I think it’s a combination of being in the top 6 all season, a lot of derbies, plus the top 2 walking away with it so Sky decided to pick others in the play off places instead. Just a weird set of circumstances that will probably never be seen again - but of course once the new TV deal kicks in every season will be like this for most clubs…

So this season’s disruption will be the norm when that deal kick in then…

Around double or more than Luton, Millwall, Coventry and Middlesbrough. Bizarre and even more so when you think we weren’t on particularly much before the World Cup. Crazy amount in the second half of the season. Add red button games to it too and as a result, in my opinion, it will be a big factor if we see a substantial fall in ST sales.

Half 10 on a weekday morning, behind closed doors, at a training ground. 4am (UK time) on the Moon next season.

And he was living literally down the road from Brockhall, bet he couldn’t believe his luck.

He’d have been playing FIFA/Champ Manager 2003, wouldn’t he? Shocking stuff from Dacky.

He should definitely have known more then, you have an encyclopaedic knowledge of footballers when you are 10.

Aye, nowt particularly ‘barmy’ about the modern day Ewood crowd (well, apart from being still mad enough to go!).

Oh I get you. Yeah know what you mean now you mention it, maybe last season?

No, I can safely say sacking a quality and experienced Premier League manager is quite obviously not the best thing Venky’s have ever done.

Always been two separate chants, no? ‘Manager x’s blue n white army’ and ‘Uncle Jack’s Barmy Army’…

And the good versions of Marshall and Conway

Indeed, Allardyce Derangement Syndrome is a particularly virulent variant of the Mowbray strain.

Refer you back to my Chadster decision making tree… Did the manager/the club make the decision = Yes - so it’s the correct decision. End of tree.

Great piece about simpler times… https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/extra/DqkhZA6FP7/around-the-92-in-the-1980s

Hang on, you were calling him a dickhead who had to go three days ago 😁

Last 20 PL games for Lamps? 1 win, two draws, 17 defeats.

Good job brfcs is such a welcoming place then so they can regale you with even more Dingle insights…

Who’s paying his wages at that level? I’m afraid he’s here for the duration of his contract.

The panic in PL boardrooms this season 😁

£3 million for a months work? Who wouldn’t…

Convoys of coaches from north and south heading to Villa Park for the big PL 2 Cup final. 😁

Bloody hell do we need a guard of honour for those two or what? They get more than a fair hearing, all this because Longers was pissed posting the other night.

Yep that extra 4,000 or so makes a big difference at Ewood. The BEnd lower sells out and the JW suddenly looks very busy, and as you say you even get a decent crowd in the Riverside too at those numbers. But nah let’s keep plodding along as we are, Swag.

Do they? Thought they normally let them walk out the door for nowt…
