1) Jacques Santini. What happened?

He was not the right man for the job. Don't think he liked working under Frank Arnesen but his defensive tactics would not have quelled the discontent at the Lane for long

2) How do you feel about Martin Jol's appointment?

Pleased. Been a big fan ever since he wrapped Defoe in a bear hug to protect him from a fired up David Weir earlier in the season. Weir backed off very quickly. Also seems to want to play the Spurs way.

3) Are Spurs living up to your expectations so far this season?

No - but we are turning the corner.

4) What do you think about Rovers so far?

Not much.

6) Who have been your best and worst players this year?

Best - Paul Robinson - England's number 1 for the next ten years.

Worst - Johnnie Jackson will soon be a makeweight in the Andy Reid deal.

7) What style of play can we expect from you on Saturday?

Attacking, passionate - responding to our penalty shoot-out defeat in the right way.

8) Which Rovers player are you most scared of?

Lucas O'Neill - but only cos I suspect he'll try and injure our wonderkid Ziegler

9) Any memories from Blackburn v Spurs games from the past?

The Worthington Cup final where a mixture of amazing luck and shocking refereeing saw you somehow beat us - with a 37 year old Mark Hughes playing in central midfield.

10) Where do you think both teams will finish at the end of the season?

Rovers - fourth from bottom.

Spurs - eighth

Apologies for missing out Mike England on the transfer front. I knew there was someone else and despite voting him into the greatest Rovers side could not remember him when I put the preview together.

Good God, what planet are these people living on?!

with my flash car (think i'll buy an Audi TT). Not bad for a 21yr old

Crap. Woman's car.

Judas Priest (including Rob Halford) tour the UK in March.

For me that's Megadeth, Nightwish and Priest inside a month.

Nightwish?!

I thought you'd be above such nonsense.

Spurs, what a bunch of jokers. They have less team spirit than we did in the dying days of Souness's reign.

I hope we do them. Are we capable of getting six out of six though? Stranger things have happened.

Naturally enough, I'd probably want to kill him. Until then I hope to maintain a 'vile filth' free stance.

Plus I never actually stuck up for any child abusers. Not wanting to string these people up hardly constitutes being on their side.

Well steady on now, I feel nothing but contempt for a man (or woman) who takes pleasure in stealing a child's innocence, in subjecting them to horrific abuse. Of course they must be punished.

What I do object to is this old testament style hysteria and inability to think rationally. The victims' feelings are obviously the primary issue in such cases, but as a society we haven't evolved away from the law of the jungle only to do an about face simply because we buy The Sun's rhetoric.

It's only a guess, but you don't have kids of your own, do you ?

My argument is hardly exclusive to those without children. I do have a younger sister, if that is of any relevance to you.

What if you are wronlgy convicted? What happens then?

Oh who cares about them? As long as the mob is appeased eh?

Do you include all serious offenders in this category? Or is it just those who you've been alerted to through the tabloids?

whats the tabloids got to do with anything?wouldn't class my mates grandad as being in the tabloids so to suggest im being media lead is horseshit.

Depends on what you class serious ,but i would hang all child killers, child fiddlers and rapists.etc.

What about murderers? They kill people too.

Fair play to Dickov. I had my reservations when he arrived yet I seriously underestimated his commitment. All we ask is for each player to give 100%. Dickov does so and that makes him a star. The end product may not always be there, but at least his efforts are last the 90 minutes. Long may it go on.

Do your taxes not pay for the other prisoners too?

hang this @#/?

how many more "illnesses" does it take to make people realise that the only cure for these evil scum is to hang them by there ###### until this filth is dead.

WE SHOULDNT HAVE TO PAY OOR TAXES TOWARDS LETTING THISE FILTHYSCUM HAVE A LIFE OF TABLE TENNISS POOL AND THREE SQUARE MEALS A DAY.

IT WOULD TAKE 2/3 HANGINGS AT MOST TO MAKE THIS FILTH STOP AND THINK......ILLNESS MY ARSE ITS PERVASION SIMPLE AS.

So child abusers are doing it because they know they'll win either way?

They're doing it because they like doing it. Hang the consequences (excuse the pun)

1-1: Huckerby.

I purchased Ian Brown's Music of the Spheres this morning; fantastic so far. But then, you wouldn't expect anything else really.

YES!

3 very welcome points and a fantastic team performance; my weekend is made.

We've been very good in this first half, nowhere the easy meat of previous outings. Still, the second half is to come.

BTW was speaking to a sitting MP a couple of weeks ago and I suggested shipping asylum seekers etc out to refugee camps in 3rd world countries paid for by ourselves and where they would be kept safe from the oppression they were fleeing by a. distance and b a garrison of British troops. It would cost the country far far less, make excellent economic sense for the other country, and deter 'waistrals' from targetting soft touch Britain. I was told that something similar was being 'looked at' not for asylums but for reducing the costs of the prison service. Great minds eh?

Now are you sure this isn't a dream you had?

One thing I thought should be mentioned: Pedophiles are not all child molesters. The only child molesters are the ones that can't control themselves.

Also, the Koran, just like the Bible, was intended to be about love and peace. The Koran, like the Bible, has been appropriated for the fundamentalist agenda by the religious right.

How wrong is he, eh?

Having dow...erm, acquired the Kasabian album, I have to say that I am mightily impressed. Yes it may sound exactly like the vastly superior Stone Roses, but that is no bad thing in itself.

As my father would say: 'good sound...'

It is a real shame that even though you are now the victim, indirectly, of being collectively labelled a rapist for merely being a Rovers supporter

Ooh er missus!

Michael Singleton for the defence

During the course of the game, it became apparent there were taunts being directed towards Dwight Yorke,'' Mr Singleton said.

``Those taunts seemed to relate to Mr Yorke's energetic lifestyle in direct proportion to the energy expended as a Blackburn Rovers player whilst playing for them.

Brilliant! I'd send my work that guy's way!

It must be daunting times for a white pearson liveing in England in these politicaly correct times.

Terrible I know, us whites are really under threat. Making 'chimp' gestures at black people used to be all the rage, back in the days when only a few lived here and the Empire was at its height. Now, with the advent of Liberalism and evil political correctness, these johnny foreigners aren't allowed to be abused on national TV. They'll be wanting a vote next. Even our jolly old allies in the print media are getting in on this Commie agenda.

Bloody lefties...

What Stern John actually said was:

The Coventry striker said: "You have to question whether there is a place in the game for someone who says something like that."

Tabloid hacks; shameless.
