Successful coaches in other codes don’t feel the need to jump around on the touchline. In both codes of rugby they sit high up in the stand were they have the best view of play and communicate with the bench by phone. It works for them.

What would that team look like ? We’ve spent years signing players with a blindfold and a pin.

My youngest son has a magic stick and he’ll probably be having it on this afternoon. I could walk over to his place if I felt like it but I’ve got more important things to do. I’m tired of coming away from Rovers with sky high blood pressure and looking for a cat to kick.

Or wasn’t it setting fire to Stan Ternent’s wife’s coat in a chip shop. Somebody will know the full SP.

The “ Hilton” chain have a budget range of hotels apparently. They’re building at least one ten story hotel in the centre of Rochdale right now. Could be they’re building two. Somebody else is building multi story apartments next to the hotels. Rochdale is no better than Blackburn in this respect, the demand must be there.

I rather have ALK than the Chokers. As I said earlier at least we’d know what chip shop they go in.

I look at it like this Chaddy - if they aren’t bothered, why should I be ?

If they’d just do one and leave us debt free, or even at the level of debt they came in on, they could stuff their money up their Chicken Choking arses.

Would Neill do a better job than Mowbray ? I’m pretty sure he would.

I was thinking about playing with a back four until the defending in the Peterborough game reminded me why we went to five at the back in the first place.

I’d have left that last sentence like this - “ Needs to get back in work “.

Exactly. We’re better off not making the play offs. We’d only get shown up.

There no positives, believe me. At least you can find out where Pace lives and put a brick through his window.

A whole fiver ! Wow,

I’d be surprised if they took him back to be honest Merc. Especially with Dyche available.

At the end of the day we haven’t.

That sort of money makes Rishi Sunak look like a cheap skate. How is any normal person going to spend that sort of money ?

I thought he wanted Lowe to stay.

He wasn’t as good as Wharton to be honest.

I remember both those incidents. I was at the Forest game. He did his ankle against ‘ Boro. He had the ball and he was trying to get away from Juninho. Juninho grabbed his arm and tried to spin him around. LeSaux’s body moved but his foot was stuck in the turf. He was facing one way and his foot was at 90 degrees to the rest of him ! It wasn’t much of a foul and it wasn’t a deliberate attempt to injure LeSaux. Going from memory I’d say he was out about 12 months after that. I can’t honestly believe a top level club would neglect the treatment of one of it’s prize assets to be honest but if that’s what he wants to say who am I to contradict him.

I just saw that United want to buy Branthwaite from Everton. They must be seeing something I didn’t.

Both games are do able. But looking at the stats Burnley are going to need more shots on goal. Was it just 1 today ? I honestly thought they might do well at West Ham. It was a really good time to play the Hammers, they haven’t got the squad size to be playing the number of big games they have recently. They’re picking up injuries. Something has to give.

LeSaux had an injury similar to that and he recovered so well he shat on us and buggered off when he was match fit again.

If you can find that one with Mowbray on set fire to it.

Which pope was it that actually played in goal ? Was it the Polish guy ?
