get over it Nayef, Halsey is the biggest muppet since Fozzie bear. Rovers still have the stigma created by moanalot and whinger and it still attracts the wrong attention from referees and the media. In any case the decision would not have been reversed and indeed Rovers are not appealing on this occasion. In relation to Dunn, he could just be the missing link and replacement for Tugay - Yes I have slated, hung drawn and quartered him and slagged him off - but I really do see this lad as being the Rovers creator ala Tugay in the near future. bring him home if he can keep fit for the rest of this season.

wham are currently winning at big city fc 2-1, not much between the teams although wham appear to be a little bit better organised. big city club hit with 2 hamstring injuries before half time dunn just looks like he wants to come home stop press another brum injury, all subs used tiny taylor injured !

a Rovers win

Rovers shouldhave had him in the starting line up instead of Thompson

for me the team was the wrong first 11 today. Rovers should have had 4-4-2 with Kuqi partnering Bellamy. Thompson should not have started, he is not yet fit enough and should have kept a cameo role. The referee had a stinker again, cant really comment on the handball - I will wait for footie first - but please halsey, your stats read that you intercepted more balls than the whole of the everton defence together I can only put his performance alongside Ashby's versus manure when he sent Henning packing for nothing The saddest thing about today is that Rovers have now been undone by two of the poorest teams in the league at Ewood and have conceded 5 goals in the process without scoring. Everton were more effective with 11 Rovers players on the park, when toddy left us Rovers were still the better team and were up until the last 10 minutes. MGP had a shocker bentley did ok in fits and starts No comment on the rest as I am still fuming about the result

check out bbc it says he has been replaced by Halsey

and it was probably that money which has allowed us to go and sort out the back room staff and implement such a successfu work ethic thanks graham, and dean and so on I dont think BFS Allardyce will do much better either, he dont like prima donnas and newcastle is full of them

jbn this govenment is systematically robbing every single one of its workers the taxes are greater than the current rate of inflation council tax is nearing another 4% rise for next year with the average wage rise no more thatn 2.4% car tax is getting more expensive yet the roads are not any better fuel is rocketing vat is being added to EVERYTHING the police/ambulance and fire service all want US to pay an extra 1.2% extra on top of the additions to council tax get my point ? we are paying and for what exactly ?

Rovers have the ability to win at least 5 of those games which would be nice. JHC if we won all 7 then how good would that be, running into the bolton boys on a run that good, even better if we have won the carling cup tie and the fa cup tie as well. People can dream, but hey, its nearly Christmas Time, the season of dreams

I definately think Everton are worse off for the fact Cahill is now out of the game. Its difficult to see what midfield they will put out, especially if Arteta does not pass a fitness test. It will certainly be interesting

Vinjay a simple solution get yourself into politics get elected as an MP or Mayor apply for city status for Blackburn As head of local government, sack all the labour mps, the libs and the other dross, head a one man government and divert all of lancashires cash into BRFC, buying out the Walker stake. That might just make you happy

boo hoo boo hoo

come on Jim he is in his 30's not his 70's

get in there .....number 3 Blackburn Rovers wil play.........number 5 Doncaster Rovers come on God, you know it makes sense, and oh by the way man u v arsenal as well !!

only one conclusion can be drawn from this game to date Savage must be on the BENCH at the very most for Saturday

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssss

wow caution last time we got some last minute equalisers they scored with the last kick of the game pay back me thinks

demoralised

savage foul charlton goal

Ozz I think Jansen has a thigh strain Rover have one disallowed and Bellamy is running the defence ragged

If he pleads guilty or is found guilty, should he receive a ban, does it come into force immediately ?

a win would be nice and without the need for extra time

Well, this Saturday sees the first visit to Lancashire from a team eminating from the original City of Thieves and OH MY how the tables have turned in the past 12 months. Last season we saw a vibrant (sometimes) Everton team, hell bent on obtaining 1-0 wins, a feat they succeeded well enough to grant them a chance in the Champions League. Unfortunately for them, they were unable to get any sort of a kind of positive result when playing the Boys from Ewood. at the same time, last season saw Rovers the struggling outfit, fighting for their lives in the aftermath of the Souness Regime. This Saturday sees the very opposite. Rovers welcome an Everton side buoyed by a couple of decent results sandwiched between some seriously poor displays, their last away game resulting in a 4-0 loss at WBA of all places. For us at Ewood, we see a different team, esconced in the middle tier of teams looking to achieve some sort of top 8 finish, a team now well reknowned for their fight, their tenacity and more recently a team known to be able to play outstanding football. So, what can we expect on Saturday ? A negative Everton display ? the other Everton first 11 ? A team without any spirit ? I asked a good mate of mine, Ste, who is a season ticket holder at EFC and who will be one of the visiting fans at ewood on Saturday, a few questions to find out what it is like being the most successful team in Merseyside by finishing above Liverpool and then seeing their achievement rubbed in dog muck as their red counterparts only went and won the Champions League in the most dramatic of styles - a way in whcih we will probably never see a team come back from 3-0 down in the final to prize away footballs biggest domestic prize. Ste, how do you see the change in fortune for your side this season ? I mean a fantastic season last year saw your hopes and dreams rise from the ashes burned many many years ago ? Well, last year was just superb. We had fight and determination but most of all a solid team spirit, this seems to be absent this season, especially when playing away from home. We seriously miss Graveson and Carsley and injuries have certainly played their part with Beattie, VDM and Ferguson. Bent has gone awol and of course the fact that our early exit from European competition has had a seriously negative effect on the club. We can normally expect 8000 away fans at our ground, what factors do you think are playing the most part in keeping supporters away from the grounds ? There is dismay at our club at the away fans being priced out of attending games. I mean how can Chelski justify £48 ? Likewise the Midland clubs average £35-£38 and some dont even offer concessions. the price of attending games is shooting through the roof and it is impossible to keep paying those kind of prices. How is Moyes coping with the sudden downturn in perofrmances and does he retain the support of the fans ? DM is the man for the job, I think the fans against him are in a serious minority. There is no doubt he has the class to go on to manage a big club, he has recently been muted for MUFC and the Rangers job. he certainly has got the best out of players available to him, examples are weir, ferguson and hibbert. How did you enjoy European competition ? Blackburn cant really comment can they ? (I then point out to him the number f season we have been there and he backs down). The performances were unacceptable say no more. What kind of game can we expect Everton to play ? I think 4-5-1 sounds favourable, its a game we cannot afford to lose. Playing Beattie up front alone supported by cahill and VDM and then later on if its a stalemate revert to 4-4-2 with Bent joining Beattie up front. The main thing for Everton is to counter Rovers midfield which is undoubtedly one of the hardest in the league, we also have to cripple Bellamy at the earliest opportunity as none of the defenders have his pace, even YOBO. Which Rovers players do you fear ? Pederson has a wicked shot, Bellamy has speed, Savage has the nouse to wind anyone up (watch out Cahill) and in Nelsen and Todd PLUS Neill, its the hardest defence as well. There is danger all over as we have seen this season. Can I tempt you to a prediction ? Hughes to be Man U manager by the start of next season ! As to the match either 1-1 or a scrappy by the odd goal win, mind you the wya we have played away after a win suggests a 3 goal beating ! I can definately see a sending off for BOTH teams. Who is your favourite ex-player who has appeared for both teams and why ? Well, I can think of Jim Arnold, John Bailey, Glenn Keeley and Duncan mckenzie, are there any more ? Out of that lot it has to be McKenzie. the most skilfull player ever to grace the turf at Everton. and finally........ Being someone in the know....... How many cars do you think will get nicked within the 2 hours immediately after the match ? "NO COMMENT" Cheers Ste, my own prediction is a Rovers 2-0 win. My favourite player from both teams has to be Howard Kendall and based on the past few years I think 5 cars will get nicked from around Ewood, 3 to turn up in Merseyside and the other 2 will be found burned out oh YES, Nearly forgot, can you remember what you were doing on that famous night in May when the team in Red beat AC Milan to win th CL cup for the 5th time, an unprecedented feat ? yes, drowning my sorrows

qualified to the hilt means only one thing lacking common sense

absolute crud, this government know only one thing, and that is how to rob people of their hard earned cash
