ChezGiven 0 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 I notice you haven't wandered anywhere near the allegation that Blackburn have consistently played thuggish football? Â I'll wander near it. It's a load of bollocks, as usual, started by a man trying to explain why his overpaid and expensive team got beaten by little old Blackburn. That and when Hughes took over we needed to play in your face football to survive. Now it's a cliche and people who repeat and continue to propagate the cliche look like morons. End of. Â Well said, lets hope that idea catches on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â fuck off mate, you're a bunch of cloggers, have been for years. Even you so-called flair players dive about and cheat. I can't be arsed to do the leg-work, but I'm willing to bet a tenner that Blackburn have consistently found themselves up at the wrong end of the discipline tables, regardless of management.

Ayatollah Hermione 14094 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 We had a convict in our squad last night. As much as I'd love to argue that our players don't have thuggish tendencies, the history says different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy to admit we've had some thugs playing football for us, but we don't tend to play thuggish football. I see a difference. Every time I watch a Blackburn game it's like watching a game of football through a time warp. They still think clattering into someone is fine and dandy, the little niggly fouls on the half way line, the cheating and diving. It's like the Leeds of old... without the class, obviously. Â I'm reading the Damned Utd at the minute and crikey the similarities between Clough's reported opinion on football and mine are staggering...

Having watched Rovers for years, I've seen our players get yellow cards from some referees for sneezing (metaphorical of course) whilst some 'big' teams get away with assault. It happens with all of the smaller teams. Next time you watch a big 4 team play a smaller team, watch who gets away with more fouls. Genuinely, it's eye-opening.  Honestly? While I will never agree that we have a team of cloggers, we have had some occasionally undisciplined players (Andy Todd for example) and when you're down towards the bottom of the league the team has to do everything it can to stay up. Your lot are doing the same and it results in more fouls, hence your location on the fair play league as well as ours.  And yes, the cliche from one Arsene Wenger still sticks to this day.

RoversStayinUp 0 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 the problem with newcastle is certainly not the fans, the numerous managers or really the players, but the people who sit in the boardroom. i dont think newcastles fortunes will change until the "cockney mafia" as you call the go. it is a shame as newcastle are a big club, but i am pretty sure you will go down this season. should have never of got rid of bobby robson for not finishing in a champions league place, remarkably the same as leeds with david o'leary and look where that got them! interesting what happens next season if you go down with the massive wage bill, it could be catastrophic for your beloved club!
