We are in for a major power shift in the PL. Good. I, for one, am tired of the usual suspects, more so after the ESL shenanigans. So the Saudi PIF is separate from KSA and the extended 'family'. Well I never, someone has rewritten fact as fiction very well. Nevermind, there are a lot of other shysters around in the PL. And we missed out on the Qataris ...... thanks Vs.

Honour? made me laugh. I could give it another name begins with 'R'

Well this is just baseball with a ball that sometimes bounces during delivery. The batting* is in general a level ahead of the bowling. * This is being done by batsmen, not a batswoman in sight but there are a couple of blokes with long hair.

I'll have to consider that one but I'm stuck on non male batters banging balls all over the place.

I'm watching the European Cricket Championship and hear that 'batsman' is defunct, replaced by gender neutral 'batter' It was suggested that 'maiden' over and 'dolly' catch should also go in the greater good, apparently known as 'inclusivity' But .... what about the elephant on the room? .......... Ball ..... surely we cannot have the non male 'batters' playing with 'balls', that will never do.

That kind of triggered me to look up the long serving Cheston .... can't find him on the Rovers website, or Waggott for that matter. There used to be a Who's Who but that seems to be hiding at the moment. Maybe its just me struggling with the user-unfriendly piece of crap that the Rovers website is. Anyway if anyone knows where the bodies are ......

Found this. Seems things have changed a bit but still unlikely for Coventry game: https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2021/october/04/brereton-available-for-full-international-schedule/ So ......... how TF does he social distance during a game and when he scores

I thought Rovers and Chile had an arrangement whereby BB is available to play for Chile in the first 2 games then returns to UK to isolate and hence misses Coventry, and maybe the next one too. I read that somewhere. * Just watched that above video. ...... so isolation means available to play. Weird.

Playing out of position and behind Gallagher. I'd rather eat crushed glass. Magloire was condemned to failure by being selected to play and then kicked in the nuts. How to crush a player the Mowbray way.

I'm going for "move on"

Losing to a poor L1 side. Fucking useless. What is it with playing a midget as a central striker?

Yes, they were.

Dont panic dont panic early doors

Totally agree.

My Pc monitor is a bit fecked and its converting tangerine to red.

Fulham gave them their first 2 and the impetus that followed. Maatens will be out v Rovers but their striker will take some handling, big, fast, strong and worst of all ... good.

Cantona was a tool then ... and now. So was the Palace git.

Poll having a bad hair day! Deane's goal at 90 mins. When we played them 2 months earlier at Ewood Flowers was sent off after 2 minutes and Leeds scored a pen at 85 min. Also a 1-1. Yes, points went awol in those games. 28,000++ at Ewood, Waggott would mess his undies

Brockhall villagers to the rescue. The site above Ewood is presumably Council land still?

Isn't at least part of that a nature reserve/ park? Not the best site for access. First rule of town planning: Where there's money there's a way.

Luck?. Robbed of points home and away, by brown envelope Refs, to ManUre who then bottled it at West Ham. OK let's accept the luck theory and that luck evens itself out over a season leaving the rightful winner .... US. How you put Jack and Shearer down to luck is a job for the couchman.

Many thanks @m1st for the top class preview. Can you do the post match too? it will save TM coming out with ''it’s unlike our team to lose those sort of simple goals. We won’t be blaming people.'' 2-2

Yes it does. I was just desperately looking for positives.

Ignoring the Venkys intransigence for a moment this is the most positive and believable post I've read on this thread in the past 2 days.

So he could bring on a similar in style but no where near as good loan player. Mowbray the ring kisser.
