Upside Down

It's been like that since I have been watching the game. So obvious that players from the 'big clubs' are favoured for selection. There's a reason they never gave the job to Brian Clough.

That's just disgusting. I hope we never have to see such barbarian tactics again.

Thankfully we now have top tier coaches like Russell Martin who can show us the right way to play the game. Hopefully we never have to return to the dark days of crossing wingers, tackling defenders and the dreaded two up front.

I don't understand why the wingers crossed the ball into the box. They could have lost possession there. What they should have done was stopped and passed back 5 yards to the nearest player.

Hopefully they have to pay three times the total amount they've sent over here since 2010.

I'd give them a hand throwing all their shit into a skip when they're leaving. I'd even raise a leg to boot them up the arse on the way out.

That seems incredibly similar to the model of 10-15 years ago where we forced out all of our proven experienced players and got in a load of random Portuguese lads....

Yet they're so far ahead of the teams in the division below.

Just saw earlier that Uriah Rennie has died at the age of 65. Quite saddened and shocked by that to be honest. Along with being a referee he was a martial arts black belt I believe. He was a shit ref though.

Only if he's smoking synnies

You can give up on the league in December when the three relegated teams are already confirmed in November. Last season was the most pathetic season of football there has ever been. So boring, so predictable, such low quality from top to bottom. And I'm not just talking about the premier league there, that's across the whole of Europe at minimum. Just another glaring example of how selling off your culture to billionaires and multinational conglomerates leads to nothing other than an end product that is at best mediocre and completely toxic at the worst whilst also being massively overpriced and overhyped.

Exactly, boycott the club and support the coalition.

Those old boots were made with real leather and were well made. I'd hazard a guess they were made in Germany. The boots nowadays are synthetic shite made in the cheapest sweatshops the company can find. Modern clothing is awful quality and made with cheap plastic unless you spend an absolute fortune. Look at football shirts. The old ASICS ones from the 90s I have are still in new condition. Made in the UK as well. Compare that to the cheap shit you get now. When you look into the way the clothing industry operates it's no wonder our whole global ecosystem is completely fucked.

I see what you mean now. Even more of a reason to do our own version. The official 150th anniversary shirt brought to you by the supporters coalition.

I would suspect that they wouldn't have started the process without knowing they would secure some kind of conviction. Really hoping the money runs out soon. Administration can't come soon enough.

Or they're reversed on the front.

The Small Faces - You Need Loving

This style 👍 Have you the ability to put together a pre order system?

A mix of styles. Good ball control and tactical manoeuvres along with some no nonsense aggression and sending over the stands when required. The problem that English players have and have had for decades is the complete lack of ability to see the game in a tactical manner. That's why there's no good English managers. You'd think that with it being our national sport and the place where the game originated the FA would do something to address this but I suppose they haven't got any time for that kind of thing when they're busy lining their pockets with blood money.

Time to ask again. Does anybody seriously think that they are going to be trying to sign players to strengthen the squad? Seriously?

I'm not too fussed about what the club does myself as I don't see this as 150 years of Blackburn Rovers. For me that club ceased to exist in 2010. This is just a 15 years anniversary of venky rovers. Nothing to celebrate at all. @Herbie6590 could you have a 150th shirt in the works, something similar to the 1960s shirts but with a button up collar similar to this? I am asking out of pure selfishness here as I have lost over 10kg and my old one now is too big for me. The Ribero 1960s ones we got last time were the best Rovers shirts I've ever had. I also think it's another way to shame the club as once again the fans can do a much better job than them.

Me or you or anyone here could have got England to at least the semis. The teams they came up against were shockingly poor. When they came up against any kind of half decent opposition he was outfoxed and out classed. The quality of football in general has deteriorated beyond belief over the last 15 years and that is no more clearly evident than in the international game. That last Euros was the worst quality competition I have ever seen. Spain won with ease and they weren't particularly impressive. In fairness to Southgate, he got the England team playing as a team for a while rather than a bunch of big ego'd dickheads that were just there to get their face in the paper. That's more a reflection of how poor the England managers have been for the last 30 years though. Thanks to the large amount of television footage that exists and os easily accessible nowadays, you can go back and see what the game used to be like. It's not just us wearing rose tinted glasses, the game was much much better.

Shows how much football has fallen into disrepute that the UEFA Cup is now considered a minor competition. The whole lot needs to be ripped up and started again.

Because they're as thick as the walls of Skipton castle.

This is like something you'd see on the onion. If this is real then I fear for humanity knowing there are people out there who are that thick and ignorant that are walking around free.
