I don't think the pen was as clear cut as it looked. Jota moved his body across and Holding just ran into him. Very clumsy, but Jota has previous for that. And Salah is a massive cheat too. At the end of the season that might be the point that wins them the title, but the way City are playing, it co...

I'd say fabinho tbh.

Ric_C

I wouldn't mess with him tbh

Ric_C

Odds on a red card in this game. Ref is a bit of a homer

Ric_C

Leeds look like they over pressed in the first half, and they've been blowing on empty in the second

Ric_C

I've said it before, but Leeds' goalie is ****

Ric_C

Imagine if Leicester, Everton and Leeds went down

1-4 lol

Ric_C

Neither team can defend set pieces

Ric_C

You can't help feeling that in instances where there is "contact" in the box, there is enough wriggle room for refs to side either way on a whim, especially when big clubs are involved

Ric_C

Can't run
Can't head the ball
Can't shoot
Bit arrogant
Misses big chances

...Presses well though

If we can get anywhere near the money we paid for him, take it and reinvest

Ric_C

Leicester lose this and you really do fear for them. I know what you mean. It would be absolutely hilarious if they went down. And good for us of course. Everton going down would be funny as well, although I find myself rooting for them when I watch them play. I want Bournemouth and Southampton to ...

What a moment this is, brought a tear to my eye

Burnley get promoted and this the pointless nonsense on the OPs mind.

Eh?

Win at ewood
Get promoted

Thats all that matters

Tbh not losing at Ewood and keeping up our unbeaten run against them would be enough both, although a win would be great.

And the title obviously, not winning the league from here would be a bummer

Ric_C

Would Dyche have got the Leicester job maybe if he'd hung on a little longer?

Ric_C

If we draw against Sheffield Utd and match their results from now, then the game we can be crowned champions is QPR at home. I've never seen us win the league at home so that would be magical.

The next game after that... Rovers

Ric_C

Can't blame Sunderland for adopting them tactics if they qualify within a point for the playoffs they'll look back at last night & see it as a mechanism which enabled that. Yeah but if they really wanted to have a chance of the playoffs they needed to go for the win I think. Thought it was a bit st...

Ric_C

Average performance against a team that kept up the press for nearly 90 mins. Probably the first to do so this season. Ref was awful and played into their niggly tactics. Hope we never get him again at the turf, he's absolutely useless. Muric 6 Roberts 7 THB 6 Beyer 6 Maatsen 6 Cullen 7 Brownhill 6 ...

Ric_C

We did a lot right last time we were in the prem, but we also did a lot wrong. The main issue for me was due to some high earners, we gave fat contracts to players who were nowhere near at that level. We stood still for too long and didn't invest in youth. Last time: Pro's Upgrading the training gro...

Ric_C

Don't know if it's off the back of the City game, or this ticket fiasco, but I find the general Rovers fans new found arrogance at the moment somewhat staggering.

Muric
Vitinho
THB
Beyer
Maatsen
Cullen
Cork
Brownhill
Tella
Benson
Barnes

Got a feeling he'll rest a few of the players who have played and travelled a lot over the past ten days, so Roberts, Zaroury, JBG, Ekdal (if fit) could be on the bench.

Ric_C

Not sure why the club are getting it in the neck when Rovers have created this ridiculous situation.

What this sorry tale has done is cement my utter distain for them as a club.

Cowards

Roast beef
Pickled onion
Flaming hot

All three are gold tbh

Ric_C

Every team who have tried that have been hammered, so good luck Tony!

Ric_C

Couple of points to note from watching it on the TV. As others have probably said, they had an extra days rest, and it showed in the second half If we were going to attempt to go toe to toe with them, surely we had to play Muric. Felt like that was the main mistake from VK on the day We are getting ...

Or you could just not sink to their level and leave them to sound like imbeciles.

Exactly this, Blackburn, PNE, Blackpool etc sometimes all they can sing about is anti Burnley songs. No need to stoop to their cretinous level.

No Nay Never plus a lot of gloating songs will do me

Ric_C

We will be stronger next season. VK will be with us for 3-4 seasons. I'm fully expecting us to give a few teams bloody noses next season.

Enjoy the ride

You'd have thought what with all the fancy tech in the stadium nowadays, the new owners would have called for an immediate overhaul of the official website to make it easier for fans to use.

Ric_C

Neither good enough for the Prem.

Pukki has great movement but misses a lot of chances.

Not sure McBurnie is the answer tbh

Ric_C

Another stroll in the park. What I will say is that Ekdal's back pass was slightly unfortunate as he got a slight nudge in the back, and I think he was worried about getting injured on the astroturf. Yet another game where we had the cigar's out for most of it. And this is without Benson, Jay Rod, T...

Ric_C

I think the truth lies between two stools tbh Are Utd a better team with Weghorst in it? - Yes, however the previous two number 9's in Ronaldo and Martial are two of the laziest footballers ever without the ball. Remember how well Utd were doing before they re-signed Ronaldo? Put Kane in that Utd te...

Ric_C

Nice that Wigan have a tough midweek away game before playing us. Readings home form is pretty decent too.

Ric_C

I quite like them tbh

Ric_C

Injuries and a lot of games catching up with us. Hopefully will be fresher vs Wigan next saturday. UTC

Can someone with a better grasp of numbers than me tell me what needs to happen to be promoted at Sunderland and Champions against Sheffield United.

I did a thread on this a while ago

Really hard game to mark. I know it's a cliche but them going down to 10 made it harder to break them down, it was basically a training game of attack vs defence for the second half. The travails of Foster and Obafemi tonight show just how hard it is to lead the line. Shows how good Barnes has been ...

Think that footage is slowed down due to the camera tech at the time maybe, it was a lot faster in real life

From the replay its obvious but not in the stands

As well as Barnes mouthing, "it's your goal" to Anass when he hugged him

Ric_C

Just looking at the fixtures and how they are panning out, if the gap stays the same between us and 2nd/3rd over the next 5 games, then these scenarios could play out: Potential promotion Promotion by winning at Middlesboro on good Friday (mainly because of the 6 point swing) Or if we have a bit of ...

I've watched the replay several times and concluded its deffo zarourys goal, had Barnes got a touch it would have put a different spin on the ball, as far as I can see that doesn't happen. Yeah, it's defo Zaroury's goal. Perhaps to the lazy eye at opta they somehow thought the touch off the keepers...
