If it is the likes of Given, this must be about much more than tactics, after all, him and Harper never complained about the tactical ineptitude of the last two managers. As I see it, some senior players have been left in their own comfort zone for way too long, and now that Allardyce is trying to get them out of it, they are resisting it. Jaaskelainen seeems more and more appealing with each passing day.

The Sun are claiming that three players are revolting, and two are Given and Harper.

Jose actually does have a small soft spot for us actually, but I'd rather we stuck with Sam unless we really paddle down shit creek.

For the first time this season I am disappointed with a defeat because we deserved more and not because we deserved it.

Game over. Back to the drawing board.

Barton was very good first half but hasn't been there in the second half. He clearly isn't up to speed quite yet, and I think that has helped Blackburn a little.

.....how? Assist plus a brilliant goal line clearance. Do you have a brain? Haha how stupid. It will be down to the TEAM more than Geremi. You could count interceptions and saves from Given as important to the result as Geremi's contribution. no, because then he will have to praise given, which won't happen. Read my sig - credit goes where it is deserved, and criticism goes where it is deserved, and it would seem that Given gets more of the former, though it doesn't make it immune from the latter.

If we get anything from this, we have Geremi to thank.

Blackburn fans don't deserve it either, they are quieter than us even after scoring.

Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. We do not deserve this today.

What like the last one he took? Well in shooting range, smarty pants... Its no good being negative before the kick is taken. Each set piece is a carte blanche with no connection with what has happenned before. Robert used to feed off the positive energy in the crowd before taking his free kicks.

What like the last one he took?

To be honest, Bentley is someone I'd love to see us sign.

Fuck.

Wullie, go to the bathroom cabinet and take some laxatives. I want to give Blackburn a thrashing.

Key contribution number eight. Puts him joint top.

Second half now, its 0-0 so time for another carte blanche GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Martins!!!!!! Great assist by Geremi.

As I saw it, Rozehnal was put under pressure from an over heavy pass.

James would you please f*** off. I'm just stating facts. Given made two bad mistakes when we were passing the ball around that could have cost us. You're clearly not at the game, not watching or have some sort of prejudice against Given. He hasn't put a foot wrong today. So he didn't kick the ball straight in to Roque Santa Cruz And he didn't give Bentley the opportunity to shoot from 50 yards.

The funny thing is, I bet Bramble has been their best defender for the rest of the half.

Best players: Martins, Smith, Barton, Beye Worst players: N'Zogbia, Given.

Shay Given cocked up a second time then.
