https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jan/21/paul-pogba-pace-power-rethink-bame-coverage You can't say pace and power anymore...........apparently. Do try and keep up with the rules and regulations. ?

Now that's an interesting stance. How so? I mean Ole is a likable fella. Is it the comeback story? Phoenix from the ashes and all that. Or is it just like most of rest of country? You hate Mourinho?

In the current climate where even half decent players are going 15+ million, you wouldn't be concerned about someone coming sniffing for a bargain? I would wholeheartedly agree with your sentiment if he was 30 and over. But he's 27, which changes the scenario for me.

Then risk losing him to another club that will sign him up.

I'll be watching. Sat in a yellow top, my pet canary beside me, chowing down on one of Delias meals. ?

Sounds like this is written about a different player. Crazy how players can perform so differently from club to club. Hope we sign him onto a few years contract. Still a good age.

Good comeback win away from home. Saw you one down and figured it was the start of your wobble. Norwich, Boro, and Swansea next tho. Is this the time we start to see the familiar bottle job? ?

And I'd say MLS is around Championship level, if not a bit below it. So, seems a strange one.

Because he's on a spying mission. Bielsa is worried about the mighty Rovers surging up the table and meeting them in the playoffs after their inevitable late season plummet. They leave no stone unturned you know. Now everyone, keep shtum, don't give him any information. And for God's sake no-one mention our secret weapon Big Ben. An asset we've kept so secret up to now that I don't think he even knows he's a footballer yet. ?

You make a very valid point.

Whatever you say about BB's football prowess, he's absolutely smashing the number of thread pages to minutes on pitch ratio. Has any Rovers player spent so little time on the field and been talked about so much. Maybe Vince Grella should hand his crown over like they do on I'm a Celeb.

? 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?
