[Archived] Which is more preferable?

Wife beater?

OMG! Don't ask..sacrilege, iconoclasm, controversy, libel ... only a moment away on a message board!

[jim mk2]

PNE civilised, you must be joking. They are the most bitter of the all the Lancashire teams. They go on about how big they are. We all know they've done nothing in living memory and not much before that. Now that the wife beater is dead they have nothing left.

Who is this referring to ? If it's who I think it is, then it's libellous.

[mark1875]

I want Rovers to win, simple as that.

[The_Expert]

Rovers to get as many points as possible, every season, every game, no exceptions.

QPR will have something to prove, given their reverse yesterday at Dean Court.

[Hasta]

Burnley would probably go up if they didn't win another game all season. Derby and QPR are probably lucky that nobody is pushing for 6th spot otherwise they would be seriously looking over their shoulders on recent form.

Got to be a Rovers win

[longsiders1882]

If Burnley fans are living in the past Abs why is there a link to all the trophies Rovers have won on here - Weren't only two of them in the last 114 years? :-)

Oh and you can't libel the dead.

Plumbing the depths!

Technically correct but there is a law of malicious falsehood. Either way, it's out of order on here.

Can't take those trophies away though, just did it to dispell a classic Burnley myth about all success being bought by Jack Walker. We won one title, despite Man United spending more than us and breaking the transfer record to sign Andy Cole, replacing Cantona during his ban.

Nothing wrong with being proud of our history, fans of a lot of clubs would give their right nut to have such a trophy haul for a comparitively small club.

That leaves Mr Lord wide open then

[longsiders1882]

Hang fire, I didn't libel anybody - I was just pointing out the law.

Indeed KHOD - though to put the record straight Jack did bankroll the success you had from the late 80's on - without his money and vision it is beyond belief that you would have enjoyed the success you did. That isn't a criticism by the way, simple history - and if it isn't simple history, why do Rovers fans hold him in such high regard? I've read the United spent more than we did stuff - that doesn't cover wage bills in the years leading upto it, or indeed spend in the years prior to your win. It also doesn't address the spend to turnover ratios! Jack spent a small fortune to win the title, a little more to then get the club onto a near self sustaining footing and I would not have objected had somebody done it for my club, it must have been great for him, and you all, to live the dream for a while.

Anyhow, we need all the help we can get so I'll be hoping you win

[old darwen blue]

Blackburn Rovers FC the only team to be founder members of both the football and premier leagues who have won both.

Not if it is true, do some research

[RibbleValleyRover]

Let them get promoted, they deserve it, Proper manager and a better team.

Just goes to show it's not all about money and what a proper management structure and team can do.

Absolute bullshit!!! EVERY team tries to buy the league . Have burnley got every player for nothing ? Do burnley not buy players services ?

It don't matter whether you pay 100000000000 a week or buy a pub player a pint on Sunday morning .. It's still buying success .

[longsiders1882]

No bull at all abs - it is to do with whether you are spending money you generate or money from a benefactor.

Anyway my first comment was a bit of banter aimed at you abs - surprised nobody has pulled me up on it as I'm fairly sure you did win a couple of league 1 titles and FA cups early in the 20th century? - no point doing the whole Jack Walker debate over again, it is hardly likely we are going to agree is it.

And I'll still hope you can help us out, we are going to need all the help we can get.

[Steve Kean's Hypnotoad]

No point in letting QPR win, them and Derby have been woeful of late for their positions in the league. Burnley have been handed it on a silver platter.

Credit where credit is due,

[old darwen blue]

I think I may start watching Match of The Day again next season

[ABBEY]

I think we have the honour (?) of being the one of only 2 teams to have won all 4 divisions - the other being Wolves.

Now enough of all this defeatist nonsense, get out there and smash QPR :-)

I wish you hadn't posted that. I'm itching to know what you deleted now.

Rovers to win. I hope the Dingles do go up, then next season we can watch them getting tubbed every week. Then to rub it in, swap leagues with them at the end of the season.
