I should really be excited for the return of the championship, being brutally honest though I still don't think I'm completely over that shitshow at the turf. Nothing more than a Preston pasting is acceptable here to get me back on side. There's gonna be some random results this weekend that's for sure, hopefully our excellent home form can help us to a win. That's if Ewood can handle the cold snowy weather.....

The dingle debacle has shaved a good few hundred off his anticipated half ST figures you'd imagine. I still don't think I'm properly over it.

I feel as though there's gonna be mass disappointment when foden doesn't play the next game. It's akin to jdt with Dack, manager knows best and won't bow to the fans opinion.

Keep hearing people saying "nothing to fear from team A/B/C". I hope for your other halves sakes you're not as premature in the bedroom 🤣 Teams are settling in and acclimatising in their first games, far too soon to be writing teams off.

Your comments are absolutely spot on regarding the 1875, it was always going to be the case that there were one away game wonders in the away end yesterday unfortunately.

Yes but theres barely any televised games, suppose they'll probably be accessible on the iptv though.

Do you sometimes do sit down wees if your pissed?

I'll watch it, but purely because there's very little in the way of domestic football on. My tip to win it - Holland.

Something else that pissed me off yesterday was nobody seemed to press their keeper at all, they'd clearly been told not to? WHY? He's shite, should also have been troubling him with crosses too but our few corners were appalling!

I've not even remotely calmed down yet after that absolute shambles. JDT must have been on the piss on Saturday, so many baffling decisions. He now has a big job winning back respect from us fans. I couldn't give a shit that we're 3rd quite frankly, I'd be literally amazed if we finish top 6. If I was a Wharton I'd be frigging distraught not starting yesterday. The only real positive was to my knowledge it passed off without many major incidents. A few coach windows went through but that's all I saw. Does anyone know if the chap that collapsed is ok? One of our fans was screaming at a policeman to get help and he didn't seem to give a shit, absolute disgrace.

I genuinely think Ben wants to stay and that he loves the club. He took a while to settle here, I doubt he wants to go down that road again at another club. He does need to test himself in the top flight, but I bet you he'd rather do that with us. Last chance saloon rovers.....

Carrick's doing a decent job so far....

Great minds similar....

We don't want to lose this one under any circumstance! The thought is unbearable.

Probably best to not pass stuff like that on unless you have a decent source

Mansfield? Those famous old rivals of ours. Is that because forest hate you?

Same breed as that absolute weapon who ran on the pitch wearing t-shirt and gloves and reckoned he'd fight Savage, soon shit himself when Stephen Reid and Nelson towered over him 🤣

Joey Barton the bullying little rat, stubs cigars out on youth team players and assaults 15 year old kids. Yet those gimps down the road love him, it says it all really......

I was taking the piss....

As expected they aren't serving ale at half time, given their last attempts its probably for the best....

Double time for the plod 🧐

Normally I would agree but look at the date here. Schools (round here anyway) break up the Friday before, I imagine a fair few people will also have finished work for Xmas. It's the last 16 of a cup competition, albeit a less prestigious one than the FA cup. Get through here and the likelihood is we're the last championship team in it, it should stir up interest and excitement.

Potentially one of the biggest gates of the season, potentially. Didn't expect to say that for a Carabao cup game but the timing of it is very fortunate. I think I'm more inclined to expect Swag to balls the pricing structure up though, again.

Why? It's as much part of Sunday as what happens ON the pitch so should form part of the discussion. This is much more than a game of football!

Bit of a dull draw but certainly winnable especially at home. If we get through there's a good chance we'll be the only non prem team in it....
