I accept that the vast majority of EPL clubs have little chance of winning the title but there's still plenty to play for--the Cups and a number of Euro competition places. But most clubs are happy just to be in it, loads of dosh and every chance to be a giant-killer every month. Its individual games I'm really talking about, though, many games that don't excite the senses beforehand actually did on the day. And the Championship is worse as a competition, the top 2 are sorted before the season begins---parachutei payments.

I've enjoyed the Premier League this season. It seems to me there's a more inventive and attacking style these days. Used to be some very boring games with teams flooding the defence and hardly a shot being made. That's gone now, play is end to end, the goals open up in a twinkling of an eye, players shoot from anywhere. Clubs like Palace, Bournemouth, Wolves have no chance of winning the League but are really attractive to watch.

Other clubs either sell before the contracts expire or offer new ones. Its called protecting your assets. Its common sense.

The Leeds draw was a shocker because we completely dominated the game from start to finish and had the clearest penalty denied you will ever see. We should have won 2-0 and we deserved to. Things just didn't go our way in that run-in.

On that basis then get rid of every player we have.

The problem with that theory is that it can't go on. The budget gets smaller and smaller. What's the end point?

And whatever the owners do, you support.

You never cease to amaze!

One of our very best players leaves on a free and it doesn't bother you?

The difference now is that we produce them with the intent of selling them but not using the fees to replace them. That's if we get any fee at all

Fulham and Rovers were neck and neck a few years ago but look at them now. They have a billionaire owner but so do we! Their new stand, which has a setting directly looking down at the Thames is the last word in Luxury. Cost £100M and membership starts at £3000 a season but most holders are paying much more.. We can't even keep Ewood Park clean. We are left behind like rubbish.

Rovers have one "plan" only---to fleece committed supporters for as much as they can gouge them and to fail to even attempt to attract new ones. This is a sure-fire recipe for a long lingering death as the supporter base continues to age. Of the 7500 season ticket holders we have at this minute, what % are non-concession holders? I bet we struggle to reach the pathetic 4000 we had last season.

Wish I'd a quid for every time I've read that!

You think we're doing that already? Easy to please aren't you?

Legal fees!

He was a giant that night. And his career at Rovers ended too early for me. Some poor manager decision-making from Woy.

Jarndyce versus Jarndyce!!

Disagree. In fact--fucking unbelievable really.

Nevertheless.....!!!

6 players from that side would walk into our team now. 😨

I honestly don't understand how you can say that.

So as soon as the case is over, Venkys can put millions into the Club and we can get promoted. Have I got it right?

yes

2nd half, foot of the post,very low down to his right. I had given it up.

You did well! I was a wreck from start to finish. Such a shame we faltered towards the end and had to depend on Manu not winning. Best memory of that game for me was Flower's save.
