Yeah Sunderland played really well that night. The only tam to keep up a high tempo press for 90 mins. I was a bit scathing of them at the time as I thought they should have shown a bit more ambition in the last 10 mins instead of time wasting, but in the end that point got them in the play-offs. I ...

Explained above - but to get it down to 20, the ones that we thought wouldn't get many votes were excluded.

Not really that bothered, but struggling to see the logic tbh.

Well my favourite goal of the season isn't even on the list!

Connor Roberts v Huddersfield at home.

24 pass move culminating in a side foot into an empty net, pure poetry and everything we are about as a team.

Interesting set of stats on the season as a whole

Looking at the numbers, we should try and sign Gyokeres if possible

I'd take whatever Tella said with a pinch of salt. Southampton might want to sell or keep him, and we might want to look elsewhere if the price is too steep.

Other than the Blackpool goal, has he made another error all season? Seriously impressive for the position he plays in. The best midfielder since Defour

Iconic because people in the Bob Lord are actually off their bums and on feet!!!

Least they weren't on the pitch

Do I need to have watched the other recent Marvel films to follow this one? I tapped out of Marvel films of the last three or four years because they were beyond awful, but thought GotG 1 and 2 were fun.

Lucky you

Btw saw this at the weekend and it was amazing

Ric_C

Generally, something needs doing in the club’s media / PR department. Some of the post match interviews have been toe-curlingly bad over the season. Credit for the launch videos, but mistakes such as the ones identified above simply are not good enough and will make us look like pathetic amateurs n...

Blimey, last night was a massive win for Forest. I think Everton are pretty much on the way to safety now, but who knows?

For Leicester it's all on the last game.

Can't see Leeds picking up a win. They may need 4 points to stay up due to poor GD

Ric_C

First part of business:

Beyer on a permanent.

Maatsen, I'd see where we are at. If the price is too steep, we should look elsewhere, and although it pains me to say it, the same with Tella

THB.. it depends on if Kompany is looking for another CB like Kouyate with a bit more physicality

Ric_C

I've noticed his positioning and general catching / shot stopping has improved as the season has gone on as well.

Obviously a different ball game in the Prem, but it is encouraging

Ric_C

I noticed when he took the corner near the end, Josh Brownhill was saying "take your time" to him. People forget he's still raw at this level.

I also really liked it when he attempted those long rangers. I said before the free kick that he'd got his eye in now

Ric_C

Running on the pitch was - sort of - accepted as an end of season tradition back in the previous century, but for all sorts of reasons including player safety it's been correctly banned for years. I seem to recall that we've had a number of incidents including assaults on players in the past. But a...

Also remember the sh!those point Sunderland got at the turf when they wasted loads of time? That cost Rovers a playoff spot

Ric_C

Used to love this show when I was a kid.

Anyone remember when Greavsie was ill, so Peter Brackley stood in for him as his spitting image puppet?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBeiuFf ... el=Mooncat

Ric_C

I'd say that's almost spot on. Beyer for Lockyer and Giles for Manning I'd go with.

It's hard to not include any of those front 4 tbh

Ric_C

The two main things we need to upgrade in the short term: 1. General facilities 2. wifi / reception For the longer term, one way to increase capacity at minimal cost is to put rail seats in the Longside lower. I think this would create a better atmosphere in general. Also somehow if we were to re-de...

The arm can’t be offside.

Yeah but the pojnt is, it feels a bit weird that the arm can't be offside in this instance when it is the furthest part of the body in the way of the goalkeepers view.

Ric_C

The following was utterly unthinkable when I started watching Burnley: Winning the championship Beating Rovers To do them both on the same night in their own back yard is breathtaking. I'm never going to get over it. Totally agree. My 16 year old self in the mid 90s, could have only dreamed that so...

Ric_C

Thoughts on this? Surely the arm out there is offside. That line looks really dodgy to me. Or are they doing it from the strikers foot?

Surely if it's an offside call where they are impeding the line of sight of the keeper it should account for any body part?

Ric_C

How about instead of "Allez Allez Allez" we sing "We went and won the league" it might give it a bit more of a unique feel

Ric_C

Taking the emotion out of it, I've watched these over and over and I can't pick a favourite out.

Ric_C

I really hope the club put out some decent communication of what is happening fairly quickly. As in an itinerary of what will occur and when. All I want is the trophy presentation at the end of the game in front of a full house, maybe the players introduced onto the pitch one by one, then a lap of h...

Ric_C

As the season has gone on, especially from escaping tight situations from the back, I've gone from nervous to very confident we will play ourselves out of trouble. It's almost therapeutic to watch at times. There was one move in the second half yesterday which would have been goal of the season cont...

Ric_C

The thing with lookalikes is that you can only get so much from 2 pictures, it's more about mannerisms and expressions. As per the OP i think it's a fair shout. Both look occasionally gormless :D I always thought AB de Villiers and Danny Ings looked extremely like each other, but again it's more in ...

Thought both centre halves played very well today

Sunderland's injury time equaliser is bad news for Rovers as they would need to win one of their last two games now to finish above them

yes, the Rotherham manager was going mad about it a couple of weeks ago when his team were trying to celebrate a draw with us.

Lol

Ric_C

They should have gone down last season, since then they have sold Gordon and Richarlison and not replaced either

Ric_C

So does Muric get the golden Glove if we finish with the most clean sheets?

Ric_C

As for Dyche, I'm wondering if he should have done a Howe and had a bit more of a time out to study current football trends. I think he's stuck in his own rut that he has created for himself really. The writing was on the wall when he wouldn't play Jack Cork last season, and he reverted to type. I r...

Ric_C

The fact that Southampton are pretty much down after last night means that

Any two from these teams will also go down

Forest - Spent £180 million
Everton - horrible fans
Leeds - horrible club
Leicester - just annoying

Which to me is hilarious

Ric_C

Jeez it looks like they've had enough of Dyche already. Not sure where he goes from here if they get relegated. Perhaps his time has been and gone?

Ric_C

The Blackpool game was kind of a line in the sand moment. We made a rick for their first goal and the fans were a bit jumpy for the rest of the game. Don't think we let in another goal all season from playing it out from the back. It showed the players and fans were trusting of how we were going to ...

To the tune of Tom Hark

Definitely. That will scar them for a long long time.

They won 5-0 but we've now won six in a row. Has that ever happened in the history of the derby?

Ric_C

Come on Zaroury hasn't been poor, he's just not been brilliant.

He'll be on it tonight

Cmon OP what's it going to say then?

I’ll never forgot the day he stripped Quo for pace at Northampton. You’ve never seen a slower foot race

That was the home game I think if memory serves

Ric_C

I'm sorry I'm sick of everyone saying this. We may have time wasted in the prem but we never did it to those levels yesterday, or other opponents this season

Ric_C

Luke O'Nein is a horrible little turd

Ric_C

Half tempted to bench Zaroury and Benson and bring them on after 60 mins. Risky strategy, but could be a game plan to keep it tight and them sucker them when the game opens up

Ric_C

Strange game, spoilt by a crazy second half where the ball was hardly in play, and we went too gung ho chasing the title. For a team who has a lot of possession we are desperately missing a number 10 to link play. It feels like the plan is just spread it to Zaroury or Benson hoping they provide a bi...
