You may want to wait until they've got more than goal difference keeping them out of the bottom 3 before giving it the big 'un.

Who were the last relegated team to win at the current champions then?

[ewerk]

So that means that they're going to stay up?

I'm asking you who they were.

[ewerk]

I fail to see what that has to do with Blackburn's chances of staying up. Leeds beat them at OT a couple of seasons ago, does that mean that they were PL quality?

Was it West Ham when Tevez scored?

No that kept them up man.  

I've racked my brains, and I know who it is, I thought some others might've known too.

It's almost comical how bad our midfield was - watch the first 3 minutes, astonishingly poor, these were professional footballers and this is what we had to put up with, BUT...... we won, I was on a train coming back from London with me nana when I found out, had a smile like a special needs kid from Doncaster to Newcastle.

Yeah, we got pounded. I blew the dust off my 88/89 season review video last year and watched it for the first time in years and the highlights of this game were pretty one sided. Mira baited the kop is priceless.

Shocking. I blame lack of sleep.

Love those kits we had back then. By the way, WTF is Aldridge doing at 1.02? And then Gillespie not passing at 1.55, criminal.

[SCOREBOARD1]

Big thanks to SKY for putting the Swansea game back to 4.30 on a bank holiday. Had to change my train tickets this afternoon. They couldnt give a fucking  monkeys about the travelling support!

Here's a question that I've been pondering for a little while. Forgive me if it sounds a little thick:

Why is there a Manchester city if there is a Manchester 'united'? Surely that's a bit of a contradiction isn't it?

It's a good question.  I have wondered why Sheffield aren't United on a Wednesday.  Is it summat to do with the half day?

Samba and Arshavin have both buggered off on the last day of the Russian transfer window. Samba to Anzhi, Arshavin to Zenit St Petersburg. No tears shed over either of them, I don't think, but I'm surprised we didn't see Tottenham/Chelsea/even Man U in for Samba in January. Class player.

blackburn supporting mates say he gets talked up by the press a lot

physical presence but not actually that good in the air and lacks the ability to read the game well enough to be at a top club apparently
