? You would love to see it would you?! Hmmmm. Seems we have our first suspect. I shall update the plod immediately. Prepare for a visit my friend. ? (Oh, and forget the 2 Mercedes that have disappeared, you concentrate on the important stuff like computer game progression!)

Worsley I think it says. With his girlfriend Olivia. It's obviously easy for some to say well he's rich enough and it's all insured etc. But there's nothing worse than having your home invaded and violated. And all whilst your playing live on TV. Was it pre-planned for that reason? Happened to a few Liverpool players a few years back I think when they were on tv.

News coming out Dack had his house robbed during the match last night. Took a couple of cars and laptops etc. Bad night all round.

3 Ipswich, GK in there aswell. Great that we're getting them just as they go through a purple patch.

Naughty, naughty. This is a family friendly board remember. ?

Way to gee everyone up on match day BS! Perhaps you'd like to remind me of MGP's semi final header at Old Trafford, or a colonoscopy I once had!

Well we're the only 2 teams in the Champ who's goal columns match exactly. 33 scored, 41 conceded. Therefore, it a nailed on score draw. In the coupon it goes. Great odds. Fill your boots Mercer, that wine ain't gonna buy itself!

Congrats! You sound so proud too. Well done you lot. ? They won't be waiting long. We're in the 2nd half of season now, where your boys lose their bottle big-time. It's like groundhog day. Yet for some reason you're all thinking this time will be "different". Good luck with that! You're like a partner in an abusive relationship. Always hoping for the best, but ultimately ending up a bloody, crumpled heap at the bottom of the stairs each time. Whilst meekly mumbling "I thought you'd changed!" Let's see if u have the balls to come on here in a few months , once you've slid down to being your usual "also rans". I highly doubt we'll hear from u again then.

What's enormous though? It's all relative right. People keep talking like we're in a position to turn down tens of millions. (Based on statements from the club admittedly) But since Phil Jones we've sold one player over 10 million in Rhodes isn't it. I just think buying a player for 750k and selling him a few years later for 15 million is Venkys wet dream.

I have to laugh, otherwise I'll cry, and it's not a good look for the family at Xmas.

Was that goaline technology? The ref looked at his watch, then gave the goal.

Very proud of our fans for that. Touch of class. Compare Newcastle who apparently incessantly booed Mitrovic today. Wait, you froze him out, loaned him a league below, so he joined that club. Wtf are you booing him for?! Cretins.

My daughter was born at about half time during the match in 2014. (1-0, Marshall). Don't think the midwives were too impressed when they put the new born in one arm, while I had my phone in the other checking the score. Have always been quite impressed that my only child came into this world during a Rovers win. Cos during that period the odds if that happening were slim. For that nostalgic, emotional reasoning I'm going for another tight win today. 1-0 or 2-1.

Well I hope your right on all that, I really do. I just have a feeling it's time. Thing is 20 mill is actually a bargain nowadays for a Prem club to gamble on a player that might be a gem. With all the hype he's generated I can't see how at least a couple of clubs won't give it a crack. And he seems to be still termed as young, but he's 25 in a few weeks. The clock's ticking, he deserves a go at the top level. And are any of us confident of Rovers getting there in next 18 months?

I'm already counting him as gone. Surely anything 15 mill upwards and the owners/club would want to sell, and he'd couldn't turn down his first oppurtunity to play in the Prem. And I wouldn't blame either of them. We need the money badly. And without him I reckon we'd still be languishing in League 1. So as gutted as I would be, and I do think it would de-rail our season, I've accepted it as an inevitability. If we manage to keep him till end of season it would be a Brucie Bonus.

That's bad news for us then. When a West Ham bid comes in January, he'll be keen to move to the area.

I remember it was fairly tight all season between us, so must have been that 97/98 year. Figures really, I'm a dab hand at losing close season long bets. Last one was with a Toon mate that they wouldn't win the Championship. Was winning that up till the 89th min of the 46th game when Brighton let a 10 man Villa equalise. (Damn you Grealish!) This season is us versus Wigan for highest position. Looking good so far, but I'm pretty worried about their new owners splashing some cash in January.

All sounds pretty fair to me. Good luck for season anyway. Actually don't mind u lot after living there for 5 years. My housemate at Uni was Leeds too. Back when we were battling each other late 90's for top 6 in Prem. We bet each other for highest position. Genuinely can't remember who won. And like us now you've done the drop to League 1, and I do love a comeback. Wouldn't mind seeing u back up the top league. See, I'm one of the few that don't hate u. ? You do realise you're viewing figures are so good on Sky cos everyone is tuning in to watch you lose right. ?

? You normally have to cast the net a bit wider to catch any whoppers on here. But sod it, I'm feeling obliging and don't want your efforts being in vain. So, in reply to you giving yourself a big pat on the back: https://www.worldfootball.net/attendance/eng-championship-2016-2017/1/ 2 seasons ago you were 5th in home league attendance. And of that list the most comparable to yourselves is Newcastle (a one team city of similarish size) , and they almost double your "box office" levels. So I'd maybe lay off labeling yourself a big club some 18 months after Brighton, Derby, and Sheff Wed were all matching you. Good luck with it all though! Maybe some success on the pitch will help get you back to a decent level in English football for first time in decades. ?

Not to jump down your throat, but that sentence typifies the issue. Do you think he organised it?! No, the FA did and invited him back. What's he gonna do? What, you want me to come back and honour me for my service to England football - piss off, I've got better things to do! Everyone would have gone even more mental then. Oh look at Rooney, thinks he's above England now. Can't even be bothered getting on a plane to come and be honoured. See, always said he was an ungrateful git. The boy literally can't win sometimes no matter what he does. I wouldn't want his life for anything, barring the bank balance obviously.

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/leeds-united-sky-sports-earnings-14548856.amp 'Only 100k", or words to that effect, is a strange one, even in the crazy financial world of football. So, Leeds get 760k in a season from extra TV matches. Last time we were in Champ think we had a grand total of 2 matches on. If one was home, one away (guess, can't be bothered looking), then that's £110k for us. And we're supposed to agree paying one club in the same division 7 times more than another = financial fair play. The disparity might not seem like much to some people, but for many of the bottom half clubs that difference would be a new player. Hell, it's almost a Bradley Dack.

Ok, you don't need to shout. It bemuses me I must say. For years people have slagged friendlies, said what a waste if time they are, and that they need scrapped. Then, one unpopular ex player is earmarked for a send off, and everyone does a promt u-turn. Now, friendlies are some hallowed event, and it's sacrilege and an insult to the badge for our record outfield cap holder and goal scorer to don the shirt again. It doesn't add up, so there's definitely some hidden agendas amongst it all.

Would everyone still be getting worked up about this if it was Beckham or Lampard having this done (when they were still playing in MLS)? I do wonder how much of the adverse reaction is more to do with the charachter involved rather than the action itself.

Did you not get the memo. Jason Lowe left the club.

None of those words are filling me with confidence.
