Plus Duff is now crap, injury and arrogance led to his knock down fee

WHO?

There can be no comparison made between the root cause of the current global conflict to that of Nothern Ireland, this is due to mega complexaties of the issue , the Ira for example had a political wing and had the capacity to discuss the issues faced by all sides in the Northern Ireland civil conflict. Who would sit down with the west on behalf of the radical islamists and would they want to negoiate in anycase. there can be no argument taht the wests incursions into Afghanistan and Iraq and the Us's continued support for Isreal is helping the recruitment of despreate young men , but as the French have found out it dosent seem to make adifference if you support US foreign policy or not the terrorists seem not to care. The common misconception of Al-queda been a group of organised/centralised organistion is not helping the situtaion Al-Queda is an Iranien form of extremist Islam which does tolerate any other religion of cultural practise, the misconception of global terrorist organiastion Al-Quada was made up in A New York courtroom was created in order to prosecute Bin Laden over the US embasy bombing in Kenya, and by the west chasing this group we have wasted both time nad money. The main causation of the spread of global terrorism is Bin Ladens anger at not been able to overthrow the Saudi royal family and other middle-eastern regimes , Bin Laden simply uses this Al-Quada philosophy as way to capture new followers who see great disparity compred to the western neighbours both culturaly, politiaclly and economically . Bin Ladens real quarrel is with the Saudis however the only way he can overthrow the regime is to bite the hand that feeds it which is the west primarily the US, and by attcking the west he hopes to pay the US and its allies back for not allowing him free reign in his homeland

If Engand dont reagain the ashes this time they will next time just think no Langer, Hayden, Martyn,Gilchrist,Warne,Mcgrath,kasprowich,gillespie. Ill go for a 2-1 win this time round

Im half engish , Half italien but England is where i live so I support English teames ( Unless man or Chelsea are playin)

liverpool have been underachiving for years and relisatically in most aspects we are miles behind them( They are champions of Europe ). We should be aiming to overtake the over-achievers such as Boro, Bolton etc

Gerrard proved tonight he is the best in the world in his position what a player, shame he wasnt born about 20 miles NE

Whats wrong with people , why are people so begrudging of there success, ( the only teams i woudnt support in this comp is Chelsea and Man U), theyve done a brilliant job in beating an excellent Milan team. Cant see why people are so unhappy about an English team winning it ( and im half Italien ), im chuffed for them. Well done to Mr Benetiz and him team

For 1k just on a base, you hould be looking at a top spec laptop notebook for that kind of money, my advice would be if youre still looking at spending 1k them either get a decent laptop, Sony Toshiba or Acer or Drop your budget to £600 and look for a high quality spec AMD ATHLON 3200+ or equavalent Intel spec At least a gig of DDR ram 200g+ memory a 256 graphics card ( do not have on on board ) XP Home dont spend more than £600 on just a base

U know uncle Jack only signs British playes so I cant see this "Zidane" (who is he anyway) and Dugary coming to Rovers, PS How does everyone reckon This Tony Blair will do as he is the new Labour leader

Go and polish your trophy cabinat , its got more dust than a buiding site, should take you tell the start of next season. So plenty to do to occupy you

A few comparisons between blackburn and Brum Average gate B'burn 24,000 17% of Blackburns population of 125,000 Brum 28,000 2.4% of Birminghams 1.1 million ( Shocking u don't even draw 5% of your overall population 1st league win over rovers since 1964 (Maybe because you haven't been in the top leagues for a while) Brum fixtures Barclays Premiership Norwich v Birmingham, 15:00 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 15 May 2005 Barclays Premiership Birmingham v Arsenal, 15:00 0 points from both and we have 2 easier games in which we win at least 1 and we finish above your massive club with any empty trophy cabinet Also thanx for the 8 million you invested in our club by taking a few reserves of our hands

Going on Mark Lwarensons predictions this season this how the table could read Pts WBA 30 ---------------------------- Norwich 29 Southampton 29 Blackburn 3 Im glad he keeps predicting loses for us , because he has been wrong on at least 10 occasions, i hate him and te rt of the idiots at the bbc 1-0 Rovers, Reid attendance at that massive club 29,000 out of a city of over 1mill a disgrace

We will get an out of court agreement for definite or is this just wishful thinking

Im sorry but i dont see rovers getting anything from this, if rovers win premiums would go throgh the roof probably 10 times what they are now, think of all the clubs to jump on the bandwagon, everyone would be knocking on the insurers door, lloyds who insure the insurers would go bump, because all sports teams would try this and imagine if a pro baseball ,nhl star had a simalr complaint youd be talkin 100 mill+

If as suggested in the press there will six players exiting Ewood in the summer, hers what i think may happen Certs Poss Gray NEJ Amo Matty Bothroyd Tugs Short personaly out of those i would keep Matty and NEJ but ive got a sneaky suspicion that could both be gone come next August

I am no way defending the actions of the inter fans last night, but some people are quick on the attack of Italians etc etc, however there is things that people need to understand about italian football,Italians There is a hooligan problem like we have in this country, and the policing is much poorer than here however at the saints/maure fa cup tie a flare was thrown on to the pitch and just missed a player. Most of the rivalry in Italy unlike here is as political as it is through footballing reasons, stemmed by whether or not your club was pro mussolini during wwII. Like our country there is a growing fascist levels however, not been from Lancs people from the midlands where i am from believe that most people in East lanc are BNP/football hooligans, I correct these ill-informed people.The point I am making is that italian clubs ave hooligan elements but so do we here, my local team Stoke have the naughty 40 and most are committed criminals , when they got beat 7-0 at home to brum about 5 seasons ago they trashed there own stadium inside and out. It is the policing thats needs changing and stopping people with missiles, and i am sure if we had a derby the size/historical background in this country there would be problems. Please do not tar all Italians with the same brush, PS and I am as English as they come before we go down that road

I myself find some of these marks racist been half Italien, with family in Turin and Lecce, yes there is a problem with idiots, but so is there in Greece and turkey.Not so long ago i attendeda Sunderland match where house bricks were thrown at the away supporters at the end of the game. Not to mention chelsea headhunters who carry darts. There is a problem but not just in Italy/Italiens look at the Racism in Spain toward black players. And if you would like to debate history/miltary have u never heard of the Roman /Byzantine empires which spanned 1300 years

Money earned from fa cup Thats £1161000 so far just from prize money, Broadcasting rights, dosent include matchday income Rovers could earn another 1.5mill if they win the lot thats over 2.5mill for a just a cup run( prize money, Broadcasting rights only) no wonder were been linked to kuyt

If dickov plays , I feel the best we can hopw for is a draw ( 0-0 ) , if Stead or another striker plays who is 100% fit then I can see us scraping a 1-0 win Liverpool 0-1 Rovers Nelson 59m Team Brad Neill Todd Nelson Nej Thommo Reid Mokoena Emerton Mgp Stead why not try Mortan behind the front 1 and give a free role and Bring Brett in on the left as he has ( in my humble opinion been better there ), there is also then plenty of energy to combat the likes of Gerrard, Garcia Hamamn etc

Does anyone hand-on-heart really think Dickov is a top ten club player, as i have said before i am grateful for his hard work this season but a 20 odd yr old dickov didnt do that much in the prem never mind next season, hees a good stop gap, but we cant really on him for goals next season ( his general play isn't great either

Stop stating that as if it's bloody fact. It just isn't. It's hardly going to be a case of "Happy 34th birthday Paul....oh crums, his legs have gone." The fact of the matter is name me one striker apart from shearer, who plays as a main striker, ( not a in the hole type player i.e sheringham,Bergkamp ) and does the running, casing down who has played well for a top 10 side and still scores.also all of those mentioned are in a different league ( quality wise ) to dickov Most strikers best days are over when they 34, dickov has done a brill job for us , but he is no more than a stop gap. if we want to progress we need better more youthful quality up front. If we go with the route of continuing with the likes of dickov we will not improve

Some of you just arent getting whhat im saying if we were Chelski or United we can afford to have has-beens doin nothing in our squad but we arent , the players we have simply dont represent value for money , we cant keep old players who dont cut the musatrd Examples Amo 25K+ Flitty 20k Matteo 20k+ Tugay 15K Dickov15K ( although the work hees done this season will help to keep us up, he aint got the quality to carry on playing at this level as he will turn 34 next year) Matty20K If these palyers took huge decreases in pay tahn maybe we could keep a couple , they dont represent value for money so get rid

As I said in my opening post I have nothing but admiration for dickov's effort this season, but if rovers want to be a top 10 club they need to get rid, the guy is hardly prolific is he , and is getting to old to play up front in the prem. People who have posted criticising my original choice in departures, thats fine youre entitled to your opinion , but id like to point one or two things out Rovers have one of the biggest 1st team squads in the prem Many of these so-called squad players i.e Flitty, Tugay, Amo, Matteo,Dickov are all past there best and lack the quality in the prem-also if we ship these players out for nominal or free transfers we wold be saving an estimated £80,000 per week, thats over 4mill a season + bonuses-no point on putting the strain on our wage system in keeping over-the hill players, if we do i simply dont see how we can financially remain solid

Oh yeah forgot Matteo Outs Matteo -another conman on too much money
