There's a lingering resentment from certain people in the media towards Jack Walker to this day. It's also the same with certain high profile fanbases such as the Salford red devil scum who have been instrumental in creating the current environment where ambition is to be punished. Of course this hasn't done them much good recently largely through their own incompetence and customary arrogance. How can you resent someone so committed that he apologises for being unable to attend while fighting cancer? This question needs to be asked with relentless frequency and vitriol until they are forced to acknowledge it. Of course what needs to be done is never done. You would think after 20 years I had learned my lesson (and for the most part I have which is why you rarely hear from me) but stubbornness is both a positive and a negative. Of course with Venkys it's very much the latter. There is of course the other question...what next? In my opinion you need to capitalise on what could be a growing trend. High profile celebrity ownership which brings with it unique revenue streams. There are people out there who make Reynolds and Mcelhenny look like d-listers. Some of them might be interested in following them into football at a club with vastly superior historical success. There's also the question of Venkys saving face and a big part of that could be who they sell to.

If someone set themselves on fire on the pitch all they would do is moan about missing the game. People that like are not worth it. What Jack did wasn't worth it. That's what he would say if he had to listen to people like that. How could you not?

They are beyond redemption. Of course you know because we discussed it but Howard was strutting around the statue as recently as August. A few of you also know (for a brief period until I had it removed) the first picture that came up under Jack Walker on Google was a picture of Howard in front of the statue. You couldn't even see the top half of the statue. Sickening. The only things that could have summed it up more would have been if he was carrying a bag of money and an axe. Do people think their profits ended with the sale? Northcote were happy to do business with the club until Matthewman sold. What else went on behind closed doors? I fully believe they are close friends with Pasha and have other friends who were instrumental in the takeover and gained power (and money) in the aftermath. They might not seek the former but the only thing they care about is the latter.

43 and 25 any better than their names suggest?

Probably blame Jack for not building a roof.

Does not help either when the pitch sustains damage from exposure to poisonous toxins.

Is there any point reacting at this point to a dying football club? Especially after reading Howard Walker was on the pitch just last month albeit with some minor criticism on Facebook. Then there's the disgusting Totally Wicked episode. The club and in some cases it's former personnel just sink lower and lower. I'm increasingly of the feeling that it would have been better had Man United snatched the title away at the end. Or better yet if Jack just hadn't bought the club at all. The only consolation is that as a non-believer in the afterlife I don't really believe he's aware of it. Every second I spend on here (which isn't much) is a waste of my time. Enough is enough. Is that something we can agree on?

At least they don't share his name.

Amorim trying to deflect blame to his technical director (apparently not allowed to say his name) recently in the usual backstabbing that goes on at that club. Jack Walker never behaved like that hopefully he will get what he deserves soon.

Strange to see Man United and Arsenal fixture on the opening day. I guess that sums up the lack of league titles for both of them recently and only one is likely to be anywhere near league title contention.

I hope nobody wore that disgusting vaping/red devil logo at his memorial and that certain people were not present.

Forest ban Neville!

Waggott's last act was to arrange 2 pre-season games at Ewood. Foggia and America De Cali.

Utter disregard for Jack Walker's death from lung cancer. Slapping a red devil on the kit. Anything else is an irrelevance in comparison.

They need someone to blame. How long until Whorecox takes the fall. Lancashire Telegraph hiring?

Arsenal hand Amorim his first defeat and hopefully will also deprive them of the FA Cup at the first hurdle. No shortage of goals in the PL tonight that's for sure.

For a Championship level club it's not even beyond the scope of realism. Hell a league 2 club reached a domestic final not too long ago. Not to mention for some clubs it may be their only real chance of a honour or the only thing they will win (besides a lower league title, promotion or competitions for lower league clubs) in living memory. Of course because of Jack Walker (who was unfit in the eyes of that idiot who owns Accrington) that isn't the case for many people on here.

Plymouth would have a better chance staying up if they appointed Steve Kean than keeping Rooney. That's how useless he is. Another humiliation for him today and of course none of it will be his fault. Poor Plymouth but they have brought it on themselves. No wonder they beat you a few weeks back they probably got an adrenaline boost knowing they wouldn't have to listen to the idiot on touchline at their next game after being sent off. I don't know why Lampard gets so much abuse it was the same as a player. He always seems to get a bit of disrespect. Of course Rooney has had his detractors too (mainly from being a thick thug) but how anyone can mock Lampard's managerial abilities and defend him is bizarre.

Well it exists now.

Another key word should be despivification though obviously it's not a step they have ever taken.

Seen a few digs at Haaland (3 goals yesterday) for not playing in Euros as if it's his fault. It's pretty clear that he carries that team as much as he can and if they still can't qualify with him they must not be very good! Just some nasty pundits and certain elements of media with an agenda. If he played for San Marino they would probably blame him. Watched Italy V France last night but judging by the scoreline Tuchel must be very pleased with what he saw.

I've only ever been to one boxing card. It was for the short lived Probellum at Sheffield Arena 2 years ago but violence for the sake of violence isn't the main draw for me. It's personality (Tyson in this case and he's always been somewhat of a freak show just an extremely funny one)) but the prices for top level boxing are crazy. Maybe that probellum one is still on YouTube and separate footage of a strange crowd incident they cut out which disrupted one of the preliminaries. It's not that uncommon at boxing events apparently for fighting to take place far more common than football in this country at least. Tyson said he almost died a few months ago too so it's no wonder he got tired. I did see some of the women's match after putting Netflix on and that impressed me. Just a shame women's wrestling bores me to death. Speaking of Netflix apparently they had issues but it only froze once for me once before Tyson's fight and then it was fine after that. Can't really comment on the pundits because it was treated as a celebrity deal. Ranallo I was familiar with from wrestling thought he was OK.

Tyson gets "too real" and talks of death "Too real" apparently. For not telling a fairy story? The truth hurts sometimes. Interview Mike Tyson and what you see is what you get.

How much of that went in Howard Walker's pocket for his "special appearance?"
