Reporter talking to Alan Brazil on Talk Sport this morning about yesterdays game, said when the stadium emptied all the Rovers squad came out onto the pitch to do a 20 minute warm down, that finished they all got into a huggle in the centre of the pitch (ala Chelsea this season) and started shouting and cheering each other the victory had meant so much to them, the reporter was very impressed by the team spirit that is obviously running through the squad. Hughesy seems to have galvanised the players into a happy bunch which I don’t think we’ve seen since the heady day’s of 94/95

Overjoyed, what a brilliant solid performance from the lads, how the hell are that lot heading for the champions league… brilliant lads well done

As I said in the match thread, superb performance, pure quality in defending, not only that his distribution is excellent.

Sorry Ben but I feel your miles off, no one on that pitch tonight came close to the superb performance of our captain Ryan Nelsen

Ryan Nelsen Captain Fantastic, absolutely brilliant personal display within a very poor team performance, hats off to Hughesy for unearthing a gem.

Everyone attending the game have a wonderful day, sing your hearts out for those of us nervously sat infront of the box, you’ve gotta be that 12th man, defeat is not a option. COME ON YOU BLUES!!!!!

Just been an bought a load of Blue+White balloons to decorate the pub, they’ll be a little piece of Lancashire in the Grouse Hotel, Derbyshire tomorrow, Come on lad’s don’t let me down, now we’ve had the shocks out the way, Kin murder um!

which plug-in do i download to join the chat?????

Just at the point of his terrible injury at Newcastle last season I felt he was really coming into his own and starting to come to terms with the Premiership and looked forward to more to come, as I hadn’t seen to that point anything of the player Souness had told us we’d captured. Thought it would take him time over the first couple of months of this season to regain Premiership speed and fitness, but having been virtually ever present till the weekend with over half the season gone, to me he’s been very disappointing, so much so that at home to Charlton I felt he was one of the worst players on view, constantly choosing the easy ball usually backwards sometimes to the side rarely forward and when he did gave the ball away…in my humble opinion very overrated, and a big disappointment.

6 bloody minutes injury time!!!!!!

Alan Smith on sky as just said we look so strong at the back, Todd doing all the organizing, the Yak hasn’t had a kick….10 million? Emerton causing all sorts of problems down the wing, Tommo should have done better after being set up by him….come on ROVERS

Thought Nissa an Todd were absolutely fantastic today especially Andy Todd when he did mess up he made sure he rectified the situation brilliantly, everyone is just willing the ball into the net for Stead, I’m sure the goals would eventually come, just that when Gallagher came on he looked more lately, I still think we are lucky to have such promising youngsters….Jonathan Stead best cross of the game Shearer like …superb

NEWS JUST IN SAVAGE HANDS IN TRANSFER REQUEST……while listening to 5Live just before half time in the West Brom/Newcastle game

I rem it different Philipl. I cannot be bothered to look it up but I'm sure that 33000 crowd at Burnden was a 3rd Div all time record which was beaten some time later by the Sheff derby. Wasn’t the top of the table clash between Villa and AFC Bournemouth at Villa Park in the early 70’s of around 51,000 a record for a Third Division game, I seem to remember MOTD that evening saying it was?

I went to that game with my mates. We stood behind the goal on the end nearest the town centre. I was amazed that there were groups of Rovers fans and Wanderers fans all side by side. When we won a corner we all clapped but others were deathly quiet and when they won a corner others were cheering and we were quiet. It was quite weird. Sam Allardyce was playing in that match. Roger Jones was magnificent for us. The following day's football headlines read "33,000". There wasn't a space to be seen on the terraces. I also stood on the Railway End that evening, duffel coat hood over my head, worried sh**less that one of the 100’s of darts and pool balls thrown by the Notlob fans was going to hit me, throughout the match, getting worse after Faz scored at the Leaver End At the final whistle loads of Rovers fans decided not to run the gauntlet of walking back down the main road to the station, and climbed over the back wall and head for the station along the tracks…happy days..

Went into Fopp Manchester Thursday (new CD’s from a fiver). Picked up a couple and one in particular hasn’t been off the sound system since, few years old now, but absolute quality, takin me back to wonderful evenings under the stars on the Indonesian island of Gili Trawanga….KRUDER DORFMEISTER The K&D Sessions. Absolutely brilliant double CD..the dogs bo**ocks

Did no one see Dunny as a guest on Soccer AM the weekend following Souness’s departure, when questioned about his fall out with Souness, he replied “don’t want to go into that but a least I can be a Rovers fan again now he's left the club”

The blokes probably been on mega bucks (compared to the pittance I’ve received) since jack walker moved into the club, except for his caretaker rolls..since Dalglish was around he’s been nothing more than a general gofer/tea boy. I used to watch Rovers train down Plezzy, when Harford took the training all he did was carry the nets on’t field, great money since, probably good pay off now at 55, great early retirement….i bloody dream of such an outcome to life….lucky bugger

and we along with every other clubs fans sang it in the early 70's (words to suit your nearest rival

Well pleased…buzz all day as every 30 minutes we were mentioned on national radio, 3: 30pm announced that the Wales FA had allowed Rovers to speak to Mark Hughes…then radio5 break into the champions league commentary to announce “from this moment on Mark Hughes is Blackburn Rovers manager” top day…Rovers everywhere….

which of all the plugins do i down load.....i already have them all except Java Sun, its all a little complicated.....i was OK last season

Cheers Sam well pleased with the results so far….just one thing how do I reset my desktop internet explorer links on my desktop to Mozilla, when I double click Mozilla does take me there but still get the bar coming up saying internet explorer blah blah, just need to change them, how?

Sam…interested, will I still be able to use messenger? If so how? Can I still use my Hotmail account? And will it get rid of the pop-up that high jacks my screen every time I connect to the internet, meaning every time I’ve to switch off and re-boot….bloody annoying

Great bit of business, I remember all to well the 2 goals he scored against at Filbert Street even though they were virtually relegated, "Welcome Paul Dickov"
