The Arsenal game I'm referring to was a Cup game?

That was about 13-14 months later then....and Michael Appleton was manager. Can't give Kean the credit for that one.

You're right but the 2 games were close together?

We actually played Arsenal a month later away and lost 7-1

SWBy my calculations (and I have been drinking), we've scored 13 goals in our last 13 games of the season.

He's scored 10 of them and got 1 assist.

Absolutely ridiculous.

And Arsenal---in successive games!! 🤢

That didn't happen. 

I can't remember a Rovers player single handedly carrying a team like he has this season.

If you'd have told me at the start of the season he would score 33 goals this season - top scorer in the Championship and FA Cup - in a team that avoided relegation on the last day of the season - I'd have laughed in your face.

The man has been sensational. If he choses to take a chance in the Premier League this summer, then good luck to him. It'd take some of the shine off if he went to another Championship club or the likes of Celtic, but I'd not begrudge him taking a final pay day and the chance of Premier League football if he choses to.

I've found it hard to like many Rovers players in the last 15 or so years. Dack was good but this lad is something else.

Genuinely seems to enjoy playing here, never stops running and a real character.

Matt Elliott (I think) compared him with Craig Bellamy today. I think that's a fair comparison (especially his goals today) and that's huge praise indeed.

"In the first half we were well in the game and bounced back from an early goal and showed great character"

Does he get a bonus for saying 'great character' in every post-match interview?

Bellend.

Adam Wharton, perhaps the brightest of the hugely promising generation brought through by Tony Mowbray at Blackburn.

Not sure how much praise Mowbray deserves for this one.

When I first heard this story on the radio I thought JDT had really gone off the rails since his departure. 

Changed my stance.

I'm definitely in the 'Eustace Out' camp.

Seen enough already. 

This is a belter.....

"Leo came in and I thought was very good tonight"

"He had very limited things to do, just the goal probably"

Picture the scene.

It's late on in a game you need to win. Your main striker is not only not much of a goal threat but he's also playing poorly. 

You look across the bench and see a fourth division German striker grinning at you... desperate to get on.

You have an idea. Let's put the American lad we signed on a permanent deal on transfer deadline day. Then you remember that we cancelled the deal so we could get him on loan instead. Then you remember we forgot how to complete a transfer. Again. 

Dilan, you're on.

Eustace for all his faults has scraped seven points from seven games.

4 points from 6 games.

Carter, A. Wharton and Rankin-Costello will get poached. 

Not sure how to break it to you about A. Wharton. 

Biting my tongue at this stage as I'll look ridiculous if he turns it round....

But far from impressed so far.

That would be a first in his case.

It's Wednesday tomorrow! She needs to get on with it. 

Livramento 32mG

Gordon 45m

Scott Wharton has been sensational 

Koumetio feels like we are playing Chris Samba at left back.

If Samba was hammered.

Trying to look at the positives.

Hughes took over a failing side and had to make us ugly and hard to beat at first before he got his own players in and put his own stamp on the side.

Only difference is that he was always going to get backed by the owners.

I'm going to watch some paint drying after this.

Liven my evening up a bit.

That's a big price watching this.

This is comically bad

Do you know what is happening with Leonard Parson?Is he injured?

I was wondering who Leonard Parson was then 😂

Philip Schofield supporting Everton tonight.

He heard their midfield was Young and Gueye.
