Leonard Venkhater

Interesting.. I think that the very act of giving back word to Warnock and Jepson, in order to install Coyle actually typifies the Venky's dire model.

Every team seems more fluid and fluent than our disjointed team of crabs and backpassers.....

Unbelievably soft goal! How many times have we felt that soul destroying sensation , watching Rovers-even this season? No signs of resolution in God knows how long. Sick of the mind numbing predictability. The three of us in front of our TV uttered a collective-in unison-"Fck 0ff!"..........(again)

"Venky's said" "Gove promised"...hahahahaha...

But I know..I know...and I am under no illusions. Given all the unsatisfactory crap with the squad, this loan deal helps a little-if only in the short term

Not quite nothing...It allows time for a) Ayala to recover, b) Lenihan's (inevitable)time out injured.....and c)time to review Warton's progress in the next window?

We have been saying the same re Sherwood...but Paul Shepstone? Harsh with a long memory lol

If....only

Kipling!

A season ending fixture...another one?

Opinions, eh...I thought Emnes was..well...underwhelming...

February makes me shiver. Mowbray's men will not deliver...

This is the longest period in my lifetime, where we haven't even mustered a challenge... ..and that includes a period with four consecutive years in the Third..

Hypothetical because we're miles away...but you can do wonders, just with the proceeds of one season....

The devil has the best music!

But our Mr Biro styles himself on the other Elvis..But you know I kept the family bible lol

It irks me , but I think "Blue is the Colour"and "Marching on Together" are the best

Oh, Mama loved the roses. She grew' em in the yard...lol

At the time, I read and re-read the Thrird Division title section...Chesterfield at home will never leave me... "Metcalfe, imperturbable as a garden gnome....years of penal servitude...diminishing fast"...

I was one of the last to exit the away end at Selhurst Park after that play off final.We were just standing there in shock and disappointment. I happened to see a forlorn Rovers banner, discarded over one of the standing rails. I could not just leave it in that den of iniquity. I folded it up-not unlike the American soldiers do to with the stars and stripes at the graveside.(Too much TV or what!) I had it for years...cue Frankie Howerd..."silly old fool!" It even survived an attempted burglary and house move ...before my wife ...threw it out.

We always thought of it as Allardyce and Shearer!

Saw a great piece of graffiti on a bog wall once.. " Knowledge is knowing Frankenstein is not the monster. Wisdom is knowing that he is.."

I think your disenchantment comes through in your recent posts. I never had Sky in the house and I no longer watch MOD...Premier League greed sickens me and that little wheeze of an attempted power grab was just embarrassing. As for the EFL, how can they pretend to believe in FFP, when their TV deal allows for certain teams to be televised all the time as others hardly feature.. The only point I would challenge is the implication that cheating is a new thing. Players have always cheated. Indeed, one of my favourite memories is Rochdale away, when our players attempted to collude, when the ref nullified a good Rochdale goal after our fans had fished the ball from the back netting and thrown it up into the away fans. MGP at Newcastle, anyone? Martin Olsen at Burnley ?

I think we are at the stage of it being enough, just to get his wages off the books/paid for...
