Sign him Souey, ditch the joke tactics, we're always moaning about having poor crowds, if we carry on playing this rubbish there will be non eleft, bring back 442 with wingers!!!! and players in their positions, get pedersen and bring back the buzz to Ewood, going there at the moment is like a chore.

Arsenal 7-1 Blackburn Henry 2 Cygan OG Bergkamp Reyes 2 Pires Gilberto

we wont be after 5 games; bottom with 1 point!

time for a poll me thinks, I'll start, my vote Souness OUT!!! he has lost it. Bring back King Kenny.

THE FACTS: FIRST GAME OF THE SEASON: HALF TIME GETTING BEAT 1-0, 2 CHANGES and a change of formation (proves his team was wrong) SECOND GAME: 3 CHANGES and a change of formation THEN HALF TIME GETTING BEAT 1-0, 2 CHANGES and ANOTHER a change of formation proves he has no idea of his best team) HE HAS LOST IT GET HIM OUT NOW!!!!!! Souness quote: "Dom will provide the experience needed at the back and is able to fill in and do a job as a defensive midfielder" then he plays him in his FIRST CHOICE TEAM as a midfielder and then a left winger. SOUNESS IS A JOKE!

I said this at the end of last season, he has lost it, and by saying "we have the best squad since I have been here" and yet we have no idea where anyone played and have at least two people out of position all game proves my point, he should go a.s.a.p.

Tim for me, he did it from day 1 right until the end, Brad was world class 2 seasons ago, but not as good last season, some may argue flowers had a better team infront of him but for me flowers as the keeper, closely run by brad who should be on the bench. LATD snr (my dad) says that Gennoe and Flowers are dead heats for his no1.

1. Chelsea 2. Arsenal 3. Man Utd 4. Liverpool 5. Newcastle 6. Birmingham 7. Fulham 8. Charlton 9. Man City 10. Aston Villa 11. Blackburn 12. M'brough 13. Tottenham 14. Southampton 15. Bolton 16. Portsmouth 17. C Palace 18. Everton 19. West Brom 20. Norwich

If i'm not mistaken his contract expires at the end of this season, cant see him being offered a new one (mind you Douglas just got a 4 year one, why??), hope he return but cant see it.

3: Mckinlay, played right through to the end of the season when he was told he needed an operation in NOVEMBER, insisted he helped us try to survive. This cost him the next 18months of his career and he has never been the same since. 2: Garner, sooooo many goals, Rovers through and through. 1: Hendry, played through injuries so many times, always gave 100%, never gave up, a magnificant example for anyone to follow.

dunno Jord but taking a closer look whoever filled it in they have spelt Neill wrong preferring the spellin 'Neil' and struggled to spell McEveley judging by the correction.

I agree with you on that one, especially when we don't know what our squad will even look like come the end of August (though I know it will probably be exactly the same). The 11 players who will start the game against WBA will not be decided by the numbers on their backs. Even if they were (which they wont be), it will have no/very little bearing on the team/season ahead, look at the starting X1 against Wolves last season compared to the side that faced sorry brum (fulham was season before I still cant get used to calling it last season, doh!): Friedel..................................Enckleman Gresko..................................Gray Taylor....................................Short Amoruso...............................Johansson Neill......................................Reid Thompson............................Douglas Flitcroft.................................Andreson Tugay..................................Tugay Emerton...............................Flitcroft Yorke....................................Stead Jansen..................................Cole Only Flitcroft and Tugay retained their places due to injury, loss of form, new signings, players leaving etc.... the team against West Brom will not dictate our season let alone squad numbers, however a central midfielder at number 5 still looks silly, (mind you Tugay did ok at #3)

Just to add to this: Last Season: Gally: Pld: 12+(14) Gls: 3 Stead: Pld: 13+(0) Gls: 6 Dickov: Pld: 28+(7) Gls: 11 Jansen: Pld: 11+(10) Gls: 3 Yorke: Pld: 17+(10) Gls: 6 Cole: Pld: 29+(8) Gls: 11 Games per goals: Stead 2.2 Dickov 3.2 Cole 3.4 Yorke 4.5 Jansen 7 Gally 8.7 Strikers available over summer/ who we've been linked with: Ferdinand: 21 + (10) Gls: 13 GPG = 2.4 Hasselbaink: 32 + (12) Gls: 18 GPG = 2.4 Kliuvert: 19 + (13) Gls: 13 GPG = 2.5 Viduka: 31 Gls: 12 GPG = 2.6 Kanoute: 22 + (9) Gls: 12 GPG = 2.6 Bent: 30 + (6) Gls: 10 GPG = 3.6 Crouch: 21 + (12) Gls: 8 GPG = 4.1 Fowler: 33 + (8) Gls: 10 GPG = 4.1 Bridges: 3 + (18) Gls: 5 GPG = 4.2 Heskey: 37 + (14) Gls: 12 GPG = 4.3 Radzinski: 30 + (8) Gls: 8 GPG = 4.75 C.Cole: 11 + (14) Gls: 5 GPG = 5 Lua Lua: 13 + (12) Gls: 4 GPG = 6.25 Kanu: 9 + (15) Gls: 3 GPG = 8 Diouf: 34 + (1) Gls: 0 GPG = 35 and still counting

The squad numbers are very wierd indeed, flitty at 5?? why move amo if matteo is not having it? fergy has 16 because he likes the number 6, why not move short to 5 if its free? then why move gally down? jansen could have had 12 if your moving him. Emerton is meant to want the number 23 so he gets 7. De Pedro wants the number 10, so he gets 11. and Yorke loves his number 19, so we move him to 15. Me thinks Souey is saying, numbers mean nothing, go and earn your SHIRT!

No, he has a thing for the number 6. Its the number he wears for Scotland and wore for Rangers. I think he took 24 because it added up to 6. A bit like Dunny has a thing for the number 8, thats why he took up 16 at birmingham isnt it? eh Dunny? Anyone got the date for when they are released? I wouldn't expect too many changes, just filling in of the gaps, with a few minor changes I would of thought, maybe something like this: 1. Friedel 2. Neill 3. Gray 4. Short 5. Amoruso 6. Ferguson 7. Flitcroft 8. Tugay 9. Dickov 10. Jansen 11. De Pedro 12. Reid 13. Enckleman 14. Stead 15. Emerton 16. Matteo 17. Gallagher 18. McEveley 19. Douglas 20. Thompson 21. Gresko

Twist, this guy has lost it!

Andy Cole was a top class player, at Rovers he was still quality, his influence in keeping us up and winning us the worthington cup was shadowed only by jansen and friedel, we will miss him enormously and the pressure this is placing on a striker who has shown alot of promise but has only played a handful of premiership games, a striker that has only broken into double figures for goal in the premier league once, a striker who has an awful lot to learn before he can be considered a starter and one who was once one of england's brightest young talents and is now not even close to premiership standard. This is crazy if we do not buy someone who will guarentee goals and has experience up front it is criminal. Not to mention what Stead and Gally could have learnt of a top performer like Cole, oh well local derbies next season anyone.

Just what we need a successful asian player, that if anything will tap into the asian communites of blackburn and surrounding areas and draw in much needed support and funds!!

whens that stopped Graham? what, george graham is our new manager, that one slipped by quietly!!

well I have to wonder if Souness has been clever (in his own mind at least) in all this. Andy Cole would be very easy to wind up I imagine, so for Souness to fall out with him thus causing Cole to leave then Yorke probably following, frees up alot of money, I think Souey may have done this deliberatly. If this is the case, well he knows the finances better than me so if we have to get rid then we have to however, from a purely football side of things Cole is a fantastic player and one we will miss incredibly, it is also putting alot of pressure on Dickov who has only really had 1 good goalscoring season in the premiership fortunatly it was his last; on Stead who may or may not do as well as last season; Gally who has not scored enough goals to warrant being considered a regular yet and Jansen who well we all know about him.

only problem I could forsee would be when you get the lesser teams earlier on so people obting to miss those games then getting a season ticket from the first big game.

just bought new streets album, some decent bits on it, some bit dodgy, also got new usher album, seems ok, and history of trance, that is top drawer all the classics!

what everyone does have to remember is that the irony in all this is that the editor of the sun at the time this all went to print is now the editor of the mirror which is read regularly by scousers, surely he's more to blame!
