This is exactly what I (we?) needed to hear. Only the most pessimistic among us can read between those lines, surely? Well played Benni.

Good article that, perhaps we can worry a bit less now. Did you see the moron posting the first comment on story?

"I wouldnt be at all bothered if McCarthy left, as long as we made a profit. Here are my reasons - you have to look beyond the goal tally. He might have scored 18 goals, but half where tap ins"

Perhaps the most stupid comment I've ever seen.

Did you notice the posters name? "Chris", as in Chris Nonda.. Clearly he just wants to start every game

Should be ready for saturday according to this

A great signing, no doubt.

My initial reaction was that he was loaned out to get match fit. Otherwise he would probably go for the rest of the season would he not?

Sometimes you have to question that FIFA ranking. I mean, I never claimed Norway was a good footballing nation, but they are 50th....! While Uzbekistan are 45th... Scotland 26th....

Blackburn are now near the foot of league two with a reputation of Local

Why don't you take them over then? That would be the ultimate challenge - to bring them up to prem and euro glory from the foot of league two!

Grow up you idiot.

Todd has won Fans Player of the Season twice, worn the armband with distinction and hardly put a foot wrong on the field in years.

Where do you work out this has been a drain on the wage bill ?

Stop it with the big letters, dramatised tantrums and cleverly disguised bad language and do your homework.

Setting a good example there with your personal abuse.

Gone to Wigan, according to BBC transfer news page. Can't find a dedicated article or mention of a fee.

I'm sure he will be in the squad for the Chelsea game. Hughes not risking him tonight as we are so short in midfield.... Here's hoping anyway.

He did come off the bench as a 2nd half sub yesterday though, whereas new signing Hæstad was left completely out in the cold without an explanation.. So guess they have faith in him still.

That thought also crossed my mind when Ooijer got injured, and again when Emo hacked down Vassell... You never know with Hughes. Glad he's not going to stop the deal now though.

Yeah moppy, helps to read back a bit

But anyway, yeah good move for him. Hope he gets to play for the first team. Maybe the gf situation (if true) has necessitated this move away from the area

Good luck Lucash! Thanks for everything!

Alright! Finally.

Now lets hope we go get Nesmachnyi asap.

Good stuff. We've signed someone.

Looking forward to seeing how this one works out. Or doesn't as the case may be.

Hmmm, not played for ages, just picked it up again. I remembered how much I hate the effect a single wrong comment can have. It's like the game is more about the comments you make than the tactics you use..

At the moment I've got to around november in the first season and not out of any cups, but lingering around 15th in the table with w2 d4 l4 after 10 games. Already a few key members of the squad have lost confidence in me.. including Savage, Todd, Axe and Roberts... I guess that basically means I'm doomed unless I can win a few games on the trot. Not easy as I have manure away and chelsea home in the next 4..

Any tips on how not to lose this job? Can't be arsed to try again.

Has he signed for West Ham then?

I don't understand the animosity. If he signs for them then that's punishment enough

A total waste of money.

I take it that's your prediction, seeing as he hasn't had a chance to establish fact yet, let alone actually sign the contract. Now that he's about to sign by the looks of it, let's get behind him and see what he can do.

So basically its a Dunn deal now then

Someone should get a text from Lee I suppose, as soon as he signs on the dotted line.

Surely you realise that that would weaken his hand negotiating his personal terms with us. Besides I don't think Dunn is in much of a position to threaten Brum after they have stuck by him through 3 seasons of injuries. They'd probably let him rot in the reserves until the summer.

I think we all know your view on Dunn by now.. No wonder you have so many posts.

At the moment I'm at the stage where I'm thinking rather Dunn than none.

Oh man
