" Fools Rush In " - Ricky Nelson

Who's on the bench ?

That's how I see it. Goodwillie and King out wide with Gomes just behind Rhodes. It's a really attacking line up, We'll either batter them or they'll batter us. I can't see it being a 0-0 draw somehow.

" Lightning Strikes "- Lou Christie.

Well done Hanks ! " My Brother Jake " - Free.

I've just been looking through Utd's injury list. They've got Scholes, Young and Fletcher out. That's 3 players with all the games they've played this season. Fletcher's is really because of illness rather than an injury. All the top teams have very few out injured, the teams down at the bottom all have plenty of injuries !

With that team I'll take a draw now.

" Shop Around " - The Miracles.

Jesus wept, that's not much of a team. Next season we must sort out the fitness issues, we've got nearly as many players " injured " as we have that are fit for selection.

" Down On The Corner " - Creedence Clearwater Revival.

" You Were On My Mind " - The We Five.

We've had kean teams in the past but at least the blokes out there were giving it their best shot. This season I can't say that, we've had too many who had nothing beating under the badge.

That's more like it Parson. I don't know what the problem is but get well for Saturday !

" Ghost Riders In The Sky " - The Ramrods. A great old fashioned instrumental.

Mm, me too I'm afraid, Take it from me, first game in 1961. This is the worst team I've ever seen.

" In The Middle Of It All " - Arthur Alexander.

Not in my World matey. Things have gone too far for that. If you had cancer would you just tolerate it ?

" Heaven Must Have Sent You " - The Elgins. And those three points tonight !

I'll drink to that.

" Love Potion Number Nine " - The Searchers.

Yeah, shows how far we've fallen that we'd take a draw. Having said that I think we'll need to win one game to stay up and surely this is the easiest of our three remaining games. I wasn't among those who thought we'd run away with this league at the start of the season. I didn't even think we'd be in the top eight, the squad is too un-balanced, but never even in my wildest nightmares did I expect us to be in the bottom five with three games to play. The players have a lot to answer for, even given the circumstances. We've too many loanees, rubber dingy men who have no aliegence with Blackburn Rovers. God knows who I'd pick, I could make a case for dropping about eight of them, trouble is the replacements would be no better.

" Got To Get You Into My Life " - The Beatles.

We've hardly played like that all season, it's a bit late now. As I said after Saturday's debacle it's pretty obvious that team spirit is non-existent and a collective effort just doesn't exist. No body is playing for any one else in a blue and white shirt. They just want to turn up, get keaned, kean off home and draw the dosh. A lot will depend on Millwall's attitude, if they really want to go for it we're keaned.

" How Can I Be Sure " - The Young Rascals.

" Tell Me " - The Rolling Stones.
