I was at that one! I am the Resurrection - unbelievable. It all went a bit daft a few weeks after that didnt it? Preston Guild Hall Foyer - you couldn't make it up!

Cheers W.B! Those were the bad old days of course. Great goals.

How do you know?

I'll be one of the two then. Cheers Oz

Really? Top fella, always liked him, heart in the right place etc etc etc

Great stuff. Keep it coming Oz.

Upson's only played about 20 minutes of football for West Ham though. Come on, give him a chance.

I saw that - he was well out of order, same with Nonda. He's an evil man.

They'd walk it. A class act those two.

Exactly. Two days ago Hughes says that Benni is stopping. Today there's an interview in The Sun (of all places!) and everyone assumes he's off! Who's buying him by the way? Has a fee been agreed? This is a footballer Rev, not a top politician who has to make sure every word and tense is correct, like what that George Bush would do. If he goes he goes - we'll get a few quid in no doubt and get someone else in. Rovers will go on. No stress. Let's see what pans out before totally lambasting him. Besides, if he does go, his work rate is rubbish, he provides no assists and he's always off side. If he stays, he's scored loads of goals, best striker we've had since Shearer (apparently). Either way we can't go wrong!

Well said that man! We had two players score at the new Wembley on Saturday. Two lads who play for Blackburn Rovers! Anybody else's fans would be delighted. If Derbs and Bentley played for Spurs we'd be saying something along the lines of "Why don't have anyone coming through?", "How lucky are they to have two young English players playing for them?". But what do some people say? "He'll never be world class." If you're not happy now you never will be.

"Football is about nothing unless it's about something" - brilliant stuff

That can't be right surely? When did you work for them 1932? Unless the distance is totally mileage that he's been caught offside?

Is it just me who thinks the Arctic Monkeys are a great band on this web site? There has only been a few occasions when I've heard a band for the first time and gone "Bloody hell! Brilliant" In no particular order: 1. Motorhead - Ace of Spades - Track one - No Sleep Til Hammersmith - approx 1981 2. AC/DC - Let There Be Rock - from the album of the same name - aprrox 1981 - released a few years earlier 3. Happy Mondays - Wrote For Luck - the single - Approx 1989 - on the chart show I think 4. The Stone Roses - I am The Resurection - at Preston Guild Hall Foyet - Blimey! 1989 - Cheers John for dragging me along 5. The Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You.... etc - the other year, live on the tele somewhere or other 6. The Fall - Hit The North 7. The Smiths - How Soon Is Now? - On an away travel coach on the way to St James Park for a night match - about 1988? 8. Oasis - Supersonic - At home - John's fault again - believe the hype. (Fecking smart arse City fans). 9. The Wedding Present - My Favourite Dress - best heard at C'est la Vie cira 1953 - RIP 10. The Pogues - A Rainy Night In Soho. Well, it is the 14th of Feb isn't it? EDIT (How could I forget?! ) 11. Slayer. Reign In Blood. My Bedroom cira 1988. Oh 'eck! I put The Fall in just for AS. Everyone knows it was Frank Sidebottom who wrote that. The boy M E Smith just did a cover. Great songs.

Nuff said. And you Al! To think later today we may have three players on the pitch who are actually Rovers fans. That's in the top flight an all. It's nigh on a miracle in this day and age. You can go on and on about who was right and who was wrong, the history and all the rest of it until you're blue in the face - truth is you and I don't know the full facts (and even if you do no one will believe you ). Just be happy we've got one of our own returning this afternoon. On his day he can play a bit an all! Go on Dunny!!

No he's not. Lemmy once walked off due to the fact that Mark Lamarr is a complete ****. He should have known that really.

Was it the "Name: Lofty" bit that gave him away?

.....whilst becoming the clubs highest ever goalscorer.

So is that a "yes"?

Thanks for explaining that yet again West Sussex Rover, great info that, spot on. However I have a request, in the interests of getting a cheap laugh everytime you post would you mind if you changed your signature again? To "Wikipedia Boy"? I'd really appreciate that. As for Matty Derbyshire, early days yet. I'm not getting carried away and ultimately, although I may be completely wrong, when Jeffers and Roberts are fit then I doubt we'll see much of him. If Hughes was that impressed wth him would he still still having a look at that Egyptian bloke?

The "club" shop is a sad reflection on the club as a whole. How anyone in their right mind could have signed over all image rights (presumably, as we don't sell / can't be bothered to sell Rovers merchandise anywhere else) to the shower that is Sportsworld is beyond a joke. I don't care that we may make more money this way. It's not good enough. If it was about making money then just sell the ground to bloody Tescos or something. The fact that you can't buy anything of any decent quality and that what little choice they do have is beyond pitiful should be a complete embarrasment to the powers that be. Why the hell can't it be sorted out this season? How hard can it be to order a few Rovers scarves / mini kit's etc, put a margin on them and sell them in a shop that is opposite the Blackburn End? Let's be honest, they just can't be arsed.

When you say the roles are now completely reversed are you refering to the fact that Dunny is apparantly fit and ready to play whilst Joe Cole has hardly kicked a ball this season? As for falling out with the previous manager, how anyone could do that is still beyond me, a more approachable man who is open to new ideas and second opinions you'd struggle to find anywhere. [/sarcasm]

If you think it'll help Gaz, go fot it. Whatever get's you through the night. I can't see how that'll help Blackburn Rovers though. What you gonna do if he has a good game? Will you be gutted? I don't think he played at all well last Saturday but I don't see the point in booing one of our own players. He'll be off in January, he's playing to the rules that are in place that mean the players hold all the aces. Nothing we can do about it.

That's right. Don't Accy Stanley have Nike? And all their players try really really hard all the time.
