[Archived] 2011/12: The Final Countdown

[Athlete]

Nicko on twitter basically saying that he doesn't think there is any chance that Venky's will leave in the summer (or words to that effect)

anything to do with parachute money by any chance ??

It truly is near the end. Even all the Clarets at work and where I live (in enemy territory) have stopped baiting me and give me a look as if I'm recently bereaved.

In fairness to one of them, he made the sympathetic point that whilst he could understand nobody wanting to buy a season ticket next season, I shouldn't be put off because it was "my" club after all. The implication being - not "theirs". Whoever owns the shares and the legal title to it.

Not for nothing do the Burnley fans refer to him as Agent Kean.

[roverandout]

miker, awsome job? is that sarcasm?

[JAL]

After reading the LT this morning, afraid to say that we'll be lucky to pick up another point. This morning's LT reports that Givet did not refuse to play on Saturday, he was dropped from the squad after a "heated" exchange of words with Kean at the hotel pre-match. Kean has lost control of the dressing room, when you have arguments pre-match with key players then the result is that you get performances ala Saturday.

Lets get this one out to the fans.......... Kean loses the dressing room.

Who killed Blackburn Rovers ? Why ? And what was the reason for ?

Not us say the owners from Asia's shore

We don't even know the score

It's in our plan to grow the brand

Why can't you fans just understand ?

What's your problem with Steve Kean ?

He's our man, don't vent your spleen

We think he's fine , we think he's great

He's not the one that you should hate.

It wasn't us that made the Rovers fall

No you can't blame us at all.

Who killed Blackburn Rovers ? Why ? And what was the reason for ?

Not me said the manager, glass in hand

We're all going to the promised land

It's not my fault, my hands are tied

I'm not the only one that's lied

If I hadn't had that little drink

We wouldn't be going down the sink

You want me out ? You've lost the plot !

Other managers say I'm ###### hot.

It wasn't me who made the Rovers fall

No you can't blame me at all.

Who killed Blackburn Rovers ? Why ? And what was the reason for ?

Not us say the Walker Trust

Did you expect us to go bust ?

No point crying about Big Jack

Nowt you say wll bring him back

You must see we had to bail out

Ain't no reason to jump and shout

We did our best, we shopped around

It's not our fault you got the clown

It wasn't us who made the Rovers fall

No you can't blame us at all.

Who killed Blackburn Rovers ? Why ? And what was the reason for ?

Not us say the pundits on T.V.

We're only saying what we see

To us it's only just a game

Time you saw it just the same

We don't like Ewood Park

It's always cold, it's always dark

For all of us you're just a joke

Lancashire ? We'll take the 'Smoke '.

It wasn't us that made the Rovers fall

No you can't blame us at all.

Who killed Blackburn Rovers ? Why ? And what was the reason for ?

Not me said an agent bung in hand

You're only fans, We own the stand

My players all have expensive tastes

Chrome plated cars ? That's not a waste

I'm under pressure, Fergie's on the " bone "

" I'll swap you Diouff for Phil Jones "

That's what I call a stroke of luck

Who says agents don't give a ----.

It wasn't me that made the Rovers fall

No you can't blame me at all

Who killed Blackburn Rovers ? Why ? And what was the reason for ?

Not me said the player via his tweet

We're up for it, we won't get beat

I'll kiss the badge, give you a wave

Our situations not so grave

I'd love to play , I really would

Problem is my head's not " good "

The manager speaks, he should know

He leaves me out, I'll have to go.

It wasn't us that made the Rovers fall

No you can't blame us at all.

Who killed Blackburn Rovers ? Why ? And what was the reason for ?

Not me said the football writer

Pounding print on his old typewriter

Saying " The press ain't to blame "

You know we've got to play the game

We can't afford to rock the boat

It's not as simple as you thought

We only tell you want we think

It's down to you to find the stink.

It wasn't me that made the Rovers fall

No you can't blame me at all

Who killed Blackburn Rovers ? Why ? And what was the reason for ?

Not me said the Premier League chief

" Venkies are beyond belief ? "

I can't agree, we did the checks

We asked their bank, they passed the spec's

I know what's wrong with all of you

You're just racists , through and through

We did our best now go away

It's Burnley next you've got to play

It wasn't me that made the Rovers fall

No you can't blame me at all

Who killed Blackburn Rovers ? Why ? And what was the reason for ?

Not us said the Pune group

Go to India ? What a coup

It's just a jaunt, we'll do no harm

I've never seen a chicken farm

We thought we'd go and have our say

A trip like this, who would say nay ?

The Venkies showed their friendly side

Shame they took us for a ride.

It wasn't us that made the Rovers fall

No you can't blame us at all

With appologies to Bob Dylan and the late Davey Moore.

Truly brilliant.

Fantastic work, Tyrone.

[Miker]

miker, awsome job? is that sarcasm?

Sorry I should've put that in quotation marks.

[den]

Great stuff Tyrone. Didn't know you were hiding a talent like that.

[Ewood Spark]

Looks like you forgot a verse ......

Who killed Blackburn Rovers? Why? And what was the reason for?

It was not me the Trembler cried,

I cannot be blamed for the slide.

I protested clad in yellow and black,

just to give 'Coco' some flack.

Why should I hang my head in shame?

A poisonous atmosphere wasn't my aim,

It wasn't my intention as a 'true fan', 

To become the other teams 12th man.

It wasn't me that made rovers fall.

No you can't blame me at all.

I stopped reading to, listening to and believing anything Nicko has said since he told us what a great manager Steve Kean would be...

Welcome back ES, what is your take on events? You reckon the Tremblers may have had a point after all?

Got it in one , there !!

[Stuart]

Magnificent Tyrone. Truly.

Wigan 1-0 up.

Di Santo of all people.

2-0 WTF

[DE.]

Wigan deserve to stay up, they've been an absolute credit to their manager and themselves over the last few weeks. They put our club to shame.

[Miker]

Wigan showing how to play when you're fighting to survive.

+100

[nick123]

Amazing !!!!

Well drilled, organised, fit, adventurous.... Everything we are not...

[Athlete]

Wigan showing how to play when you're fighting to survive.

shame our lot can't show the same passion

[Stuart]

Al- habsi just pulled off a worldie.

Can still see Arsenal getting back into this but Wigan are fighting like they want it.

I expect Bolton and QPR will be worried.

[Ferrit]

Completely agree with the comments above but then I would expect them to fight, they have a competent manager and an owner that is football savvy after all.

[Stuart]

1-2

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

Wigan deserve to stay up, way more so then we do. Credit where its due, they've played brilliantly over the past month or two.

[bob fleming]

1-2

Arsenal are murdering them now. It's as if Martinez has been possessed by Kean or something.

[sharpysharps]

Wigan deserve to stay up, way more so then we do. Credit where its due, they've played brilliantly over the past month or two.

Spot on, Martinez deserves a bigger job if he keeps Wigan up again, the fact that the guy is such a nice bloke and dedicated to the club thrown into the mix just makes him one of the all round good guys of English football. BRFC however have the weasel of English football at the helm.
