And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Oh, I didn't know that. Meanwhile, Bellamy's golf club antics wouldn't be good for most places of work, dressing rooms or anywhere healthy...

Huge, glass, tacky monstrosity?

Maybe, you could add Speedie? I get your implication, but I do think it is a bit more complicated than that. There is an argument for considering the impact of a player on the atmosphere and culture. I know it shouldn't just be about cosiness, but also include willingness to challenge others etc. Now I happen to know that Bellamy is supposed to be a bit of a bully. He consistently targeted Pedersen-according to Micky Gray, anyway. Bellamy's own performances for Rovers were excellent, but could his behaviour have had a negative impact on Pedersen's or others' performances? These are valid issues for a manager to consider imo.

Enjoying it, while it lasts. To be honest, I don't know what to think anymore. I don't believe all the previous criticisms about transfer windows and selections were invalid. And I can't quite shake the idea of a spoof headline:Mowbray in injury crisis saves season shock.. To be in this position with all the absentees, TM deserves huge credit. Can Samuel really be like a new signing? Can we keep our back four injury/suspension free? Is the recent Walton going to turn out to be the real one? Now I am getting flashbacks of Furphy et al circa 1972. Do I dare to believe? Even if we lose on Saturday, it will not be over. Anyway, 3 of mine will be behind the away end goal again on Saturday. We have certainly come a long way, since that desperate relegation day, when my eldest was escorted out of the Brentford home end with his protest banner-applauded by the Brentford fans!

The journey/project etc? Still a bit of a paradox. Sure, several young players are making the transition to the first team...On the other hand, we will require a significant overhaul this very summer.

Certainly a rude awakening last year!

Absolutely. Another issue arises when the same agency has significant "interest" in more than one club. There was certainly a big SEM influence at Bolton. I remember one journalist asking about the implications of two "SEM" clubs playing each other at the business end of the season, with one of them in the drop zone. The same article cited Pulis at Stoke, Coyle at Bolton and Kean at Rovers. Also, I think I am right that the mysterious Suhail-or someone with the same name-appeared on Linkedin, as an employee of SEM...

I am sure the agents get a slice of any payoff, as they do with a signing on fee-maybe even salary. There are many who believe that there was a period in this nightmare, when agents were actually joint owners. That would mean that a good proportion of apparent losses went into the pockets of "owners".

Ask Linda Blair!

We have lost more than the "floating" supporters. Off the top of my head, I can think of 8, who sat with us for years. And that is just me.

Well almost

I wonder which bits will be left out...this time.

Grammar indeed!

One of my all time favourite players. I can still see that goal v Bradford into the Darwen End...35-40 yards?

I would find your perspective very interesting.

Ah, but it is a "known known". We both know that he knows that you don't do twitter.. That is exactly why he makes his comments, where you cannot reply or challenge his slurs.

How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb?

Reckless-exactly. I just don't get it. I can't help but think other factors-darker forces even- might have been at work...

Is a dorm table, when the team is placed according to the degree to which the football sends us all to sleep?

Very well interviewed.. Great to see that it is still going-long after Sham had to try and field Bryan Hamilton's moral indignation/uproar on Radio Lancs. He railed against that 21st Century Fox front cover with the picture of the dirty toilets in the Blackburn End! The club soon fixed the toilets though lol

If the message is lack of ambition, then interest and attendances will only drop. Managed decline...

Definitely happened. We saw it..and cringed lol

My point exactly.
