James Brown And The Famous Flames - I Don’t Mind

If I’d a pound for every game we’ve lost were I was pretty sure we’d win I’d be rich. Ditto the other way around. Football is a funny game, anything can happen. Being the favourite means nothing if you go out there with the wrong attitude. Come Rovers, give us something to shout about.

Otis Redding - These Arms Of Mine

You need to read Jim’s piece more carefully. The crew neck is my favourite shirt. We probably wore that shirt unchanged for the longest time. We first wore it in late 1962 and we were still wearing it in the early 1970’s. My first shirt was the vee neck one Jim referred to.

The Walker Brothers - The Sun Ain’t Gonna Shine Anymore

At the risk of repeating myself - players basically fit into two groups. The ones that get you on top in the game and the ones that start playing when the first group have given them the platform to play on. I’ll let you decide which group Moran fits into.

Yeah, the shirts are awful but if that was your first Rovers shirt you probably love them.

Bob Seger And The Silver Bullet Band - Hollywood Nights

Play him in goal - he’d stop as many as Wahlstadt.

Rochdale won’t be far behind if they don’t get an investor in the next six weeks.

O C Smith - Son Of Hickory Holler’s Tramp

Especially when we’re playing at Ewood.

Wing back is probably his best position.

You mean like Wharton ?

The Drifters - Under The Boardwalk

It’s not an 11 a side game anymore matey. You can bring half a team on now if you like. He could replace Sammi when he’s running on empty.

Then we give them away unfortunately.

I agree. When I played I was on the receiving end of some real beatings eventually but I never went into any match thinking we couldn’t somehow win the game.

You’re making the old mistake of looking for logic in anything the Chicken Chokers do.

If they’re waiting for Modi to exit stage left they’ll have a very, very long wait. He’ll probably die in office, he’s certainly not going to be losing any elections, he’ll make sure of that.I’ve always thought it was political, that’s how things are done on the sub continent.

I’ve just realised that I’ve been playing the wrong.game all along. I realise now that the object of the exercise is to bring the game to a halt rather than keep it going.

Who have you got in mind Joey. As far as I can see all the other likely candidates for the fifth midfield player are injured or out on loan.

We could rest Tronstad and give Travis a game. Oh I forgot, we loaned him to Ipswich.

Merle Travis - John Henry

Plus at the moment he’s only got 60 minutes in the tank. After that we have to sub on whichever inferior player gets the nod. It would have been nice to have brought on McGuire and maybe up our game instead of going into our shell just at the wrong time.
