So apparently is Peter Beardsley and others, sign of the times IMHO where you can't tell anyone off for fear they will report.

https://www.lancs.live/news/lancashire-news/former-blackburn-rovers-star-banned-16033566 And a bully, mind you I tend to ignore those allegations which have become the norm in the pampered world of youth football.

He's still only 26, could be with us for years yet. Oh shyte.

That contract extension like others around together same time beggars belief. Rewarded for a promotion back to the same league, the same group of players got us relegated from. Mowbray also benefited in a similar way.

Talk sport... good taste... no I don't think so. The Talk sport badge should be an Arsehole.

Are you thinking of "tupped", derived from the word "Tup", like Ram, a name for an uncastrated male sheep. So being tupped or indeed rammed would cover our expectations. ?

It looks like Lenihan, Mulgrew and Rodwell will be available on Saturday. That's the, I suppose, good news. The bad news, for us, is that it looks like Tammy Abraham will be fit for Villa. I have no frigging idea how we will get on, much will depend on what videos Mowbray has been looking at and what biscuits he's munching.

Completely agree.

EFL at play. In a normal world a transfer embargo, say over a season, would be expected. The EFL have delayed, delayed and now rushed the penalty into this season hoping the timing does not produce a relegation.

Spot on. Big Club have yet to play 4 clubs who are still below them in the relegation dogfight. No fine imposed plus they can deal in the Summer window and go into next season with a clean slate. The last thing the EFL want is a relegation caused by a penalty points deduction with probable law suits to follow, hence it's 9 and not 12 points deducted. If the points deduction had been deferred until the start of next season it would have impacted negatively on transfer dealings in the summer. Only Big Club themselves can mess up this favourable treatment.

No. I had dating sites earlier today, now it's Luxemburg Times and a Kitchen design out fit. Actually just gone back to singles dating. None of the above bear any relation to my search history. The ads are typical clickbait. Edit: now Luxembourg and kitchens again.

My thoughts exactly. If it goes pear shaped there it's a life changing event. Dack would be safer in Spain, maybe Del Boy is his chaperon. And I don't mean IT goes pear shaped ? They both look a bit podgy faced so a good sweat will do them no harm.

42 goals conceeded in 19 away games, so we need to score 2 to have any chance of a draw. Pathetic in the extreme.

Better than the 50 plus 3 stray dogs and countless seagulls they were getting under the convict.

Credit to you for admitting it.

I can't help but think Rodwell is just a fair weather friend. I think Dacks level is with us in the Championship, I doubt he would go for much more than £5 mil anyway.

Rothwell either can't or won't be assimilated into a Mowbraybot. The difficulty arrives when Rothwell gets on the pitch and looks a player, Mowbray is then reduced to slagging him off in public, and those who have seen him play with their own "eyes" find this a bit odd. I hope Rothwell retains his flair even if it means he has to move to a more enlightened manager.

In just a single interview Mowbray has a childish pop at Rothwell and publically lets it be known that Mulgrew is going nowhere, near Scotland. Raya has already been a target for Mowbrays public temper tantrums. Just how closely knit is the dressing room.

Neither do you, yet still seem to claim it as some sort of defence. I also see those who claim that the fee is nowhere near the £7 million, that's millions!, often quoted. Not that they have a clue either.

That will be at Cook's behest. Will this come under the "can't profit by cheating" rule, the one Dwight Gayle was recently banned under for "successful deception of a match official"

Tony: "Elliott says we got our selection, formation and tactics spot on tonight and said it's my turn next"

The moral of this story is don't ducking lose it again.

What a difference a win makes. Delighted Dack scored. Showed great ball control at times. Joe should have buried the chance he created. A clean sheet too. Happy.

Ask Sunderland.

Like what? Genuine question, name one amazing thing.
