My glasses again !

What time is it in Missouri ?

I can’t really argue with that. I’m surprised the young winger isn’t on the bench but there’s only so many places. I suppose Brittain must still be injured ?

According to my paper today he’s been taking painkillers for a groin injury. This appears to have been going on since the beginning of the season. He shouldn’t really be playing.

That’s not where his strengths lie. He needs to be nearer to the goal not further away.

I was a bit puzzled about them signing Sammi when they were already after another striker that they didn’t get. Then they signed Clarke. They already had Delap and Ogbene with Hirst coming back. It’s a win win I suppose. If he makes it they’re got a bargain, if he’s a flop they either keep him if they go down or sell him on for what they paid for him if they stay up. I thought Sammi was great at Rovers but I don’t think he’s a Premier League player. I think one way or another he’ll be back in the championship next season.

Probably, that’s what’s happened previously.

It’s early days yet but the progress we’ve made will have been noted. Even the dogs in the street are aware of the problems at Ewood Park. It’s the Chicken Chokers “ added degree of difficulty “ factor that comes with the hot seat at Rovers. You get extra kudos if you can make a success of it. Other clubs directors will be watching. The sort of clubs that always know at any time who their next manager will be.

I know, if he set off walking now he could make it easily.

My grandson, who has suddenly become really passionate about Rovers, would like to have gone to the game but it would be next to impossible for him to get there for 12-00 on public transport.

Great save but what was the penalty taker doing heading the ball down when Raya was on the floor and the lad had all the goals to head the ball into ?

Inevitable. If it isn’t Southampton it’ll be someone else.

The biggest mystery of all is why did we sign him for that fee.

You missed out Oldham.

We’d shouldn’t be taking any opponent lightly. We go out there expecting it to be our hardest game so far, it’s the only way to approach any game.

The Ramones -Don’t Come Close

I got some “ Loakes “ loafers back in the day in Edinburgh. They still look like new and I must have had them at least 20 years.

At the moment the only instance I can see of both of them being on the pitch at the same time is if we are chasing the game and need goals. That might change as the season goes on but I’d be surprised.

Let’s have it right. There were people on this site that were on his case after a handful of games. Ridiculous really considering the state the club was in. They know who they are so I’ll leave it at that.

I had a pair of really nice “ Pod’s “ back then. Sort of Man City blue but with perforated leather uppers. The most comfortable shoes I’ve ever had. They’ve stopped making them now. “ Pods “ have gone down market, “ Kickers “ have as well.

He was brilliant in that game. As good an all round centre forward display as I’ve seen.

Top class player. A Rolls-Royce of a centre forward.

And they only played 90 mins.
