I'm leaning towards it being Dean Saunders - it sounds like part of his machiavellian plan to take over the world (or at least Ewood Park)

Did he come on with a blank Rovers shirt and a mask then?

Looks like he's a goner!

LET - Cole's agent quoted

Dear God what a terrible deal for our club

''hes that good relegation fodder blackburn dont want him.wonder why''

Amazing how people jump to assumptions isn't it,the word clueless springs to mind with the above statement.

If we're relegation fodder then surely Fulham are 'Championship' contenders

I think Saturday's LET suggested that Souness's favoured pairing in centre-midfield might well be Ferguson and Tugay.

That would make matches good fun for the opposition

maybe the press conference tomorrow will tell all??

Probably not, hel! they'll probably forget to bring the kit

I seriously hope these papers are just picking up on the Sunday People's story and not having actual sources. Souness has redeemed himself somewhat in my eyes for his summer signings so far - if he was to release Cole and pay him off, well then he quite simply must go the way of the Russian royal family and be shot in a basement

Frankly mate I don't care and I don't know why you can't just let it go - nobody in their right mind buys the Sun or the Daily Mail (or any of that sh!t) anyway.

Clearly sales stats prove you are wrong.

And what makes you think you carrying on about it will change anything?

Frankly mate I don't care and I don't know why you can't just let it go - nobody in their right mind buys the Sun or the Daily Mail (or any of that sh!t) anyway.

Talks are now at an advanced stage between leeds club skipper Dominic Matteo and Blackburn. The Elland Road favourite could put pen to paper in the next 24 hours!!!

On a free, or with a transfer fee? On his ridiculous wages or has he taken a pay cut?

Watching live football at Ewood is like having sex with a beautiful woman

I can't remember that having sex with a beautiful woman caused me to :-

bite my nails to the quick; sit for 90 minutes all tensed up inside; wonder if a heart attack would ensue; grind my teeth in utter frustration and scuff my shoes on the ground in despair as I walked away despondently afterwards.

Obviously you're doing it wrong

the fact that very few of the audience failed to recognise one of our Heroes just shows the ignorance of some of todays supporters.

I agree, they should force kids at schools all across the country to read Garner's book , infact why not sing hymns able Garner at asemblies instead of them Christian hymns

Sounds like a sensible idea to me

Brian Clough wasn't it? Maybe it's true, but make it your own death and not someone else's.

Bill Shankley

Bill Shankly.

Coming from an era when goalkeepers were not the "untouchables" that they are today, the great man would no doubt have had a robust view of last night's events.

With regard to Swiss referee Urst Maier's performance, it is worth recalling one of his other classic quotes:

"The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game."

Regarding; 'Football's not a matter of life and death, it's more important than that'.

Bill Shankley actually...ahem...'recycled' the quote. It was originally first uttered by an American Football coach, whose name I can't remember but maybe some of the American posters on here may know who it was .

Was it Lombardi?

Probably, Vince has all the best quotes

You cannot possibly drop Owen, he's one of the few World Class players we have

''It might not be as much as a fan pays for their season ticket at another club, but so what? In my opinion £1,000 is a lot to pay for 2 season tickets and I could do a lot of things with it.''

To reiterate again 92er if cost is the main issue for you, you and your mrs could sit in the Riverside for roughly £500 and still be able to 'do a lot of things' with the other saved £500....with all the financial initiatives Rovers have done for the coming season I personally refuse to believe that cost is a viable excuse for non-renewal.

WHERE'S THE LOYALTY?

There isn't any, we have some of the worst fans in the league (oh and I have renewed my ticket using my student loan, despite living in Hull most of the year)

Oh and Parasyte, good lad (or lass )

Don't know why you bother watching it - I'm not wasting my time on a tournament organised by an association who don't send bung takers home in disgrace

What's the web address? I'm willing to give it a go

When do the team get home? I've got to organise a lynching possie for Sven our super Swede

RDrake,  WTF ?? explain yourself.

Don't like the team.

Don't like the country.

So why support them?

Because I was born here?

I want revenge for being born in the first place..

We all want fleurkin' revenge for you being born in the first place....

What exactly is stopping him/her from moving abroad?

what a match 

(Please don't use that word again) OFF!!! CHEATING HOME TOWN REFS!!!!!!!!IM FUMING!!

C'mon Abs, we're all narked off at the moment, but that's no way to talk to a lady. It ain't the Portuguese fault the ref was bent (but if there are any Swiss on the board, be prepared to get an earful)

I think they're hiding at the moment

We looked good, scored a early goal then we lost Rooney, people say were not a one man team, but after we lost Rooney we seemed lost,

We defended very deep in second half conceded the goal, we have to feel we were cheated/robbed over the disallowed goal, we came back well to bring it to 2-2 and as we have experienced before going to penalties we just cant seemed to do it.

Come on The Czech Republic

Even if Rooney was in the team, it would have been the same. It was the same against France. In my opinion what this match showed was-in how poor condition the English players were in. The Portuguese ran and ran and ran while the English players stood in their position trying to recover from the last attack.

I remember how our players reacted when Hodgson brought in that Italian fitness coach and we trained twice a day. All the training the players do throughout the year- it's in situations like this that it shows and I felt the English players looked tired far quicker than you would expect from a strong squad.

I think it had more to do with the fact we've played three games in seven days, with only three days rest after the last one (compared to Portugal's four). That coupled with a climate we're not used to (you can only aclimatise so much) and one the Portuguese were played against us somewhat.

Does anyone have the address to FIFA's headquarters? What a blatant fix - we weren't watching football we were watching ballet. Now even if you can look past that poor refereeing throughout the match you surely can't warrant an unsighted referee overturning the decision of the linesman for the last minute goal, can you

We weren't at our best, but deserved the win. No blame Darius, that took bottle

Who cares? We're not going to buy him now

I'm dissapointed with the De Pedro signing, I was actually hoping for another right winger
