Loven...

Nationwide man is playing Mike Ashley.

I didn't know that there were compensaiton packages for such a scenario, who pays the clubs? FA I think that paid us for Owens knee, since he crocked it when with England.

Very good gesture, and classy for Capello to deliver it in person.

I'm afraid I don't. Was wondering if I should post it.

Get real! You're laughable... No, he's right actually. A fit Viduka > Most of our other players. A fit Viduka was a key part to us staying up last season, and a fit Viduka (although it won't happen) would be a massive boost to this season.

Clever thinking ! Surely if you were looking for an England No. 2 you would want someone who's used to playing every week, not someone who is a specialist at sitting on the bench?! His point was that someone that's playing every week isn't used to being called on at the last minute, and so doesn't perform. Harper would be used to that and would be more able to play at his best on short notice.

Inman suddenly appeared in the new Fifa update. Had no idea who he was until now.

Nice bloke, great keeper. Reckon he'll do fine in Shay's place.

Have high hopes for this guy, he just looks like he should be amazing.

No, Pep Guardiola. No, Wor Joe.

Class flip by Ambrosini.

The sound is fine because the ball is making a bump noise when it's hit at the right time, but for some reason the commentery is about 10 years ahead.

It's on BBC Three. Cheers.

Anyone know if the Milan derby is being shown on Sky? I can't find it anywhere but thought I better ask.

Barca used to have the nicest tops around, now look.

Bit of an over exaggeration. Still done class to get as high as they have in such a short time, superb achievement imo.

Where did Joe come from? We were offering 6 games at a club that was soon to be sold! If that was still the case, yes, bring in s*** Aidy, but it isn't the case anymore. Make up your mind. First your saying Aidy Boothroyd isnt good enough for this club, then your saying unless its a 6 game deal. FFS either you think he could do a job here or he couldnt. I think he could. Does he excite me? NO. Do I think he will bring us the champions league? NO. Do I believe we can attract someone who can excite me and deliver us the champions league? NO. Im looking at the situation realistically (Ask you teacher what that word means). Don't be such a prick, there's no fucking need for it. Anyway personally I'd like to see Advocaat or Jol here, think they could work with the system and get some good results.

Hope he gets better, decent enough man.

Seriously, someone needs to go to the next game with a big sign saying "OI JOE, GIVE XISCO HALF A FUCKING CHANCE!!". He's scoring in the reserves, he scored when he played his small amount he has for the 1st team, what more does he need to do?

Can't wait for some of these players to come through, sounds like some of them could at the very least make some handy squad players.

Yeah I saw, looked like a right twat.

Oldtype is spot on tbh. Blackburn have to compete with a lot more teams, 2 of which are 2 of the most popular in the world. If we were situated in the same place, I'd be willing to bet we'd be in a similar position.

We will never have anyone at this club, of his quality, again. Our owner has decided that the height of his ambition is mid-table mediocrity, if he is lucky. He speaks about us like that, I assume he thinks about us like that (both of these are from 'reports' as he does not actually speak to us at all) and if you read what many people on this board write, THEY too think that this is our rightful place (the best we can hope for). The days of sheer excitement at our 'potential to achieve' . . are over. The days of quality players wanting to come here and then coming here . . are over. I am not being pessimistic, just factual - as most on here seem to routinely acknowledge, particularly the younger ones who appear to accept and be 'happy with' our lot. Do one. I assume kindergaten was closed today because of the snow? It was actually as you well know. I assume that's why you're so pent up today. No opportunity to get your rocks off, right? Anyway... ignoring the melodramatic nature of your post... is it really necessary in here? Plenty of other threads on the state of the club. My post was in response to an earlier post, which you have not included here. Yes, it is appropriate to this thread as people need to realise (some cannot and some can, but seem to think it is 'ok') what a long-term state we are in. Because of the nature of our owner, management team and players, we no longer have any will (or expectation, or ability) to succeed. The facts are never (as you call it) 'melodramatic' - they are . . . er . . . the FACTS. I find it hard to accept these particular facts, but I realise I have to - why don't you? "We will never have anyone at this club, of his quality, again. " That is not a fact. It's melodramatic bollocks. Based on all available facts - it's bleedin' obvious. In the absence of a crystal ball (you got any?) all references to the future contain an element of conjecture, however, our future seems reasonably clear, based on facts available. Sady, only one word really applies to our beloved club now . . . MEDIOCRE. We need to accept that. Key word. Now. As in, not always. To say that we will never have that sort of quality again, IS nothing more than melodramatic bullshit, and YOU need to accept that.
