Just to play devils advocate, are Blackburn's problems really anything to with Kean? Venkys are clearly incompetant but I dunno if their squad is really much cop, and apparently he was very high rated as a coach for a while behind the scenes (think got this from football weekly)

Well it was the same team Allardyce had in mid table when this poor run started and he's had more than most Blackburn managers to spend (waste) on it - £3.5 for Formica, £2.8m for Goodwillie, 2.7m for Petrović, 2m for Vukčević, £8m for Scott Dann (LOL), 1m for Slew and 1.5m for Yakubu.

Shocking spend. Goodwillie has looked like a carthorse, Petrovic looks useless and Vukcevic has never got the pace for the Premier League in a million years.

 

The fact that Yakubu is probably the pick of the bunch sums it up.

Have to say not many of their players stand out, Hoilett, Samba and at a push Ryan Nelson?

 

Formica, Rochina both look good.

Premier League - Gambler scoops £585k from late winner

 

A lucky punter landed £585,143.24 from an 85p bet thanks to Glen Johnson's 87th-minute winner for Liverpool at Chelsea on Sunday.

 

The 41-year-old gambler - who has chosen to remain anonymous - bet just one euro on his 19-match accumulator, and watched Saturday's football results come in with an increasing state of excitement as the first 18 matches all went his way.

 

That left the Sunday afternoon match between the Reds and the Blues to decide whether his 683,738-1 gamble would come in.

 

Liverpool were 7/2 underdogs for the match at Stamford Bridge, but former Chelsea player Glen Johnson did the Maltese gambler proud with his beautiful late goal to secure all three points for Kenny Dalglish's men.

 

And unsurprisingly, Liverpool have gained a lifelong fan thanks to the win: "He wasn't a Liverpool fan before, he tells us he is now!" said William Hill spokesman Graham Sharpe, adding that the amazing punt was a new record at the end of a great weekend for gamblers.

 

"We cannot recall any punter winning either this much on an accumulator, or landing such stratospheric odds," Sharpe added.

 

"Football punters were already celebrating the biggest winning weekend in living memory as all the best fancied teams in the Premier League, Championship, Leagues One & Two, Blue Square, SPL and William Hill Scottish Cup turned out be winners," said Sharpe.

 

"This late winner in the final game of the weekend left us feeling about as cheerful as under-pressure Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas. The weekend as a whole was football betting's equivalent of racing's Dettori day in 1996, when Frankie rode all seven winners at Ascot, costing the industry almost £50 million."

 

The winning selections:

 

Norwich v Arsenal - 7/10 away win

 

Everton v Wolves - 6/10 home win

 

Man City v Newcastle - 1/3 home win

 

Swansea v Man Utd - 4/9 away win

 

Chelsea v Liverpool - 7/2 away win

 

West Brom v Bolton - 11/10 home win

 

Inverness v Celtic - 4/9 away win

 

Southampton v Brighton - 8/15 home win

 

Coventry v West Ham - 4/5 away win

 

Reading v Cardiff - 11/5 away win

 

Brentford v Charlton - 7/5 away win

 

Huddersfield v Notts County - 4/5 home win

 

Sheff Utd v Carlisle - 19/20 home win

 

Colchester v MK Dons - 6/4 away win

 

Tranmere v Sheff Wed - 9/5 away win

 

Crawley v Oxford - 5/6 home win

 

Dagenham v Southend - 5/6 away win

 

Cheltenham v Port Vale - 13/10 home win

 

Northampton v Shrewsbury - 11/8 away win

Aye, seen it now.  Seems my work network also blocks imageshack. :)  Considering I'm part of the people who block the sites I should know this.
