Upside Down

Yes hopefully that nonsense of giving up a two goal lead is behind us. Another clean sheet will be brilliant.

Wouldn't say it was a bad miss. It was more of a freak miss, a bit unlucky. He hit the inside of the post and it amazingly bounced back out. The goal Barnsley scored was similar but it bounced in the other direction.

Uddersfield seem to be a bit of a bogey team for the Rovers. Hopefully our form will carry us through. We'll be seriously looking at an automatic spot if we can keep this up. I've heard it said that football is 60% confidence and 40% ability.

That West Ham match made me lose 80% of the love I had for the game. We were clearly the victims of match fixing that day and the end of that season was an absolute joke. West Ham field third party players, have matches fixed in their favour and are ultimately rewarded with a place in the Premier League. Absolute disgrace. The Venkys takeover was the final nail.

Don't get too carried away with that. Huddersfield are usually a bogey team for us. The automatic spots is where we should be aiming though.

Deep Purple - Highway Star

Great to see another win. Shows real bottle to keep heads up when conceding that close to half time.

I do hate the sound of my voice. I always try to do something to make it sound different. My accent always sounds far broader on recordings. The quality of the recordings does make a huge difference.

Absolute belter of an episode

That should just be the price every week

Wherever we are next year it is highly likely that we will only be signing players from the lower leagues or possibly Scotland. We won't have the budget for top players and it wouldn't surprise me one bit if we got promoted and there was absolutely no investment in the squad.

Lots of people comment on how I've still got my accent. I've certainly picked up a lot of words and phrases along the way. Some of them are pure gold. Now, is it luke or luck?

I think this stuff should be allowed in a controlled way. I always remember seeing flares and smoke bombs in European games and thinking it gave a real edge to the atmosphere. Especially when it came to derby games. There are elements of ultra culture that would be good to integrate into the English clubs. Let's just leave out the violence and far right politics eh.

Hopefully that bollocks with Hull will have given the lads a good rest and they can give Barnsley a good thrashing.

So it's a promise from Venkys.... Good luck with that.

These are the governing bodies of football you're talking about. They couldn't give two fucks about fans. We are not enough of a lucrative income stream.

Nothing to see here.

Stone Roses - Elephant Stone

Hate to bring down the festive mood but this is a potential banana skin today. Hopefully the lads give them a bloody good hiding.

Was something I knew I should have always done but was too lazy to make the change. Ended up getting real crook and that gave me the impetus to make the lifestyle changes I should have done all along. Feel way better and there is no chance of going back. What I would say to anyone is give it a go. You have nothing to lose.

The Beach Boys - Wonderful

Hopefully there will be humble pie all around.

No. It'd be more inappropriate the other way round.

It's nice to see some people have a glass half full mentality
