I don’t think we’ve had two goals of such quality since Pedersen and Tugay vs Fulham?

I think Bristol ordered Yuki off Wish.com

Enjoyed that half tbh. For a manager with a reputation of playing quite basic, no-nonsense footy, we’re playing some entertaining stuff imo. Not quite the slick stuff of JDT’s best matches, but has hallmarks of Hughesy/Souey footy. I should emphasise ‘for this level’. I’m falling in love with Beck too.

Might be playing Baker off Ohashi, hoping to use his long shot?

It’s bonkers. Anyone who’s had a genuine sporting injury (whether minor or serious) knows that you hit the deck if you need to and don’t fucking move until you’re being treated.

Could’ve waited a year and had Pep.

It’s a fix! 😉

😬

Is this up your street @Leonard Venkhater?

We need someone to do a documentary about our title win, from the moment Jack bought the club. I’m imagining it done in the style of ‘I Believe in Miracles’ by Jonny Owen. Narrated entirely by footage, and interviews with the major players from the time, interspersed with late 80s/early 90s music.

What a prophetic time for that DVD to be released, summer 2010. Little did we know that 10 Years at the Top would tumble within months. God I hate Venkys. https://youtu.be/t6mZuBOjUJM?si=9eanMn_KbjZuGE4V

Christ, we’ll be saying that anyone who doesn’t belt out the lyrics to that dreadful version of Wild Rover at Ewood isn’t a true Rovers fan and is some sort of traitor or Dingle next. And it’s always the ‘freeze peach’ weirdos who DEMAND that dreadful dirge be sung. If they were that patriotic they’d know we have ‘freedom of expression’ here, and they’d would probably feel more at home serving a Reich. Change the anthem to something WORTH belting out, like the other home nations do. The best anthems I’ve witnessed are Flower of Scotland or Loch Lomond at Hampden Park, and Bread of Heaven at the Millennium Stadium (both attended as an England fan). (I refuse to attend Wembley without first seeing Rovers play there).

Yes please

Completely agree. Seeing the world’s best players play each other as often as they do isn’t good for the sport. It should be a special event. City vs Real Madrid shouldn’t be a potential group game, ever. It deserves knockout football, just as Mbappe vs Haaland does.

If it was a fluke, then Dunny was onside. They can’t have it both ways!

That’s better 🙂 just so tempting to put the same sounds in the same place

Nope, I’ve heard he prefers playing at the back.

Equally, John Filan was a keeper we knew, a safe pair of hands. Why replace him with some Yank who barely got a game in Liverpool’s reserves?

@Herbie6590 can we join your marketing team?

Seriously (I’m spamming this thread now, I know) Karate Kid is one of my all-time favourite films. Properly fucking love it (don’t get me started on Cobra Kai, it’s amazing). Even now, when work gets overwhelming, I hear Mr Miyagi telling Daniel: ‘Daniel-san. Remember lesson about balance? Lesson not just karate only. Lesson for whole life. Whole life have balance, everything be better. Understand?’ Even his driving advice is sound: ‘Remember license never replace eye, ear, brain.’
