we have won  or drawn more on tv this season than any other in recent times

From what I remember Rovers have a good record generally against the north-east teams, particularly away from home (no doubt some statto will correct me) so hopefully this will be the case against Boro. Another point wouldn't be bad and probably the best we can hope for until the likes of Tronstad and Rankin-Costello come back.

Eustace will also have had a full week to work with the players so he has no excuses this time on getting his ideas across and putting his playing philosophy into practice. 

I'm on a good run with predictions having got 4 in a row spot on so I'll go for a 1-1 draw

we will probably draw every game from now until the end of the season apart from the last game which will ultimately send us down because we have no desire, fight or drive to win

Has anyone used Amazon FBA before?

After the Lord Mayor's Show?

Will John Eustace be proven a genius giving his two complete midfields 60 minutes each against Newcastle affirming and inspiring them or will all the players be totally drained physically or emotionally?

This is not quite a must not lose but it is an opportunity to move sharpish towards the 50 points total. We don't want to be regretting a rubbish loss when the following results come in:

Millwall v Watford

Rotherham v Sheffield Wednesday

Stoke v Middlesbrough

Brum and Plymouth are entertaining Southampton and Ipswich while QPR go to Leicester- stranger things have happened than those three strugglers winning..

So fingers crossed for a second South Wales clean sheet. A more inspired performance than Cardiff would be a greatly appreciated bonus. Swansea are a bit of a nothing team but they can be dangerous and produce the goods as we know all too well from their visit to Ewood in October. Timely revenge required.

every game going forward now should be of a "must not lose" mentality. Rovers have now set the bar against Newcastle and shown that the are much better than what we have seen all season, so now going forward there will be no excuse for the shit to continue

i think if we beat Newcastle on Tuesday night we should get an automatic promotion spot

this one could actually be a very dark day indeed.... lets hope not

3-0 rovers!!

Such a shame 

That first half was dreadful 

Whatever happened to the official rovers forum that was on rovers.co.uk? must of been 10 years or more since i was on it and it doesnt seem to be about anymore?

I loved an idea (although I hope it remains only an idea) that Rock’s demands to HHH to ‘fix it’ grow their feud further.

Come WM Night One, Rock gets in the ring and calls out HHH. ‘You didn’t fix it. You disrespected me as a board member, you disrespected the Bloodline, you disrespected my family. I could fire your candyass right now but why don’t you step in this ring so I can whup it instead!’

HHH: ‘Rock, as much as I’d love to step in the ring, you know I can’t. My heart issues haven’t gone away. But I figured you’ve been getting angrier as the weeks have built to this amazing event. I figured you’d call me out. I know you want a fight, but you won’t get it from me…

*Glass shatters*

Don’t usually get promos at mania or PPVs/PLEs anyway in general but to have stone cold come back v The Rock would be the nuts….. don’t think stone cold would tho

JDT was sold a dream that turned out to be just a wet dream…… and bullshit. So he got off…. And rightly so. Anyone who thinks this manager will get anything different regarding this new manager or any new manager after eustace then you keep on dreaming them wet dreams

I think they had a fairly solid plan until Rock came in and forced his way into storylines. The Vince allegations obviously put things into a state of chaos as well.

I actually think they have the opportunity now to make things more interesting than the original plans, but it depends where they go creatively. It's not ideal to have to retool a story that they likely had booked well in advance, and deal with the knock on affect of how that impacts other stories - particularly Seth's opponent at WM. 

The way the rock thought he could just muscle is way into the main event of mania without anything much going on before hand and to make the storylines that have been going on for a long time now seem a waste and irrelevant, just goes to show how out of touch the rock is with the WWE and the WWW Universe….. Friday will be interesting 

Don't know if this has been posted.... but watch Red Rose on Netflix.. really good and filmed quite locally in Bolton

i love watching aussie tv programs..... whats hot on tv over there atm?

I know the Observer reported that it was part of Rock's contract when he signed to the TKO board that he would headline WM. How true that is, I don't know, but it would be baffling for them to go ahead with Cody winning the rumble if that was the case. With that said, everything about this has been baffling, so it's probably true. 

I'd like to see Rock/Seth on Night 1 and Cody/Roman on Night 2. Rock still gets his main event, but nothing to do with Cody and Reigns. Doesn't seem like that's the direction they're going in though. 

this mania being the 40th one should be an epic spectacle.. the problem is they have no actual plan going forward and everything is up in the air it could actually be one of the worst ones in memory

 I’ve always loved it. At the moment, because there is no dominant force, it’s especially engaging.

The Premier League will knock the enthusiasm out of you though. The same 8 players playing each other every week for 4 months with little decided until the last couple of weeks. 😴😴😴

yea its a shame its only every Thursday would of been better with more players over 2 nights

I'm glad WWE did the right thing by backtracking (and the press conference confrontation was legitimately fantastic), but it's crazy that they misread their audience so badly. With Vince out of the picture I thought they'd be a little more sensible, but seems like TKO are just as dense. The one main difference seems to be that they're willing to change course rather than try to force the audience to accept what's given to them, which is obviously a positive.

Personally i believe it was The Rocks call to change it to him and Rhodes..... the negativity then forced the back track. Also, i think we are going to see a tag team match between The Rock & Roman v Rhodes and Rollins

The R still seems pretty strong with white Blackburn kids. Of course I have to differentiate because the Asian Blackburn accent is a different accent, similar-ish, but different. As the Asian community of Blackburn continues to grow the R will ultimately keep weakening. But it’s still strong in Darwen and Hyndburn.

It also is in Burnley and Preston too
