This whole situation disgusts me.

I was watching this over in the states. Just a few minutes were left, obviously, and i leave the room to get a beer, and then i hear the anouncers shouting. I walk out and see the replay and could not believe it.

Now I am not a Spurs fan by any means. Not by a long shot, but they truly got robbed. Just awful stuff.

Hughes should come down like a ton of bricks on Thompson for his crass stupidity in getting sent off on Saturday.

Not only did he deserve both bookings he was lucky also not to be sent off for kicking out at the Crystal Palace player.

He also compounded the error by arguing with the linesman after his second booking, which the FA is bound to punish by increasing the length of his suspension.

The fool has just returned from serious injury and an enforced absence because of a idiotic and needless dismissal is the last thing he needs when he is trying to regain match fitness.

Thompson should be reminded forcefully (and handed a hefty fine) of his obligations to the club, which needs every player available for selection in the fight against relegation.

If Thompson had half a brain he would have realised that.

Add into all that that we have Tugay out for a few weeks and this was Thommo's chance to actually get on the field and maybe put in a full 90 and impress Hughes.

He clearly blew it. Probably the biggest disapontment of all on Saturday.

Ya know, I think its great that Hughesy is doing his best to find some bargains to shore up the defense in teh transfer window. But, when I see Norwich put 3 by Bolton, and Southampton put two by Boro, I just don't think there are enough goals in this squad to stay up this year. I mean, honestly, where the hell are they gonna come from. Not Dickov. I don't see them coming from Gally or Bothroyd either. Jansen is injured. There is no real creative goalscoring force in midfield. At some point it needs to be addressed.

just when i was gonna bitch about getting stead some time, he comes in.

Thommo on for flitcroft now!

Flitty is creating nothing and just hoofing the ball away.

At some point ya gotta hope Thommo is healthy enough to play more than 20 minutes.

Stead or Gally, Bothroyd

Dickov is annoying me at the moment....he miss sitters...

i am with you on dickov. the man is all heart but, if we are gonna concede goals (and you know we will) we need some true golalscorers up top.

It seems there may be a chance that Kanoute will not make the trip according to some reports. That would not be a bad thing by any means.

I am feeling pretty confident about this one. Blackburn 2-1.

da,n good way to start a saturday, this makes the rest of the day at work much easier to deal with.

Do not like having Tugay on the field, but sparky knows best.

I gotta think Thompson comes in as a second half sub again for Tugay.

I hate being stuck at work during this. It sounds like Rovers have total control of the game though.
