Yep, I don't like the thought of us being known as a club that can quarter fill a stadium with no atmosphere. But, whenever I go to an away game, I barely notice the home crowd anyway - usually the atmosphere in the away end is excellent with Rovers, so whether it sort of drowns it out I don't...

EDIT - sorry, you're talking about the 'moaners' not the collective JW crowd? Rest of the post is probably still valid. You've never seen the crowd in the Jack Walker clap or cheer a goal? Seems a bit of a stretch. I sit there now after many years of being in the Blackburn End Lower - it's...

In fairness, these were his comments straight after the game.... "We didn't start well, lost too many duels. That was really evident. Blackburn were sharper onto a lot of first and second balls than we were. When we did have the ball, we weren't good enough with it. We weren't able to break...

Is that true? I haven't seen it anywhere.... The cost of £100,000 - how many fans/seats would that represent? I'm not impressed by the penny pinching lack of foresight at the club - in my opinion this sums up Waggot - keeps his job by showing Venky's a balance sheet that improves year on...

And so, our Jekyll and Hyde season rolls on. In my opinion (and I have missed a couple of games already this season), this was our best performance by a mile. Something seemed to click and our play was quick, accurate, one-touch passing that often left Watford flat footed and floundering. The...

Come on then Mystic Meg, who's the Head Coach gonna be?

I was/maybe still am a bit dubious about Carvalhal, but his record since 2015 or so is pretty good. Sheff Wed play-offs twice in a row(they did spend money, granted), Swans ended in relegation but they were dead last when he took over 28th December and finished 18th. Then he's had two...

I think we're quite close to agreeing on most things B&WH - Just to quickly pick up on that quality squad though - I think you may be mistaking Bowyers first season - he did manage us briefly to keep us in the division in 12/13 (the Kean, Berg, Appleton, Black, Bowyer debacle), but his first...

4 of those players you listed were brought in by Bowyer with limited spending, and all sold for a profit. A slightly different approach to Mowbray splashing £12m - £13m on two players - Bowyer probably reached £5m in transfer spend throughout his time at Rovers, with a healthy return of £18m or...

He's been the best backed manager since Kean I would say. Armstrong aside, I can't think of a single player he's had to sell, he was given £7m for Brereton who's taken 4 years to make an impact, £5m on Gallagher (Jesus Wept) and considerable wage support to bring in fairly high profile signings...

Absolutely gut-wrenching, particularly with the other results going against us in extra time. I feared the worst after 15mins but we grew into it, particularly in the second half and never looked like losing once they were rightly down to 10 men. After the red card I thought to myself, these...

You'll have to explain that as well... Essentially, as long as he is in peak physical condition he can do what he likes off the pitch?

If you smack a child nowadays you won't stay in your job either I wouldn't imagine - certainly not a high-profile one like a footballer! As for riding a bike on a pavement or getting done for speeding... I know personally that you won't consider those to be a direct comparison to beating a pet...

It's 100% an issue for WHU and their response has been embarassing.
