You get the feeling sooner or later Barton is going to "slip up" and his exceptionally well paid legal team will struggle to do anything about it. Most "normal" people dont have such frequent interactions with the police and courts.

Ok I have had a mare there It's not quite that bad, bit it's still looked well offside.

He looked like he was even beyond O'Leary. Terrible defending though.

I am unsure. Is 6526 "nearly a full house?"

Too many passes misplaced, under-hit or over-hit. If you were rating players out of ten I'd struggle to find someone above six.

Blackburn preparations for this match

In recent months we have been often let down by our final ball. It seems the answer is to have the other team do that for us.

What are "plans", and why do you need them for a football stand? ....Asking for a friend

"Iconic season" eh Dan?

I guess we all find it hard to sleep on a coach.

If there were no wealthy owners would the "market" just not re-adjust itself in time. i.e. clubs would eventually end up living within their means and being a bang average championship pro footballer (maybe £10k per week £500K per year) would not pay more than being a surgeon (maybe £100K pewr year) *big cavbeat here these are googled figures ao could be way off, but the way football pays players is frankly at the point of being gross.

He looked it up online - the analyst team are now researching a dutch player called van der graaf

I fully support them moving to Scotland!!

IMO the issue is that it's not just Conway - this time last year fans were often also praising Pring, Tanner, Vyner, and Bell (to a lesser extent). All of these players were likely increasing in value and some were rumoured to be drawing admiring glances from other clubs. It would be hard to argue ANY of these players have increased in value this season, though injuries have palyed a part in this. Behind all of the players above we could see progress too in OTC, Knight-lebel, Leeson, Kadji, Araoye. It may be a false impression given by the fact that we see fewer academy prospects on the bench and getting minutes, but it feels like the very clear and much talked about "pathway" that existed under the previous regime has been covered over by the weeds.

I think that is worry many share. If Manning is still here next season we need the momentum moving upwards again in the summer.
