Bet it was because not many other clubs sell out their away allocation at Stoke.

Bunch of pricks. I'd love to see Hughes get the sack asap.

If Martins is back I look forward to his annual Dawson rapeage.

It's been a while since a fatty Dunne o.g, hope he doesn't disappoint today.

That could have been anywhere in the 2,900 fans ffs.

I thought I had deja vu or something

He will stay.

Sounds like a good game, MOTD2 probably worth a watch tonight.

Bullshit. We gifted them loads of opportunities after the goal due to our shit midfield ball retention, and it was a combiation of good goalkeeping, shit Stoke finishing and sheer good luck that we didn't concede another goal (or more). Had we not been lucky/indebted to Harper and Stoke's shite forwards for about 40 minutes, we wouldn't have rallied when Jonas and Carroll came on. There was still fuck all response straight after going a goal down.

You look delighted there Dave.

Replace Sherwood with Collymore or Barnes and I think we have the nightmare trio.

Aye, what I dont understand is that he didnt ask Xisco to show him in games for the reserves....but Xisco did anyway, and he's still not in the squad. Something fishy is obviously going on with him. Got to be if 2 managers and Hughton haven't bothered with him. Xisco was absolutely dreadful last Monday night tbf. Agreed. He looked as weak as water, no strength on the ball whatsoever.

Pleased I'm not the only one who noticed it. He just stood behind a red shirt, all afternoon.

1-2

We had a spell of useful posession, between about 65 minutes and 80 minutes, apart from that we gave the ball away cheaply and invited a shit Stoke team onto us. The only positives were the performances of Edgar, Carroll and Jonas. End of.

The long throws were punched or caught by Harper. Ameobi still didn't mark up, we were just lucky that Delap over-threw most of them.

Most of that post is a crock of shit. Our defence was fucking powderpuff, Edgar did win quite a few headers but he also lost lots too, as did Beye, Bassong and many others. Headers that we needed to win.

He did this the other season when he fucked off before the curtain-closer at Watford. Bottler.

Christ, Blackburn are taking an arse raping here.

I haven't man! Check the page yourself. http://www.skysports.com/football/match_report/0,19764,11065_3005308,00.html

He must be straight onto some underworld journo everytime we change gaffers, to get some kinky photos.

If Colo was dropped from the team for his performance against Chelsea, Shola should be dropped in the Amazon river with a knife in his back and concrete on his feet after his 'showing' today. Who knows, maybe then he'd show some urgency.

He's right - Carroll has proved he's up for it whilst Shola has proved he's still the idle, ambling waster that he was 5 years ago. Btw, did anyone notice that as soon as Setanta showed Carroll being stripped and ready, Shola won a flick on, then sprinted back to muscle Whelan off the ball and lay it off to a black and white shirt? Funny that, how the useless sod waits till he sees his replacement before putting in any effort. We should have Carroll standing on the touchline in his kit for 90 minutes, maybe then the fucker will actually put a decent shift in. Better still, we'll start Carroll and have Ranger as his replacement, with Shola in the reserves.
