Saw Idles last night. Fuck me.

If it was THE training ground that would be great. He was a coach for such a long time. Given that swag is in charge of it, it'll probably end up just being Tony's name misspelled scrawled above one of the bog doors in sharpie.

And come here.

Hard to really get excited about this tournament. All it has done is disrupt the domestic season which is what the majority of fans actually care about. The world cup is a fantastic spectacle and always entertaining, but club football is the real deal. Regardless of the numerous political and ethical reasons against holding the world cup in a place like Qatar, if the competition can't be played in the off season due to the weather conditions then it should be hosted by a country that can fit in with the domestic schedule.

Not even that he's better. He just offers something different.

Where's that famous chaddy positivity?

That depends, do people still shout Beamo from the Blackburn End? We even used to say it when we were playing on the park, I just thought that was what you said haha.

Britain openly supports, arms and funds those countries, so not really.

I never actually knew what that was about. I just thought a Beamo was someone belting it into the top tier, I never knew it was a player. People still shouting that in the 90s and early 00's.

He will never be forgotten. How can anybody forget Mowbray playing him as a false 9.

I agree. I'm 100% behind Pep taking the reigns at Rovers.

We generally are. The exceptions to that are Kidd and that bald cunt that pretended to be a manager.

If you want a world cup to be held by a country with good human rights then there won't be many on the list. There definitely won't be one in England.

That's what every club that has gone down has done. Well all except one.....

Shearer scored every penalty he took, except that one where Bobby Robson lost his house.

It wouldn't take much effort to turn a 2/3 empty Ewood into 2/3 full . The last third is reserved for the big games when we're in the top flight.

Also people will be more inclined to go if there is a top notch atmosphere. You don't get that with 8000 season ticket holders.

For me it is really quite simple. Did we sell less season tickets than the year Coyle was appointed? If the answer is yes then it is 100% total failure. As far as I am concerned anything less than 12 thousand is a failure.

Although I do admire the fact you are generally very positive and give people the benefit of the doubt, you very often croos the line between positivity and naivety.

My thoughts exactly. I'm not cheering for him to be used out of sentimentality, I want him to be involved because he is class and can offer something different. Had he been involved more in some of the games where we really struggled with getting it out of defence I think we could have got something out of them. The manager needs to be big enough to not operate a scorched earth policy as that would be bad for the team. And the team is number one remember.

Imagine those people in charge of things now.

Middlesbrough, have you met League One? League One, this is Middlesbrough.

It was certainly true for the second half of last season.

You really do take everything that everybody says at face value don't you...

All that proves is that xg is a load of bollocks. Against Sunderland they had a higher expected goals than us but lost 2-0. Its total bollocks. The only time I would expect a goal to be scored is if Shearer had just put the ball down on the penalty spot.
