Dowie? ......and some of you have the gaul to stick your noses up at eufa cup winning manager Houllier?

who's kiddin' who here

Although inexperienced at club level as a manager, there's something fresh,

positive and encouraging about Mark Hughes approach to the game,his possible appointment at the club would personally fill me with confidence for the future.

Sick to my stomach. This is just so unexpected. I've never felt so empty, so devestated in my life.

I can't see us being successful this season, simply because we have lost such a great manager and such a great man.

It's the worst possible time to leave us and the unrest the players face and the time it will take for a new manager to settle will cost us our premiership status.

Thankyou Souness, you've shown us the best days of our exsistence.

Give us a break Mr Jones!!!!!!!!

I know where you are coming from Dave but expectation and arrogance used to be the sole preserve of successful clubs.....so I thought!!

I was genuinely upset when Dalglish moved.......Indifferent sums my mood up perfectly with Souey.

Souness was good for us on the whole Rikko but his time had come.

Your fans are not making things easy for him already are they? with the greatest of respect where in gods name does this massive weight of expectation/arrogance come from your supporters?......................

GOOD LUCK TO SOUNESS.

Strachan,Sir Bobby or Hughes.

A NEW ERA IS ABOUT TO UNFOLD AT THIS FAMOUS OLD CLUB....KEEP THE FAITH!!

The Geordie fans have ego's to match Souness...love it!!!!!!

The Barcodes are seriously ###### off about Souness but I ask the question:

WHO THE HELL DO THEY THINK THEY ARE?

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THEIR 'MASSIVE' CLUB WON A TROPHY?

Calm down Bobby!...we should all know well enough by now that there is NO loyalty in football.

Lets all look forward to the new appointment of our manager rather than spitting feathers.

I'm glad he's gone at this early stage,will give the new manager time to access the situation.Thanks for the memories Souness but I had the feeling it was all going rather t1ts up in the end...he's left us with a lot of uncertainty at the present within the club.

What chance he starts to rape the club of our best players?

Yep! I have to hold my hand up and say fair play to Dickov, he's surprised me so far

I got my free copy from a rubbish skip outside Ewood park about '86,there were hundreds of the buggers.....I kid you not!!

Bob Crompton without question....his achievements are unmatched.

'We haven't had a penalty' boo ho ho,sob,sob,sob...PLEASE DONT BOTHER!!!

What you think mods?.....would be VERY popular!!

Much better proposition: how about one with how many years since we were last beaten by Burnley!

A real kick in the balls for 'em

How about donations from mb members towards this?..it could be our very own and on display at EVERY home game

Slightly of topic but why are there only Two Premiership matches today when the rest of the leagues have a full fixture list?

A tragic story indeed,so much talent and promise lost in a day.

His ill-fated trip to Rome will haunt him for the rest of his life.

His cup final goal,promotion winner at Preston,goals against Burnley and his overall skillful play...........

Thanks for the memories and the very best of luck Matt Jansen

Another frustrating 1-1. Stead. 'OR' (SEE BELOW)

***(3-0 BARCODES NOW FIRED UP BY NEW MANAGER)***

The biggest and best supported club in the worlds supporters are having a dig again at our support ...................

How in gods name is Gallagher not featuring when we have a waster like Yorke playing in the blue 'n' white?....its f'kin scandalous.

Short and sweet: we were robbed but by christ we can hold our heads up high tonight,well played lads!..Friedel was outstanding.

On a more serious note under 20k Rovers fans again and this for the visit of Utd.

Even if we do go down to our third defeat on the bounce lets just hope our team gives its all for the cause...we ask nothing more.

Agree with that selection..spot on!
