Damn! I got one wrong! Bad Points 3.......Boro are still sh1t! If form is to be believed I guess Southgate is now in line for the England managers job.

Well done Jim. Never a truer word was spoken. I'll never doubt your words again.

As was pointed out last night Carson was about the worst keeper to visit Ewood last season. He had a nightmare game for Charlton. I said before the start that playing him for such an important match was absolute stupidity. No doubt that is the poor bgugers international career well and truly over.

Really Blueboy? Better send him Sir Tom Finney's phone number then. He had more class in his bell end than 10 David Beckhams! Oh and he could pronounce 'th' as 'th' and not 'f' and didn't have an embarrasingly stupid chavvy tattoo on his bloody neck either!

Oddly enough the media darlings were both crap again! Whoever claims that those two are anything other than good club players is delusional. I trust the next manager will have the balls to drop the pair of em.

David Lacey makes many good points but I feel fairly certain that we would have qualified with Allardyce in charge. I guess we'll never know though.

They must have got their pay rise then.

This is now sick and shambolic! Maclaren knows that he is a dead man walking and all this is obviously now a publicity / marketing move to get the entire Beckham PLC circus to limp and stutter pant past 100 games for England. I suggest that beneficiaries must now include Maclaren after his squirm making flight to LA to talk to Beckhams 'fitness' consultants.

He's a knob and won't be in that job in a couple of months. When Maclaren was born they threw away the wrong bit! Imagine the angst he would have gone through and the bollax of a team selection if Hargreaves had been fit as well? Bentley would be well advised to ring in sick!

How can they tell that he was drunk though?

I know one thing............ He'll never be as good as the player that we sold. Move on.

Not at all. Just theoretically (obviously) trying to improve our team. I've got my football head on Fife not my 'Mr Angry of Scotland' one.

Weren't we reported to be sniffing around in his direction a couple of seasons ago?

Don't overdo it Fife we might just hold you to that! I rem comments in a similar vein came out when we signed the likes of Todd, Sav and Batty.

Bit sarky Bucky. But competative and even combatative (when necessary) definitely, but I don't think that Hughes would want us deemed thuggish. Supporting a team that is a soft touch has been a curse of BRFC fans for decades. Must say that I admire and prefer Hughes version of 'proper men' rather than the 'proper men' / 'rubber dinghy men' of previous managers.

C'mon Neil we all know that brain cells are the last thing that professional players need.

err.... as opposed to the Axe?

Maybe there's a clue there.

It wont happen of course but lets hope the mags sack him cos I'd wager Hughes would sign him in an instant ....... and imo he'd be exactly the player that we need. All he'd need would be a bit of astute management.

Get off his back you chumps! He is in the middle of a run of poor form but rem Hughes was resting him and he is now only playing through necessity! Sav is hurt so Dunny has had to move inside. Dissing him is simply unfair but oh so typical of the type of supporter that BRFC have in abundance, those who quite simply have to have a hate figure on the pitch! Probably a psychological weakness among certain members of society but in the last 10 years alone it's seen off the likes of Wilcox, Atkins, Carsley (anybody think he could still do a damned good job for us now btw?) Davies and most ludicrously Tim Sherwood.... a player who in our team now really could take us to the next level. We all know that MGP is a good player so rem that form is temporary but class is permanent. 7 games won on the spin, followed by a draw to big spending Liverpool and a defeat to the millionaires and Champions! Yet we have moaners! Open your bloody eyes and get a life you lot!

It's odd but I think I'm turning into a Sunderland supporter!

We all know that it wont stop MU anybody coming in for Hughes if they want him enough, but is does mean that they will have to pay us more for him.

Rubbish tackle all round .......... imo he was aiming for his blollox.

Wonder how many clauses are incuded in that?

FLB.... I've only got two cheeks to turn so stop goading for no reason.
