It's a tricky one and no mistake. Is it.... 1. Leicester is the only one to have an unnecessary gap of two spaces? (between Leicester and "city") 2. Leicester's name is the only one spelt incorrectly with the use of "city" instead of "City"? 3. "Rovers" is the only team name to have an unnecessary lower case "r" in front of it? 4. Paul Dickov has played for Leicester and not the others? 5. They all play in blue? (no - that can't be right) 6. Blackburn Rovers are the only team to have won the Premier League? 7. Blackburn Rovers are the only team to have played in Europe in recent years? 8. Fulham? 9. Are Blackburn Rovers the only club to have made an official bid for Leicester player Paul Dickov? 10. Top TV funny man Frank Skinner supports West Brom but not the others? 11. (Back on topic - sort of) Blackburn Rovers are the only club trying to secure the services of Norwegian International Pedersen? Who knows? I'm at a loss. It's probably No. 8. I doubt we'll ever know the answer. -

Come now, bob. For the last time, it's DamiEn. You know, like AndREsen. And GallaGher. You're a disgrace. I'm Glad you weren't my English teacher at School Too right. I hold my hand up with the constant miss spelling of Damien but I thought I was getting the hang of Andresen and Gallagher. To be honest Philly you've completely shattered my confidence - instead of encouraging me you've knocked me for six. I'll be afraid to make another mistake now. Oh well. -

Unfortunately that is quite a big difference isn't it? Thing is we've been in exactly the same situation before with Damian Duff so we know how you feel. Sure it might not happen this summer but eventually, if he is good enough, he'll be off to another club. If it's any consolation if he does eventually come to Rovers and proves to be a fantastic player then the chances are eventually we'll lose him as well. Hopefully he'll be brilliant - but not too brilliant - or Abramovich will be back again. If he stops with Rovers he won't become a multi, multi millionaire...... thats the only difference. -
I think it's great, I bought the album off the back of that song and it's...well, utter rubbish. Great song though. It's "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" isn't it? Sorry for being pedantic. Tis a great tune and no mistake. The album is average at best though - hopefully they'll improve on the next one. It's all been done better before - try Powerage or Let There Be Rock - in fact any album by AC/DC when Bon Scott was the singer.

I know that transfers can take a lot of time and what have you but there seems to be one hell of a lot of mincing around going on here. What is it? 2 weeks after confirming our interest? Have we made a formal bid? No. I don't know, call me old fashioned ("You're old fashioned!") but perhaps that might help? I'd imagine that the negotiations will go something like this - but bear in mind this is a concise version of events that may take place over four or five weeks - a series of complex discussions involving Agents, the two football clubs, the player himself, bank managers, lawyers and various hangers on. Rovers: "We want him for £1.5m and we want him now" Tromsø: "No." R: "How's about £2m? But we still want him now." T: "No." R: "OK - Goodbye." -

bob fleming braking wind) Count yourself lucky Alan - I have to sit behind him!! So, to summarise:- JW Lower central £480 JW Blackburn End £455 BBE outer - no price change BBE behind Bob Fleming £12.35 (including free matchday magazine for wafting) Woah! Woah! Woah! Sweet Child of Mine!*- Wait just a minute - what's all this about you cheeky blighters?!? I turn my back for a few hours and when I return to this MB there's all sorts of accusations going on. I'd like to set the record straight here and now. I have never, ever, broken wind. Not even once. However - I intend to do so next season on a more than regular basis so bring your match day magazine 'cause boy are you going to need it Kayos. Now if that doesn't get a few more season ticket holders for the club I don't know what will. Superstella - I have to agree with you about the "More To Shout About" flyer - a complete waste of money. What's the point? Will BT start sending me a letter soon to tell me I should expect my bill in the next couple of days? Just send the ruddy thing - I'll know what it is when it turns up. Anyway, how much are first class stamps these days? I've absolutely no idea, let's call it a couple of quid. So that's £2 x say 20,000 on the mailing list. That's about £ 58,000 - you'd could pay Dwight Yorke's right arm off with that. (*Potter) -
Tonight I shall be at the Manchester Apollo to see The Charlatans. A bloody superb live band. Oh yes indeed.

Totally agree. A great offer. I knew they were offering a reduced rate but interest free is spot on. -
That's it - get behind the lads SS. Some under 16 year olds wouldnt understand

In his defence Sami Hyypia has been a good signing. £15m on three goalkeepers in two years - some going that.

bob fleming replied to speeeeeeedie's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
Mrs F can speak French, German and Italian. She actually teaches French and German. She's a smart arse. I can speak English but I am able to order drinks in most European Countries (with some prompting and the aid of an English speaking barmaid / barman). None of which is going to help us land Pedersen by the way but there there you go. Just out of interest what's Norwegian for "Look Pedersen what do you want to do? Stop here or go and play in the Premier League for Blackburn Rovers? Come on fella it's not too hard a decision is it?" -

It's also a case with the dingles that if you buy before a certain date you get a discount (couple of sheep and a turnip or something). I reckon they'll probably sell somewhere in the region of another 2000 between now and August - they're hardly going to sell more just because they're on sale earlier. I mean it's still rubbish whenever you buy it - "Is tha goin t'turf?" - "Ney lad - not sin thay stopped doin t'football". Anyway good news for us. Think I paid £380 for the BBE last year. It ain't cheap but they could have snuck another ton on there and I'd have still got one (don't tell Williams). Obviously there are thousands who wouldn't have I know that. Hopefully we won't lose too many ST Holders this season. A season ticket holding Trotter I know had his go up 20% to £480.00 last week. Still doesn't Sam do well with all these loan deals and free transfers - they mustn't have to pay them much in wages at all. -
If I'm right about this, when ever Rovers/Burnley or Preston Go up or down a coffin goes in or out of the ground and gets blessed - just an excuse to have a few beers I think. Please correct me if I'm wrong people but the details are something like... This is done in Bamber Bridge - inbetween Blackburn and Preston - where the inhabitants are a mixture of BRFC and PNE. As Lord Cocker has said whenever either team is relegated or promoted a coffin with the name BRFC or PNE on is taken from one pub in Brig and taken to another. So a burial or a resurrection (although the resurrection still means walking a coffin around the streets!?). I went to the last one - funnily enough it's an excuse to get hammered. It also took place at the same time as some sort of carnival thing with floats and that. Don't ask me what the hell was going on - I was drinking.

Fair play to you Mr R. It's taken you all of 19 posts and I reckon you're the biggest idiot I've ever come across on this board. It's some achievement.

You'd be looking at free transfers or loan deals or burnley f.c. It's not going to help is it? -
[Archived] Cole To Leave?
bob fleming replied to laughatthedingles's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
Fair do's. I wasn't actually saying we should sell him - just second guessing what I think may happen. I was making a case for the reasons as to why the club may decide to sell. We shall see. I certainly don't want him to go. I agree with you, we have to consider that it'll cost a few bob to replace him - probably more than we have to spend this summer (I'm guessing again). As for a "discredited Spanish bonding trip" - I thought that was Leicester City? -
Tall balding bloke ??? Must be JPW No it wasn't JPW - although he fits the description. It's strange but I can't remember his name either - he reads the board but doesn't post. It's just going to be one of those things that we'll never know. Since he turned up around the time of the fire drill I'm going to refer to him as Keith Lard. Erm, I think you mean me. Of course!! Alright sleepyjack!

Same here I'm afraid. Not only a Dunn situation but also a bit of a Todd situation as well, but maybe not as much as a Yorke situation. We were well and truly in the brown stuff and there was Cole asking for time off and not wanting to go on that break they went on to Spain. Next thing he reports Souness to the PFA. Not only that but this is the clubs last chance to get some money for him - as we all know he can walk away for nothing next summer. I can only see this going one way. As for Fowler. He's not been anywhere like his best for years now plus he's clearly over weight and doesn't look match fit. His Fruit and Veg stall might as well shut down for all the effort he puts in. I blame that Sonia. Much the same can be said of Robbie as well - and he's lost all his pace - and he's fallen out with his manager I think I read somewhere (that wouldn't happen at Rovers). I don't want either of them at Ewood. -

bob fleming replied to Alan75's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
That more or less sums up how I feel about them as well. I'm still coming to terms with that on Saturday. Goodness. I think the town will recover over the summer months after their visit. Truly amazing. 4000 Brummies - some in clowns outfits (no not Taylor) and some of them singing as well. We can only live in hope that one day we'll somehow get to the same sort of level as Birmingham City. They actually finished 10th this season. 10th!? Goodness me. They'll be pushing for 9th next year at this rate. And they're trying to buy Ronal..... sorry Emile Heskey. Oh well - I'm already bracing myself for next years visit. Shudder. -

Answer 1 Answer 2 Answer 3 Smart arse - bet he didn't back Cole at 6-1 though did he?

Well who was that I was talking to with Pringle on the back of his shirt then? He fitted that description. A good night I seem to recall. Good to put many names to faces and all that - met a lot of new people and Alan75 gave me a sneak preview of the Dunn questionnaire. Marvelous stuff. For some strange reason I recall "singing" some sort of karoke number with Tris and Gav - what the hell was all that about? I'm not eating salted peanuts ever again - mess with your mind them things.

bob fleming replied to Alan75's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
I somehow doubt the pie thing - he's never been scared of them before. It sounds like some sort of Homer Simpson dream - for Dunny to be showered by Pies. "Ow!! that hurt - Mmmmm Pie - Ow!! that hurt - Mmmmm Pie" etc for 90 minutes. I could do without that. (A bit like that Homers lobster / Duff skit that someone did on here once - very funny - something like "Boo Hoo - we've lost Duff - Hurrah! - £17m - Boo Hoo..." etc)
