Tomlinson isn’t up to it I don’t think. He’s looked weighty and slow when I’ve seen him. Travis, on the other hand, could be something, from the games I’ve seen.

When you consider how average Evans was last time we played in the second tier, alongside the fact that Whittingham was pretty poor, it’s probably not a bad signing. He impressed at Burton Albion too.

They’re in massive trouble if they don’t go up this time. They’re already in financial trouble for failing to go up this season, according to Boro fans.

We’re going to win the World Cup. End of story. Goodnight everyone. Hello hangover tomorrow.

How many full, 90 minute games did you even seen him play, last season?

I can’t believe he’s still on the books at Villa!

Until Gaz stuck 11 men behind the ball, against the mighty..... Yeovil, and we drew 0-0 . ??

Does anyone know someone who’s going? I’d like someone to raise it if possible. 4 people have liked my post too, meaning I can’t be the only one who thinks something needs doing.

I can’t open it. It’s saying something about it being removed.For anyone who can read it- has stadium maintainance been placed on the agenda ?

The ever reliable Brazil have now blown their first game- must have something to do with me having them in work’s sweepstake ?. I sense this World Cup is going to be wide open come the knock outs.

I’d have to agree. Getting into the Championship is good, but not exciting. It’s more about getting rid of the embarrassment of being in League 1.

So why can’t he do it for country then, if he’s so world class?

Just thinking that myself. Someone said we’ve only one of a handful of our opening games too, recently...

Edit

It’s not irrelevant though. To be world truely world class, you need to be able to perform in any situation, at any given time. Messi hasn’t done this for his country, without his Barcelona team around him. Therefore, that leads me to conclude he couldn’t do it over here. Additionally, you talk about him not being the player he had been and use the excuse about Maradona managing. Again, world class players are able to perform under any circumstance. Compare this, Ronaldo, who probably hasn’t had anything like the team Messi has had around him internationally, but still won the last international tournement, mostly by himself. Also, saying that Argentina’s side isn’t full of quality right now is laughable. The debate about both leagues is summed up the TV money in the Premier League and La Liga. Spain gets nowhere near the kind of money we do over here, for top flight football. Can you really imagine him scoring goals against Neil Warnock’s Cardiff or Mark Hughes’ Southampton? He’d be flatten within the first 5 minutes. The physical nature’s of England is well reknowned. I highly doubt he’d be walking goals in.

Messi has played in La Liga all his life. The only time he’s done anything is when he’s played at Barcelona, against teams in La Liga. With all due respect, the majority of teams in La Liga practically roll over when they play against Real Madrid and Barcelona. When he’s played for his country, he’s done very little to note, in comparison In my eyes, Ronaldo was pretty much the finished product when he went over there. The fact he’s gone over there and scored more than a goal game tells you that. Could he do that over here? I highly doubt it. The reason for the obsession of considering whether Messi could play in England is the fact that the standard of the league is more intense and physical, than over there. I highly doubt he would be able to.

He’a bang average without a world-class Barca team around him. He’s proved that time and time again for country. Put him at Crystal Palace and he’d do absolutely nothing. I even think that if you put him at Man City, and I still think he’d struggle because of how he’s built.

I think it ultimately shows that Ronaldo is a far better player than Messi. I also think it highlights how poor La Liga is. Yes Ronaldo is playing there currently, but he’s performed it in the Premier League too.

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/football/every-championship-transfer-confirmed-done-1674585.amp This is every transfer so far in the Championship -up to and including Thursday. It’s not just us that’s moving slow chaps!

You can add Wigan to that list- Paul ‘Gobshite’ Cook and his team won’t be able to get away with their bullying again this season. Swansea dont exactly look in a great state either currently. That’s 2, and I bet there’s more.

Because he’s well passed it. I honestly think it’s a waste of our wage budget, especially with how tight it is. This has got to be one of the quietest summers that’s I can remember- I’ve given up checking the Blackburn Rovers News Now sight- it just feels like it’s the same few players being linked. Although I’m not worried yet, without a few fresh faces, next season will be a battle again. One wonders what a signing might have done for season ticket figures too...
