Every time I see the title of this thread “ Mowbray’s reign as a whole “ - why does the expression “ Black hole “ come to my mind.

If the youth team manager keeps Burnley up will they make the same mistake as the red rats did with Solksjaer ? Makes you wonder what would have happened if we’d have blown Mowbray out six games ago and appointed Johnno in his place. Could we have honestly done any worse ? Of course it helps if the people making the decisions are actually in the bloody country and actually know we are playing.

Last time Everton went down to the last day they won under suspicious circumstances.

I’ll pay for a taxi to take him there.

That’s one sold then.

Everton need to come out of this game with some self respect or it could be all over. I can’t see a win or even a draw but they must avoid a battering at all costs.

Yep, I envy any team that plays with some pride and self respect. We have none.

Have Wolves anything to play for apart from pride ?

I had him behind Grealish at the time. Those long term injuries have blunted him at the moment. It’s in the lap the gods if he makes a full recovery. It’s not nearly there yet.

Me neither. It’s a fork in the road for me. I’ve had enough of him.

I was just looking through next weeks TV guide when I came across this programme - next Weds at 9-00pm on ITV - “ Searching for Michael Jackson’s Zoo With Ross Kemp “. Do they know something we don’t ?

Dion.

Don’t tell me. I’ve long tried to avoid anything he says. Last time he was on Radio Lancs my blood pressure shot up.

That’s difficult when we haven’t been signing “ winners “ for a long while.

There’s a guy near me that flies a flag of some sort every day. He’s got all sorts of flags. Usually it’s the cross of St George but rececently he was flying the Union flag, unfortunately he was flying it upside down. One place I worked at it was our job to fly the flags when we had visitors from abroad. We even had an Iranian flag in the collection. We got our flags from a place called “ Middleton Flags “ in North Manchester. One day the welding shop foreman was chatting with me and my mate and he mentioned he was planning to flag his back yard, “ Did we know a good supplier of flag stones ? “ he asked. Quick as a flash my mate, who was a real piss taker, said “ I do Tony, “ Middleton Flags “. I’ll get you their phone number. “ So Tony goes off with the phone number. About 10 minutes later he comes back looking red faced. “ You bastards, that was embarrassing “. He wasn’t happy. This was how the conversation went apparently. M Flags ” Good morning sir, how can we help you ? “ Tony “ I like to buy some flags please. “ M Flags “ What size of flags do you require sir ? “ Tony, (slightly puzzled), “ Err, the usual size “. M Flags “ OK sir, standard size, what nationalities would you like ? “ Tony ( puzzled ) “ What nationalities have you got ? “ M Flags ( puzzled ) “ Well we have flags from all over the world sir “. Tony ( still puzzled ) “ I suppose I’d like British flags “. M Flags, “ Right oh sir, how many would you like ? “ Tony “ Well enough to do a backyard that’s roughly 20ft square “. M Flags, laughing out loud, “ I think we’re talking at cross purposes sir, we don’t supply that sort of flag, we don’t do flag stones.”

Dack’s not going anywhere at the moment. Would you sign him on current performances ?

Yeah I’ve been to Boundary Park many times watching Rovers and my Rugby League team. Next to nearest ground for me. It’s not that long ago they beat Rovers, that’s the last time I was there I think.

I called it a day because I couldn’t handle the mental side of playing again. If it’s gone it’s gone.

Anybody in this league playing us should be confident. Aren’t we bottom of the current form league ? It’s the usual Mowbray bollocks. Doesn’t know his best team and doesn’t know what formation to play. As for them being up for it more than us. Tell me the last time we were up for it more than our opponents. They used to call it - “ lack of moral fibre “ in the old days.

“Almost” is the operative word when we’re discussing Mowbray.

Why not Nyambe, Brown hasn’t kicked a ball a first team level yet. Pickering’s not a fullback for me either. Three things you need to play there sucessfully - pace, pace, pace.

Brown and Johnson ? I Don’t think so. If Pickering gets a shirt he’ll be one very lucky boy.

That’s why he’s over rated. Just my opinion of course.

You’re letting the players off lightly. They’re No1 culprits for me.
