I'd suggest the song you're refering to could be classed as fairly racist.

No it was in Blues Bar I think the one I went to. Sounds like it's been mentioned a few times though.

I didn't think he was that bad, but I did go to an evening with Flitcroft and Jansen at Ewood once and these questions always come up about the best player they've ever played with. The usual names always get a mention - Jansen, Duff and Tugay. They were also asked who the worst player was, and while they wouldn't 'directly' answer, they said if you'd had a bad game/training session, it was referred to as 'having a Grabbi'.

You get a mention on their forum Tomphil ? https://www.pne-online.net/forum/index.php?threads/and-they-say-we-are-obsessed-with-them.3429092/

Eh? It's not like he's new to the English game.

https://www.thefightingcock.co.uk/forum/threads/sigurdsson-or-holtby.10952/ Poll by Spurs fans in 2014 - where 89.6% of people in the poll rated Holtby as better than Sigurdsson. One has since been involved in a £40m transfer, the other is on a free, but he must have something about him.

When you read the comments, they are praising his short distribution. He seems to fit in well with their passing style.

https://www.griffinpark.org/forums/showthread.php?t=132179&page=4 Thought I'd have a look at how he was getting on at Brentford. Seems to have won their fans over, a few comments below from the thread: Reminds me a bit of Ederson at city. I like him, he’s definite and comes for everything Said he’d be good. Always looking to play quick. Solid again. excellent today Definite improvement, he takes control of situations that Bentley would have left to the defenders. Very, very good performance.. Great save second half ........... very good again........... Watched him warming up today. Outstanding shot stopper. Good in the air too. Really rate him! Incredibly quick and decisive. That may lead to a howler or two but, once he really gets an understanding with the centre backs, I think he's going to be superb. Love this guy already. Very impressed. He is a massive plus Looks an excellent acquisition to me Hes looking like a great signing. Hes very quick and decisive off his line. He is very good isn't he. Exceptional keeper. ?? He's a very good footballer. And a commanding keeper so far, especially for one lacking a little in height. Breeding confidence amongst those in front of him. Looks an excellent signing. Really confident on the ball and the defenders seem to have confidence in him too. We played out v well at times today. Also like the way he catches crosses but didn’t have a lot else to do today!! I really like him though. His distribution is the best I’ve ever seen. He’s good isn’t he. Terrific footballer #ping He’s been superb in our league games.Comes for everything and excellent distribution, great signing Been superb so far. Possible game changing signing. Seems to read the game very well, has confidence and presence and his distribution is excellent. Just seems safe and reliable, He made one of his few saves towards the end of the game. I’m not quite sure how he did it and it’s not on the Highlights, but it looked li like a one handed claim for the ball a bit like Pat Jennings used to do. It was another bit of class. His cross claiming has been impressive so far. Very happy and seems an upgrade to me.. Agree. It's been brilliant. Can't remember anyone better in the last 25 years But his positive attitude and confidence in owning the area is a massive difference this year. Interesting the amount of people claiming how he 'owns the area' and is very commanding. With the right coaching, and some experience (he's still very young for a keeper), he's going to be a very, very good keeper. Can't help but feel we've made a mistake selling him.

Summer Transfer Window 2019

It's a good job the deal went through or the headline could have been 'TOSIN OFF' -

Having said that, I'm pretty sure Gary Pallister was described as Bambi on ice in his early days, and he turned out alright. -
Summer Transfer Window 2019
LeftWinger replied to Neal's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Asked a City fan I know for his opinion on Adarabioyo. He described him as stylish but a bit lightweight for a bean pole. Maybe that will work alongside Lenihan, but I would like to see a nasty centre half in the squad as well. -
Is he an improvement on what we have in the squad currently? Definitely. Is he better than Harrison Reed? Probably not. So whilst I think it is a decent addition, it doesn't actually make us any stronger than last year. I think the message from Southampton was basically not to even ask about a price for Reed.

I'll definitely be buying this - my all-time favourite Rover. I was watching the goals from the 00/01 season just yesterday, and you forget how good he was. I know a lot of players who played around that era regard Jansen and Tugay as the two most skillful players they ever played with. I always remember watching his debut against Spurs next to my dad. I was quite excited by him already, before my dad commented that he just kept beating a man, then going back to dribble past him again. He wasn't as impressed by him as I was. Then just after he'd made the comment, Jansen flicked the ball up, spun Sol Campbell and cracked the ball into the bottom corner.

Summer Transfer Window 2019
LeftWinger replied to Neal's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Maybe a couple of full backs and a couple of wingers as well -
I did think he would be a good addition at relatively low risk. Definitely should give him a contract as I don't think he would be holding out for massive money.

It was me that edited his Wikipedia page ?

I think Rovers have had 4 genuinely World Class players in my 25 years watching them. 1) Shearer 2) Duff 3) Friedel 4) Tugay
-
Not sure what game you were watching - but we were much worse in the second half against Preston than the first. First 10 minutes aside, we were on top in the first half. Second half was an absolute shambles. The stats would back that up as well: First Half Possession: PNE 37%; Rovers 63% Goal Attempts: PNE 4; Rovers 7 Corner Kicks: PNE 2; Rovers 4 Keeper Saves: PNE 4; Rovers 0 Completed Passes: PNE 96; Rovers 189 Second Half Possession: PNE 49%; Rovers 51% Goal Attempts: PNE 11; Rovers 2 Corner Kicks: PNE 2; Rovers 1 Keeper Saves: PNE 1; Rovers 1 Completed Passes: Pne 135; Rovers 146

Wigan V ROVERS 28/11/18
LeftWinger replied to blueboy3333's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Added to that, the players don't seem to adapt their style when Graham isn't on the pitch. Lenihan kept firing long aimless balls forward in the first half on Saturday. -
Just looked at buying online and you can only purchase in Block L (as suggested by Den). They seem to be selling row 4 at the moment. I'm assuming they sell from the front to the back? I don't want to sit that low down, so I'm hanging on a bit before ordering mine.
