Sheffield Utd v Rovers: 20th August 2022

Global winner of the 2021 Christmas Quiz 👊🤩🤩
The morning after the night before 😔. That 3-0 defeat tells me that we need some more strength in depth and with some urgency. I took of couple of tinnies of Northern Monk ‘Death Wish’ (aptly named) into the West Wing of Chez BB yesterday and was looking forward to a pleasant evening listening to Rovers on Radio Blackburn. How wrong I was 😳

Apart from the dross on the pitch can someone please have a quiet word with Simon Garner before I burn his t-shirt. PLEASE please please stop calling us “Blackburn”; we are the “Rovers” 😱🤯🤬

To get some perspective if you asked Rovers fans at the start of the season if they would be happy with 9 points out of 4 games they would have snapped your hands off. We are now 37 points from safety so I would say it is a good start.

Our Carol however was not in a good mood last night. I was hoping to see her ripped waist, nicely toned from her daily gym routine. However it was not to be, she had “a headache”, presumably JDT will also suffer a similar affliction this morning. Carol’s headache trauma was also shared by the excellent turn out of over 1,200+ Rovers fans.

CAROL SAYS “NO” TO BB CREATING ALL SORTS OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS

What made last night even worse to stomach was that it is a team managed by Paul Wince and also another former Rovers cheating bastard got lucky with a misshit goal…..

As for Saturday we may well need the Salvation Army before, during and after the game. I cannot see us getting much out of the Steel City boys.

We need a rousing rendition of the following from the massed ranks of Rovers fans ( maybe not ‘massed’ at £33 a ticket):
‘Onward JDT’s soldiers, onwards as to war
With the cross of Diaz, going on before’

You must be used to my useless facts over the last few years 😊. Did you know that Sheffield FC (this one: https://sheffieldfc.com/) are the oldest football team in the World? Secondly they don’t play in Sheffield (and they have), they play in Dronfield. Finally Dronfield is in Derbyshire and not South Yorkshire. You should squirrel those facts away so you can astonish friends and family.

I now have an excuse to share my favourite squirrel photographs 🥳🥳🥳

JDT is having the boys in for extra training this afternoon. I have it on good authority that he is concerned at the lack of penalty shouts and is going to give the lads some training on stimulation* techniques to help improve our scoring opportunities.

JDT WANTS IMPROVED STIMULATION

All that matters on Saturday is that we put Wednesday behind us and we move onwards and upwards. As they say in Government ‘shit happens’, you just have to move on to the next game in this marathon of a season.

I reckon Rovers will show a marked improvement against the Blades and only lose by 2-0.

Love, kisses 😘 and enjoy the ride.

Sadly on seeing the team sheet I’m predicting 3-1 to United. Hope I’m wrong though.

Next week, I'm going to have a punt on the outcome of four games in different codes.

Geelong AFL
Cronulla Sharks NRL
Rovers Football
Sydney AFL.

All to win. Be interesting to see what odds I get.

The first three play in some form of Blue and White, Sydney play in red and white (but they are my local afl team)

Hopefully we'll be well up for this today, there's no team in this division we can't beat on our day - as well as lose to tbh - so let's be positive and go for a 2-1 Rovers win.
