When Burnley sacked Dyche it was in an attempt to avoid relegation. Venkys sacked Big Sam in an attempt to deliberately relegate the club.

There was always going to come a day when they would beat us. That's just football. But whilst we had people in situ that had even the slightest shed of dignity and competency they were never going to overtake us in the way they have.

It's one of the main reasons why I will never stop holding them to account for what they have done. And to all the gloating dingles; you've basically just beaten up a cancer patient. Well done tough guys.

November that year.

Yes and before they had infested our beloved club we hadn't lost to them for 30 odd years I think. One thing for sure is we were lightyears ahead of them with no chance of them ever catching up.

The Electric Prunes - I Had Too Much To Dream (Last Night)

I can understand the dingles having the chip on their shoulder as the only reason they have become more dominant than us is because we had the club ripped apart from the inside.

Everything about this tournament is a total sham. The only good thing to come out of it is that Qatar's attempt at sport washing has backfired and has only brought more scrutiny upon them. Hopefully that same level of scrutiny will be applied next time when the tournament goes to Amerikkka.

Whatever reason for not playing them it is total bollocks. Piss poor management.

One lesson you must learn in life - NEVER let facts get in the way of a good old fashioned witch hunt.

Nothing wrong with lowering expectations, mine are about as low as they can be and I'm still disappointed on a regular basis, although I am pleased with where we are in the league. The one thing I will never lower is my standards. When the Indian disease first manifested itself upon this great club we were sitting comfortably in the middle to top half of the Premier League. We were also probably one of the most well run clubs in the world. That is the minimum standard that I am prepared to accept from our supposed billionaire supposed owners.

The fact we didn't play either of the Wharton's has really pissed me off. Players like that can be the difference in games like that. Instead it was treated like it was any other game, no different to playing away at Rotherham or Hull. As soon as the first goal went in it was just another example of every one shrugging their shoulders and going "oh well, no bother, I'll still be getting paid this week" Our club has absolutely no passion, pride or determination from top to bottom and it hasn't done for twelve years.

If you can support that then you aren't a Rovers fan.

Well after England's inevitable early exit from the World Cup and that totally disgraceful display at t' turd, the only way is up! I'm going to be optimistic about this one. Our winter break will have done us the world of good and JDT has the team running like a well oiled machine. 3-0 to the Rovers.

Certainly not when swag charges £35 a ticket.

After that totally gutless display on Sunday (not the first this season), I have decided what I am willing to accept this season from JDT. Number 1 is obviously a promotion. This should be the goal for the season, if it isn't then what the fuck are we doing? Number 2. Failing promotion, fair do's we haven't got the strongest or deepest squad in the league so I can understand that we could miss out but should that be the case the bare minimum I will accept is a win over the dingles at Ewood. If he fails to achieve either of these things then as far as I’m concerned he can go in the bin with Mowbray, Bowyer and Kidd. I also think that winning the Preston game on the return from the break is an absolute minimum requirement as well. That display on Sunday was fucking disgusting. I have no time for projects journeys or any other bollocks I want a team that plays with passion, pride and desire to do something other than plod along in the second division shrugging off diabolical, gutless performances in important games. 12 years of Venkys, 12 years of failure.

I'm sorry but that performance was absolutely unacceptable. I'm in no way calling for his head but he deserves a sever reprimand for that. I'm still absolutely baffled and thoroughly pissed off that he didn't play the Wharton brothers.

He wasn't on Sunday.

They don't give a toss, which is even worse.

Why is our team so fucking gutless?

Once again, embarrassing chaddy.

I've had all day to think about it and this has fucked me off more than anything. I mean seriously, what the actual fuck?

As soon as we concede the first goal we may as well get back on the bus and fuck off home.

Hence the totally gutless and pathetic performance.

He totally Mowbray'd this one. The fact he didn't play the Whartons at all has really pissed me off.
