The way Grayson sets your teams up will suit us away from home. Plus we're three out of three on TV under Caldwell (five out of five if you included the featured FL games). No idea why I'm so confident mind, just got a good feeling about the game.

Could possibly have something to do with us not winning at home for 6 months.

Aye, I imagine those TV cameras will be the deciding factor for this one, David Prutton providing his expert punditry at pitchside will give your boys a massive boost.

Further proof of what a useless sack of shit Derek Shaw is.

One of the key events during Shebby’s tenure was the involvement of Rovers' managing director, Derek Shaw, who was characterised by Rovers' own barristers as a rogue element at Ewood Park, in signing off a lucrative contract which paid off the sacked Rovers manager Henning Berg in full.

The fact that he had made a mess of the contract, causing substantial financial loss to the owners was well known, but Shebby in an email dated 15th April 2013 drew more light into it.

[DS – Derek Shaw; HB – Henning Berg; PA – Paul Agnew (Operations director and former club press officer); Karen Silk – the then club’s finance director]

“Because of DS making a mess of HB contract and not wanting the Owners to find out, and after issuing a payment of half a million pounds without authorization from the Owners, Karen asked for an advance payment of the next parachute payment to pay the balance of 1.6 to HB and that is when the Owners found out and tasked me to sort it out.

That is what I meant by irregularities which I said in the press. PA got his mate DS on a plane and flew to India uninvited to beg for mercy. DS confessed to the crime of lying and cheating. She is resigning because she cannot work with DS and PA doing things behind the Owners backs. They are crooks and she like all of us cannot understand why they are still there. There is no financial problem as the Owners put money in every month. That is a fact. The club accountants came to Ewood to try to understand as to how half a million was spent without authorization and to see if there was any more thieving.”

Your wage bill has been massive until this season (probably still is in the top half), Venky's are nowhere near as bad as you lot make out, they've backed you since relegation but parachute money has finished now so you're feeling the effects.

Can't account for appointing shit managers.

Too early to call next Friday's game a relegation 6 pointer?

How much are we charging you? Wouldn't be surprised if we've gone full whack considering you'll take the full 5k. We paid £25 at yours I think.

£23 at Barnsley & £25 at Wigan, about as good as it gets in this league.

Doing all of them guaranteed.
We've got all those as well bar Huddersfield. Was going to miss QPR to save some cash and now they've made that £10 a ticket. Unfortunately we've got the worst away in the league for our last away day, bloody Reading. :(

Been before in the Premier League, horrible horrible away. Vowed to never go again even though we won and have a really good recent record at the Mad Stad. Leeds at home on the last day for us could be carnage if anything is at stake for either side.

Contemplating whether to drink in Wigan on Saturday or go to Manchester early doors.

Should be a good away day, I fancy us there.

Simon Grayson will have been at North End for 4 years on Saturday, took us from plummeting towards the relegation zone in League One to top 10 in the Championship.

220 games
100 wins
69 draws
51 defeats

Hasn't always been smooth but he's done an outstanding job.

Freedom to drink where you want in Manchester though, going on the train to Wigan, you'll no doubt get marched like cattle to a designated pub.
