Was just having a look at available managers & one that stood out to me as an interesting one: Roberto Di Matteo. Obviously a strange spell at Villa where he was only in charge for 12 games (Losing 4), but has done pretty well everywhere else, including a Championship promotion season at West Brom, where he took them back up after they were relegated from the Prem. Who did he replace at the Hawthornes? Yep, you guessed it! High profile (ish), previous promotion, out of work - could work within Venky's usual criteria & I wouldn't be too disappointed myself. certainly an upgrade on suggestions of Pulis! I'm sure someone will come along and piss on my chips though - other than the fact TM's going nowhere, but hey, I can dream! Managerial stats below for those interested:

Luther Vandross - Stop To Love

Chris DeBurgh - Don't Pay The Ferryman

INXS - Devil Inside

I didn't realise it was Lowe at first, but I actually said to my daughter "who's that guy there? He looks like he's won a competition to sit in the dugout for a game"

Angie Stone - I Wish I Didn't Miss You

Can you imagine letting Bruno Fernandez loose against our current midfield! 🤣 Anyway, he's not going is he? Yeay, Millwall defeat to look forward to now.

Queen - Play The Game

I'll have a pint of whatever you're having!

The bad thing with this now, personally, is that I'm going to spend all day tomorrow on here in the desperate hope that we get the news he's going/gone! Aaaarrrrggggh! It's the hope that kills you.

Please God, I hope you're right! Couldn't bring myself to watch it.

Sick to death of watching the same turgid shite every game. Nothing changes. I bet I could close my eyes & know exactly where the ball is when we have it. Yet this muppet seems to think that all of a sudden it'll produce different results! It's shite, shite to watch & doesn't work. Just fecking do one!!

Beers in the fridge - put the rest of the box on the patio (nice & cold tonight) just in case as they won't all fit in the fridge. Got Corona in tonight on a 2 boxes for £18 deal in Asda.

Fun. ft Janelle Monae - We Are Young

Get some of that Rovers beer ordered! https://hopsandshots.co.uk/rovers Although I've heard that it starts off really lively & full of promise, then goes a bit flat & stale before eventually leaving a sour taste in the mouth!

Jessie J - Price Tag

Yazoo - Nobody's Diary Classic 80s!

😱

Just heard on the news that Ian St John has died aged 82 after illness. I don't remember him playing, but growing up, it was the law to watch Saint & Greavsie with my mates before heading off to Ewood. RIP

I'm not a Rugby fan, but I watched "The Rugby Codebreakers" last night on BBC1. I really enjoyed it. It was a real insight into the division between Union & League in the early days & up until the mid 90s, particularly in Wales. Think it's also available on iPlayer. I was quite pleased as I only ended up watching it because it was on after MOTD2.

David Gray - The One I Love

Hmm, now what could possibly cause such a downturn in sales? 🤔

Called a draw on Saturday, although I did say 2-2, not that it matters much, it's still 1pt and 0 GD. I can't see anything other than defeat tomorrow unless a miracle happens & we sack Mowbray & appoint a new guy today, meaning that the players will at least give their all trying to prove something to the new guy. However, back in the real world, it'll be 6 defeats in 7, Lucas Joao will score a hat-trick then go & sit on the (naughty) steps sucking his thumb whilst pointing & laughing at Mowbray. We generally do tend to score at least one, so I'm saying 4-1 Reading (serious about the Joao hat-trick btw). Armstrong to get it back to 2-1 in the 75th min to have Neil Yardley & Warren Lucy creaming themselves about how we've got 15 mins to get 2 goals and go on to win it keeping our play off dream alive, before the inevitable capitulation as Reading score 2 more. For that reason, I'll be watching on Sky! Mowbray out!

Sitting under a bramble bush would make him a better defender compared to working under Mowbray!
