There are 2 for some reason but those are the links.

Merry Christmas all. Let's hope we all have a very very happy new year 🔵⚪

If we go up then he still needs relieving of his duties.  Otherwise he will take us straight back down 

Give over, if he takes us up with this squad then he absolutely deserves a crack at the big time.

He should have been sacked last season whilst we were on that terrible run, I think everyone could see and agree on that at the time, he himself looked and sounded like he was waiting for it too.

But my God has he turned it around, fair play and I'm happy to hold my hands up and apologise. The players are quite obviously busting a gut for him and each other and we have a very realistic chance of making the playoffs now. If we keep playing as we are I even fancy us to give the top 2 a run for their money.

COYB.

Is Ben Brereton Diaz of 21/22 better than Adam Armstrong of 20/21?

Yes (in my opinion of course!). He's an absolute animal on the pitch and off it the crowd absolutely adore him. Arma was good but I don't think the crowd took to him half as much as we have Diaz. 

Trigger the extension and sell him in the summer if we don't go up. We'd be bonkers to sell him in January with the table looking how it is at the minute! 

It's also no less than £20 million. He's an absolute animal!

Hmm, I'm wondering if it was a tactical yellow to make sure he doesn't miss the Argentina/Brazil games further down the line 🤔

As much as I would absolutely love Jones to come back to Rovers, surely the only way this would happen is if Lenihan went in January?

On the national news last night, the nation of Chile ponders the important questions facing the country, such as "Why we Chileans love Ben Brereton".  

As a huge Brereton fan I just want to thank you for the updates from Chile 👍 Keep them coming!

So what does Ben Brereton Díaz want?

Does he WANT to continue playing for Blackburn at all, regardless of whatever contract he is offered, or does he want to move on to another club?  I'm only asking because I don't know.  Maybe someone here does.

I don't mean to be overly dramatic, but one thing that needs to be considered is that the Ben Brereton of May 2021 is not the same man, let alone player, that he is now in October 2021.  He is a new man and a new player.  His rebranding of himself as Ben Brereton Díaz now is proof of that and indicates to me that the player also thinks of himself differently too.   

Up until this northern hemisphere summer (Copa América is played in winter from a southern perspective) he was just a young man from somewhere in England struggling to make it.  Now he has been catapulted to international fame as the entire Spanish [and Portuguese] speaking football world knows who Brereton Díaz is, not because he is a novelty anymore but because he scores goals and is a DIFFERENT player.  The consensus is that his value is going up and up for every ball he touches when he plays for Chile and his exploits for Blackburn Rovers as Brereton Díaz have not gone unnoticed.  He has also put Blackburn Rovers on the South American map, as only the Premiere League is followed by most.

Would someone whose professional and personal life (general good fortune) have changed so much in 6 months want to continue playing for the same team as Brereton or does Brereton Díaz want a new team to go with his new identity?  Regardless of what he has done in the past, he is having a wonderful present.

I would love to know what you, who have known him so long, think HE would want to do.

I personally think he will sign a new contract with us. However, a footballers career is a short one and he is currently riding one hell of a wave. If a top team came in for him for a large fee I don't think anyone could blame him for taking that opportunity. 

Ben is in action again tonight/tomorrow morning Vs Venezuela. 1am kick off our time.

Premiersports and freesports have the UK rights.Chile V Peru and Chile v Paraguay are on Premiersports 2 and Chile v Venezuela is on Freesports next friday.

Brilliant thanks for that!

Call me mad, but does anyone know where we can watch Chile Vs Peru tomorrow morning? BBC showed the Copa America on the red button but think it'll be a bit more difficult to legally watch these upcoming games in the UK?

We keep hearing the likes of Sharpe saying we've been 'trying'. Who has? Seriously WHO is actually trying to sort these alleged deals?

It's called sitting on the fence. They're good at that.

Sharpe gone very quiet ..something brewing ..??..(or f*ck all happening)

Has he ever broke a transfer story before anybody else? Always seems to be the Pete O'Rourke guy on Twitter that breaks our transfers and Rich and Jaquob pick it up immediately after from what I've seen. 

Morten Gamst Pederden headlined a band called ' The Players' when he was playing for us. There was a proper music video but it looks like it's been taken down now but the song is below!

Mowbray has said he'll only make essential changes. I'd expect that to be Ayala to wrap him in cotton wool and maybe a couple of others.. maybe he'll start Eastham? Apart from that I think it'll be pretty much as you were from his comments on the official site.

Does he ever attend games ???

I don't think , I would recognise him if I saw him....

He was there on Saturday. I won that Twitter competition for the Recoverite executive box and he popped his head in.
