There ARE other teams(we'd have no-one to play otherwise) and here's where all-comers can discuss the wider world of football......

Good signing.

Interestingly... Appleton was told by Venky's when he was initially approached in pretty much these words: "Get the team promoted and you're a millionaire."

In think he will.
Possibly, yet at Blackpool their fans weren't keen and he picked up a lot of draws with the overwhelming opinion being he was a bit negative and fitness obsessed.

Thing I still can't get past with Blackburn is when they sacked Kean they were 3rd!
Seems to be the vogue with youngster managers these days.

Negative footy works, of the realistic formations I have always liked 5-4-1 (although you know I would play 10 defenders if I could), as for the fitness thing mah. certainly I have always felt that defensive football has its uses as much as attacking football.

wooooooooooooooooooooshhhhhhhhhhhh

Don't even attempt to think that way. I hope Bolton get a reputation for kicking a team when they're down. A win on Tuesday would probably send Blackburn fans over the edge.

It would be nice for a fourth win in a row....especially against those nice people!

I think you'll find that's Pele.
Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

No we will w**k all over them and our fans will constantly sing our now famous W*nky Wanderers song, four nil Bolton.

Heard they conceded in the very last seconds as well...

At least Peterborough had the respect to put their goals past them with enough time left for some reply...

Wow, superb responses guys, the ability to turn one of posts into multiple jokes is a talent that cannot be overused.

Saw a lot of crap on Twitter from tabloid hacks last night delighting in the fact that Wembley won't be hosted 2 poorly supported teams from the north..

Ignoring the fact that both clubs' average attendances eclipse Millwall's and also the fact that millwall took a mere 500 to an FA Cup quarter final at £15 a ticket.

They took 500 to a wednesday night match a couple of hundred miles away with about 3 days notice, to be fair. Just saying.

One of the biggest nights in their recent history.

Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's anything bad.. I'm not one for banging on about attendances, but it's the irony that's lost on the media.

If it was Blackburn taking 500 there, they'd be getting hammered for it
