Got a little emotional listening to the radio 5 summariser praise our football in the second half.

Arte et Labore, lads.

It certainly is a golden oldie, Mike. I have the record (vinyl) of Gerard Hoffnung addressing the Oxford Union sometime in the 1950s where his version of "The Bricklayer" was hilarious. He also tells an equally hilarious story about written replies to queries about holiday accommodation from Tyrolean landlords. e.g. "There is a French widow in every bedroom affording delightful prospects".

There was an episode of Mythbusters where they tested the veracity of the tale (first fourteen minutes or so)

Well something like this was going to happen sooner or later.

I hope Van Hecke comes to us…if Broughton has identified him and Tomasson rates him.

Also Brighton just sold Cucurella to Chelsea for £60m so they might be a bit short in defence…

I assume DeeCee was talking about how we had two captains for a while under TM, with I think it was called a Team Captain, and a Club Captain. Think it was pretty much brought in just for the sake of Bennett or Mulgrew to feel important when they weren't getting in the team, I forget which of them it was.

I have a recollection of it being used in Hughes’ time with Nelson/Samba (possibly to encourage Samba to sign a new contract?). I assumed it wasn’t a regular thing.

It speaks to his arrogance that he thought it was acceptable to fuck off on a bike ride half way through the meeting. Where did you cut him off? I imagine he didn't get far😀

Artist’s impression of the meeting:

My only issue with Sam was his approach to playing the big teams.

A 4-0 loss to Liverpool with Samba up front, and that 7-0 to Man U with Venkys watching stick in the mind.
At least under Hughes and even Souness we would have been competitive.

Add me to the 'cautiously optimistic' group. Has said all the right things in his (short) time with us, but the real proof comes with the signings, the lineups, the performances and the results. He's got responsibility for three of those things, but the other lies with Broughton, and ultimately, their paymasters.

A little surpised JDT mentioned Waggott selling the club to him. I wouldn't trust Waggott with a school tuckshop.

Were Citeh just trolling Liverpool for 70 minutes?

Jemini starting their song an octave out of key didn't help either.

Realise I'm in a minority here, but lovely to see Sam Ryder top the jury scorecard. Obviously we weren't going to top the public vote for Ukraine (and I should know, the wife and I both voted for them), but it shows what we can do when we put a bit of effort in.

Fairly mind blowing how many heads it's managed to go over, and are outraged. 🤦‍♂️

That might be funnier than the original tweet. 😆

Ah! James Brown, I remember now. Profile strangely absent from the offical Rovers site.

Would rather have Buckley playing at RWB than Johnson as a false 9.

Big game for Gallagher, if he plays like he did second half at Derby, well...it would probably help if he;s central.

Who's Brown?

Regal himself is refuting this. Says he's healthier than he has been in years:

I could listen to him talk for hours. Certainly belongs in the conversation of 'best wrestler never to win the world title in a major promotion'

After listening to him talk on Jericho's podcast, I hope my above comment is true and he is healed up now. Certainly deserves it.

It's not looking good. According to Nash (on instagram), they're going to turn off the life support after his family gets there 😟

Didn’t know about the health issues, though I’ve heard him comment several times how he considers himself very fortunate to still be alive.

If we're dreaming, a couple of non-league teams.

I swear there was a LET back page around that time announcing Batistuta and Suker for £15 million (so after Shearer left?)

Decent in MF for Ajax in CM 99-00 but not fondly remembered round these parts.

My brother once told me he didn’t take a dressing room prank well, after Hendry and Sherwood superglued his street shoes to the floor…

Cesaro may be going the other way after his contract ran out (so no non-compete clause either)

For all the talk about roster bloat in AEW, if you get the chance to sign Claudio, you sign Claudio.
