I remember when Venky's first took over they said something like, "We want to finish in the top 4 so we don't get relegated each season". From that day on I have hated them and I'm somewhat glad they are failing catastrophically. On the other hand, Blackburn were a great club and it's a shame they've been lumped with the monstrosity that is Venky's. I feel most for the fans that go to Ewood Park week in, week out and had no say in this.
Steve Kean deserves nowhere near the amount of abuse targeted towards him. Fully Venky's fault for appointing a rookie manager. You'd have to be nuts to want his job now though.
Rather redundant game now for Chelsea tonight after losing to Newcastle and killing off any real hope of a top 4 finish.

Considering Chelsea are still in with a shout of a Champions League slot for finishing in the top 4 of the EPL, they've practically fielded a B-team against Liverpool tonight - No Cech or Drogba (neither are in the squad tonight!), Cole, Lampard and Mata on the bench, Romeu, Turnbull, Bertrand and Torres start

Maybe Chelski are fortunate that Ivanovic and Terry are going to miss the UCL Final

What on Earth was Di Matteo thinking playing this bunch? 3-0 down already...
They now must beat Bayern Munich at home in order to qualify for the Champions League...

They'd be better off with a couple signposts in kit right now then they are with JT and Ivan(ovic)the the Terrible! At least the signs wouldn't move about and leave terrible gaps!
Credit to L'pool, they've been fairly clinical with the chances they've gotten.

Good call there. Ivanovic has been awful, but that elbow to concede the penalty was ridiculous. Should be 4-0 atleast. What is Di Matteo thinking? They can now kiss goodbye to Champions League football next year.

Cech must be trembling in his boots over his place in the team for the CL final...

Haha what a game! Liverpool vs Chelski will be a great Europa League quarter-final next year!

Not source, but here's some news about it anyway
It's all over the message boards. Of course, nothing is official yet, as they might only change the nickname and badge.
It's been talked about on Radio Wales and not once has a comparison with Wrexham been brought up. I'm sort of indifferent to it, but as a Wrexham fan if this man wanted to pump £100 million into a Welsh club and have it called the Dragons and play in red, why not buy the pre-prepared football club...?
If only.

Read the thread title before you post, silly
Heh, well I see this as more of a general thread...
Speaking of which, spare a thought for the victims of the Bradford City fire. 27 years ago today, 56 fans lost their lives. Fortunately, this particular stand did not have the fencing in front of it. Had it had one, the death toll could have been in the thousands.
