    Good chance Blackburn will be relegated today.

    Fingers crossed they keep Steve Keen for next seasons promotion push :laugh:

    Aye. From our point of view Blackburn are one of the best clubs to be relegated.

    This Venkys haven't got a clue and probably don't realise how much they'll lose out on financially. Their crowds will dwindle and players will leave.

    Can't decide whether I want QPR or Bolton to join them.

    At first i actually thought Steve Keen was to blame for the mess, but in actual fact it is the owners who have made his job impossible by selling players. Yes they probably would have been much safer keeping Big Sam, but Keen has done a good job considering the atmosphere around the club.

    From a club perspective and travel and attendance you would have to say Bolton over QPR

    BLACKBURN AS FAR AS i AM CONCERNED ARE DOWN so that leaves either QPR or Bolton so it would bebbetter for travelling etc for Boltonalso of the 3 clubs relegated I think that Blackburn will struggle financially and have to sell thier best players.Wolves will retain thier players so will be a threat Bolton may be i9n Blackburns boots so top 6 at best

    Sheff Utd & QPR in the same league could be the piece of inspiration that Colin needs, and could be worth for 12pts Home & Away.

    What about signing David Dunn who I believe is out of contract?

    Wigan although unlikely are not safe, if they lose tonight to Blackburn I wouldn't want to be a Wigan supporter playing Wolves with nothing to play for last game of the season. QPR as good as lost already against a City team going for the title leaving a can Bolton beat Stoke scenario? I don't think they can or will.


    Bet QPR will be a midweek away game, Leeds Tuesday night away to a London based team, not a good omen.

    Ristac, for those of us living a good few miles south of Beeston, a Tuesday night at Loftus Road isn't such a bad thing. As someone else has suggested, Warnock taking us back to QPR & the way they treated him in itself would be enough of an incentive.

    I guess and we could always take the piss out of the resident Millwall fans when QPR stuff them again.

    I don't actually know what the situation is at Blackburn with the Venkys, have they got a similar raw deal to us? Make all the money selling players and to hell with success on the pitch?

    Just found this on one of the various football media websites:

    Blackburn's Scott Dann says rupturing his testicle was "even more painful than it sounds". :emoticon-0107-sweat And let's face it, it sounds quite painful.
