I'm back on the Lidl lager. Copious amounts.

What's everyone drinking? FYI I've given up on the Lidl lager and moved on to home made sloe gin. By the time this horrorshow is over I fully expect to be on the meths....

Just looked it up on youtube... In the photo of the band on there, I'll swear it's Nigel Farage at the back! Always wondered what he did before he became a professional twat.

Let's not forget that the arsehole Mackenzie was editor of the Sun when they published the infamous 'The Truth' headline about Liverpool fans after Hillsborough, urinating on the dead and picking their pockets. An utter, utter pathetic excuse for a man.

He'd have been in his element at Bramall Lane as they were still playing county cricket there then. Speaking of BL, an old geezer (ie a bit older than me) I know from my local and a big cricket man told me he saw Don Bradman play at the Lane for the Aussies V Yorkshire. Talk about legends...

No, it will be "I'm on a journey....the greatest journey of all"

I'm torn between this and the 75 promotion-era kit, with the vee collar insert at the front. I always think a slight touch of red really sets off the blue and white.

I'm currently toasting our latest shit-show with a cheeky little Perlenbacher pilsner from my local wine merchant Lidl & Co. £2.99 for a pack of four. A very appropriate pairing, I think.....

England are doing well in the First Test, though. Let's look on the bright side!

Raya just dropped a clanger at Boro

I think the Wheatsheaf was Ken Pilling's pub on Mincing Lane. I'm pretty sure the one you are thinking of was the George (at the bottom of Mincing Lane, where it joined Darwen Street). I looked it up in a 1951 Street directory of Blackburn and surrounding area which I inherited from an uncle of mine. Great book, has every address and lists occupant and their occupation. Anyone want to know who lived in their house in 1951, just give me a dm. Please form an orderly queue, however.

I think so, but not sure. I'd like it to be because one of the Rovers -mad mates I used to go to Ewood with was Neil Wilkinson's cousin and I have very fond memories of him shouting 'Come on our Neil!' every time he got near the ball.

I think that may be Laurie Calloway rather than Mulvaney, and Neil Wilkinson instead of Billy Wilson. I'm sure neither DM nor BW played at the same time as Sir Roger.

Was it the George Hotel? A Thwaites pub, if memory serves.

Just heard a bit of commentary on the BBC about St Mirren scoring a second against Celtic. I picked out the words 'Duffy' and 'shocker'

I went to the Rovers end-of-season knees-up/awards do at the end of the 1975 Championship season. Don Martin got player of the season.

I once took a mate from London to Blackburn Yates's and said you have to try this Aussy white wine. He had a dock and said 'Well, it may be Australian, and it may be white, but I don't think it's wine."

Somebody else on here must have been at the David Bowie gig at KGH , after Aladdin Sane came out? Fantastic - as we all agreed in the Vulcan afterwards. I'd seen him on the legendary 'Ziggy' tour at Preston Guildhall the year before.

I saw the Four Pennies at KGH circa 1963 when they had their big hit, 'Juliet'. I suppose because of that, and the home town connection, they were top of the bill. One of the support acts was a really good band who wore red hunting jackets at the time..... The Kinks! Whatever happened to them? Also on the bill: Herman's Hermits and the Stylos.

I briefly worked on Blackburn station back in the early seventies and on one particular shift one of my jobs was to wash down that display case. Also used to wind up that big clock on the right. Thanks for the memories!

Are we back to being a great team now? How few points are we off the top six??? I'm off to start cooking the tea.

Sadly, not best-sellers.....

Perhaps we could consider impeaching him?

It's been a bloody long night though.

If you can keep your job when all around are losings theirs...... Then one day you'll be a Kentaro client, my son!
