nice one pabby - good video of todd doing rvp. have watched it over and over again, forget the movement of van persie for now, study todd closely and he makes a definate movement to the right - APPEARS to jump into him and the arm/elbow hits him full on forearm smash. Have seen a photo of van persie after the impact sent backwards almost vertically. I would suspect though that todd didn`t intend to do the damage that occurred hence the hound dog expression seen on sky for what seemed like an age and well described by another poster.

using the term "best" loosely unfortunately the media has latched on to the "hughes style", obviously sky are in there as well wanting ENTERTAINING footy - looks like you`ve been rumbled big time

you lot on here need to get a reality check. Have a look at the pic on the back page of the sunday express. Todd with his arm out and in van persies face - todd`s expression said it all "have some of that" Was quite impressed with him previously especially when he came to us to be taught how to play. under hughes hes gone down - his idea of defending is arms out and either pull, kick, push or wrestle the player to the ground. sheer class

Good stuff from Borneo Is it little wonder about all the criticism heaped on you lot. The semis are, after the final itself, the showpiece games. What did the viewing millions get - one team wanting to play football and win the other setting out to stop them by fair means or foul. Usually the latter. Look at the 10 outfield players EVERY SINGLE ONE, bar pedersen is of the same mould so what is the outcome, just what we got. It would have been more productive to have had a go, footballing wise, and got hammered than to earn the despise of the nation which appears to be the result. todd needs sorting out again, a spell with Stan at Gillingham should do the trick.

8,000 down only another 22,000 to go then Seriously though as a Claret I would guarantee us selling 30,000 not a problem BUT the difference being that it would be our cup final. Can`t believe the kick off time and venue. Heads should roll at the fa as they are taking the mick. Personally fed up with these people messing about with OUR wonderful game and expecting us just to get on with it and to shell out massive amounts of money along the way. If, as we so nearly did get in the semi, would have been seriously tempted to give them 2 fingers, stay at home and watch it on the box and save my brass for the final ahem! Fair do`s to the ones that do go (come on you gooners!) but ALSO fair do`s to those that don`t (by way of protest/cost etc)

How lucky was that! Especially tugays effort If thats the best you can manage these days taking everything into consideration your in a pretty bad way. Fair play you`ve won 2-1 BUT savage should have been off in first few minutes (again!), we were running on empty in 2nd half whereas your lot could use all three subs when needed, fresh legs and all that. Its a big if but if that was your full strength team you wouldn`t have ragged it IF we could have had Robbie and Chappy still with us, Mcgreal fit, Adi akinbiyi cuptied, etc. Hopefully leicester will sort out your 2 leicester rejects in the next game. By the way your fans were loud tonight ........in the last 5 minutes

Just to put you right on your own ground abbey . It was a blue that said on the Clarets mad website that 1,000 seats on both the darwen end and the jwalker stand are being kept back for segregation purposes. Whoever sells all there tickets first, obviously BFC, will get the extra. He said the upper tier sits 3,000 and the lower 5,000 = 8,000

Any chance of any spare tickets at your place???? Apparently only a few hunded tickets left for Clarets after today - not even going to go on open sale. There has been some mention of 1,000 extra tickets being made available by doing away with the empty "segregation seats" on either the BFC or brfc end. Hope so then we`ll have 8,000!!!

Time for your lot to pack in IF theycan`t get past the super Clarets next tuesday. Whilst brfc are away again sunning themselves in Dubai we have got v. hard games at Derby tonight then big clash with PNE on saturday. Already deprived of half first choice central defence in Mcgreal and Sinclair through injuries. Looks like we`ll have just 11 fit players with branch as 1 decent sub (as it stands at present!) No chance of resting anyone or even tactical subs on the night. Still think we`ll beat ya

You can stick your plane where the sun don`t shine. By way of retribution and just to rile u lot. Been looking back at gate figures etc for last time we met. Attendance at Hallowed Turf 21,369 of which 2,979 were visitors. Attendance at deadwood 23,442. We had to get tickets at front of jackwalkers stand and from there the Burnley looked full bar the first few rows left unsold for security reasons. Now u lot were on the pushing for/on the verge of promotion but still thousands upon thousands of empty seats. Any answers to that one? (Hopefully a bit more intelligent and not of the usual moronic type)

duffs minder, take no notice of a lot of what has been posted . ok it`ll be passionate and very vocal but thats it (except for the usual burberry/chav types) Depends where you`re sat. ok in Bob lord and jimmy mac upper (family) Behind goals in jimmy mac lower and old longside, especially towards the away end, cant think why will be pretty hostile! By the way, when we had to come to your place last time we actually sold all our tickets didn`t have a problem sitting in the front of the lower jackwalkers stand.

Very disappointed with hughes `style` of play, ie kick chelsea out of the game. Paid £6 ppv to watch chelsea and what was seen. Apparently John Terry was almost nobbled in first few minutes, Robben scores a great goal then is put out of the game. Further assaults on Dufff (twice) and the goalkeeper (twice) went virtually unpunished by useless referee. blackburn are already EASILY the dirtiest team in that division - last night another 5 or 6 should have been booked possibly leading to sendings off. Hope to have a strong ref at the Hallowed Turf on the 20th not the spineless rennie

Great draw. As rovertime says on the Claretsmad website, great draw for east lancs. Don`t be too confident. Everythings on a much more even playing field than before now jacks dosh isn`t so plentiful. Another 1-0 to the Super Clarets

On the contrary he must stay. See you in the 1st div next season. Would love to see it (and Leeds) and see how you handle the real world without the sky money
