  1. Having rewatched, it's a better ending than I thought last night. Lots of loose ends tied up, and at least the ending makes sense. Makes sense treating the Fourth Man literally (they were all 'caddies') without a specific 'Big Bad' leading. Plus, a nice nod to the idea that oftentimes 'evil' is just incompetence not being challenged early enough.
  2. I mean... 🤷‍♂️ The fuck, Jed?
  3. That's got to be an early contender for post of the decade. Concise and dripping with satiric self-awareness, of course. 10/10
  4. I'm tempted to shit in a bag myself and hang it in random people's gardens. Why not? Welcome to the Freudian nightmare in my head 🤣
  5. I'd hardly say den is a yesteryear poster 😜
  6. I haven't what? You said something about outmuscling men when 15 (Probably only Ronney ever did that), but Annesley is 20 and therefore a man. Just an odd way to phrase it imo.
  7. Don't have to imagine it, Burnley are doing it.
  8. Annesley is 6ft+ and 20 years old, he SHIULD be outmuscling players.
  9. Just to add, I'm not saying I think he actively wants the job. But I do suspect we'd be his pick of any jobs offered in this league. Based on 5 mins of one Zoom call last year 😛 My personal preference would actually be Ainsworth, but Hughesy would be my very close second.
  10. Side note, I also mentioned his amazing turn in midfield in the Worthy Cup final. He said something like: 'I love that fans appreciate me in that game. At that age, it's one of my favourite medals but I thought Graeme was trying to fucking kill me!'
  11. Pal of a pal was Zoom calling him about property. I was invited on the call just because I like Hughes, and had a good chat with him. Jokingly asked him when he's coming back and he said (paraphrasing): I loved my time with Rovers (never 'Blackburn') and leaving the way I did always felt like unfinished business.
  12. In fairness I do think it would attract Hughes, partially because of his time out the game (2 years?) and his unfinished business with us (a quote from the horses mouth on a surprise zoom call only a few months ago).
  13. Why can we not just have some sort of stylised halves for every away kit? Plenty of design and colour options. Being 'the club that plays in halves' seems such an easy marketing goal to score to me, yet we keep launching into row z.
  14. The whole thing reeked of a load of pissheads going on a night out before asking their partners if it was alright.
  15. About as damning as Sharpe may be allowed to get. the punches might be pulled somewhat, but they're there. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/19247018.verdict-blackburn-rovers-2021-story-well-told/?ref=wa
  16. If onlybwe had a manager as ruthless as the Joker!
  17. Send them to the Vanarama leagues. 3 North, 3 South. Fuck them. Also a quick fix redistribution of funds down the pyramid with gate receipts for those clubs down there.
  18. New CL format sounds interesting, more match variety.
  19. Our approximate first X1 under Hughes: Friedel Emerton Samba Nelsen Warnock Bentley Savage Tugay Pedersen Roberts McCarthy Cost less than £20m to compete in Europe. Mowbray would have us believe it takes 5x that to get into the Championship playoffs? Pull the other one, it's got bells on it
  20. There's an ice cream van doing rounds in CLM called "Uncle Sam's Ice's" Ugh.
  21. My vision for a CL revamp would be to have it return to a pure knockout format between the Champions of every European country's top league. Also invited to compete would be the CL and Europa winners of the previous 20 years. FYI, Europa would be between the winners of each nation's major cup competitions, rather than league places.
  22. At least Newcastle have won a European competition this century (albeit the Intertoto Cup).
  23. Cough Rovers Trust Marketing Prospectus Cough
