Talking Points

I personally think there's barely a hair's breadth between them.

If we'd lost that last game against Millwall, JDT would have finished 2 places lower than Mowbray the previous season, if we'd drawn it he'd have matched him, but as we won it, he beat Mowbray by 1 place. But he got exactly the same points as Mowbray in 2021/22, whilst we scored 9 less and conceded 4 more.

There's the argument that he did better than Mowbray in his first season, but there's also the argument that Mowbray gave him a great platform to start with (unlike the dreadful state of the club from top to bottom that Mowbray inherited). There's also the fact that Mowbray's new team pipped us to the play-offs.

All things considered, IMO they're virtually identical in ability as managers. They're both good 'uns and if you ask me many Rovers fans don't appreciate how good we've had it in recent years. But if I absolutely had to choose one, it'd probably be Mowbray.

And I’ll make the same post again!

”It took TM five seasons, JDT has improved on that in one.”

..... with Mowbray's players.

And got more out of them performance wise in my opinion.

Heartily sick of reading about levy's shenanigans over the Harry Kane saga. Bayern should pull out (and along with the much lower profile ash Phillips scam) it would serve as warning to all not to touch a spurs deal with a barge pole. Might encourage Joe Lewis to sack him off too.

Early days but I (dangerously) predict that Harry Kane will be a flop in Germany. He looked decidedly downcast every time that I saw him during the defeat to Leipzig.
Next up Liverpool might get rid of Klopp before the season is over unless he can somehow get them able to defend. Also time to bin off salah if they can find a buyer. There's no 'I' in team and he isn't the player that he was.
Congratulations to Alan shearer who on Saturday has had the best birthday presents ever. Mags top of the prem and Harry Kane off to the bundesliga.

I predict Kane will score at least 30 in all competitions.

Well I could easily be wrong as he's already got one and also an assist so he's off to a decent start. It's just that first match his body language appeared like he'd rather be anywhere else in the world than on Bayern's bench.

I think he was annoyed at the greediness of some of Bayerns strikers who wouldn’t pass to him when he was in a better position personally.

on the bench?

The game against Werder Bremen.

I can understand her reluctance to uproot her family so soon after giving birth to a 4th child. She'll need her mum and her friends close by.... and I'm sure Harry can make alternative arrangements in the meantime.

Not knowing Harry of course but I suspect that he won’t be.

Poor old sparky. Im absolutely amazed that he's done nowt since he left us. The other two haven't broken any pots at reading either. I'd love to know the back story behind their successes and failures. There must be one.

Another coked up dickhead bites the dust.

Not even going to bother reading that inbred rag. Funny though that they make a thing about the managers involved previous clubs! They really are obsessed with us.

Bloody scousers again.... who are they going to blame now I wonder?

Should see him off.

Never liked the player, it seems Fergie was right.
