BR has probably hung himself


On the brink.

I gave the team the benefit of the doubt after the Forest game, 0-0 would probably have been fair, but this......this is just completely unacceptable. Very worrying.

Quite a depressing time for Spanish football.


For the league's competitiveness then maybe, wouldn't mind their national team though

Huddlestone gone to Hull apparently.


Should be a good signing.

I can't imagine Crystal Palace forking out £8.5M on Dwight Gayle is that good thinking.


I still can't believe that actually happened.

I see Jelavic has bagged a few this pre-season. Might have a better season this time around than last season, new lease of life.

0-0 would probably have been fair. Neither team really created many clear-cut chances. Their goal came out of nothing, it's not like we were hanging on or anything.

What happened to Nuno Gomes?


He got released at the start of summer. He barely played after about October last season, I liked him but he'd have been on a fair hefty wage.

Middlesbrough have been desperately poor all 2013, well done Stanley though.

Well we've been pretty successful since the start of the Premiership in 92, title win, couple of top 4 finishes, couple of other top 6 and a League Cup win. So it's pretty annoying how all the hard work to keep us as a solid, mid-table Premiership club was just thrown away in the space of two years.

BUT we're a town club, and many would say that bottom half Championship or something is a natural level for a town club without a huge fanbase - which is around the level we were on average before Jack Walker.

Like I said though it's just annoying what's happened given how comfortable we were in the Premiership. It's gonna be very hard to return there too - city clubs with a much bigger fanbase like Leeds and Notts Forest have found it impossible for years upon years now.

Will Hughes was a different class today.


Aye he was. Good job for us that Clough was so negative and took him and that Russell off to try and shut up shop.

Very nicely taken goal by Best, he was poor last season but hopefully that'll give him a boost now. No idea what was going through Marrow's mind for their penalty. Him and Lowe in the midfield is a terrible combination.

Rovers kick off in 45. Rochina and Rhodes upfront which I'm really happy about. Defence looks strong too, midfield less so. Come on Rovers!

Blackpool (play-offs)


They'd have to get rid of Ince if they want a chance of a play-off spot.

I've just read that Dwight Gayle cost Crystal Palace £8M.

EIGHT MILLION POUNDS.

13 goals in the Championship ffs.


Seriously??!! I thought it was £4.5m for some reason and thought that was mental. Never mind £8m.

Had a feeling something wasn't right there - Milan couldn't have picked a worse line-up, barely a reserve team with the exception of a couple. Still decent for City though.

Agree totally about Cassano, think he'll have a very good season. World Cup year as well. The Inter v Spurs second leg last season showed he's still top drawer when he feels like it.

I thought the same about Udinese last season and they still came 5th! Although the shocking campaigns of Inter and, depressingly, Roma helped them.

I think Juventus will win it again yeah but they should have more of a challenge from Napoli, Fiorentina etc. Maybe Milan although they haven't really strengthened over summer, Galliani always seems to be happy with what they have. Mazzarri at Inter will be worth keeping an eye on, but their squad isn't top 3 quality IMO. (Never thought I'd be saying that 3 years ago).

Strootman and Benatia should prove to be good signings but unfortunately can't see Roma cracking the top 3, agree with you there.

Roque went to the same school as me and was a member here about 2008, iirc. A bit controversial at times.

We were poor today. We couldn't get near Everton and they were only playing at about 70%, 80% imo. Shows how far we've fallen. A comfortable Premiership club destroyed by clueless Indians and one drunken Scotsman. Makes me sick.

but will be going to Derby away next week and Carlisle in the cup are you ?


Nope don't think so haha, will watch Derby on TV and then I don't fancy a midweek trek up to Carlisle haha. Fair play to you though that's a good effort!

Fulham I'm worried about, looked dire towards the end of the season.


Decent shout actually, forgot about them. They had a terrible run of form.

Never thought I'd see the day!

Got Everton at home in a friendly today. As annoying as it is that what was an average Premiership fixture a couple of years ago is now some sort of 'prestigious' friendly, I'm going.

ha ha cheers also yeah they weren't good games the one at Ewood was awful Shittu just headed everything away.

Yeah would agree with that he did and they all run around and Williamson looked good towards end of last season but is very injury prone and yeah he has said he is looking for more midfield players. And ha ha he might depending on how much Rochina plays and ha ha yeah ! Where is your season ticket to sit for the home games ?


Yeah it was terrible wasn't it, Appleton's tactics just seemed to be 'lump it forward' and Shittu got there every time. We made him look ace.

The Williamson and Jones partnership at the end of last season was okay I thought, steady enough for the Championship, but as you say he's injury prone and we didn't get Jones permanently. I really like Rochina, he can be frustrating at times but he's so naturally talented. Just needs to improve his decision making and he'd be a hell of a player. DJ Campbell could be out for up to 2 months BBC Lancs said

I sit in the Jack Walker upper tier near the Blackburn End. Not the best atmosphere but the atmosphere is poor in every stand now, apart from that top corner of the Darwen End. You?

West Ham will be nowhere near relegation as long as Big Sam is anything to do with them; 10th last season and 10th in his final season with us.

The promoted teams could be up against it - the teams that were near the relegation zone at the end of last season like Norwich and Newcastle should be better this season (although you never know with Newcastle). Sunderland could go either way.

Norwich have made some good signings but I can't see them getting a European place, there's already basically a top 6 in place unless one of them f*cks up, and if they do it'd probably be Everton taking their place - although of course nobody knows how Martinez will get on yet.

yeah same got a season ticket also go to quite a few away games probs about 12 last season including Ipswich and Bristol City what you reckon to our chances this season ?


Ah good effort! I went to 7 away actually, forgot about Millwall in the FA Cup. Trying to erase those two games from my memory, particularly the Ewood one.

Hard to say really, Bowyer deserves a decent chance after rescuing us twice last season with two good spells. I'm still a little worried about the midfield, Lowe, Marrow and Williamson will all put a decent shift in and work hard enough but there's nobody really there with any technical or creative quality. Thankfully it looks like Bowyer is trying to bring somebody in. Didn't include Dunn 'cos a) he may have to play just behind Rhodes and b) I'd wrap him in cotton wool until Burnley away in September!!

yeah couldn't go mate but listened to it on Rovers player. Sounded ok didn't deal with Kevin Davies too well, did the Campbell injury look bad ?


Haha yeah Kevin Davies always seems to score against us - very glad therefore he didn't go to Burnley, they were linked with him.

Couldn't tell what happened to DJ exactly but he looked in a bit of pain, Bowyer said they'd assess him to find out more. Hope he's okay, he looked a lot better than he did when he was on loan last season.
