Just been reading the match thread on the dark side and there's plenty of comment on there about season ticket holders choosing to miss tomorrow's game because it might be a bit cold - bless - and it's live on the telly! Fuck me, I'd literally take the season ticket off them and beat them to death with it, revive them and beat them to death again!

Go to the game and take yer fecking blanky and pillow in case you want to put your head down. Talk about apathetic, I'm getting mad again, I think I might need to go to some classes for it 😡

I am looking forward to the game. My flask is ready to be filled with a nice hot coffee and a strong additive to aid digestion.

This is the scenario I envisage. We win all our remaining games this season and piss the league with a record points total (Burnley lose the play off final at Wembley in a penalty shoot out). The fixtures come out for next season and we're away at Man City on the first day. During the close season we poach Haaland from them. They try their hardest to keep him but he loves our kit, has found a nice property in Shadsworth and has made his mind up. They get Diaz, we get Haaland and 30 million quid.

Nil nil going into injury time, Diaz "misplaces" a back pass and instead plays in Haaland to score the Rovers winner right in front of our 20,000 travelling fans. Diaz rips his City top off to reveal a massive Rovers tattoo on his back, with the words "once a Rover always a Rover" underneath it.

Top of the league, a new record set, Burnley back in their rightful place below the most famous and successful club in East Lancashire and the most successful Town club in the whole football league - in history - ever - forever.

Who's going to ruin that?:(
If Carlsberg did Rovers matches ..........

For me, this is the game where the WLWL sequence bites the dust. I'm sure I read that the Mackems are struggling for fit - as in "healthy", rather than "appropriate standard for the Championship" - players. So I'm going for a 3-1 win, accompanied by a chant of "Tony, Tony; what's the score?" for the last twenty minutes.

Buzzing for tonight's game. I've got a challenge for any of our JWU and Riverside dwellers. You've got to get at least one song started tonight, anything in between Rovers Rovers ra ra ra and You're gonna get your fuckin head kicked in will be fine!

Time to enjoy being at the ground and making a bit of noise, as my Granddad used to say "you're a long time dead"...... he's dead now :neutral:

“Hark thou hear the Rovers sing
the Burnley* ran away
and we will sing for ever more
because of Boxing Day”

* replace with B’astards if you feel so inclined.

Last time I sang it was probably Ziga Zaga in the old DE! Can u rem that 1SG?*

* That is except for the very frequent 'Sheeeeeerah' when he scored and of course 'King Kenny's magic hat'.

We owe Tony a clap, did a lot for this club. He's spoken a few home truths and we've not accelerated as quickly as we'd have hoped but that is FFP related and the fact we are a small town club and restricted in that way. Hope we get 3 pts.

1-0 Sunderland is my prediction though.

So many reasons why we won't win this game.
Bottling the possibility to go top, the WLWL thing, the fact Moogs will come to Ewood ready to bore everyone to death, we are normally terrible on Skysports and so on.

Gotta go 1-1.
