If his account of his treatment during and post injury is half accurate it's a pretty poor do on Rovers behalf. Having said that he is a bit of a brat prat and I'm not a fan of kiss and tell for cash which may lead to the underlying story being manipulated.

I'm up watching AC V Liverpool (Salah just scored!) so will stay up for the Test. I see Jimmy is being saved for the day/night game conditions in the 2nd match. I'm 69 and ok doing a night/dayer so get yer kit on Jimmy!

Yes, and Freddie took it high in the charts

I understand just how you feel

Playing any of the 'Big Boys' reserves in the FA Cup 3rd Round holds little attraction for me, especially as we would probably do the same. The 3rd Round draw used to be one of the seasons highlights until those same Big Boys diminished the competition. The arrogant r-unts only get interested at the semi-final stage. Anybody who gets us a TV slot will do fine.

Thanks for posting. I will give that one a wide berth.

Mowbrays win% with Rovers since promotion back to the Championship in 2018 over 157 games is 36.31% Bobby Saxton was 36.58% over 246 games and Don Mackay was 39.22% over 232 games. Saxton and Mackay managed us in the Second Division, the real name of the Championship. I seriously doubt that Mowbray will ever surpass Mackays Win% at Rovers nor will he ever win a Cup with us. If Mowbray is a Legend then Don M is a God King.

With Sky Leeds in the PL they seem to have been replaced by Sky Coventry.

Under Saxton and over 5 seasons (81/2-85/6) in the Second Division we finished 10th, 11th, 6th, 5th, and 19th. In 4 of those seasons no transfer fees were paid or received. A profit of 74k was made in season 84/5 Under Mackay and over 5 seasons (86/7-90/91) in the Second Division we finished 12th, 5th, 5th, 5th and 19th. During this period we won the FMC and fecked up at Palace. Don was more active in the transfer market and and the Walker money arrived in Don's final season but with the benefit of hindsight was not spent very well. Over the 5 seasons net transfer fees were -23k, -7k, +135K, +945k* and -2.24** million. (* Hendry, **Agnew, Livingstone, Dobson, Richardson, Mimms). Frankly Bobby S, who is a hero of mine, did a great job with empty pockets and Don M. was superb for most of his stay. Note how both were potted after a poor(ish) season.

This will be PL driven to drive their 'closed shop' ideal world, as was FFP. Anything to make clubs outside of the PL less competitive. The EFL are mere lapdogs to their PL masters. Is there still a Monopolies Commission? Meanwhile we delude ourselves into thinking that there will be coming an effective fan driven Government supervised football regulator.

LoL. That's how I took it too. Well that and the ramblings of FB wannabees.

Not forgetting Don who won a Cup with NO money and Bobby who built most of that team also with nowt.

Yes. Payback for what should have been a red card against Fulham. Bellend or not Evans is a handful for any defender. (Edit: I cannot stand the fecking condescending use of 'really' when starting a conversation)

I just found myself wanting PNE to get the winner! Fulham a team and management of divers and constant bitching and Ref intimidation.

I do read the Guardian - for football only. How was there reporting on the plane/booze/young girl?

Oh dear oh dear. The fucking Guardian lw shitfest

WOW. I will have to process whatever bonus logic is here. I could be gone a while.

Selling the biggest and best burgers I've ever had. That van has seen a few years and hopefully will still be around in better times at Ewood.

OJS will never get another such high profile job and will probably never get another PL appointment. Still, with a £7.5 million payoff he will be in no rush and can have a lifetime of paid expenses as a ManUre ambassador just for the asking. I was confident that MU would win nothing with him at the helm, sadly that could change in the unlikely event that MU make a decent appointment and spend well. Not that I actually give a feck......

https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/20256774 Current England contracted players. Do the maths.

Rovers stream problem so just saw the donkey Maguire sent off. Cheered me up no end.

That's how I saw it too. A big fecker too, hopefully someone will break that cnuts leg

Do they just have a holiday in the international break? Shambolic. Giving far too many fouls away. Has Nyambe been on the sauce, he is pants today. Still a long time to go yet.

I see Blue & White clashes with all Red. Shame really (I like the yellow though)
