Blackburn Rovers v Derby County
Ewood Park
Blackburn
1500
7 Dec 2019
Often this match thread struggles to say the same thing in different ways. Once again I'm summoning up all my enthusiasm to be perky and optimistic for an away fixture which once again gives the Mighty Rams a chance to add to their solitary away win, which occurred when most of us were watching it on TVs in warmer climes of Europe. That's how long ago.
Krystal Bielek, who has become more instrumental and pivotal in our performances is a doubt as are others. Look, I don't know who is going to be there, much less the formation. Last Saturday v QPR was confusing which drove to consult fellow fans on WhatsApp about what was happening
They didn't know either.
Tony Mowbray - what a dour stalwart - leads Blackburn, so really we should know how they are going to play. We just don't seem to react and adapt to opposition - no thinking, no communication. Let's see.
Team news from our stalwart in Norfolk or Shropshire.

Ramdini, I remember BC's first season well and fans weren't moaning because he was a breath of fresh air in a previously moribund club. He got us excited and improved players and got us to the League Cup semi finals where we put up a good display against filthy Leeds.
It was also the "Summer of Lurve" so we were all cool and happy.
When you say the next season was much better you should say it was bloody unbelievably fantastic. We were in wonderworld and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. My favourite season ever 68/69.

My first season. I had no yardstick to measure it by so I assumed that what I was seeing was the normal way of things.

Just for a few years and then back to normal.

Oh by the way Vidal, don't get too upset about all this negativity about the NHS, I know it can't be nice when you seem to get criticised all the while in the press. Mrs VC had spent many months this year in the Royal Derby and has had wonderful care from the staff. It is greatly appreciated by my family and I. Thank you.

Vidal, You do magnificently in an impossible task with resources lagging far beyond demand - deliberately by this bad and likely to get much worse government very soon.
The NHS and the BBC are the two most important benefits of living in GB. Both Institutions are being destroyed slowly and as craftily as possible. In extreme embarrassment over stealing the reporter's phone (with the picture) Boris threatened the BBC with losing its license fee, having already placed on them the burden of old folks free TV licence. Don't know why? Considered by a few as being too good for the common classes I imagine.

Johnson is a c*nt Ramdini, end of story.
I notice the Tories have kept Rees-Mogg quiet, wasn't his old fellas something to do with the BBC?

Haven't seen much of Dianne Abbott lately.
Jacob's pater was editor of the Times.

And co author of the book the sovereign individual. A book which shows where Jacob is coming from. Basically it says that the wealthy in future will be able to free from such inconveniences of tax and the consequences of their actions on society.
De Pfeffel hides away from journalists in a refrigerator. Also hid away from an interview with Andrew Neil. What a coward, like his idiot friend across the pond captain Bonespur. Both are so similar. Serial liars, misogynists, great sense of their own entitlement, deluded about their ability, fat, stupid hair and cowardly. They could be clones.

Not only that, basically he hid way from Andrew Neil, who was his former boss and drinking buddy, who had already primed him with the questions he was going to ask

I'm not a spiteful person, but I have no sympathy for anyone who votes for Johnson today and subsequently gets royally 5hit on from a great height.
