You never know, we may even blow it all on another one "for the future" lol

Thanks. I have watched it a few times now. Commentary very fair. They couldn't have complained if we had scored 6 or 7. It looks like we did get 5 anyway. On another set of highlights Bannon seems to have a bit of a go at Raya, immediately after his/Raya's goal. A bit nasty , I thought. Still wondering where the previous derby no-shows came from!

He had a good sense of humour apparently ....of all the justifications in all of the clubs in all of the world, why....

Thanks. I was away. I can't bring myself to watch it...maybe in a few weeks...maybe never. The texts I was getting from my son in London told me all I need to know. The phrase "playing like a fcking Coyle team" does nothing for your spirits on a nightmare journey on a shit, privatised circus rail service!

What a difference from the West Brom game! At the same time, I can't fool myself. These abject performances do seem to appear every few games, usually only for one 45 minute period. I can't help wondering if something happened in the international break or if players are unhappy with TM's tactics/selections . Anyway, turn up like that for two local derbies and two limp defeats and supporter anger are the only outcomes. A mini crisis...

It is.

We could always pay Harrods prices for Poundstretcher goods...then leave them on the bench...

What?

I agree. TM does get it. I am sure of that. I heard him respond to a question at the end of last season about the fans, needing to let go of any negativity towards the owners and he said something about having too much affection for the supporters to comment on that...

Hahaha.. My bad! I should have said near death.. Only last week someone was telling me about Keeley having to lay low after the negative press for that "tackle" on Fucillo. I had never realised that Fucillo actually played the following week!

But it was quite ok for you to talk about him jettisoning Waggy lol

Me too.....Anything else would be too much to bear...

"Pledge" lol

I am sure that after his "death" Fucillo recovered in time to play in the following game?

Remember crowd favourite loanee, David Gregory, who cited his inability to work with "that man", as part of the reason he did not sign permanently...

Just to firmly and publicly exclude myself from the "Poor old Venky's were naive/just badly advised" so called consensus.... They were told on many occasions and arrogantly refused to listen. Rather, they chose to dismiss the anxious voices of honest, decent Blackburn people and others....because it suited them to do so. ...Just saying...

Is that some kind of offence?

Well deserved too. This player is the antithesis to the likes of Murphy and Orr. A key contributor to the revival..

Not forgetting Guy of Gisbourne surely...

Yes, ,that quote certainly came back to haunt us. Our Scottish office was 99% green, so I took some stick. Our performance away at Celtic was wonderful to behold....but we just couldn't score

Good news for me. We did not want to be losing someone with his influence.

Christmas is coming...but not yet!

Any disincentive just has to be avoided, as far as I can see. I think the biggest danger is the mere fact of the negative publicity that this club really doesn't need.

How many policemen does it take to throw a suspect down the steps? None...he fell..

...and back to Mussolini!
