Ok Gordon you got me there. I just have overlooked him somehow. I wonder if the malaise mentioned the other thread about how one feels about football has contributed to certain posters leaving in the last few years? I still read this site everyday but don't contribute like I did 6-7-8 yrs ago. Perhaps there are many in that category. Venkys have been a bad sickness almost unto death for our beloved club.

I enjoyed adopted scousers view on things as well. I miss Jordan's postings also

Whatever happened to AESF?(anti European smiths fan) heck no one has ever explained to me what happened to Peter Cucumber who created the songs back in yester years?

Yeah,here was the summary from what happened in that video: Paraguayan footballer Jose Pedrozo has been handed a 27-game ban for attempting to choke a referee during a Chilean second-division match at the weekend. The governing body of Chile's professional league handed down the penalty late on Tuesday. The ruling stated that the defender had been banned for 20 games for attempting to choke Marcelo Miranda, five more for trying to attack him again after being pulled away, and two more for the red card he received just moments before the incident. Pedrozo resigned from the Chilean club Rangers after the match on Saturday and said he was returning to Paraguay.

David Thompson?

Based on his profile it says he weighs 191 lbs and is only 6 ft tall.is that right? official site profile I thought he looked slimmer in the preseason pics so far.

Sorry to drag this thread back up but one of the other threads gave us a link to When Saturday Comes and when I searched their database for Blackburn articles this was ne of the hits.It takes us back to the dark days toward the end where Souey had lost the plot but makes for some interesting reading. Have a look here While I am thankful for all that Souness lead us to achieve,I am more thankful Sparky is our man now.

If England don't qualify,it is a foregone conclusion that Mclaren would be sacked.However,what would it take to get Barwick sacked?Would he still be left in charge to pick the next England manager?

Fife? I'm a little west and south of Fife!

Here was an interview Matty did for the LEP.I hope we see his name on the scoresheet many times this year ARTICLE

I bring back this old topic to point some unnecessary comments the Axe has chose to make.You wonder if these guys are baited into making a verbal error or just don't think about what they are saying(or possibly he knows exactly what he is saying and hoping for some type of reaction?) "I am happy at Blackburn now but you can never tell what will happen in the future"

It would appear that young Freddy Adu has reached a deal in principle to move to Benfica with the details to be ironed out next week according to this blog by Ives Galarcep,a prominent footie wrtier here in the States.This will probably be the best move for all parties involved.The playr can furhter develop in a different environment,the MLS can move on from self created hype that never materialized. Lead entry on this blog

The full table is here along with various slagging in comment section THE PROFESSOR’S ‘TOP 10 BUYS’ 1 Dimitar Berbatov (Spurs, £10.9m) 2 Benni McCarthy (Blackburn, £2.5m) 3 Javier Mascherano (Liverpool) 4 Obafemi Martins (Newcastle, £9m) 5 Michael Ballack (Chelsea, free) 6 Idan Tal (Bolton, free) 7 Carlos Tevez (West Ham) 8 Andreas Isaksson (Man City, £2m) 9 Tomas Rosicky (Arsenal, £6.8m) 10 Dirk Kuyt (Liverpool, £9m

Based on how much we paid for him Benni should be first in anybody's list Some professor has created a subjective formula that has ,in his estimation,determined Benni to be the 2nd most valuable transfer from last season(Berbatov was first).In his words,"Blackburn's Benni McCarthy was worth £10million to his club ".I wonder if we had made the FACup final if he would have been ranked first?
