I think we have all been there and fortunately, most people mature with age. At the tender age of 58 I prefer a bit of banter of the like I just got involved in about an hour ago. The person I had the banter with, will be spending quite a bit of the 10 days with me, that I am back in the UK for and win lose or draw, we will be having a few beers together too.

Lose this and it is no longer in our own hands. There is plenty of motivation there alone, so leave nothing out there on the pitch guys, give it everything and make us proud. I am watching from Spain as usual and travel back to the UK for 10 days on Wednesday morning. I hope I can attend the Luton game without it being a dead rubber and at least 1 point assures us of that. COYB.

I agree and I was just saying, it could happen. It’s the last thing I want.

And now they are complaining about it being done to them. We went down on goals scored.

It’s ironic that Huddersfield have complained, as that’s exactly what they did when they played Birmingham on the last day of the season, when we went down.

They will win that one. A bit like us V Luton, Boro will not risk using their best players and having them missing for the play off games. Both fixtures will be similar to Huddersfield V Birmingham, in our relegation season.

I didn’t say don’t use the money, simply to lose Wharton totally would be very sad. A Blackburn lad who supports the club and is as talented as he is, should at least have a couple of seasons with us to enjoy him. I think you may have understood me, I meant loan Adam back if we end up having to sell him.

Adam’s talents have been firmly showcased now, after some excellent games live on TV. The big worry for me would be losing him in the summer. It would take big money and if a premier league club does come in, then we need to do our best to secure a loan back, as part of the deal, It would be ironic, if it was Liverpool and our annual loan next season, was non other.

I think we can win it. Out fate is in our own hands still. It’s tough, but if we win this, Luton will be resting players, having already made the top six. That would mean we can go into the final match, with a very good chance still. I can’t contemplate losing and them clinching it at our place. Although a draw would not be a disaster, it does then mean, rely on others.

Get the Spaniards back on. Estamos listos?

Vamos Rovers. Somos los mejores

Big that

2-1 Cov

1-1 now

Norwich now 2 down and down to 10 men. That’s them out of it. Biggest rivals now are Cov, WBA, Millwall and PNE. Firmly in our own hands, but we must show up today. My heart is already pounding.

To everyone going, sing your hearts out and let’s hope your roar us to a much needed victory. I will be watching from Spain, but will be back for the Luton game. Hope it isn’t a dead rubber.

Two wins and a draw will do this now. PNE has to be a win. Luton MIGHT rest a few and if we go to Millwall needing a point, I would settle for that right now. If we get anything next Tuesday, it is a bonus, in more ways than one.

I knew I wouldn’t sleep and here I am again on here at silly O’Clock. Been trying to work out, how this weekends results will go and how we will be feeling when he kick off on Saturday. I think Coventry and Millwall will win and if they do, I think we need to. I then think WBA will beat Sunderland on Sunday. If that does all happen and especially if we can win, then a point V the Dingles, would be a good one. I still have this funny feeling we will go to Millwall on the final day and both teams will need one point to finish in the top six. It would be so much better, had we held on, but to coin a phrase “This is Blackburn Rovers’.

Hard to swallow that, but everyone put a shift in. I think I was sweating blood in the last 20 mins. It wasn’t to be, but had we lost, it was probably all over. We can definitely get something at Preston and will know the other results by the time we play. This time next week, if it is still in our own hands, I think we will do it. Nail biting stuff and it will be hard to sleep tonight now.

I think he did V Blackpool, although I may be wrong.

I only partly knew some of this, so have missed a few bits. It does sound like he could be difficult to manage, but hopefully someone can sort him out. What a shame it would be, if his apparent petulance, ruins his chances at Rovers and beyond.

I won’t be betting on it, just pointing out what the bookies think, to give it a bit of perspective.

The bookies say we are.
