I wonder if Dean Saunders had anything to do with it.............

She's on bail pending an appeal though. Mind you, in that part of the world, if she loses the appeal things are likely to get rather worse......

Someone give him the number of the ticket office please.....

The Tower is a great day out especially if the weather is bad. I wouldn't have thought you were a Jungle Jim's kind of girl, Clare.........

Also the decline in motivation was quite obvious looking back.

Best of luck to the lad after his season of injury.

Is that your dead body or someone else's Matty?

look who's turned up here

This is what worries me. Appointing this man as Blackburn Rovers Manager, in my opinion, would send out entirely the wrong message of what our club is about. (re: Big Sam).

Considering if you try to open an extra bank account they virtually accuse you of money-laundering

Par for the course, I'm afraid........

He'll be expected to do seriously better than that at City.....

Never mind Paul Sturrock, where's that rope?

rumour 'bout Portsmouth and us being in for him here but Portsmouth will surely have more readies to shell out for him if true.

Hhm; the plot thickens! I am told the picture I posted could be Sparky's house! This is the house from the article in the telegraph........from the link posted by American Rover link to mail article

In a Rovers World interview Benni is threatening to buy a local house! Personally I prefer the house that all the fuss is about - the one Carrick is hoping to build and Sparky is complaining about:

Aw, sweet. They look so laid back, just like Daddy!!!!!!

No chance. They'd somehow turn each match into a discussion about one of the 'Big Four' particularly Manchester United. One thing that amuses me is how often little 'ol Rovers somehow gets a passing mention in these discussions.

William Woodruff the Historian recounts his Blackburn childhood and more in his book The Road to Nab End. I had seen this book around for some time, and, interested on the links with Blackburn, on being made the present of a book voucher decided to treat myself to it. Woven into the tale of the everyday life of a boy born in 1916 in a cotton mill is a fascinating insight into how a Blackburn family survived in those times. Blackburn Rovers has a mention He also mentioned the singing of "Abide With Me" at the ground and the excitement in the town when Rovers went to Wembley in 1928 and came back with the FA Cup. For the first time the match was broadcast on radio from Wembley. No doubt many of you have already read this book, but for those who have not you have missed a treat.

I've just had a moan about this on the official board. Much as I dislike John Terry's arrogance I'd rather have him or Stevie Gerrard at the helm. Choosing Rio is taking the michael in my opinion. Rio already has an over-inflated opinion of himself and personally I'd love nothing more than Bents to make mincemeat of him again when we play ManU in a couple of weeks time.

Harsh, Jim Sadly there seem to be a number of places around these days that statement would apply to......

I rather held the view that getting caught in an accident in 80-90mph winds might affect any life she might have after in an adverse way. Uni have re-scheduled. Anyway, she's had an offer from a better one, this was second choice

The BBC had some poor lassie on the prom at Fleetwood, near that ship that ran aground a few weeks ago. Poor thing could hardly get the words out let alone stand up! A tree at the end of neighbour's drive fell down smashing the back window of her car. Luckily it was only a fairly small tree or she would have had no car! We were off to Liverpool today for Tash to have an interview at University there. Decided against the trip after reports of M6 closures etc. Still extremely windy here.

It all sounds horribly familiar

OOps - wrong thread Saw Billy the drummer after the match. He said he hadn't been very well recently. Hope he gave Jaaskelainen what for!
