Raining hard here in Blackburn and has been for over 24 hours. Could it happen again? :lol:

All I know is the referee has deducted 11 minutes off his watch with a warning alarm.

Let's hope Spurs turn up at DL. Got a bad feeling about it.

Can't hope MUPLC will beat Sunderland but am hopeful Arsenal will beat West Ham.

Teams really need to attack at Elland Road. Shut the annoying crowd up with their awful singing and you win. Just ask Koleosho.

Absolute clown show officiating at Hillsborough. Bobby Thomas heads the ball, it's going in but Wright, who was way offside, taps the ball in. Ref consults linesman, goal given, 3-0 Cov.

Leeds should be down to 10 and have another 3 players on a yellow but the ref only realises he has cards when it is a Spurs player doing the fouling.

I've given up hope of referees being neutral these days.

0-4 Coventry, going great guns at the moment, top of the Championship
as it stands.

Hopefully we'll be playing them next season in the PL.

Coventry, 27 goals in 9 games with a plus 20 goal difference -the next best are Boro with 12 goals and +7 goal difference. Impressive from Lampard.

Hugely important for us that Leeds & Sunderland lose today. We’ve had by far the hardest start to the season, but can’t have Sunderland and Leeds picking up points against the teams that have beating us.

1 down, 1 to go. We just have to hope that Man U's total collapse doesn't happen this weekend.

Let's be fair, would you back Man U to win their next fixture this season? I wouldn't. I have no confidence in them winning regardless of the next few games.

Lampard is the one I wanted over Parker (but obviously not sorry about it now!) He's always had something about him, and probably needed to come back to the championship to develop again. Chelsea and Everton were too soon and/or poorly timed. I'm glad he didn't go off to Saudi or the US, took his medicine and went back to the Champ.

I absolutely do think he will be good enough for the premier league though. I suspect he'll be there most of his career.

Wrote it in another thread but United are a different beast at home - genuinely think they're a better side than given credit for.

They move the ball so quickly through the lines; if they'd have grabbed a midfielder or two to fit this system, they'd be higher in the table. They just run out of steam with Bruno and Casemiro in the second half.
