McFaul

The league had different teams in it last season so it's not really a fair comparison. Who's to say they wouldn't have got 18 points off West Ham, Blackpool and Birmingham, and who is to say they'd have got 0. It's like saying in 02/03 he'd still be 15 points off safety with 9 games to go. First time he's had no tossers like Samba causing unrest, first time the injury problems have receeded and he's won 5 of the last 10. If I was him, I'd have got in the car last night and put Elton John on I'm still standing and blared it all the way down the M6 with a big smile on my face.

Well the fact you mention Merson AFTER I actually say "not that he's a credible source" indicates to me you wish you hadn't have bothered. For people that are interested in the relegation battle, all of the reasons I've stated above point to the fact he's been one of the managers of the season, and even when they were losing as I stated a few times, they were playing fucking well, fans at Ewood Park have been more entertained than we have this season. Fifth highest scorers in the division?!?! He deserves a fucking medal. We haven't had a game at home like their 4-3 wins over us and Arsenal. I tell you something else as well, lets be honest, we struggled for most of the game to break the mackems down, whether we like it or not they're a well organised compact unit, the shots tally last neet? Blackburn 18 Sunderland 2. Once again well done Steve Kean.

Took you six minutes thought to put that together. Tremendous retort. The first sentence pathetic, I presume you're tired, shite abuse you're normally quite good at it too. Looking at the facts 28 points isn't magnificent, but when you look at the shit he's been through with his own supporters, players being cunts like Nelsen and Samba, hands absolutely tied by the owners, in fact in my view they didn't sack him because they knew no one else would put up with what he has from them, for them to be sat in the position they are with a bit of day light is an absolute miracle. He's managed to put together a side who have scored 10 more goals than Liverpool, more than us, on top of all of that who have been crippled by one of the worst injury crisis in the clubs history, and he's going to come out smiling. As was mentioned last night by Merson, not that Merson is qualified to vindicate any point, but he's right Kean has acted with dignity and not many managers could get through what he's been through. So I don't want to get all Leazes-esque about it, but I was right he would come through, Blackburn would stay up when everyone else was questioning my sanity, so if I want to mention it I fucking will.

Well I take more notice than people who take a passing interest in football. That being the case I'd say 6 points gap with superior goal difference off the relegation spots (and two places not one), with Bolton, Swansea, Norwich, WBA and Wigan to come I'd say they've got every reason to think they're not home free but they're not far off. Which is a different position to where they were 5 months ago when wankers on here, including Castell, were saying Steve Kean was the worst manager in football history. He's made the club a fortune in transfers, had to make do with scabby frees, some of them inspired like Yakubu, and there's light at the end of the tunnel, he's done a fucking amazing job. Delighted for him. What I suggest you do in future is when you have no opinion on something or lack the knowledge to contribute a decent point, is saying nothing to avoid looking like a cunt.

I said on numerous occasions they would stay up on here and twitter. Look at the last tweets of @2narme and @weldy1980 . That Billy Castell mug fucked off, because I criticise their pathetic micky mouse witch hunt of Kean. Delighted for him, 28 points, 6 more maximum and they're probably safe in my opinion.

Predicted they'd stay up comfortably and they will. There's only one Steve Kean. Castell you can come back now pal (with apologies).

All day drinking is going to have to phased out for me I think, so many things I said and did after the match I'm having massive drinkers remorse about. I'm still rough off Sunday.

"Life in a Northern Town" The bloke's a mug! That's what I said to him. I pointed out a few aspects of his written script which he could've improved on, and he actually agreed with me. Two tweeters with 30,000 followers I contradicted today, he agreed with me, did the same with Simon Bird and he agreed with me too. Bird's piece was a joke though, apparently it's bad for the club to get in Europe this year. Regarding the piece it's a superb piece of research, and anyone with half a brain will read it and know exactly where we are now financially. Staggering that Fulham, Bolton, Everton, West Ham and Sunderland spend more on wages than us. Fulham and Bolton ffs!

Since AVB left Porto, they've spent £90m on transfers, £13m to get him off Porto and £15m to pay him off - £118m in 9 months, biggest disaster in football history? I think so when you look at the fact only Mata is any fucking good.

We've been scouting this kid apparently. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Maher Doubt he'd be the direct replacement however.

So Tiote's fake account is saying it's all lies. Ah whey that's it then. The facts are these, Tiote is going to Chelsea for £23m. Krul is going no where.

Just say you've used Oil of Ulay for the last 70 years if they query it.

Worst hangover in two years and that's nee exaggeration.

Lost one of mine before Man Utd, went to the ticket office 20 mins before kick off, gave name and address and they gave me a new card there and then. They have a machine that prints them there. 5a like.

Haha distant Spanish on one side funnily enough, Galicia if that counts.

Right my point is St Patrick's Day is shoved down peoples throats in this country, it is, and that's my point. St George's Day barely gets a mention, that's another point, because of the reasons I have mentioned. Now tell me which of those points is an example of me being an idiot. The bit where you call Ant a "fucking bell whiff" on Twitter for his annoyance at being tarred with your "All Irish are arrogant" brush, whilst you and your superiority complex rarr on about how brilliant the English are? Ironic in the extreme. If you read post 4061, he misinterprets just about everything I have said, while sticking the knife saying basically saying a non arrogant post, epitomises why a nation of 51m are viewed as being arrogant and abhorrent (not by him though of course).

Right my point is St Patrick's Day is shoved down peoples throats in this country, it is, and that's my point. St George's Day barely gets a mention, that's another point, because of the reasons I have mentioned. Now tell me which of those points is an example of me being an idiot. Because this is how you tried to get that point across: I dismiss St Patrick's Day as a day a small nearby country use as a day of celebration, who's terrorists have bombed our civilians in the last 25 years on our mainland. I drink Guinness, but today is one day I won't. "Popular country", I think you're a bunch of wanks personally and I say that with more Irish blood than English. Most arrogant wanks I've ever known with so little to boast about, and the fact you believe you're a popular country reinforces that. My view is that Ireland is a primitive rock, full of people who have played at being victims for centuries. Perhaps in the past they had a case, but today? In response to Ant's assertion that most of the world think we're a bunch of wanks, followed up by the charming Irish being the blue eyed boys of the world. Granted I should've been a touch more subtle.

Has anyone disagreed with those points? A lot of the St. Patrick's shite is 'shoved down' your throats because the drinks industry wants another excuse to get people in pubs. Also, SGD should be a national holiday, there's certainly more justification for it than a day off for a royal wedding or the Diamond Jubilee. Well I agree with all of that, but there is more to it than "the drinks industry" although that is a factor.

he can't be ewerk, sure his grannies irish I've got more Irish blood than English, I shouldn't have said you're all wanks, there's some brilliant Irish people in my family, but fuck me there's an arrogance too. Your other paragraph, we are made to feel guilty for being English. Anything with a SG flag seems to be related to nationalism, and it fucks people off, the odd sarcastic comment from Gemmill on here, doesn't mean it's not popular opinion neither. Thank you for that Dr Hillary Jones. It's interesting that you seem to think you know my thought process better than I know my own, shows a clear laughable point of view that you are in some way more intelligent or superior to me? Hilarious. I'm not searching through posts for examples of your bigotry, but while we're psycho-analysing, I've always held the opinion there's something very dark and sinister about you, I don't know what it is. Maybe that's because you're so contrary regarding almost any subject and not just towards me, I don't know, I don't care really.

Coming from you

No ones asking you to celebrate fuck all, like we don't celebrate (or care about, no idea where you got any other opinion on it from) St Georges Day that entire post sums up why a lot of people share the same popular opinion about England/the English (personally i don't but i must admit southerns get on my nerves more due to the accents than anything especially londoners) Jesus give it a rest and lighten up, the world uses it as an excuse for a drink and because we're a well liked nation people adopt it....unlike well *ahem* Where did I say you do celebrate St George's Day or care about it? I dismiss St Patrick's Day as a day a small nearby country use as a day of celebration, who's terrorists have bombed our civilians in the last 25 years on our mainland. I drink Guinness, but today is one day I won't. "Popular country", I think you're a bunch of wanks personally and I say that with more Irish blood than English.

My view is that Ireland is a primitive rock, full of people who have played at being victims for centuries. Perhaps in the past they had a case, but today? Nah. "Most people hate the English" we don't care, and my main point is the sooner people stop mentioning SPD in this country the better, and we get a national holiday sorted for SGD.

I donno what yous have got to celebrate personally. You think we're hardly allowed to celebrate St George's Day because of the fact we're made to feel guilty for being English, where we've achieved arguably more than any other society in human history, yet everyone is told to celebrate St Patrick's Day representing a country who's greatest achievement to date is breeding a few decent horses, and making the film "The Van".

Fulham 1-0 Swansea Wigan 1-2 West Brom Wolves 0-2 Man Utd Newcastle 3 Norwich 1 Aston Villa 1 Bolton 1 Blackburn 2 Sunderland 1 Man City 2 Chelsea 0 Tottenham 2 Stoke 1 Everton 0 Arsenal 2 QPR 1 Liverpool 2

Good shot.
