people not see it!! Raya, superb shot stopper, just needed polishing round the rough edges to get his complete game in order. Cue community centre Ben....hmm. nothing, nowt, nada! Oh sorry " saaave". 12mths later, we have an international standard goalkeeper, great shot stopper superb distribution, just needs a little polishing on his decision making. In comes our Ben, "Saaave Thomas " & fuck else. Oh, by the way Tommy, can put your boots on the wrong feet please, your kicking is far too accurate! This muppet can turn Donnarumma into a league 1 keeper in no time! Bell end!!!! Rant over! Sorry, ex gk union!

I might be wrong, but I'm sure I've read that the Tribunal fee doesn't apply if he moves abroad. With his Chile exploits & the likes of Sevilla apparently sniffing around, this is a distinct possibility. If this is correct, it's vital to tie him into a new contract now.

You get nothing for a pair! 😉

Yeah, that certainly didn't make any sense: "so I get back on Friday, have to isolate in a hotel for 10 days but should be ok for the Coventry game" 😵

Is there any way to enter a negative score? I want to give a realistic rating to Poveda as all he did was help the opposition and it won't go below zero.

@Herbie6590 Are we stuck in a Mowbrayesque timewarp? I wish we COULD play them with our squad from '92! 😄

I agree partially with your comment, however, given Ben's age, I still think it was foolish not to at least have given him say, a 2 year extension on similar terms. If this had happened 6 months ago he would probably have accepted and we'd have protected our asset (again, I'm using his age as a barometer as an 'asset' here rather than his performances plus the fact that we've £7m tied up in him.) Given his exploits with Chile and the start to this season, we could them have been in a good place to offer him improved terms as we would still have been holding most of the cards.

Can someone injure Poveda in training please so we can send him back. I don't think I've ever witnessed so much shite in such a short space of time on a football field. Clarkson not up to it, likewise magloire. Injuries & subs killed us here. Like others have said, why not bring on Butty & Edun? Oh yes we know why, cos we've committed to gametime for the loanees. Surely we can put a clause in these contracts which say "unless he's shite"!

Ok for me but not the best pic, it's only SD obviously but it's a bit jerky as well. I Might have to play with the trumotion settings!

Stop porking fun at the poor guy's name! HR would be giving you the chop for that! 😜

My daughter is 16 (15 last year obviously) & has been sent an email with an invite so I can vouch for the fact that that age group is included.

Yeah just heard this on the radio. There won't be any left before long which is extremely sad. Didn't realise he was still Liverpool's leading league goalscorer, assumed Rush had overtaken him on all counts. RIP

The Brentford Liverpool game was a terrific watch. Especially just having been on Ewood watching us demolish Cardiff. That save Raya made from Jota in the first half was something else!

Thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Can't fault any one of our players & a BBD hat trick was the icing on the cake. My daughter was going out straight from the game so asked if I could get her mate a ticket (an Everton fan & also plays for their girls team) she'd never been to Ewood before & really enjoyed it, even joined in waving a Chile flag about. I've said she can definitely come again!! 😁

FFS why do they not do these things out of season!!!

Not if we're as slow with a new deal for him as we are with every other half decent player!

Didn't realise it was 'that' Big Ste we were on about. Used to do quite a few gigs at the Red Herring years ago, real top bloke Ste. Him & Muurrry (as Ste used to pronounce Mary) used to have that place rocking. Hope he's OK.

Don't worry, he doesn't look at the league table! 😄
