they should be hung drawn and quartered at home to Arsenal then dragged through the streets to Burnley where they can be dumped

I think it exemplifies the current standing of how Rovers appear to see themselves in the Premiership with giving him a 5 year deal, it certainly ensures a decent sized fee should anyone entertain trying to take him away from Ewood. Great news that The Admiral is signed up.

I just cannot see Rovers losing out with McCarthy, whatever happens. It is gonna take big big money to buy him probably more than we would have to shell out for Bellamy. Another thing he should learn to keep his gob shut on tv !

benben, I think you need to understand the way our court system lets people down, especially victims and their families. Hughes should in all reality have been jailed for life. Any reasonable person would expect and accept that sort of punishment as just. In USA and other countries, you can bet without a shadow of doubt that Hughes would not have spent less than 25 yrs in jail. Here in good old UK, we have do gooders and the PC brigade who fight for prisoners rights, no matter what the crime they committ. The authorities accept them and bow down to their every whim, I have witnessed unbelievable decisions in how the courts accept stories and excuses from the accused without a flicker of an eye, whereas when a witness or aggrieved turn up late they are heavily criticised or their cases thrown out ! Hughes gets lucky twice over. He was rich before he went inside and he will earn a considerable amount of money when he comes out of jail, more than the avergae job even with Oldham. The poor victims family just get more suffering as they will no doubt see his name in the media, see his spotted gingernutted face in the papers and tv and will get reminded of the experiences they suffered as they strove to get justice for their decimated family. This countries laws SUCK.

Does it really matter that situation ? Rovers hold the ace card in that the player is on a contract and can hold on to what they have. The plusses for them are that they can hold Chelsea or anyone ot the price they want or as near as dam it, they can also slam Benni in the reserves, make his life uncomfortable and fine him if he decides he aint playing as he then does not fulfill his side of the contract. Chelsea have signed Pizarro, added to the young Egyptian and the dogba, they still have chevy chase so that for me fulfills the 4 strikers they need. J Cole can also play up front as can Robben. I just dont see Chelsea coming in for Benni with that lot up front unless of course someone is leaving. In relation to MGP and the clubs that are allegedly linked with him, the options have been narrowed down massively IMO. United will not come near him having laid out the best part of 45 Million, Chelsea dont want him neither do Arsenal, Liverpools standards will be much higher signing wise so I rule them out. That for me would leave just Spuds as a possible better option than Rovers, and really, are they such a better option ? Again I dont think so, we match them on the pitch and our ambitions are on the same lines. They have the bigger fan base and more money attractiveness and are of course a London club. They may be able to provide a "bigger stage" but he would then have to get used to squad rotation and would play at best 50% of their games. So, now then to the big club wannabees, Newcastle, Villa and Boro. Not one are bigger than Rovers on the playing field and not one of these trio will finish higher than Rovers next season, none are in europe and ALL of them hanker of being run like BRFC. I cant see any Rovers first team player going to any club like this UNLESS they pay obviously stupid money. I see Rovers adding to the quality of the players we already have and finally ridding themselves of the hangers on in Gray and Todd. The future is Blue and White

Oh dear, looks like Benni Mac has failed to turn up for the South African team for Saturdays International according to the south africa press.

the egg on the face bit comes when his beloved Jose does not come in for him as he is looking elsewhere !! he may pine for chelski but will they pine for him ??

In FA Cup final week, with Drogba being unsettled, Chevy chase being told he can leave, massive injury problems for cfc, the goalie hilario being touted as a reserve striker and Juse getting nicked over a missing dog it sounds to me that its comedy week in London ! Benni is touting himself like a Preston prostitute no matter which way you look at it. For me, Chelsea will be looking at a far better option tha Benni could give, He is probably not on their shopping list. At Chelsea there is more uncertainty than at good old turd moor, noone knows whats going on. Benni just might be wearing some egg on is face in the summer. Anyhow, its holiday season next so stop gettign yourselves worried, its 8 weeks until we really need to start biting fingernails !

McLaren is only doing one thing for English football HE IS TURNING FANS AWAY FROM THE GAME

Whilst we are on the topic of Benni next season is the African Nations Cp for 6 weeks so should Benni be called back into the fold we will lose him for at least 4 weeks maybe 8 in total, we will lose the Axe as well as Samba and if Nonda is still with us him as well. That would not help our cause one little bit

Am interested, anyone know the seller

Information regarding wham players. They are not allowed to give interviews to SKY or any broadcasters without the express permission of their manager. Furthermore, they are not allowed to be asked questions as to whether or not they will be remaining at the club should the club get relegated. Any such q's are taboo within wham as they wish to promote a positive image. Also, old egghead has stopped any broadcaster from interviewng him or any other board members until relegation is confirmed or otherwise.

Nonda seems to becoming a wanted player, now Fulham are interested in him as well as Pompy.

jim lucash was showing his ambition in leaving Rovers for the top club that is bottom of the league, Rovers fnas have a right to gloat at his predicament. In respect of Spuds, Rovers have more than got the capability to win at WHL as we have seen so that will get us above them. Spuds have 5 london derbies to go yet playing arsenal and chelsea so they will drop some serious points.

2-0 now

Just got this feeling that Lucash doenst want to play at Ewood Park for the wham game? by that time it may just be too late for the team from Upton Park. I bet he still doesnt get this dream move to Liverpool, next stop Newcastle United

McCockups selection process has just come home to roost. 1-0 down at home against a quite poor but obviously skillful Spanish outfit. When will the FA ever learn?

He was with Calum Davidson pre match looked alright to me

That would go against M Hughes quote tat says Dunny is flying in training and ready for Sheff Utd on Saturday

ha bloody ha serves the clown right for jumping ship to much better things ! Now Lucash, its only a relegation battle left for you this season and losing to Watford at home is just the start for your lot. Its only Liverpool and Villa next up then 2 london derbies versus watford and charlton, shoudl really shape your season

Lucas who????????????

yes I am absolutley sure that we will all be talking abou wham in a different vein next year as they wont be in the bloody premier league gamble ? yes it is clause ? just proves your in it for the money and NOT ambition last laugh ? yes you will, on wham themselves guaranteed first team place ? with ALL of our players fit lucash, your not guaranteed a first team place at Ewood nor will you be at wham fc

and now yr team goes and gives a 2-0 lead away welcome Lucash

"the club blew me away" "his plans blew me away" "the shopping list of players blew me away" Just who are you trying to kid Lucash ? Should wham sink down to the championship, those plans and shopping lists will be immaterial because you will have sold your soul once again with your get out clause, now kindly leave us alone and please play your usual self at Ewood Park when you return. M U P P E T

Thats because their sh#te
