It's all very deliberately done to erode the fan base. Fewer people around who can jump up and down about the sorry state of things. With the way things are looking we'll be dropping into league one in a couple of years. All in a very managed and deliberate manner.

Sorry to hear of your sad news @roverandout

No, he got sent off. Came out at half time goading the rovers fans. Set up Bentley for one of the goals. Quite possibly the best game I've ever been to.

Aside from the feeling, its good that it is having a positive effect.

I'll bat if waggot is the ball.

What a fucking rip off.

Well, they did want to buy a cricket team first. Come on venkys, sell Rovers and buy a cricket club. No one will give a fuck about you running that into the ground.

Never heard of it. What's it all about? Hopefully it works. Get well soon.

If you had to live in Stoke you'd be pretty angry.

Having watched a lot of football in the 90s I can say with absolute certainty that United players wore those kits every week.

He plays for Man U. That's all that's required for England selection.

Didn't they win the Uefa cup? But yeah, they're buying the league like they always did but don't seem to understand anymore that you actually have to pick up the trophy for it to be a success.

More like it's part of what I was talking about earlier.

Welcome to t' turd.

Just to add a bit more perspective to this. The Modi government in India is a far right Hindu fascist party who's main objective is to make India a Hindu country. As I'm sure you all know, India has a multitude of different cultures and religions so you can no doubt grasp the ramifications of what the Modi government is trying to do. There have been numerous incidents over the recent years of violence towards other religious and ethnic groups, particularly muslims. The point is that they aren't just a normal middle of the road government. If Venkys have got on the wrong side of this regime then things could end up going very bad for them.

We can only dream.

Brilliant post. The whole world of football is a cesspit.

From the sounds of this, that's the opposite of what they want to do.

Hahahha yes 100 fucking percent.

Being one of only seven clubs to have won the premier league is plenty of prospect for growth. The academy, most successful town team on the world etc etc. History does matter. Look at the marketing that has been done down the road. Imagine what it would look like if that was done at this place. Comparing our situation to Bury is absolutely cartoonishley ridiculous.

Get with reality . Football clubs get bought left right and centre let alone one with the prestige of Rovers. We're more likely to end up like Bury with venkys.

A 10 game winning streak.
