Looking forward to the England squad announcement tomorrow. I wonder who’s made it and who hasn’t.

Just pause it… there

They really need to think about the fans when they schedule these kickoff times

@_billyreid Different Michael Jackson

I've got a Dangerous feeling about our next game vs Burnley and think it could go Bad. I hope it's not a Thriller, we get the job done early and our attack doesn't stop till it's got enough.

@ChrisMartin_93 Can’t believe they named a volcano after what I say when I stub my toe

You’ve got some unfinished business, son. All I’m saying. #Rovers

That’s an incredible job by Michael O’Neill and the players available. Lots to learn from over the summer but if O’Neill stays there’s a chance to build on this.

Liam Rosenior fired 106 days into a 2,372-day contract. That’s some impressive level of forward planning.

@SamLee You won though?

I did a sumo wrestling experience a fortnight ago and the level of helplessness that I felt trying to push a 200kg guy (and a 110kg guy!) is just about how I would feel having to be either Gabriel or Haaland in those battles

Antonin Kinsky looks like a minor two-episode story arc character in The Sopranos who’s given the job of stealing a truck full of deli hams but tries to keep some of the haul for himself, ultimately getting his comeuppance

We’ve done alright there but there is also the strong impression that we look like a plucky League Two side making a game of it against Championship opposition. Just zero quality where it matters.

Hold me closer Kevin Danso

@MikeyDelap He’s been superb. If we stay up he’ll have played a bigger role than anyone in the run-in.

We keep saying “Adam Forshaw being one of our best players is a damning indictment of the rest of the squad”. Whilst that’s a valid argument, it shouldn’t take away from what is a lovely story of a maligned, written off midfielder having an Indian summer he very much deserves.

@BenCrellin Your move @danielstorey85

Here's my updated World Cup schedule spreadsheet. Sorry to the 2.5k people who bookmarked my last spreadsheet - I didn't notice that FIFA changed the kick-off times for Brazil vs Haiti and Türkiye v Paraguay a couple of days ago. There are now 17 different kick-off times! #gid=0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

Keep getting flashbacks to before the game yesterday, having a pint next to a table of Spanish fellas all wearing Arsenal goalkeeper shirts with “Kepa” on the back. Felt like an omen at the time, wonder how the rest of their day went…

Me when I forget how much rice to put in the pan

Celebrations where everyone just runs everywhere are unbeatable

Last year Forshaw looked like our least capable player but a decent older head to have in the squad. Now he’s our best player by some distance. That tells you everything.

@_ElliottJackson Reinforces what O’Neill thinks about the squad, quality just isn’t there to make us competitive

No changes at the break. Wild. #Rovers lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25928597…

@MikeyDelap If we win on Wednesday it’s quickly forgotten; if we don’t we’ll probably look back on these two games as the performances that sent us down

The right outcome for that game was 0-0. A dreadful performance from Rovers - like every player was running in treacle. Did little to deserve to win, but thank god they salvaged a point at the end. The only saving grace, but desperately poor.
