Not worth it, thanks but no thanks. Enjoy the game, stay safe, may the best team win.

History says it won’t. If they’re within touching distance and spend in January they’ll go up. Same applies for us, Sheff United, Norwich and the rest of them.

You’re right on the borderline of moving from being a welcomed contributor from the other side of Pendle to an annoying troll. We’ve plenty of resident Dingles on here that don’t cause headaches, either stop causing them or we will stop you from being able to.

Operation Claret and Blue is underway.

I’ve just asked the same Q - can someone tag me if they are?

Is Hirst on?

Would be a good move to be fair. His style would suit them.

I’m a little concerned JDT doesn’t know the importance of next Sunday given he’s happy to risk BBD and Hyam. Kompany on the other hand sounds well prepared, I saw an interview today of him saying ~”I understand the importance of the Derby and won’t be giving our opponents any praise in the build up” when asked what we do well…

Lock the thread and concentrate on the proper game, folks?

From the short period of time when Kaminski was injured, he was actually OK when we didn’t expect anything of him. He was useless after he’d set a decent enough standard, if that makes any sense.

Review from a friend at the game: “He’s either finished or he’s finished under the manager.” If that’s the case, I hope the latter. I really really feel for him and hope he has success elsewhere.

Because she’s a woman or because you don’t like her punditry?

The top 6 will be dictated - much like last year - by the January transfer window.

Jheez, wait until Sparks sees that.

El Lanclasico is worth a listen

Brereton-Diaz like some would say.

Same applies.

Speak to @Herbie6590, there may be some spares if we don’t get returns.

FYI I play Football on Tuesday nights and tonight we split the teams to be Blackburn vs. Burnley. It was a draw. We conceded a last minute equaliser. Read into that what you will.

This will go down like a led balloon I suspect, but if I was a footballer for Rovers I'd be referencing Dack from both the management and the fans as the reason I shouldn't show any loyalty to the club. Some of the shit I've seen from fans - mostly on Twitter - towards his missus, who comes out of this quite well if you ask me, is unbelievable. Grown men calling a woman names because she's using her platform to express her fiance's disappointment, incredible really.

I did this on purpose because I found it quite funny 😃

A lot depends on the formation for me Speedie. If we’re doing the 5ATB thing that Southgate has done for so long, I think we can afford TAA’s defensive vulnerabilities if Walker is fit to cover. For me Shaw isn’t great, I’d prefer Chilwell but injury dictates he’ll be starting. Again if it’s LWB… maybe Saka. If we’re playing 4ATB then I’d have Trippier ahead of Walker and TAA. I’ve seen enough of Maguire and Dier to make my decision, although I appreciate Southgate will probably pick both. Same with Pickford… I just can’t select a keeper that’s letting in goals every week. I think my squad would be: GK: Pope, Ramsdale, Pickford DEF: TAA, Walker, Trippier, Shaw, James, Tomori, Stones, Smalling MID: Bellingham, Rice, Phillips, Mount, Maddison ATK: Sterling, Kane, Foden, Grealish, Saka, Toney … fill in the blanks with almost whoever you like.

Both terrify me as well, for what it’s worth.

I’d guess it’s nothing a lot of people haven’t already heard being whispered at the match. Dack was due to be on the bench against Sunderland but was taken off the day before after having a big barny about his stats. JDT thinks he’s not putting the work in, Dack says his stats evidence that he is… then he got Mowbray to push the message out that his stats are better than ever in his post-match interview, which went down even worse. His agent is now pushing him all over for a January move. Happy to be proven wrong - or it might be something else - its only whispers but a few people are all saying the same thing.

Their midfield three won’t let him play like that I suspect!
