I am just wondering if Savage and Dunn have played together in mid-field in Big club? They should have been play together before so I think their partnership will not be a bad one.

Half year ago I won't agreed that the transfer of Dunn is a good deal. However, after half year, I have changed my mind. It seems that we don't have enough cover and we needs some cover that have acceptable standard. Dunn is the person. He needs not adapt to blackburn once again as he still be a blackburn guy...

Speaking about the truth, DB won't come to blackburn. I don't think Victoria will allow it to happen... I am not living in England but I have heard that the living style in Blackburn is not like London. So I don't think Victoria will like it. (sorry if I am wrong) But it is very great if he come to us. Hey guy, he will score a lot of freekicks. It is important. and boost the gate...

I really hope that hughes will give up europe by give more fresh leg to play. If he still keep the same player to play at the end of season we get nothing. Sorry for my negative words.

Each time at second half when opponents get a corner that corner will change to a goal. It seems that we did not train how to defend corner. One for Liverpool, another for Westham. If my memory is not wrong, I remember we lose a few more goal in corner. In FM it is difficult to score in corner so why it is so easy in reality??

Did they learn how to defend corner??? Last time lose a corner to liverpool and this time to westham (a lot more before). Did they forget to train defend corner??? Second thing, as I have said before, we did not have enough player. Our player seems very tired. Just I said after we lose to portsmouth, please hughes give up europe.

I think we have already known that he won't sign the contract for us a long long time ago. Only Hughes didn't know (or he did not want to know). It is old news already. In my heart the transfer has already happened... So let us talk about who will replace Neill? If we sold Neill two months ago then we will have 2M. If we sold him in Jan 07 then we will get 1M atmost...

I like Gally and Nonda upfront and benni come out in 2nd half after the opposite team get tied. I guess 2-1 ours:Benni, gamst them: Ooijer own goal...

If Hughes let Gally come out early then we needs not to be worry so long for an hours... Good Job! He earns 3 points for us and earn his starting place...

Actually I think that a 2-2 draw is a very good result as Salzburg is not a weak team I think. Now just hope that our defence is good enough to defend in second leg. This is the first time in this season that I am not "negative" after a match

Yes! Liverpool cannot win Everton also so they are crap team too. In my prediction table Liverpool lies in fifth ( I have already predict Liverpool cannot be better than last year). As I have said before, we should act like a strong team if we are going to be good. But do you think a team who cannot win Sheff Utd. is a strong team or will be capable to lies in the first half of table? Let's face it. I have not become negative last year because we act " like a strong team" last year. But for this year, we have already let in 6 goal, only Middlesbrough worse than us. And we have just have 1 goal which is the worst in the premiership now. Hughes said that he will see the table only after a few more match. I am very worry about this kind of words. I afraid that he will find that we are at the bottom when he first see the table several months later and it will be too late.

Anyone still think that we are capable to play in first four? We cannot win Sheff Utd... This means that our standard is just *similiar* (please note that we are lucky not to lose to them) to sheff Utd. I don't think we can win thursday as they are not weak team.

I really think that it is a good signing. FREE!! Where can you find a DC that have preimership experience now with free? Todd is too arrogant, Neill want to go, Nelsen injured. Ooijer Needs time to "fit" into english defence system... Of course he is not the best, but at least we have less chance to get more partnership like todd and neill, and I think his playing won't worser than them (as todd / neill partnership is already very bad )

Let the past be the past.

I think the problem is Ooijer and Gamst and roberts. They play very bad. Of course I don't expect that we will play very good in this game. But I think that if we are going to challenge in Europe, at least we should play like a strong team. I don't think we play good in this game or we play like a "strong team". After the starting of game I have already guessed that we won't win this one. Roberts cannot control ball and why don't hughes replace him by kuqi? Gamst is not Gamst last season. Lucas help chelsea to clear the ball. We just know how to hit long ball from bently to their 12 yards. How do you win game if you have just one method in attacking? In hong kong there is not much chance to see blackburn game, I can see this game this time. But when comparing this time with what I have seen last year, honestly, we play very bad. Of course you can tell me that I am too negative or we are just 3rd game in season ... But I cannot tell lie to myself. My heart tell me that we are not better than last year.

Ready for fighting for our premiership place? Our standard is very very far away from Chelsea. Stilll want to fight in europe? please forget it. Loss 6 goal in 3 match. Do anyone think that our defence is good enough?

I don't want to be negative. But if we can't win Everton then we can't win in europe match. Take note that everton played very bad in europe last year. If our target is first 4 then we should forget it. We have already lost 5 points. I still keep my words: forget about europe. Of course I hope I am wrong.

It is because I am studiying Computer (part time degree) and I am studying a course called "HCI" HCi is Human Computer Interface. The aim is to teach us (especially for software designer or web site designer) on how to design a better interface that make the visitor more willing to "browse" the website /using the software. example are: avoid inappropriate animation or flash as it will annoy people. Some user does not have flash and may go away because they won't download the plugin (For us, it is no problem, but for some novice people, they are afraid on download something and install somthing) there are a lot of "principle" so I don't quote it here. You need not listen to me as it is only my opinion.

Please delete the flash animation as it is annoying and does not fit to human computer interface design principle. For more HCI concept please go to http://www.useit.com and have a look.

Yes, We have beaten 1-3 last year by West ham. But we play more match this year than last year. Even in that match we control the match in first half. But for yesterday, portsmouth control the whole match. So when comparing with last year, our loss to portsmouth is much more "ugly" than we loss to west ham last year. And please don't forget, as we will play more match this year, the chance for our player to get injured will be much higher than last year. And the chance of using todd/neill/ mokoena as DC is very high. So, do you think that our defence yesterday is good enough? This setting may not be the last time this season.

If neill / nelsen / Khizanishvili cannot play, then we will lose 1-2 as we have no DC. If any of them available, we can draw 1-1.

We should forget about europe, our task for this season is to aviod going down to championship. After a 0-5 defeat in pre-season and following a 0-3 defeat in the first game, I don't think we are good enough. The performance just tell the truth. Be realistic guy.

Here is my guess: 1.Chelsea 2.Arsenal 3.Man Utd. 4.Tottenham 5.Liverpool 6.Newcastle 7.ROVERS 8.West Ham 9.Wigan 10.Bolton 11.Charlton 12.Portsmouth 13.Man City 14.Everton 15.Middlesbrough 16.Aston Villa 17.Reading 18.Fulham 19.Watford 20.Sheffield United I edited on 16/8, with aston villa get better result. i still think Reading will not down as their pre-season match between them and some strong team is not bad.

Thank you Philly Rover! I predict Rovers to be 13th in prediction and I am glad that it is wrong!

no. of factor: 1) whether chelsea can beat MU IF Chelsea can beat MU, then there is a chance that they won't play serriouly when they play with us, then we have chance to get mark. After that everyone will blame them for not playing seriouly and they will play seriouly when they play with barcode... IF chelsea lose to MU, then they will ply hard so as to get title ASAP, and they will play not so seriou with barcode and we will be beaten by barcode 2) how big club does If big club lose to barcode next week, they won't play seriouly with bolton and finally we will down to 8... 3)hope charlton home's form the same as away form Charlton home's form is better than away form. Yes, they have beaten by bolton, but charlton is away on that match, they beat portsmouth at home 1 more week ago... So we should have more "lady luck" to win them...
