Just proving balls whipped in from out wide near the bye line are hard to defend against. Plus you only need to get half a yard on the full back to get a cross in.

Skeeter Davis - The End Of The World

It’s not like they’re short of wingers though is it. In some ways that’s part of their problem.

Roy C - Shotgun Wedding

The Clovers - Love Potion Number Nine

I don’t think I could name one of their current team. However I could name their 1960 Cup Final side that played Rovers at Wembley!

Scott English - Brandy

The Temptations - Just My Imagination ( Running Away With Me )

When have the Chicken Chokers ever given a rats arse about what the fans want ?

A zombie club and that’s what we’ve been since the Chicken Chokers bought us.

Luton unlucky there.

I think Sheff U will have dropped a bollock if they appoint Wilder again. Yesterday’s man.

Happy to keep it at 1-0.

You mean 5 minutes ?

One for the old timers - Chris Crowe. Bought as a replacement for Roy Vernon. Not fit to lace his boots unfortunately. We sold him at a loss to Wolves and he ended up getting an England cap !

Mm, he didn’t manage to keep us in this league in his first season. Having said that he manage to keep us in it nicely after we came back up.

I couldn’t believe it when we re-signed him. Especially when we paid big bucks. He was no better than ok in his first spell here, did very little at Big Club, did nothing back at Southampton. A Rolls Royce body with a lawn mower engine.

Of course. If someone will pick it up.

That just ensures we get a decent fee for once.

I’ve been given a nicely framed aerial photo of the new Ewood Park. Taken at an angle from over the Jack Walker stand. It used to be in “ The Bull’s Head “ in Smallbridge, Rochdale. It measures 22” x 18”. It’s going free to the first taker. It must be picked up from my home in Rochdale. A good Xmas gift for someone.

It’d snatch your hand off if you offered for us to be where we are now in May.

Baby Washington - That’s How Heartaches Are Made

Nina Simone - Don’t Let Me Be Missunderstood.

They’re not exactly game changers though are they ?

We’d have a chance if we only played them for 70 minutes. After that not being able to refresh the team will be critical.
