The Copa America is always a good watch, most of the countries dislike each other and it shows in the games. Loads of juicy incidents last night, but BB Diaz had a smashing 20 minutes on the pitch. I reckon he’ll start a game soon.

Brilliant break and pass by Ben

Fantastic experience for Ben to be on the same pitch as Messi and Di Maria.

Any player who makes 50 five yard accurate passes and runs 15km in a match will have brilliant stats. Anyone who sits in midfield and sprays 5 thirty yard killer passes, of which two lead to goals won’t. Which player would most people want in their team?

City had Tosin out on loan for a couple of seasons, why not H-B? He might even be enjoying his time here for all we know, Tosin did.

I’d be moving heaven and earth to sign Harwood-Bellis on loan again. Bobby Moore like in his reading of the game.

Elliott is a liability when he’s in our half. No idea how to play in his own half.

Once teams qualify for the play-offs they tend to relax and play a weakened team to save their best players for the actual play off games. Anyone playing a team in that situation shouldn’t be written off, eg Rotherham v. Barnsley and Brentford.

TM feeling sorry for himself about not having Dack is likely to be rubbing off on the other players, who are clearly feeling sorry for themselves about not having the Joker of the dressing room around. Deal with it, stop making excuses and get on with it the lot of you. Alternatively, just leave.

Final away game of the season, Rotherham v. Blackburn Rovers for who stays up........only one winner then, and not the away team.

It’s not a coincidence that 5 of the clubs in the top 6 are managed by Continental managers who are light years ahead of their British counterparts in terms of coaching and tactics. The same is true of PL clubs. If we are to change manger, we must look abroad for a bright, young manager with new ideas and football philosophy.

Elliott very poor so far

The India v. India one day series will also be held in Pune at the back end of March after the test and T20 games, so don’t expect our owners to be too bothered about BRFC with all this cricket on.

Great result for Rotherham, terrible for us.

You need to ask a Bolton baker about that, E. Lancs bakers didn’t make barmcakes.

And a beautiful thing!

My dad was a baker in Darwen, then Great Harwood where I lived in the baker’s shop. A teacake in the Blackburn area doesn’t have currants in it, that’s a currant teacake. Basically made from white bread dough but cooked off the bottom of the oven on a rack to distinguish them from oven bottoms which are. Teacakes are for putting bacon on, currant teacake are for toasting with butter on. Both drunk with a cup of tea, hence teacake. Ashton’s bakery on Heys Lane still sell proper teacakes, not a currant in sight.

Rib injury

TM has lost the dressing room judging by the temper tantrums shown by players getting subbed, and the lack of effort on the part of some of them.

That’s a very good point, his drop in form could be a key reason why we’ve been struggling.

Thank you for your concern, but I don’t feel like I’ve had the piss taken out of me, just a slight inconvenience with a refund at a later date due to the decision of someone at the EFL.

If you didn’t buy a season pass, why are you so bothered about it?

Much as I like Arma, it was clear today that Pukki is on a different level. He was a menace throughout, not giving our defence a minute’s peace. His work rate is phenomenal, showing he’s not just a goal scorer. Top player.

Maradona, a true football genius, who combined his fantastic talent with an unbelievable will to win. What he did for Argentina, Messi can only dream about. It makes me laugh when people talk about him cheating with his hand of god goal as if it’s the only time cheating ever happened in the game. There are zillions of instances like it in football history.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Lenihan is missing at Luton, a few of the Republic squad have tested positive for Covid, four at the latest count.
