Venkys.

Can't see that happening for a while. You've to camp out there permanently to avoid losing your space. Just the nature of it, there's only enough room for a quarter of a million but the waiting list is well into eight figures.

Haven't we all been saying that JRC looks like he's carrying an injury for a few weeks now?

The Coral - Dreaming Of You

Let's face it, you've got to have some issues to support Burnley.

It also made games like Liverpool vs Real Madrid really special as they were a rare occasion.

As much shit as I've given Pears for his absolutely disastrous performances I can't see him being dropped straight away. Not until Tòth has been here a few weeks anyway. Pears does have quick reactions and is reasonably athletic and can make good saves. His decision making and positioning are his weaknesses. He is very poor at both and that's why he concedes soft goals easily.

Maybe he just wants to play in a competitive league.

This exemplifies the point myself and chaddy have been making in the other thread. What are Aston Villa champions of exactly? I can't remember them winning a fucking thing in the last 30 years. They just need to change the name of the competition to the 'big clubs cup'. Champions League, bollocks.

There are rivalries with every team from the north west. It's just the nature of it. But the dingles will always be the one that matters. On another note, you never hear teams from round our way complaining about how many derby games we have to play like all the shit London teams do. Soft southern bastards.

Exactly, it's supposed to be a CHAMPIONS League. Fourth place is not even a podium finish. The move away from having only league winners in the competition is what has destroyed football and made it the closed shop bore fest that it is now. Besides, what exactly are Newcastle United champions of? I've never seen them win a fucking thing.

Absolutely 💯

Well they can't all come from Bonlah if the population is only 80000 and their average weekly attendance is well over a quarter of a million.

In all fairness some on here were trying to claim our game against the non entity that is Preston North End was more important than the dingles. No it fucking isn't.

After 14 years it's pretty obvious they have no shame. You need self respect for that.

No, Sheringham dived.

So you'd get rid of the last major trophy we won for some shit internationals that hardly anyone gives a fuck about? Very strange.

I think their owners are in danger of doing a Leeds if they don't win promotion. The impression I've got from what little notice I've paid to them is that everything seems to be mortgaged up to the eyeballs banking on them reaching the prem. They've outspent everyone else in the division again and have appointed a manager that has already got two teams promoted. If they don't manage to go up ot will be a huge failure. Hopefully they do fail, are completely financially fucked and fuck off back down to division four where they belong.

I still reckon the 1965 BRFCS ones from Ribero are the best. That is honestly the best Rovers shirt I've ever had.

I love how they're complaining about the fact they've sold a lot of players and they're in 'turmoil'. We've been owned by venkys for 14 years you simpletons. They are the only reason you have ever beaten us in the last few years. Don't ever forget that.

The main thing I remember about him was yelling AWAY at corners. The joys of sitting behind the goal.

He's our new keeper. He says his coach told him he should be in goal because he's crazy. I think you need a big personality to be a great keeper. Hopefully he is Brad Friedel reincarnated.

I really hope so. I'd love for them to return to their rightful place in the bowels of the football league.

Before the inevitable January sabotage of course.

Looks like we really rattled them there. I think a lot of them know that the only reason they're above us and have the upper hand is because venkys came and systematically destroyed everything at this club from the inside out. They don't sing long live venkys for nothing. Their obsession with Rovers has always been very strange. Even in 2000 they were giving it the big un despite us being lightyears ahead of them. A good old 5-0 hammering put them in their place.
