Hughes has said he's not interested in going back to Blackburn. Don't blame him. He's in last chance saloon and I doubt he'd want to roll the dice with those clowns in charge.

Phil Brown has thrown his hat into the ring.

Think he's applying for every job that comes up these days.

Gotta love Blackburn fans. Applaud the Venkeys onto the pitch first game, no questions asked, and now want them out as it all goes pear shaped. What exactly did you expect? The majority of foreign owners are in it for themselves. Sadly the majority of fans are blinded by talk of getting an Abramovich or Mansour and are happy to go along with it until the team starts losing. By then it's too late as their club is already in steep decline.

That's a bit unfair don't you think? Some Blackburn fans may have been expecting a new Roman but I bet all of them were expecting the club to be run better and more professionally than it has. I'm not sure how that part of their expectations is unreasonable. I mean, it's not that big a stretch for fans to expect the owners to sell the club to a responsible buyer is it? If anything who sold the club to them has a lot to answer because I don't think it's acceptable to expect fans to look through the business accounts and behaviours of future owners even though some may. The club has let the fans down big style so I can understand the frustration because it used to happen at Saints, a lot. That said, it is only a game.

Can I do the Blackburn-Berg-Titanic joke now?

I've been waiting ten games for it after all.

When are the British media going to crucify Gareth Bale for diving like they have Suarez, Young in the past? 5 bookings for diving according to sky.

When he's bitten someone, being found guilty of racially abusing someone and claimed he doesn't dive the week before, Bale will get the same reaction as Suarez does.

It will also help if a few Spurs players piously claim that they, as a club, are above diving and that if they saw a team mate dive they'd be "having a word" with him about it.

Lennon's goal was amazing.

Dreadful game at the John McAlpharm this afternoon, notable only for the ref booking Jeremy Helan twice and not sending him off. Muppet.
