He was about to take off. Bentley was great for us, but got greedy and burned out. Matt could have been the sober Gascoigne.

Crying shame what happened to him. Sven has a lot to answer for. Who knows where his career would have gone to if he'd kept his promise. He certainly would't have been in Rome. Amazing how one decision proved life changing. I thought he had everything, special talent.

I hated the shitest manager ever, makes Boris look honest. Loons leave is my mantra! Take your own made debt of course. Give us back to someone who cares?

I fully understand supporters who support regardless, I fully understand that folk have a free choice. How many of the current ST holders are pre-Loons? How many are kids, and go because it's a day out with mum and dad? How many are teens who just go for the beer? Fact......the Loons tenure has been an unmitigated disaster and the attendances reflect that. As others have said, business around Ewood has suffered, the town has suffered, most importantly we have suffered. How can that be glossed over?

I'm usually a pint glass full preferably (until empty), the Manchester weather is still an issue, and the pitch can't be that bad if Paine can get a half century. Straws.....clutching!

One down, the captain is due an innings (he's hit the third highest test score at OT previously) , Overton to hit a 90, don't worry everyone!

Well, what a cost the missed catches have been today at OT. Smith has just passed 200 again, and has helped the Aussies to over 400. England have been very sloppy.

I still maintain TM is not the manager to take us up. It will be a mirror of last season. No progress, yet it's still the Loons fault, as they are clueless, yet incredibly rich. We as fans, are blessed.

EFL confirmed won't re-open decision about expelling Bury. Despite keen interest. Sad, very sad.

No fizzy energy drink cup thread, but cold comfort of Sunderland dumping the Dingles out at the turd.

Aye, complete and utter bollocks!

,000,000. Apologies ?

Someone trying to re-open Bury buy out with £7 war chest.

Sky reporting VF take over of Bolton confirmed.

Fuck knows, doubt it!

Funny that, Gally as a CF attacking a cross in the box using his height.

Gally comes good!!

But isn't that where TM falls down as a manager, as if injuries don't occur, and has anyone really rated Canada's number what?

Horrible second goal, too.

Of course it is, but these clowns have no f'ing idea how to run a football club?

That's why I hate them. No affinity, no voice, no idea. They might be rich, and if so, spend wisely. But after all this time, clueless.

Not really a home game then, two hour drive away!

Less of the small!! We are at least medium.

Oh, and Sir Ben........I use the word advisedly, fucking awesome!!!

Excellent crowd. Going on Friday and staying at the Hotel with balcony view as a treat for me and the lad. Pity we lost today, but a win and we top the group and guarantee a home quarter final, which should generate a good crowd again
