It's a pretty rare occasion when Venkys do something which ends up being to the benefit of the club, so I'm not convinced this will be either. I was under the impression, mainly from journo's and maybe even from what Waggott has said previously, that we were sailing very close to the wind with FFP but not actually in breach of it? Saying that, we were under an embargo earlier this summer, is this how we showed enough future book balancing to get out of it? Because selling Armstrong was no guarantee at that point. Feels like something that will bite us in the ass in the future one way or another.

**Has Junior Hoilett flashback**

That, Pogba's pointless 2 footer and Ronaldo kicking out all seemed to suggest they were basically trying to get OGS sacked. Also, some of the defending for their goals was diabolical, I mean I wouldn't even expect Rovers to defend that badly against Liverpool.

He's also (thankfully) stopped the possession based football he was so adamant was the best way to get promoted but that means we basically wasted however many seasons trying to play that way, only to change it this season.

Once Liverpool hit the 5th, I text a Utd supporting mate and said it must be OGS last game. Tried to think of a replacement and the only 2 names I came up with were Zidane and Conte. They'd be mental to stick with OGS and not go for a guy like Conte, even if he does demand a decent backing.

Utterly pitiful stuff from Utd. Players trying to get OGS sacked. Pogba's challenge that led to his red card was totally unnecessary, Ronaldo kicking out before that. Must be the end of the road for OGS now though.

It's more likely they would line up such a move and then pull the plug in favour of a cheaper, much worse option instead.

Can't remember the last time I was so disinterested in a game before kick off and even during. I barely kept up with the game at all. That said, happy that we won,just seen the highlights and Dolan took his goal really well. The loaner should have buried that well worked chance as well. I hope this apathy is only temporary because it just feels weird.

Another?

Th death spiral isn't done yet. We need at least 2 more utterly pitiful performances. 0-2

As yet, I can't find a single reason as to why they continue to own us. Their actions rarely benefit Blackburn Rovers football club and they constantly have to keep issuing money (or whatever the correct phrase is) to keep the lights on.

Down to 13th. "But we're only 4 points off 6th"

I feel like we've been here before 🤔

QPR deserved that. Fuck off Mowbray, useless.

Standard Rovers in the midst of a Mowbray death spiral, like they just met in the car park before kick off.

I can't believe we are going to let Nyambe and Rothwell leave for nothing. We won't be getting better replacemens.

"Time wasting" tactic, do we think? (A terrible one, mind you)

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at half time. "Don't worry lads, another 45mins and you can go home." **Shrugs**

Might make the game a bit more lively if they don't.

Was trying to work it out myself, I think you've nailed it though. Not sure how that midfield and attack are linking up though.

Can't until January, I don't think

You know the Tombola goes into overdrive on the odd occasion. In fairness, in the past when his lineups have been proper wtf moments, it seems to pay off.

Just when you thought it couldn't get any weirder, he starts Butterworth (great) and Clarkson (wtf) and drops Rothwell (eh?) Also, back 3 😫

Ha, cheers. I wasn't convinced anyone ever knew what it was.
