Get close to the play offs and we know the rest.

Yeah Raya had a few clangers in him as well. The reality is the standard of keeping in the lower leagues is abysmal across the board.

Bugger

So Gallagher and Bennett are the weak links who’d have guessed.

If that’s real. I could get on board with it if jack is behind them looking down in disgust. Also re very good owners over last few years comment. Too little too late. It’s like someone shooting you in the chest then giving you some bandages to make up for it.

Please say someone’s taking the piss with some photoshop equipment. Surely they haven’t done that whilst manacling JW to a railing. It’s totally believable they’ve done that though but don’t like seeing them there even as cardboard.

Will be interesting to see how we get on in empty grounds. We seem to have precious little lambs playing for us who think they should be excused from any criticism. So could work in our favour plus it’s not exactly like we’re roared on at home or put massive pressure on the refs. I reckon a good feature on that ifollow would be in the last 5 minutes a vote on what noise to play at full time. From full hearted ovation, apathetic applause, murmurings of discontent to hostile booing.

The irony of that would be the criticism Mowbray usually gets is when he’s unadventurous or negative.

I’ve done myself no favours watching archive footage of when we had decent footballers at the club (even 2 different stints in this division). That looks a grim xi.

365 I think it said.

De Chambeau has averaged 345 off the tee this week. He’s carrying it 330.

Off work this coming week so looking to fill my boots whilst avoiding home duties. So having not played this year decided blow the cobwebs off this morning. ?. Since I was a junior I’ve hit a long ball off the tee but today that just meant heading into the wilderness diagonally.

I went a few years ago. It’s bordering on a bit of a dump internally, but its definitely worth a visit as an iconic ground. Weirdly despite Milan having so much football history, didn’t see a shirt until 50 yards from the ground. All in all decent long weekend Milan fairly generic city but short train ride to the lakes and almost guaranteed there’s a game at the san Siro.

Naturally some of my most treasured possessions come from 25 years ago. Or as it has been referred to recently “can we put some of that crap in the garage” ?

I was 12 and went to Anfield with my dad. They could only get 2 tickets and unbeknownst to me at the time my grandpa said he’d rather I went than him. Glad he made that sacrifice. My main memory afterwards were how emotional all the “grown ups” were. As a young lad probably didn’t really appreciate the miracle it was. Even at that age probably been to Wembley 4 times including that ridiculous 45 minute job. When we got back to Blackburn went to my grandparents house and she’d decked the house in flags and bunting. Gran was giving me champagne and my mum was saying as his mum I’m saying he can’t drink alcohol and my gran saying as your mum I say he can. Can’t remember who won. Perhaps gran did after all. ? ? Think my old man then went to the woodlands where I’m sure he said some of the players came afterwards. Might be wrong.

We’ll bottle it even in a virtual game.

I’d go with the palace game. Also the 1-1 vs West Ham that was seemingly the result that deemed Kean good enough to get the managers job. A hefty defeat there and who knows what might have been.

In fact during this isolation I’ve been rereading the Mike Jackman Blackburn Rovers the complete record. It ends season 2008/09. If there’s another one from then to the present day it may as well be sold in the horror section.

Yeah. That’s why I feel sorry for the young fans of the last decade. Genuinely trying to think of highlights during the Venkys reign. For me: - Kean leaving. (But they still never actually sacked the lying prick.)Celebrated that like a trophy win - Promotion from league one. (In a fighting over the crumbs kind of way). - Someone hitting one of the Venkys entourage with a snowball. I think some might include beating Utd away or staying up at moleneux but on both occasions I personally felt a bit sick as knew the porcine toad would continue to fuck us over long term (as ultimately happened). Cant even think of a great cup win. Did we beat Arsenal maybe. I know we “upset” the likes of stoke and Swansea but meh.

One with his left, one with his right and a header. 9 mins.

Where was that from? Really annoyed me that. He’s no idea what went on before he arrived. But any idiot can see mid table premier league team before owners arrived to mid table championship (as an improvement) isn’t great. He probably couldn’t even point to where Blackburn was on a map before he got on board the gravy train

I thought newell was decent enough for us. Sure let’s saux has his reasons. But in my opinion for all we quickly signed better players I think his signing showed the fans and the footballing world that Jack meant business. Most expensive player to go to the 2nd tier at the time I think. In his subsequent years as a manager he showed himself to be a man of integrity by shining a light on what we all know about football that it’s a dirty corrupt business run by criminals in suits. As a result he became a football pariah.

As a teenager I thought Phil Jones would go on to captain England for a decade. Arguably a career that hit its peak at 17-19 years old

Patrick Andersson. Ordinary player for us briefly who went on to play for Bayern and Barcelona.

If taking David James as the benchmark of top 10 all time prem keepers. I think keepers that were better than him omitted from the list are brad, jasskelinen, southall, Schwartzer, Howard, martyn, flowers. Literally off the top of my head. Rovers, Bolton, Boro, even Leeds and Everton aren’t really the clubs they’re interested in considering Allison and Ederson might ultimately be judged as top all time keepers but I could keep goal for Liverpool and Citeh in a deckchair such is their dominance currently.
