If they do appoint Andrew’s I’ll bet any money thst he won’t be there this time next year.

Putting the record to one side the football we played under Southgate was dull, uninspiring and boring.

Kane was. Bellingham might be. Rice, Mm, not quite for me.

Remember the two club rule. Players only come to Ewood if there isn’t an alternative. If the mighty Oxford are in for him forget it.

Good.

Ardiles in the ‘78 team was world class as were Kempes and Passarella.

I have been for years. I rarely tell people I’ve just met that I support Rovers. I only hang around because of my grandson. He’s 18 and really keen. He’ll still be here when the Chicken Chokers are history so I don’t want him to lose hope like I have. Once fans go they very rarely come back.

My youngest son got a signed Rovers ball a few years ago. It came with a piece of paper that deciphered all the squiggles.

It’s the same story at the Red Rats.

Hw still got a “ signed match ball “. It just wasn’t signed by the players. “ Buyer Beware “.

“ Running out or road “ somes up the last few years of Southgate’s time in charge. If we’d have given him another 10 years we still wouldn’t have won anything. Looking into the future we haven’t got the players to win things. You need world class players to win trophies at international level and, with the possible exception of Bellingham, looking to the future we haven’t got any. When we won the big one we had 3 players that would have got into a World Team. Banks, Moore, Charlton. With three more in Ball, Hurst and Wilson knocking on the door.

That’s what Mrs Shoelaces says.

The photo in colour is worse. He needs to get on the Guinness and Steak diet asap.

They will be.
