I'd forgotten Tony's tactical masterstroke against these a couple of years back when he went with Kasey Palmer up front. Kasey fucking Palmer.

Brilliant!

What's the carpet story?

He's also an expert in feng shhhhhui

Yep, under these circs the reason for going to watch live football is diluted to the point that it isn't remotely enticing.

Haha, get it booked off, give them fookers nothing!!

Schhhteve McClaren appointed advisor to the board at Derby.

No idea mate, never seen him play. If he's a big unit maybe he's more suited to CB. Is he left-footed?

A thing of beauty!

When he was first raved about a couple of years back I'm sure it was as a left-back. Seems he's now seen as a CB.

If Allardyce is bored of relaxing and there are no jobs on offer elsewhere then it's Hobson's Choice. Anyway, here's Big Sam defending his record and reputation for 5 minutes followed by 'I don't have to defend myself'

The possession stuff is completely irrelevant, and smacks of desperation. But don't worry, as always, it's jam tomorrow,

If it was near the back then probably! Although I think everyone that was there had someone skinning up behind them

I heard that name drop from here!

14 years. Jesus wept. I was in the top tier. I remember very little!

4k in Tier 1 2k in Tier 2 None in Tier 3. Blackburn will be tier 3.

Manchester United tracking Blackburn Rovers wonderkid Jake Garrett (thehardtackle.com) Been spoken highly of for a while. Lots of injuries since that article apparently but now back to fitness. Signed his first pro contract this year.

Interesting @oldjamfan1, I wouldn't argue with any of those. Like you say, all very subjective. I'd actually forgotten how good Wrighty was but watching those recent clips shows he was brilliant coming forward with the ball. Shame for Wrighty that Le Saux became available, there haven't been many better left backs than GLS. We've been lucky to have witnessed both Duff and Sellars, I'd play two left sided players just to accommodate them! Some Rovers legends in those teams.

Not a lot we can do mate, but I've mentioned a few times we are exposed down our flanks. That's the 'beauty' of 4-3-3, very little cover for our FB's (who bomb on anyway). The thinking presumably is that out attacking threat will compensate for our openness at the back. However, apart from the few teams we've hammered we are toothless up front. 6 goals in 8 games against everyone that isn't Cov, Wyc, QPR and Derby. Pretty shite really.

Holtby's back according to the LT.

It would be fun to do a player v player comparison for those two sides. I think it would be close. e.g Newell/Speedie v Bent/Jansen?

Is that a youtube channel or from their official site?

All PNE games are now on PornHub.

You got lucky there Bazza, god bless your old man!

...and none of this false 9 bollocks either, just real men in tight shorts with real bollocks.
