It's gonna be goals, goals, goals. Our 5 matches against them this century have seen 26 goals scored. Despite the fact that Posh have only scored in one of their last 5 away matches, (and that was against fellow relegation spotters Hull), we all know they'll notch against us. Would love to say it will be a comfortable 3-1 win, but I'm thinking more a 3-2 win with a very nervy last 10 mins. We never do it easy.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.joe.co.uk/amp/sport/cricketer-azeem-rafiq-drink-red-wine-as-a-15-year-old-300338 Thanks that has helped clear it up. I see it in this article too. I'm just not happy with religion being injected into this unnecessarily, when it sidelines the real issues. I notice he doesn't seem to mention it at all in his testimony. The chair does though: “15 and you were a Muslim?” replied the DCMS chair once again. And most telling is the final comment in the article from AR: “Like I said, I regret that massively but again, it has no bearings on the things that I was called." Yeah, what he was called. The elephant washers, the Kevin's, the p word, the affect it might have had on his career, and just as importantly, on his general life and mental health. As I'm typing this I'm watching a recording of the Last Leg, and I note they cover the wine incident without mentioning his religion at all. Adam Hills: "That is not banter. Standing around whilst stuff like that happens and not calling anyone out on it is not ok." 👏👏 Yeah, regardless of what idol you worship. Bravo to them. They always get it right.

Why do you 'hope' that? Quite an odd turn of phrase that. No, I would never do that to anyone regardless of their ethnicity. Kind of cuts out the middle man right, just being a decent human being. (And why have you even brought ethnicity into it, we were on religion a minute ago. Leaping from Muslim to Asian and back to Muslim in 3 sentences is ignorant beyond belief) Why? Because IF it turns out Azeem Rafiq is a regular drinker of alcohol, his religion has absolutely no bearing on the original story of the wine. UNLESS the truth turns out to be that it was that particular incident that has led him down that path in his life. But that's a hell of a leap at this stage.

This story gets more and more confusing by the day. Genuinely don't know what to believe anymore. But modern life is a bit like that now isn't it. Difficult to wade through the BS and get to the truth. He allegedly is also a big gambler that has amassed rather large debts. None of this changes the serious issues of the way he has been treated over his career. Just you, and others, seem to be heavily focusing on the Muslim aspect. Would it be ok if a Christian 15 year old was pinned down and force fed wine? 🤔 If I had a teenage child have that happen to them I'd be raging. Alcohol is one of the most dangerous intoxicants in modern society imo. Far moreso than the ridiculously illegal marijuana.

Talksport whilst having my lunch: Jim White: "After travelling around the World, and doing various different manager's jobs, Steve Kean has decided Academy football is the one for him." Trevor Sinclair: "Yeah, it's really refreshing Jim to see a manager step down and get involved in the important Academy structure." 😂😂😂 Aye, that's what's happened lads. SK has definitely 'chosen' to come back the UK and go in at that level of football. These lot are too much. I thought it would make me madder, but tbh their level of bullshittery is just making me chuckle. Special talent for applying lipstick to a pig.

Nah, it was a dig at Jackanory's profile. Fortress Ewood is the one and only true supporter. The rest are pretenders. Get with the program. Just need another 20k like him and we're laughing. I think that's the message.

Weak 2nd half, Southgate out!!

So let's go for the record to show the farce up for what it is. Was 2008 qualification that Germany beat them 13-0. Let's go for 14/15 here, get the record, and maybe force FIFA to have a rethink.

Fantastic sportsmanship. 👏

Fair play to NZ, stunning batting this. I'm not even going to blame the bowlers, just World class from the opposition.

Cheeky little start this. Ramping up the pressure early doors. Great stuff.

Yep, happy with that. Batters done their job, bowlers need to step up now. Either way, should be fun entertainment this. Glad I've got rest of day off to enjoy. C'mon England!

Ha, you had me searching for a NZ total as had just got in from work and didn't know what time it started. Anyway, Moeen heard me and has turned up with a decent knock. 👏 Need 165+ here tho to put pressure on them.

??? England batting first. 54-2, Buttler just gone reverse sweeping. Big 3 or 4 overs here. 9 overs gone. C'mon Moeen Ali, let's have some vintage tonking here from you. 🤞

“Jack and I were emailing each other prior to January 6 and I warned him that his platform was allowing a coup to be staged,” Harry told host Steven Levy on Tuesday. “That email was sent the day before, then it happened I have not heard from him since.” I hope Harry really does have the emails to back this up to the extent he claims. I would love to see Twitter take a beating. Slightly sceptical though, Harry seems somewhat imaginative in recent times.

Yeah, I agree DE, I meant more damage limitation if I was advising him. Whack that statement out and most of us would have begrudgingly shuffled off to get on with our lives, muttering under our breaths. Instead, what seems to have happened is: "Oh no, the fans of the club that's paid me millions of pounds and supported me through not 1 but 2 devastating injuries are really mad at me. What should I do?" "Hmmm, I'm thinking maybe double down on it and call them all idiots that don't understand things." "Ok, hold my beer!"

See, that just confuses me even more with Dack. Why gob off, call someone a wally, agree people need to grow up, and then retract it. Just stick to your convictions if you think it's an ok thing to do. All just very odd. It was very easily sorted: "I'm not 'liking' the result, just congratulating an old pal that's doing well. The squad is gutted about the match, and personally, I can't wait to get back on the pitch to try and put it right. C'mon Rovers, we're better than this!" Not rocket science.

Elliott and Bradley think we should grow up. 🙄 Honestly, these people live on a different planet. Imagine being paid such spectacularly large amounts of money, failing so badly at your job, and then calling everyone else out like they're the morons. I really can't compute it. I don't care that Dack wasn't on the pitch. He's part of a squad that lost 7-0. They're always telling us they win and lose together no matter who's on the teamsheet. I'd be in hiding through embarrassment.

Who is with Danny Graham in the picture? Bugging the hell out of me. Can't work out between Shearer or Freidel. Is it Shearer with him, and Freidel in picture behind?

Ha, I found it interesting Rog, tough crowd today! For obvious reasons. To think, just a few months ago that would read 61 international goals to ZERO. Hell of a difference. As you've said, none of it excuses that shambles last night, but does highlight the disparity of where we're at. And we're due to lose a handful of our better players soon, how low are those stats going to be then!

Regardless by fan emotion, and what we all think, if they don't sack him now it's one of the worst business decisions ever. You'd have to actively want the business to fail to allow this to lumber on any longer.

Was a scared challenge that. Bottle job. Didn't want to stick his head in.

Yeah, AC. He could have been feeding Ibrahimovic.

What, put our best header of the ball on their best header of the ball? What sort of witchcraft is that?
