Of course. And there is no doubt he's massively under-produced since he joined the club.

It just gets a little ridiculous when every negative it picked at, while the few positive things he manages to do are completely ignored. It's not like we're all unaware of his struggles already.

Well he did miss a sitter from 2 yards. It's ridiculous to expect him not to get shit for that

Nothing would surprise me with Pepe. Horrible creature.

Also 1-0 Roma, Totti

Chesterfield 3-1 Villa

Not exactly encouraging stuff even if it was a young side.

Just drew 1-1 with Bury I didn't go so I am not sure how we played but we played most of the game with 10 men as Williamson was sent off for a "rash" tackle, not the best of results but keeps us unbeaten. Good too see Rhodes got another goal all be it from the penalty spot. Scores when he wants. What did u make of it BR and gfnx25?

Picked up a 2-2 draw against a under-strength Linfield team. We had surrendered a 2-0 lead at the Bangor Fuels Arena but Linfield's equalising goal was worthy of drawing the game but we nearly won it at the end when (I think) our manager cracked the crossbar.

Hope Williamson gets punished for that tackle. Absolutely disgusting for a pre-season 'friendly'. Gary Bowyer also acted like a complete dick and was sent to the stand aswell.
Erm, where to start for us. Was a good performance from us, but I don't know whether this will be the team Blackburn will play when the season starts so don't know what to make of this. Hussey with some great crosses, Mayor & Jones with good runs, Soares read the game well, Mills had Rhodes in his pocket throughout the game, so yeah I'm quite pleased

Yeah I haven't seen the tackle I only heard it being described as rash. But yeah I heard Bowyer was going mental about it.

Sounded like you played well and Rhodes was very quiet so you did well. It was quite close to our first team squad Gestede would have been in and Killgallon and Marshall would have started but other than that not much difference.

I was wondering if you'd have gone! I went. It was pretty poor overall. Didn't have a great view of Williamson's tackle from behind the goal but it looked mental, especially for a friendly. Looking forward to seeing it again. Didn't know Bowyer got sent to the stands?

To be honest all defenders have Rhodes in their pockets for most of the match, he's not the sort that is going to beat a man or hustle and bustle a defender, win a header or anything - he normally just gets a couple of chances and buries them.

Well basically to me it looked like Williamson miscontrolled a simple pass from the right winger and ran after it. Lowe was there first and got at the end of it with a clean tackle and then Williamson just two-footed him for fuck all reason. I wasn't quite sure about Bowyer, if he was sent to the stands after that incident, at half-time or at the start of the second half but I didn't see him so I think he's been sent to the stands.

I have seen the tackle now looked horrible to be honest. Very poor for a friendly. Agree with BR on the Rhodes point he doesn't do anything apart from score (which is a good thing) but you stopped him from scoring from open play anyway. I heard that Bowyer was in the stands for the start of the second half but they said the reason was unknown I assumed it was just to get a different view of the match as he has done this in the past, but it would make sense that he would be sent to the stands for something he said.

I don't understand Turks. One of my mates was born in Turkey and lived there for a few years and he comes across as an absolute retard most of the time. If he's at uni then I dread to think what these shitcunts with flare's and indulged in a hooliganism culture are like. He supports Fener as well.

Which reminds me, they're the worst team I think I've ever seen Arsenal play against in my entire life.

Our final pre season games, away to Ballywalter was postponed, maybe due to a waterlogged pitch.

Think the commentator needs to cheer up a bit. I don't understand why the standard commentator needs to just moan for 90 minutes. Criticising others constantly wont improve your performance.

Malaga tore Newcastle apart in the first half, three great goals as well. I think the big reason for it is Cabella and Sissoko probably aren't very fit, and their fullbacks are totally overwhelming Newcastle on the flanks. Getting constant 2 on 1's against Haidara and MYM.

Malaga have also been fantastic at spreading the play, excellent technique.

Glad the pundits have found out Ayoze Perez and Adam Armstrong are a bit 'lightweight' - Fantastic insight lads. They're now blaming the lack of 'desire'.

Glad to see Pardew is persisting with MYM as a right back after he impressed him in the centre.

Steven Taylor is also awful.
