3 points behind with a vastly better GD.

Anyway anyone else feeling slightly nauseous at having to hope the Scouse cunts win?

Blackburn do have a decent history in a 19th century Mackem style so I think that counts for something although I agree with the merit view. Thing is the towns around there are quite isolated and insular and a lot of them had their own teams ( or maybe an RL team which fulfills the same purpose) which might explain the small fanbase - the proportion of immigrants post war hasn't helped their football cause either. At the moment I think there are enough teams coimg up/going down to satisfy both views that teams like Leeds and Sheff Wed can get "back where they belong" but at the same time Reading, Wigan and Swansea etc can get there on merit and enjoy it.

Well I'm looking forward to the Avengers despite thinking Thor was patchy and switching Captain America off half way through because I was bored. I do however trust Joss Whedon.

I saw Mark Hughes talking about looking at QPRs fixtures when he came which I've always been in two minds about as it can easily go wrong (see us Vs Wigan) but the time for Blackburn to go shit or bust wasn't tonight it was against Spurs and that's why I have little sympathy for them. I'm all for do or die support but if they had won tonight did they really think Chelsea was a starter? - I think the fans knew the answer to that so had resigned themselves to it anyway so thought the club was best served by voicing dissent. In some ways Stevie's right - Kean was in a bad position but I think it was his view that Kean actually did have a clue what he was doing in spite of the shite off the pitch that rankled Billy. Maybe its now a case of relegation being a good thing in the same way that I thought ours was at the time in that it will rid them of the owners and they can start afresh - though that might be more of a struggle than it would have been for us.

Presumably he would have been sacked anyway so don't see the point of getting at him now.

Plus all the Irish/Norwegians.

I was only a kid at the time but the way it gets dragged up every fucking year stokes the fires.

Fuck off Hereford and never come back.

The story prompted me to catch up on some stuff from there the other day which was fine but I've just tried to go there and Virgin have implemented the ban. Went to ISOHunt instead and found what I wanted in 2 secs. I honestly despair at how basically fucking stupid the so called intelligentsia and "leaders of men" really are sometimes.

No vids but some random ones not mentioned (I think) MacDonald Versus Leicester in about 75 - one of the few occasions as a kid I was in the Leazes and was right in line with it - typical thunderbolt. Waddle versus Blackburn in 84 - curler with the outside of his foot. Varadi versus Charlton - ran from almost the length of the field Beardsley versus Pompey - because of the view I didn't see the final dummy on the line until later but fucking hell what a goal. McGhee versus Bradford - I remember it being sweeter as they'd "parked the bus" to use the topical phrase to a horrendous degree and a fantastic late winner was such a victory for football. Beardsley versus Everton first time around - Messi-eqsue start from a standing position and tap the ball from one fooot to the other to beat 2 or 3 men while getting faster before rifiling it into the bottom corner. Beardsley versus Boro in 84. Cole versus Chelsea - left-footed screamer. Cole's 40th - relatively simple round the keepr but the significance made it great. Mathie versus Sheff Wed - I don't care what anyone says I think it was meant and if Cantona had scored it, it would have been shown every day for a year. Bearsdley versus Sheff Wed almost from the byline - Trevor Francis' jealous dismissal of it as a fluke is why I despise him with more than the usual vitriol reserved for run of the mill pricks. Might do more later.

Just seen the goals - alcohol allowing I'm off for a wank. (Makes the Mackem bitterness even sweeter).

It happens to me as well. (Firefox, Windows 7)

That ships sailed - I complimented you the other day when you said you were used to being the "unattractive" mate in a group of lasses so sod you now

On the train home after a night out and managed to keep in touch via the BBC. Hate to go all brown bottle but get in you absolute fucking cunts. (Just noticed my phone saved "cunts" to the dictionary - that'll come in handy)

Spoilt by the fact that Gerrard is a fucking cheat. The other players he mentioned did cheat but I wouldn't necessarily say they were cheats in the mode of Cole(s), Drogba, Young and yes Gerrard.

Probably not the case bit it would be funny if Redknapp did really want the job but its Spurs' shit form (possibly caused by the speculation) that's cost him it.

Just decided it annoys me to a ridiculous level that firms like Sony can't even be bothered to produce an ad for the UK without using a Yank kid's voice. Yes I know about globalisation but put some effort in you twats.

Trying to be "clever" by writing this off and relying on beating Wigan - doomed.

Well I'm going to do what I did after watching the first half against Spurs - I'm fucking off to the gym hoping they don't get another four. Hate to say it but the word that separates the teams for me is "desire" (And of course that cunt in black is helping them every step of the way as well)

She was taking the piss/making a point in response to suggested laws virtually giving rights to human eggs.

Unless the board decide to exploit the terms and kick you out - couldn't happen could it?

Just started to read the thread about Robson's statue - its shit like that that honestly makes me think I'd be happy if someone levelled the shithole with a nuclear device.

If that photo of you on N-O is true I would love to see the lasses you go out with.

Would love to see somebody kick that Di Maria about 8 feet in the air - what a fucking cheat he is.
