No we haven't. In fact any time we've ever come close to the top division those in power have sabotaged any chance of it happening.

If the ambition of the club is to simply exist, there is no reason for it to exist.

The best band in the world according to themselves. I agree you can't compare Weller to either of them. Weller is in the same league as Lennon/McCartney and Ray Davies. I think Noel and RA is a lot closer than you'd think. The first three Oasis records are absolutely brilliant. How many other groups can you put on their albums and know every single song? All of the above are great and I'd gladly go and see them live.

Since January 2023.

That goes without saying really. Unless you happen to have a brain as empty as Ewood on a League Cup night.

I agree, but he did say the last 30 years. Weller has put out some gold in that time but his purple patch was the 70s and 80s. The real question though, is he better than Noel?

Unfortunately he inherited a lot of problems that came with that great squad. Lots of Billy Big Bollocks that didn't like being told what to do. I still reckon if we'd have had him back after Hughes left, we'd have been a solid top six side every year.

It just makes all the fuss the media made about him and the Dingles last year even more embarrassing. With the budget they had, even Paul Ince would have got that squad promoted. Hopefully The Messiah® will be there for the full season at least.

Well that's just disgustful.

The gulf even within the Premier League is ridiculous. Look at the dingles. They absolutely pissed this league last year, spent 133 million and are second bottom. I raised the point last year that when we were promoted, we finished 10th and won a trophy, both of the other teams also stayed up. I speculated that the dingles would have no chance of that. So far I've been proven right. The whole parachute payments is a total scam and is designed solely to benefit the Premier League and make it a closed shop. The payments are only made to clubs who fail to get promoted on the first attempt, and the money that doesn't go to the clubs that do this just stays in the Premier League. Massive brutal changes are required to sort this out but they are highly unlikely to happen as they would lead to the wealthiest clubs being knocked down a few pegs. At least some of us got to experience football as a competitive sport that was entertaining to watch.

Absolute fucking retards. Total fucking embarrassment to the club and the those of who have the capacity to think. I've encountered amoeba with more brain power than these morons.

Charlie Parker - Hot House

Well we put out a second string squad and came away with a more respectable result than the Dingles.

Chaddy, if any Rovers manager decided to field 11 goalkeepers and have them all standing still on the edge of the six yard box you'd back them to the hilt.

Damien Duff World Fucking Class

Canned Heat - Evil Woman

Two up front with two proper wingers. How long before we see this again and the guy who does it hailed as a tactical genius?

Surprised that Brittain is in there.

Buying the league....

S.A.S. Nuff said.

That's what venkys have done to us. It wasn't that long ago that Chelsea away was just another game and we knew that if we played well we could come away with the win or a point at least.

The Small Faces - Here Come The Nice

Take kean off there. He is not, not should ever be considered a football manager. Simply just a piece of shit.

Watch this space

Even though he was way way way down the list, they must have seen something in him to warrant giving him a go. It's a big step up but I think we've got the right coaching setup for him to do that. Even Sammy took a while to get settled here, now he's the focal point of the whole team.
