Ah, cheers Bob. That explains why I haven't heard of him. Why doesn't he like us? What has he been saying?

pardon my ignorance but who the .. is 'Dinnis' and what has he been saying about us?

Love the pic! Caged northern monkeys on tour!

Better than following the entire game on teletext (like I had to last night). It weren't even on the radio. Everywhere I tuned in was broadcasting the Whammers game Watching it with the sound off is better than nowt.

that was away goals - 3-3 second leg 1-1 1st leg

have we ever actually won a UEFA cup match? Because I dont think we have. Can anyone confirm?

NOOOO! 2-2

Are there any more teams to be drawn? (not got wireless or telly on)

Everton 1-0 And we lose to Chelsea too!

nowt's changed much then

Back to the 1898 clip Quality find I just love this sort of stuff. At least we won!! Although the scoreline differs from this page Quite right! This proves that Blackburn Rovers 'invented' Football on TV. Maybe someone should claim royalties from Sky Sports.

the only bright spark this afternoon was that ex rover johnson scored the goal that beat burnley

thank goodness thats over

we are going to start the season bottom of the table

What did Neill do to get sent off? Was it justified?

two nil and we are down to 10. This does not bode well I was going to go to this one. Just as well i didnt *gloom*

are things any better 2nd half so far?

This may be old information and may be covered elsewhere, but has anyone else seen this..? Request for a Blackburn fan to do a Q&A prior to the Pompey match Any takers?

Latest re Nelson: we have agreed terms with Ryan Nelson on a new four year contract (yay!)

I've heard that it's actually illegal for companies not to accept cash as payment. That would explain why the judge threw the case out - and quite rightly too. I have been trying to get information on this seasons Rovers membership. Have been told they are having problems with it. The last i heard was that it was going to be another week at least but I was told that anyone who was a member last season would automatically be sent a form this time round. Hope that last bit is true

I'd have a ban on drums at England matches that play with the so-called England Supporters Band. Either learn some more tunes and learn to play properly or get rid. *thump*thump*thump*thump*thump*thump*thump* ... that's not drumming. My five-year-old-neice could do as well at that! the Rovers drummers are nowhere near as annoying (although I've never been sat right next to them). At least they try and match the atmosphere of the fans.

I still get nightmares where I'm trying to be somewhere in about 5 mins and everyone is holding me up and I can't move very fast. The nightmare 'monster' that used to chase me and my sister frequently was some sort of Dracula figure. I just knew he had a tall hat (like in Victorian days). We would constantly try to find places in the house to hide. (he never did find us) Once I had that sort of dream, woke up scared but then went back to sleep too quickly and had 'part 2' (ever since then if I've woken up after having had a nightmare, I will always give myself about half an hour before attempting to go back to sleep, so that the dream can get itself out of my subconscious) When I was a kid I used to dream that I was at the wheel of our car and was trying to drive it but couldn't because I didn't know how. ... but best of all.... Once I dreamt our front room sheepskin rug had grown to monster size and was chasing me down the alley at the back of our house (yes seriously).

That's just brilliant!

I guess, based on the overwhelming number of responses, that no-one else knows either The Serie A title could be worth keeping an eye on this time round because none of the 'big' teams are going to be involved. Can you just imagine how relegating Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal and Liverpool would affect the Premiership? It would make it into a real competition for a change and give 'also rans' (like us) not only a chance but a shot in the lime-light.
