I wouldn't put a team of rookies out, but one or two fresh faces wouldn't go amiss. We've carried one or two passengers this year anyway. Can't be any harm at all in giving say a striker a couple of games, especially with us being so tight at the back.

The charge has been chucked out - see official site. What a bl00dy waste of everyone's time!

You've gottsa laugh you really have!

Bottom line is that no-one should underestimate, or overlook, what he did during his first three years - I for one had abandoned all hope of seeing us go back up before Souness got hold them. Staying with the bottom line, no-one should forget that his last 18 months here were ... regrettable. Personal feuds, regrettable purchases, bewildering tactics ... there wasn't that much that went right (although some of it, eg inhuries to players, wasn't down to him). Graeme Souness - 66% heaven, 33% hell.

But strangely enough Duff was knocking them in from all angles, and went on record as saying that Saunders had helped him. Not necessarily saying that Saunders is a good coach, but I am saying that it isn't as cut-and-dried as you think.

insert :smiley with tongue poking out mocking this statement: Neill was in the top three players on the field I might be losing my faculties, but I'm sure Neill was at fault for the first. Mind you, I didn't have a good view of teh telly in the pub! He lost the man he was marking on the edge of the box to needlessly challenge for a header that would've come to him anyway had he stayed where he was. If the Arsenal player had got a header in then it would've been the fault of the man marking him on the other side. Once all three players contrived to miss the header, it went to an Arsenal man in acres of space, and a goal was pretty much a formality by then. I'm sure others will disagree but for me he is just not good enough, he can't mark properly, at least not consistently. Fair enough I don't see many games, but that is my view.

What the Standard said the day after we beat Spurs in Cardiff was amusing. They jumped right out of their prams!

You really are a lemon, aren't you? "EVERY SINGLE ONE" (apart from one - ooops) "More productive to have ... got hammered" (yep, would do morale the world of good as we strive for the points to take us to safety. Sounds liek Suicide Squad mentality that) Plonker!

Oh for chrissakes, drop the anglo-american @#/? man!

He's really lost it, Newcastle are a joke club at the moment. Shame really, as he was a good manager once. He could've turned Newcastle into a team capable of challenging Man U/ Arsenal/ Chelsea. But that ain't going to happen, is it?!

Unfortunate choice of phrase! Glad I didn't cause offence in the end, none was intended ...

Thought it was ironic that Wenger slated our approach to the game ... this is a guy who has managed the Premiership team with the worst discipllinary record ever. They don't like it when they can't have it all their way, do they?

Ignore 'em. Pundits are always contraversial, trying to make money off the back of footy. Fans buy into it, reputations are made and lo and behold Blackburn are evil. Pile of.

Just been doing some drunken kung fu round the house to alleviate some frustration ... what a bad idea. Sent my elbow backwards at maximum force ... into the door jamb. The pain was incredible. It's taken 15 minutes for me to feel the fingers again. Going to be a massive bruise on my elbow tomorrow ... what a plonker!

Yep, thought Lucas was excellent for the opening goal.

I'll put it down to transatlantic differences. If you want to insult me, I couldn't really give a toss. If she's cool to do it, no worries (although personally I'm OK if we didn't win again this season - I don't want to participate in it). But I'm just worried she is just going with the flow when she doesn't want to. Apologies if that causes offence, but I'd hate to see someone exploited. And yes, you know her - I don't, but I am exercising my right to an opinion. Thanks.

I can exlusively reveal that we have sold more tickets.

Can't see him lasting more than 18 months there. Mind you they might go bust first.

FFS. There is a general decline amongst Premiership teams attendances - this ia a % decline. Because there's been a decline from a high figure, it isn't noticeable when it comes to them having to shift 30k tickets for a cup semi-final. Although didn't someone mention that Arsenal were selling their tickets on ticket master? Not sure every other Prem team would have sold their allocation - Bolton and Fulham might not have, for example. I don't think we have "lost" fans forever - it's just getting too bluddy expensive at the moment, that is all. I'm sure we'd take a damn sight more than 15k with us if we got to the final ...

Er ... because a lot can happen in ten years. You can't take an attendance from ten years ago, compare it to one now, and hope to draw meaningful conclusions from it - what were you hoping to prove? And as I said, there is a general (recent) trend towards lower attendances in the Premiership - it isn't just us!

And how many of those people have got £330 mill in the bank, like Jack had? "Showing passion for his work and his team" - honestly what a load of old cobblers. Get in the real world mate.

There's a general trend of falling attendances in the premiership, it's niot just Blackburn. Why the hand-wringing? It's not anything anyone on here can do, no-one is going to be able to double the amount of peopel we take.

You poor, poor cow. If you don't want to do it, I suggest you back out. I for one wouldn't blame you. Not that I'll win any popularity contests for that!

Unlucky 14.05, sounds an absolute balls-up. Mind you a combination of national rail and FA bound to end in chaos.

You acknowledge that but STILL whinge. Just give it a rest man, it's tedious.
