Wouldn't be able to use it at Southampton, Aston Villa or West Ham either.
Cheers mate. Hopefully we will be back in the Premiership soon. I don't anticipate doing a Norwich or Southampton but we have nothing to fear in the Championship.
The other play off teams are Huddersfield, MK Dons and Stevenage. Huddersfield have taken a lot of the public attention this season but Jordan Rhodes has looked "off" for a while and their form since sacking Lee Clark has cost them. MK Dons are a tough side. Stevenage are actually my favourites to go up. Their rise has been incredible, they're an incredibly hard side to play against, score plenty of goals, play good football at the same time as being tough to break down and have a couple of players who will punish teams.

I'm willing to bet they were booing Kean and Venky's and not the players. Still, never classy to boo your own team.
"Account Suspended" - wonder what happened?
Agree its self destructive. I understand it though, sometimes you just get so fed up with a situation which seemingly has a simpler solution.

The chicken filed a complaint about the impersonation
To be fair the players have given up.
For a week or two now, including this game, Blackburn have been playing must win games and haven't given a shit. Was it Spurs away where they didn't have a single attempt at goal?
I realise the problem at Blackburn is Steve Kean and the Venky's, but this performance is the epitome of a team not playing for its manager or the club. Wouldn't surprise me if half of them already know they're off in the summer.
Shame for Jeff obviously but I'm hoping our first Championship game is Blackburn away next season.
All the Twitter accounts are being plucked. This one's still up, for now:

Dinamo Kiev are in for him, and Twitter are trying to keep it on the low.

My bad! It was before I was born to be fair
I think there was a relegation decider on the last day between West Ham and Bolton a few years ago too.

Robert Lewandowski is player of the season.
Striker of the season maybe, but it has got to be Marco Reus.

Something to do with Givet. I think he had an issue with his heart earlier in the season.

We made it to the final last year and were knocked out in the first round the year before. Following our progress we're gonna win the playoffs this time don't you worry
(Town Supporter)EDIT: Does anyone know exactly what the Blackburn supporters were chanting? We couldn't quite make it out.

Strange one that. He was blocked slightly, but he looked like he started falling a split second before the contact.
It won't help the on-field product (sure it's a bit demoralizing for the players), but the fans want long-term fixes more than they want to win any particular game. That's why I don't have as much of a problem with the fans chanting against the coach and ownership at the matches. A public outcry like this is one of the few ways they can get noticed and hope to effect change -- though they might do better by refusing to pay the owners money to attend the matches in the first place. At least they're not chanting anything against the players, far as I've heard.

lol, I felt the same way when I first read about it. Still cool though.
And yeah, Real's not getting Piszczek. He's among our most important players and has a contract till 2016.
It's kind of like the rumor about Alaba & Barca: it's nice to want things.

Hehe, you can for me mate, anyone but those piggy bastards.
If United get past Stevenage, I hope they have to play you at Wembley. All it takes is for Rhodes to have a good day and you boys will beat anyone else in the play-offs. I don't fancy MK Dons, can't stand the club and Karl Robinson is a full weight helmet. I do think Stevenage are favourites but my preference is either them or you guys.
