Blackburn may have the best kits in English football. Discuss.

Even with the money we've got, it's not possible for us to attract the very best players in the world but what we can do is get those players who are capable of making a difference against any team in the PL/Europe but maybe not do it consistently enough to be considered world class players and therefore not be targets for the Real Madrids and the Man Cities. We've had plenty of those players in the past; take Bellamy for example. No one would describe him as one of the best forwards in the world but there and then under the guidance of Sir Bobby he could make a difference against any team. Ben Arfa was such a player; his capabilty, ceiling or whatever was just as good as say, Eden Hazard, but not as consistently for different reasons. For this, Eddie, like SBR or Keeagan, is the right manager. Our recruitment needs to be bang on target; build a squad consisting of such players AND solid, consistent performers rather than players like Murphy and Longstaff who are neither, and we should be able to win cups if not league titles. I think we're on the right path with signings like Botman, Hall, Livra, Bruno, Tonali, Isak, Gordon but there's still some way to go and I suspect we need an astute tactician by Eddie's side rather than Jason Tindall. That won't happen though and Eddie wanting full control is a concern. He's great at getting the best out of players but is he great at the getting the best out of the team/squad? It has not looked that way for a while.

We haven't played well or been fun to watch so far this season. In fact I don't remember when we last did/were. I haven't looked forward to us playing for a long time and that's concerning. Feels like it's gone stale and that we need a boost of some sort.

It’s a serious situation tbh. Feel for him

He seldom plays or trains tbf

2-4 Bournemouth now. Kluivert penalty again

Ghost signing

1-3

Penalty Bournemouth. Strange one from the keeper

3 goals already at Molineux. 1-2 Bournemouth now. Good goal

Clearly not following football as I used to, had no idea Moussa Sissoko is playing for (again), and captaining, Watford. Caused a dangerous freekick for QPR just now.

Yep, I only saw the replay, he did nothing?

Brighton one man down

I see the madman Ferrero who destroyed Sampdoria has offered to "help" Roma. A pyromaniac offering to help extinguishing a fire.

Love Ranieri me. Would try to watch Roma a bit if that happens.

Throw Barnes on for Gordon?

What a fucking goal

Willock Our best player

We should be very happy Elanga didn't pass it there

Looks like he has weirdly short legs.

There are no empty clichés or platitudes, he's honest, eloquent and obviously intelligent. Being a good communicator may be overrated as a football manager but I love that about him. He's also hard working and always strives to improve, never content. He's the anti Steve Bruce.

Re: Mourinho: It's too late. The man is a has-been and our squad is totally wrong for him. It would make zero sense.

Nothing has happened, really, as far as we know. Shearer punched Gillespie out

Gyökeres nailed on for Man U now?

Alongside Bruno and Willock
