Blackburn Rovers v Aston Villa first 11 fans into the ground Pre-Match Thread

[Chris Jameson]

Needs a bit of tweaking:

So the team so far

Bannan

The McGregor statue
Richards
Elphick
Legion

Topless Lad from yesterday
other lad from yesterday
Mad turnstile operator woman in the North Stand
My 7 year-old

Cam
Wolfie

Can we fill in the blanks to make sure we pick a team fit for the game and the occasion?

I like the look of that team apart from Richards and Elphick, they would be an embarrassment to the shirt.

My son could play, he plays wide right midfield, good eye for a pass and has a few tricks up his sleeve. His mate could come along who plays in his team, he tends to either not maker any runs or blasts any chances hopelessly high and wide.

You could play too Chris, throw the kitchen sink at it. Or did the kitchen sink go too?

*checks she didn't take that as well*

libor deserves a run out up front

I found it to be a bit childist.

Thought that this kind of pedantic comment might come up. Ask yourself, is sexism a thing? Is childism a thing?

Top bants mate.

[Dave P]

Emergency loans to bring back Hodge, L**cott and Peter Enckelman. That should do the trick. Own-goal hero Richard Dunne would be the icing on the cake.

Play Scimeca up front

Wasn't his only goal for us at Ewood Park?

Sorry, I meant childish.

We pride ourselves on how childish we can be. If that makes me a childishist then so be it.

I'm struggling with the term 'Blackburn Rovers' being used.  In a previous life, I was a West Indian romany who perished in the great fire of London.  Or something.

That's fine, but please don't be a childist childishist.

[Chris Jameson]

You're not allowed to be childishistist and longer? I'm telling you it's political correctness gone mad.

[LeeB]

Won't somebody think of the childists?

[The Laughing Policeman]

Do they have #sadness in their eyes?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Three points and a wonderful performance will do me.

Same here.  And if by some miracle Villa also play well, then so much the better.

The reality is we cannot play a seriously weakened team. It undermines the integrity of the game and risks a heavy fine from the League.
Therefore, the team should just park the bus. I'd suggest Knutsford Services.

I've toiled with this - my initial and lasting reaction would be 1 game in our history to lose - not a great deal - 1 game to send the unwashed into permanent misery and grow the chip forever - priceless. However, what price the saving of the unwashed by beating Blackburn and being able to be their saviours? I think that has even more turmoil in their little heads. the Vile saved us.
