Yes, a very good record. Does that make him "world class" ? 

How do we define 'world class' though Jim?

Think it's all about opinions when it comes to that. Personally I would say, yes he's world class. Most big teams in Europe will want him, his goal scoring record is better than all other players bar 2, he's consistently performing at a high level in terms of team competitions and personal performance and his all round game is excellent he doesn't 'just score goals' like a Jordan Rhodes.

England pick would be;

                    Butland

       Stones Maguire Walker

Trippier  Henderson Wilshire  Rose

                   Alli   Lallana

                     Kane

No he isn't. He's a very good striker who's had a couple of very good seasons. 

 

He's actually had four 4 very good seasons to be fair. 14/15 (21 goals in 34 games), 15/16 (25 goals in 38 games), 16/17 (29 goals in 30 games) and 17/18 (24 goals in 29 games).

Do we really need 20 million though?

How much have Cardiff spent? 

A hard working well drilled team will always do well. 

They did spend £6million on Gary Madine from Bolton in January, awful lot of money for an awful player.

Read the other day we'd sold around 2/3k for each of our group games.

Far cry from the hordes we took to Germany in '06 (though a decade of shite performances since may be another factor!)

Was the same for the Euros in Ukraine in 2012. Averaged about 4k per game, will be similar this time. Only the hardcore go to places like Ukraine and Russia, the rest don't want a smack in the face.

It's been a decent end to end game, rovers not playing bad to be fair, just a few things a couple of players need to correct.

Conway has been awful to watch.

It's a shame, he looks finished, can't even run with the ball.

Yep he should be punished for scoring against Crewe ?

Are you watching mate? Have you seen how bad his build up play is, it's terrible, if he scores fair play to the lad, and he does have a goal or two in him at this level, but his hold up play and first touch are abysmal

Graham has been punished for doing newt wrong?

Samuel scored two goals last Saturday when he had a start, and a goal from the bench before that, well earned a chance 

it was against Crewe who hadn't won in about 10 games though, why did Graham deserve to be dropped, he didn't, surely mate

Why is Samuel playing? His touch is ridiculously bad. Graham far better player.

Conway looks finished.

Have you counted them? Predict in the region of 18000 for the match and a score of Blackburn 1 Burnley 7 (seven)

No, but you can easily estimate, hardly anything sold in Bburn end, and Riverside, and only 2 blocks have limited availability

Now the deadline has passed for ST holders to claim their seats, you can see how many we've sold, and the sales are very poor. Would say no more than 8k have been sold and that's being generous, going to be a real low attendance for this one.

He reminded me of that Bolton fullback that use to get a loads of stick off the Wanderers fans under Allardyce, can't think of his name. 

Nicky Hunt probably

Also saw on that article that council owned car parks around Ewood won't be open this season.

The whole operation seems to be downsizing rapidly. To be expected, I suppose, but sad all the same.

I didn't realise there was any around Ewood? Can only think of next to the travellers site, is that council owned?

Get in. It's Rovers v Burnley people, who cares what league we are in, come on you Blues.

It's divided by seed,and north and south

Didn't think it was still north and south in second, fair play mate 

Burnley, Bolton or Accy away please, probs be Reading at home or something. Or if a Prem team a crap one like Bournemouth away.

So much has gone on at the club that it's just not what the club needs. TM should be getting them in for extra training on the Sunday. It should be a starter for joining the club these days, no social media, not public stupidities, get on with your job and get this club back to where it belongs, we are paying you more than most players get paid in the division above.

He's been out on the @#/?, ditching team mates, after a defeat, that he was supposedly taken off injured in, sounds like a prick to me

The real slap in the face is that the compo we get for Mahoney will be about 10% of the pay-off Stokes gets for the remaining 2 years on his deal.

This says Mowbray wants Stokes to stay (Scottish paper) - http://www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2017/05/25/former-celtic-boss-tony-mowbray-admits-wants-keep-hibs-target-anthony-stokes-blackburn-rovers/?platform=hootsuite

EDIT - Saying that it just mentions Mowbray wanting to keep all contracted player, not much about stokes
