OOh Alan75- I was going to tell you not to post the Mark Hughes article- it will make Tris so ANGRY to be proved wrong yet again, but he then goes and reads exactly what he wants into the article anyway. So that's all right!

For the record, we ALL know that Premiership survival is a necessity, however for the maggot to turn round to the papers, when a lot of people were on their way to Sofia ,to say this isn't an important game, was the end for me. Might not have been important to you, but it WAS important to us, and the fact that he could treat it so lightly disgusted even people I knew who otherwise supported him.

Mark Hughes think's there's a prize and won't be taking it lightly. Oh the world is so much better a place now! The team might be organised in such a way as to make a win possible!!!

Oh, i presume you mean the same competition where you actually lose money by being in the 1st round and its not until later rounds that you make money (of course a big draw changes this). This also the same competition where after playing in the uefa cup in midweek we then lost twice at home the following sunday (everton and spurs). Considering we only lost 3 at home in the entire season....

However, i am not taking Souness side as i actually agree with you, i firmly believe that we should play every game hard and try to win as much as possible. The point im just trying to make is that if you consider it from the board/ souness point of view (playing in a comp where you lose money and league form suffers) maybe you can understand it a bit more

Green Day - American Idiot

what a TOP song

The usual hypocritical nonsence, but on whole yeh, good song i certainly liked it.

It was an excellent article in the times today and it looked like he had really earned the respect of people in seria a. Sections of the story such as Shevchenko (spelling?) wanting to exchange shirts with him and Maldini saying that J.B is a great prospect, tells me that perhaps we have a gem who is just waiting for the right manager to unlock his obviously considerable talents. Enter Sparky

Time is the key point here fellow Rovers. He needs to ajust to the English game and playing against the likes of bournmouth can only help his development. Im gonna wait a whole lot longer until i judge MGP and Emerton is only starting to come good now!!!

That said with Arsenal only drawing and us winning yesterday we did gain ground on them

LOL, what a brilliant comment .

Anyway, a priceless win y'sday in a game where result instead of performance mattered. The 2nd half was very postitive but we did that under Souness also, just playing for 1 half. If Hughes can get us playing for a full 90mins than we can really start to go places. I happy for Hughes, great substitution for Jansen and delighted for him. We love him and he loves us. Superb

As for Boythroyd, ive never seen such a 2 footed player in my life, does anyone know actually what his fav foot is?

Finally, the game ive been so looking forward to is around the corner. Honestly, i can't wait, for the following reasons:-

a.) A chance of a sub 10k crowd. Whooo

b.) No more then 500 bournmouth fans.

c.) A cold wet wednesday night.

d.) Lose lose situation for Hughes and Blackburn

e.) And finally the dingles have a crap draw and i wanted them in the next round.

In all seriousness, desipte the above sarcasim i would like to see Stead play, perhaps grab a couple to boost his confidence and then play Jansen and Boythroyd up front together. Also continue MGP addaption to the english league. Rest Dickov, Emerton, bazza and a couple of others. Oh yeh play gally also.

Easy win 3-0 to the Rovers

ive got to be postive, what with the new manager. I think it will be a 3-1 Rovers win in front of around 21,000. I hope for a sensible tean from Sparky and will be interested in MGP performance, this is his first real game in which Blackburn should have at least 50% of the posession and are under pressure to get forward, which should give him a bettr chance. De pedro needs another go to.

Not that anyone else cares, but I feel like getting it off my chest; I've just found out that one of my favourites guitarists, Gus G, has quit Dream Evil (one of his 4 bands) less than a month before their gig in Glasgow. £15 to see the support band....they'd better be as good without him.

Very true, noone else does care about your no-name band, esp when you cant appreciate great music like linkin park.

Linkin Park are hardly exponents of 'great music.' Ok, they're pleasant enough to listen along to and the Reanimation album was superb (and heavily produced) but you really ought to get out more, or listen to some Led Zeppelin. You're bound to have heard of them...

Hey where has RoyRover gone, everyone is ganging up on me about Linkin park lol

In response to you Rovermatt, less of the patronizing bs please.

Of course i know who Led Zepplin are, arent they the lastest boy band from fame academy?

Actually, i like chillie peppers, REM, Nirvana and Queen also, just that i rate Linkin Park superior to any band at the mo.

And lastly, my social life is great thanks, so i do get out enough.

Well, technically the gate will go up by 1 (I bought my deanocard as soon as I had formal confirmation of Souness going) However, because I'd figured on not going to Rovers much this season I'm away for the next 2 weekends- so will be cheering on from a distance.

Does that count??

Your a disgrace in my opinion. You should support the team no matter who is in charge you fairweather supporter. You take Rovers for granted, yet there are so many (like myself) who would love to be able to get to see Blackburn every other week. Take a look at Roversworld and watch the brfcn.com lads travelling all the way from oslo for a match, yet you cant even be bothered to get to Ewood and you live in Blackburn.

Listening to linkin park at the mo btw

Which album, Hybrid Theory, Reanimation or Meteora? I have all of them and think that Linkin Park are excellent and are one of my favourite bands. Just don't get Radaghast going about them.

Linkin Park are my fav band and the one of the best bands in the world at the current time. I was listening to the cd 'live in Texas' which is a mix of their best songs from both H.Theroy and Meteora. The best of both worlds!!

best bands? my arse!

MUSE MUSE MUSE

Muse, who are ya, who are ya, who are ya!! lol

No, actually they are very popular now and they have a coupla good songs. However not in the same league as Linkin Park

Linkin Park = Blackburn

Muse = Burnley

Don't you just love the contradictions (see 1st 2 stories). I thought sky was not like 'the sun' and respectable lol.

It doesn't matter if he's got good stanmia levels if he's totally sh1te at playing football it's self, i'm not saying he is just commenting that's all

What's the point in commenting then? I'd thought i'd share a piece on information on a new player and i get slagged. What a welcome. Why do people want to know if Henry's fast? What if he is "totallt sh1te at playing football"? Stamina IS and will be an important asset. But if you want me to give you his playing abilities in an overview in one post, sorry, i cant help you.

Don't take it personally mate, some people on here seem to think that burnley fans are throughout this board, what with the responses you get. Any more info on mgp that you have i and i presume almost all Rovers fans would be happy to hear.

What was our support like y'sday? Did we fill out our allocation and make alot of noise?

What paper is this in, the daily rubbish?

How did yous do then, was it a defeat? Sorry lads if it was, i want Norway to do well cos of our previous and now current player links, berg, stig etc

Did he play for Norway tonight? If he did, was it a good performance from mgp?

Barry Ferguson is the only thing that i can praise Souness for,

Goodness me what a muppet you are, you dont like promotions, cup wins and european qualifications then i take it.

Just a shame that he didnt get the chance to make it 4 great seasons outa 5 this yr.

You keep believeing that! In my book, 2 points out of a possible 12 and second bottom in the league is simply not good enough.

Sorry, i didnt realise the season was over already. Oh well united can always try the champs league next yr!!

As long as it aint hoddle, B.Robson, Houllier or Venables i dont really mind.

All i can say is, good luck to GS, someone who always gave his all for BRFC. As someone who doesnt particularly like n'caslte (all this best fans in the world crap), i hope we wrung ever penny outa them in the compensation deal.

Ive enjoyed the time GS had with us, people tend to forget that its 3 great seasons and just 1 bad season that he has had. Just a shame that he didnt get the chance to make it 4 great seasons outa 5 this yr.

Also, just like to say that GS had a good record in the transfer market, contrary to what some muppets on hear have said, 1 of the very best in the league.

Shame about short memories.

As long as we dont get Houllier.....

Tremendous loyalty from Matt, and i think he deserves 1 last chance in the Rovers 1st team. Maybe if he can grab a couple of goals, even just tap ins, the confidence will come back

Matty is a

Be even nicer , Brownie , if it was Shearer signs for Blackburn after accepting manager's job......

Typical of Rovers fans, rather have a inexperienced completely untried/untrusted player (shearer) as their manager rather then our best manager since Kenny (souness) and had 3 good seasons outa 4.
