  • Endless attack Scott Parker annoying

    I don’t even follow Burnley. They got over 90 points and all we hear from one of contributors is endless negativity .

  • Lads who know their stuff

    A couple of virgins who love the champo and have great knowledge of all clubs. Bounce off each other fantastically well and despite Justin’s word salads, it flows entertainingly from start to end. Keep up the good work boys. Up the Rovers

  • Not enough.

    Started off enjoying this but as a Blackburn fan I may as well not bother. If it isn’t Rooney/Boro/Leeds/manager sackings it pretty much gets ignored. Think it’s time to move on which is a shame.
