  1. Half time Very dull England performance. Hopefully being 1-0 down will give the lads a bit of a kick up the bum.
  2. David James gives ANOTHER penalty away against France. Typical. Ribery 1-0
  3. I've got a feeling that Moko will get the axe if it's serious.
  4. God I hate watching England play with 1 up front. It's so dull and means Rooney and Gerrard, technically our best players, play an awful game with Rooney not holding the line upfront and dropping back to receive the ball and Gerrard not having anyone upfront to pass to or getting the chance to run at the opposition.
  5. If that happened, I will cry like a big baby.
  6. Despite his unlucky donkey debut, he's proven that he's been another great purchase by Hughes. A really good defender, bundles of experience and a player we can fully rely on in any game.
  7. I wonder if the same happened to Ferguson when they beat them 2-0. Results haven't gone our way lately but it's certainly no reason to give up on Hughes. Times like these will show just how good a manager he is. Let's wait to see how he can use the transfer window to change our situation we're currently in. We might be out of the cups but we're in a decent league position and we've got half the season to go.
  8. Just watched The Shawshank Redemption again. Still probably one of the best films ever made. Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman are just brilliant. Does anyone know any films better than this that you'd recommend people watching?
  9. From being a 500-1 outsider at the start of the tournament and ending up as a finalist, these championships will always be remembered for the underdog. After going 4-0 down, his confidence must have been at it's lowest so to get 2 sets in the end despite not playing as well as he has, he can hold his head up high. I think he managed to get 50k for that which was 5 times as much as he's received in his entire career so far (if I remember correctly). Well done John Part! Mr Shepherd, we'll see you next year!
  10. Jeffers scored to put Sheff Wed 2-1 up against Gallagher and Preston. Good to see Jeffers back on the score sheet after so many injures. Only 5 mins for Gallagher to bang in an equaliser! Edit: Maybe not, he just got replaced!
  11. It was lucky that the referee didn't book that American dude on their side for a high foot, otherwise Mokoena probably would have gone.
  12. The big guns are out... Painter (who looks like a fat Vinny Jones when he played for Wimbledon) for the title!
  13. It would have been quality if he got a bullseye with that throw. I'd have awarded the title to him straight away
  14. I think the trouble I sometimes have with Dunn is that he tries to play the same way he used to play when he was a top player for us however with injuries and how the game has changed, it just isn't as effective. He needs to adapt his game and become more technical not just with his football skills but mentally as well.
  15. Dunn's ability wasn't compared with Gerrard and Carragher because that would be stupid as they have pretty much done it all and although Dunn is a talented individual, he's not a world class player. The fact that they are local boys playing for their local clubs was the reason why I mentioned them in the same paragraph. It's important to have some kind of connection to the local community within the club whether it's players or behind the scene staff. Once a club loses it's link to the local community then that's the club on the road to it's death. Thankfully at Rovers we've got a couple of locals in the team, a great youth academy and the team is working with the community on a regular basis to maintain that link between us and them.
  16. The fact that he's a Blackburn born and bred fan who is playing for the club he loves means so much more than whether he's worth the money we paid for him. I know it's important to win matches and have a squad capable of challenging but sometimes football is not always about that. Personally seeing a fellow fan make the grade as a footballer playing for the team we both support is wonderful to see. Although i'll probably never know him, he still represents each and everyone of us and is living a dream we've all probably had at one point in our life. It's people like Dunny & Derbyshire who are the blood of the club. Similar to how Terry, Gerrard, Carragher, Cattermole are the blood of their clubs. £2m for Dunn. Money well spent.
  17. Joey Barton - A great role model for kids He needs to be locked up for his own good.
  18. It was either that or listen to the mother in law! I'm sure you would have all done the same
  19. Did anyone see the Inspector Gadget film yesterday. Probably one of the worst films i've ever seen!
  20. If that turns out to be the case then she needs to be given whatever sentence he would have got if he got proved guilty.
  21. Friends of ours said it was snowing on Corfu.
  22. If the whole team played well then Pedersen probably would have looked even better. He was one of our better players and I feel that he deserves to keep his place in the team. We missed Bentley a lot today. We had a lot of space on the right side of midfield but unfortunately Dunn and Emerton didn't quite link up as well as Emerton and Bentley do.
  23. I went to my mates for 5 minutes on the way home from work to have a quick look at Assassins Creed and ended up staying around there for quite a few hours. What a great game and the opening movie is truly brilliant, especially the close up of the eagle (i think). Can't wait for it to come out on the PC!
  24. IF England weren't so shocking during the last qualifiers then I'd probably say it was a great group to draw because they are all pretty much beatable. I also said that when the Euro 2008 qualifying draw was made...
