Sack it, I’m going to watch Married at First Sight Australia.

Callum Wright that went to Leicester.

Callum He dry?

For all the talk about the new style, this looks very much like a Big Sam tactic to me. I know the pitch isn’t good but it’s long ball after long ball.

I think he’s playing well here. He’s a lot better than Bell. His first 10 games for us he wasn’t good, but he was playing with very little defence ahead of him.

“It’s a mid table battle tonight” - nice to have a bit of reality.

Sam Gallagher playing well.

Think that’s the end of Nyambe.

Team news is - allegedly - a proper tombola job tonight. 352 with Bennett back in.

I’ve just reported your post, please could you take a look?

Death cycle is in full effect. Too early for the huge win - lose against Barnsley, lose again Forest then beat Watford is my prediction.

Cheers Mercer, there’s a bottle paid on with Tom for you.

Afternoon @Mercer, after a last minute menu change last weekend I have attached this evenings menu and await a wine recommendation. I’ll be in the Whalley Wine Shop at 6pm sharp, I’ll leave you something behind the bar for your next visit. With thanks, as always!

Gareth Ainsworth Damien Johnson Mark Hughes Nigel Pearson Chris Haughton Eddie Howe Garry Monk Ill take any of these at this point.

After 28 games - 18/19 - 40 points, 6 off playoffs 19/20 - 40 points, 5 off playoffs 20/21 - 39 points, 6 off playoffs

If we go 2-0 down the thread is closed and Mercer is drafted in.

I just hope we don’t end up doing anything silly. Like playing Dack as a false 9.

Update to follow on the wine review - sea bass changed to roast beef so we last minute went to red!

I’ll be doing the right thing and, based on @Mercer’s prediction, putting £10 on Preston to win. Proceeds will be going to Blackburn Youth Zone and if anyone else wants in, let me know.

Is it 1 hour of people going: “maybe... bloody hell we might do this... this is it... oh for god sake”? Because that’s the sound of my season.

I think from memory the 40% mention was in the LT. There was an interview when someone said we only signed him for 1.5m because of the sell on fee.

Especially when we owe Newcastle a huge percentage (I’ve even seen 40% banded around) of the future fee!

OK, well I’ll qualify it with a serious response, just incase. We’ve always changed thread titles. It’s just with the latest forum software you can see (or I’m guessing you can) who changed the title and when. When I say always, usually it’s not for attempted comedy like in this instance, usually if a thread goes off topic or details about a game change / aren’t included I will tweak the thread title to be suitable. I changed the title of the thread because I found it funny. I really enjoyed StevenSK getting wine recommendations half way through the thread because I was expecting chaos when I logged in — which usually happens when we lose. To his credit, Mercer took it very well and I’ve had a few laugh out loud moments this evening reading the replies. I’ve also found it thoroughly refreshing that the thread isn’t full of arguments and bickering. We’ve had two reports tonight in this thread, usually after a loss we’re closer to ten. I may have misjudged the situation, honestly from viewing the replies I can only see that you’ve found offence, if it’s only you then my honest thoughts are ‘so be it’ but if it’s genuinely upset anyone else please do speak or (either on private message or publicly here) and if the general consensus is that it’s not appreciated I’ll make sure it doesn’t happen again. Either way, as always, thank you for having an opinion. This website is run at this stage solely by a small sponsorship deal and volunteers, it’s sometimes great and sometimes a bit of a burden. We won’t always get it right but we will always try to do the best to keep the site going, improve on it and at a minimum keep the community open to anyone that wishes to be part of it and respect it.
