Having been married 3 times, I tend to get anniversaries mixed up! I like to live dangerously!

It’s my second / I prefer to forget about the first

 

[Macca1987]

Third time lucky people say, I like to forget about No1 and No2 ex wives

 

[Bernie Rhodes Nose]

My wedding anniversary.
But as we both forget most years I will feign the usual forgetfulness, book my ticket, then just shrug my shoulders

We have much to learn

 

[mmttww]

Block five opened and nearly sold. Looks like the home blocks will be full. Forecast is for sunshine. No kids with me this time so I'm on the beers. Buzzing!

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

We ain't had a 6 nil yet fuck it I'm going for that, 5 nil till injury time then Rushworth will do a Ben Wilson and flop like a salmon to put away the 6th from a corner

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Wilson controlled it expertly with his knob if I recall

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Don't get too cocky, we're falling into the trap we accuse other fans of doing, boasting!!!!
Pretty sure Frank will have them grounded and in the right headspace.

Be a mix of that and also go and take advantage of playing with confidence

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Wilson controlled it expertly with his knob if I recall

Skimmed off the tip of his Corey into goal

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Bout 110 left

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

May have a spare ticket going for this one if anybody’s in need of it

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Too late , I had 6-0 first so think again

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

Sorry about that mate, I'll go for 6 nil when we go Ewood park well we've had 5 and 7 so I'll have to say 4.nil city with Haji getting two, BTA and EMC

 

[Gibbo]

29th December is an interesting wedding date

Worked well, timed for for when people were really fed up with Xmas family stuff. and gagging to get out. Weather was dodgy iirc

 

[mrtrench]

It's going to be much harder at home, especially now we have a reputation. They will put ten men behind the ball and we have to be able to break them down. If we score early it might result in many goals as they have to open up. But the longer they hold on then it could be any low scoring result.

I would not be surprised at 0-0.

 

[Gibbo]

I don't think the specialist but 2nd tier Eccles is an upgrade on a bang in form and energetic BTA, who is also more likely to score goals.

Inclined to stick with BTA. He's one of the three players who have most dramatically improved under the Lampard coaching regime - da Silva and Torp being the others

 

[Covcraig@bury]

That’s the spirit

 

[David O'Day]

Said 6-0 ages ago on the other Blackburn thread so if you're being like that time for you to pick another score

 

[Kilclines curly mullet]

I’d quite happily take a boring and scrappy 1-0

If we are serious this season we just need to keep accumulating the points.

If we are serious this season we need an absolutely ridiculous goal difference.

8-2 to us.

8 2 be you song aimed at Blackburn supporters.

Wright hatrick but to only get a 7 on match ratings because he was ‘wasteful’

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Said 6-0 ages ago on the other Blackburn thread so if you're being like that time for you to pick another score

5-1 then, but I’m still putting a £10 on another score that I may or may not have mentioned

 

[standupforcity]

Allen obviously

Allen over Eccles please

 

[pusbccfc]

Also, off topic, but why is the Ipswich game on 29th Dec a 6pm kick off? Is that right?

Birmingham v Southampton is on at 8:15pm that night too. Cold one!

Many people are still off on that date but it's still awkward for those who are back to work.

 

[skybluelee]

Allen over Eccles please

 

[edgy]

ANNOUNCE THE CHEAP PINTS

 

[JSL]

You have got to be joking

 

[Gibbo]

...thank God the international break is almost over

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

TV, I cannot believe it is kicking off at that time as it is not a bank holiday and down as a regular working day for me and many others (It just so happens I have the day off as my company give me my birthday off)

Tight turn around if you finish work at 5, may take a bit of a sledgehammer to the attendance

They'll be 30k there, a lot of places have either full or partial shut down over Christmas. I'm sure most bosses would feel fine finishing an hour early Christmas week

There's nothing going on to compete anyway is there, apart from visit the family you don't get along with, what's the competition.

 

[Gleneagles65]

Blackburn have under 200 tickets left to sell.

 

[alexccfc99]

Blackburn have under 200 tickets left to sell.

That is strange as I have never known Blackburn to bring a decent following to us in seasons they have been doing well, yet alone one where they are struggling

Pretty sure they haven't taken the full 2,800 allocation. I heard they were bringing around 1,500.

 

[Viktor17]

Yep don’t think they have taken the block next to our fans (as yet) so circa 1500 as you say.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Hopefully another 30k +

 

[alexccfc99]

Oh didn't realise it works like that, thought we just gave teams a lump sum of 3000 tickets and it was a case of them selling them
