Aint disputing that mancie, but yer never gonna take a decisive lead against a side as good as villa, playing 1 up front.

And if yer asking how many times I've been to Old Trafford I'd say around 80 between 1978-84 a few away games and 3 times at Wembley..United did'nt win Championships in them days! :rolleyes:

though kalinic was good tonight, think its about time he got a start in the prem with a 4-4-2 formation, poss benni partnering him, he has a good eye for a pass and can hold play pretty well tbh, just needs decent service...we need a right winger, a left winger a striker and a strong central midfielder to play with dunny...reid was crap when he came on salgado is past it, n zonzi needs another season to beef up, emerton plays better at rb too !!

why take the blinkers off ? iv'e supported rovers 30 years, iv'e paid many a few quid watchin em over them years, even in times when money has been tight, i am entitled to comment on the state of the team, the players the managers or who ever else that may be concerned with the club, as i have paid my dues and their wages over them said years,we as fans are blackburn rovers and are entitled to air our grievances towards individuals, be it managers or players !!!

Under hughes we played european football, finished in the top half year in year out, under the same restrictions we are under now, i think im more educated and entitled to express my opinion about rovers slightly more than you are, so yes i think i do "EXPECT" rovers to be in the top half of the premier league along with the mojority of rovers fans, not some plastic manc like i say !!!

rant over :enough:

Plastic Manc.. maybe .. but I don't reckon they'd be turning them away at the Ewood turnstiles judging at the empty seats tonight.

You started it :)..I'm not having a pop.. i'm saying it's ridiculous to call anyone plastic this or that when they pay money to watch the team they choose... if a thousand plastic Rovers fans turn up for the next game at Ewood or any other ground you ain't gonna turn em away... attractive football win or lose is what gets big gates.
