  1. Who is this ‘Laissez Fair’ we are linked to? he’s been mentioned a couple of times in the last twelve hours! Hoping tomorrow brings a few lackadaisical drops!
  2. Hope we get a permanent keeper in before going for Philip Seymour Hoffman otherwise Benny Ben Benson may finally get a game at some point! Shooting drills in pre season will be easy at least
  3. Didn’t this clown pants say a week back that we had agreed a fee for the Charlton keeper?
  4. Whilst I will say I wanted them relegated due to the way some of their fans acted it’s now looking bleak for Wigan Down to 12 players currently, they need an owner in quickly
  5. That blue is stunning I hope we get that shade, the red is horrible though which almost invalidates your first opinion!
  6. Cunningham was decent enough but not seeing him as an excellent loan signing, more solid than Bell or Williams but only played a handful of games including an absolute shocker away at West Brom where he cost us a couple of goals
  7. Well the ugly bunch down the road agreed to it but from Riberos Twitter Rovers haven’t been as forthcoming so far https://shop.burnleyfc.com/claretsstore/RIB171
  8. Interesting aside, Ribero had appealed for anyone who had a Wembley 92 yellow shirt to get in touch with them. Steven of New York Rovers ( @oaklandrovers on Twitter, used to post here I’m sure years ago) has sent one over to them. They wanted a sample to match the fabric to potentially produce replicas, apparently they have reached out to the club before to produce them but no response I would 100% buy one and predict they would sell better than any shirt in years
  9. So why did he keep playing him? Most of us could tell throughout the season he was no good, his command of the box on crosses is decent and rarely dropped a cross but overall he’s poor
  10. Be nice to see it at least though
  11. To me Brad Smith seems a sensible option, decent enough and won’t break the bank, seems likely
  12. Yes we finally got about an hour with him towards the end of the trip. The good guys in the club told us not to hold back (Ironically that became Paul Hunts undoing) . I along with others told him directly that he had a chance to turn it around but the fans were fully against the manager who was taking us down. I try not to comment on the owners too much as I never want to come across as an apologist but I am one of those that believe they are to blame but were mere puppets for people with sinister intentions. You only have to look at Balaji’s other enterprises, Bala Star I think was his Bollywood company, he threw flash parties with big celebrities etc, he’s as flash as they come and I think was seen as an easy target. When we went to Pune there was obvious shoots for Rovers to be big and they wanted it to be a success, adverts everywhere about ‘India’s premier league team’ the academy they set up and even a weekly tv show about us. Sadly when we were there a certain cigar smoking agent was as well, always there controlling things, making sure nobody got close enough to Steve Kean. Watching a youth tournament there I did an interview with DNA which is the local paper, I said how Steve Kean had to go and listed some replacements, Martin O’Neil was the popular choice at the time. The reporter walked away and we spotted our old friend and publicist intercept him, take his pad and cross out lots of what was said, the interview never reached the paper however one that Glenn did was there with quotes that weren’t said.
  13. Pretty sure they have played together! We obviously missed Dack, anyone would miss his talent and energy, think it’s fair to say Armstrong thrives in his absence though in a way we haven’t seen as much pre Dack injury Ps tin hat time but as much as Venkys put us in this scenario I’m glad they are stupid enough to keep paying the bills, the wider world is scary right now and unless there’s the perfect buyer in waiting the alternatives are worrying
  14. Cairney just reiterated what Bryan said, they’ve talked about Raya’s positioning specifically
  15. The sole reason there was a free kick in the first place is because of a Raya howler, for no reason he was 40 yards from his goal then misplaced a header so his mate had to take one for the team. Then it’s a clever free kick but Raya left his goal open and didn’t anticipate it
  16. I rate him, wanted him at Ewood this season he was awesome for Wednesday, solid no nonsense type
  17. Oh David he’s just had a shocker of a minute two stinking mistakes and Fulham are ahead
  18. Nixon says they lost and are relegated
  19. I also think Tosin will come back, he’s not likely to break through at City and if he’s shipped off to the championship on loan again then we’d be front of the line Davis at Villa when I’ve seen him is great at hold up play and does everything right until it comes to the finish that he often drags wide
  20. Still find the Whiteman stuff odd, Mowbray meets with him without a deal with his club sorted, then tells him he has a pot of money to spend but may come back to him later? Seems very arse about tit!
  21. The only exposure I had to Phillips was the goal he conceded in the play off final when the ball rolled under his foot but it sounds like he’s a quality keeper, made a lot of team of the year type lists for the championship
  22. A club with ambition throws blank cheque at Eddie Howe tonight
  23. Weird that we haven’t seen them yet Same kit supplier and sponsor and the season would have started this weekend, maybe some issue with them being stuck on a freighter or something
