  1. A while back now but did anyone see Dream Theater in Blackburn last November (11.11?)

    Thought it was phenominal that such a world class band played in Blackburn, does anyone know if there is sentimental history? Was a fantastic gig anyway, and a honour to be in the same room as such world class musicians. Even though their hardcore fans are as weird and scary as Trekkies and Ramblers.

  2. Theno is 100% correct and anyone who disagrees is only lying to themselves.

    I support Blackburn, and if I played for Blackburn and West Ham came in for me and offered to DOUBLE my wages, I'd be off like a shot? Disloyal? To you lot? No.

    Loyal to myself and my family, yes.

    Lucas Neill did absolutely nothing wrong other than honour his contract and then leave to the best overall offer. The fact we boo a very good servant every time he returns is not only embarrassing, but totally hypocrytical.

  3. Souness took over a team who were in the bottom half of the second tier of English football, got us a high as 6th, won a cup, but fell away and left us just outside the relegation zone of the top tier.

    Hughes can now go one of two ways, one which will see history lable him a less successful manager than Souness.

    I am confident he'll go t'other, but I still fear for him, he's not proven himself at anything yet.

    People say Souness was lucky to have Duff, well, at the end of this season we can evaluate Hughes over 3 full seasons, one of which he had his one outstanding match winner, Bellamy.

    For arguments sake would 6th (With Bellamy), 10th and 10th-12th this season be that impressive? You decide, but I'd take 10th (with domestic trophy), 6th and 15th combined with a promotion.

    This is perhaps more asking for some perspective on Souness, who I was always behind, as apposed to me trying to turn people on Hughes, who again I stress I totally support.

  4. I must admit what Jim says is very correct.

    So many promising managers have fallen by the wayside due to the fact they never got that big job offer, they became stale and slowly slipped away.

    What we have now is a period which will really defy Hughes' managerial career. He will either turn this around and prove he is destined for greatness, or he will continue, given time, down Souness' path.

    I have no opinion as yet, and remain 100% behind Hughes, but the similarities are potenitially there.

  5. Would we not go through on goal difference?

    The head to head rule is just stupid imo, should be goal difference.

    If that is the case, we just have to win by two clear goals to top the group I guess.

    No if Croatia score we need to win 4-1, I kid you not.

    I think head to head is a much better seperator, I mean if you team is built on a good defence why should you be penalised for not scoring tons.

    How teams faired against each other is a much more accurately of deciphering who's a better team.
