Old Darwen Blue

Prediction Champion 2021, 2022 & 2023
“He said: “We’ve looked at the season in detail with the players this week and in 11 away games we’ve kept nine clean sheets, which is phenomenal. But we’ve not won enough of those games if I’m honest. That’s something we have to address.” O Neill.
Maybe that’s because you have a negative boring approach to football then? Come on out and attack us and give us a game Michael, you know you want to!

Come on Tony, the six fastest players at the club up front today please, we won’t need any defenders. They won’t leave their own half.
😊😇😉
 
Oh, I feel hot hot hot this morning. Hot for BB 🥰

I also have this warm feeling that the other BB is going to strike lucky so I am going for him to score with a threesome in a 4-0 home win.

Feeling hot hot hot😍

Well they screwed up our unbeaten run record in the late eighties so let’s screw theirs up.
I remember that well ODB. For all the wrong reasons, it was like a war zone.

PS. I have just seen the above post by KBG so am nipping off this message board for 5 minutes!!!

The Table never lies.

Football Managers have been known to tell fibs

There is no way in the known universe that we are better than or deserve to be above Norwich, Bournemouth, Brentford or Watford and maybe Swansea or Boro under Warnock.
In fairness we don't have their wage bill either. All those with the exception of Brentford who I think have a sugar daddy have all been enjoying parachute payments. The 'Have's' in this division certainly make life difficult for the Have nots. How it manages to retain such wonderful competitivity is amazing.

5 mins? I don't think you'll last more than two shakes and a shudder with that lady.

Stoke latest signings seem like there trying to add a bit of flair to there pragmatic style,let's hope they don't score early doors or we might be in for a repeat of the game at there place.The new lad should play in defence,I hope Davenport keeps his place and Travis starts.

So KBG‘s prediction of a BB threesome may be stretching it a bit unless he comes off the bench to score three.

This is an ambitious roll of the dice. I sincerely hope that Tony has got it right. I am now glass half full rather than half empty and therefore predict a 3-1 win for us.

As usual I have probably screwed up with my prediction.

The only way to all but guarantee a Rovers win is to predict a defeat.

One suspects this game will be one any neutral would be turning off. Our sideways ticky tacky versus the spongey sitting deep. Yawns!

Though on paper our starting line-up looks quite good. Why isn´t "Stokie" Ben starting against his brothers? Mowbray´s got that bit all wrong AGAIN!

1-1 with an extra yawn!

Why is Douglas starting again??
I thought that was obvious. To get some experience both sides of the 18 year old. I doubt Bell will be able to 'think' for a youngster. Strikes me that he can't really think for himself.
