    Match Thread Blackburn Rovers (A) Sat 16th October 2021 - 3pm KO

    Thank God we’ve got a game again - international break is so boring. What a fantastic following tomorrow, the atmosphere will be immense, disappointed I can’t attend. Even worse, I’m at a family party so not even sure I can stream it yet! I fancy a win, COH and Gyokeres to have absolute...

    Recommend a beer

    Not sure if it’s area dependent, but Lidl are running a beer festival from yesterday for a week I think. Went down to one tonight and selection is pretty good to be fair. Obviously no top level breweries, but some good ones and an interesting range of beers too. I picked up about 10 different...

    Evil Fuckers

    Absolute disgrace. Have to agree with some of the above, things like this deserve more than prison. I’m sure they’ll be a history or trauma or ill treatment or some previous experience that made the “parents” that way, but it’s really no excuse. Anyone who has reasonable grounds to suspect...

    Running

    Not posted for a while as been pretty frustrated re running, as I had to pull out of the marathon a few days before. Got a stupid injury on a training run and despite trying to recover and attempting a few practise runs, there was no way I could get through 26 miles. The positive is that I...

    Where can I find Love/Hate? Had a quick Google and I’m intrigued!

    Item Would you be happy?

    Absolutely not. I echo the thoughts of pretty much the majority of previous posts in the ‘No’ camp. Ultimately for me it wouldn’t feel like my club anymore. It annoys me now when we get plastic fans turning up, moaning and not knowing players names. That on a global scale would be absolutely...

    The Penalty

    As others have said the inconsistency is massively infuriating. Every week, dives (amongst other incidents that fall under this ruling) are discussed on a national stage, be it retrospectively on shows like MOTD or in real time on Sky/BT etc, so are very much in the public domain and therefore...

    Transfer Rumour Where will Max Biamou end up?

    tbf I initially found this post patronising and then downgraded it to slightly.

    Transfer Rumour Where will Max Biamou end up?

    Don’t understand your first point as isn’t that the case for all footballers? So by that measure no footballer could ever be described as a good/great servant? It’s not a literal description, it’s one of those good old football cliches that I felt fitted here. Don’t get the reference to the...

    Transfer Rumour Where will Max Biamou end up?

    He was a great servant to the club (at least by modern time standards) from L2 through to the Championship and did a job at every level, despite his lack of experience and pedigree compared to the majority of footballers. Whatever league or game we played, he always put his all into it, you...

    I don’t know him but I have too. What thread was this? Dubed was a good and balanced poster from memory.

    Away for the week and happened to pass an Aldi en route after reading this - surely a sign! I was also intrigued by the ‘Peeling Good’ - a jaffa cake inspired can design for a chocolate and orange stout. I’ll report back once sampled! The Cherry Kolsch also took my eye. Had it last night, was...

    Vik 🇸🇪

    We’re watching the evolution and development of a top class player. It’s genuinely a joy to watch him improve week after week. He’s absolutely our main man and it’s feels as though everytime he gets the ball something will happen, or at the very least he won’t lose the ball. Enjoy it while we can.

    Callum O’Hare

    His finishing is poor and he looks desperate for a goal, and while it’s not ideal hes undroppable. His ability to drop a shoulder, run at players and accept the ball in tight situations is really impressive. He excites me every time he gets the ball, and scares opponents. A great signing and...

    When are you going to get excited?

    Excited now to be honest. No reason to think we can’t carry on competing, especially as we just put played one of, if not the, best team in the division. Our away form is the issue, but I trust MR to adapt and rectify, so if our home form continues and we tweak the away then why not. The...

    Match Thread Fulham Match Thread - Sat 2nd Oct

    Looking forward to catching up with all the posts tomorrow. But have to say a real take home message; today proved that Wednesday was a blip and the performance today is our actual level. We’ve made so much progress, it’s impressive.

    Sheaf showed his worth second half. He was very good. Doubters may argue the game has dropped off by then, but he showed his passing ability, technique and overall what he can be. Maasten was solid both ends, not sure how he still has any doubters.

    And just to add to the high of the game, the Mrs is running late so time for a celebratory pint in Dhillons.
