Changing my tune since 2008.

Not really this season tbh - you're talking out of your ass. Since we reduced ticket prices to £199 its gotten quite full, which isn't bad at all, all things considered. An area with low wealth and a population of about 125000, surrounded by Burnley, Bolton, Manchester and Liverpool and of a mainly ethnic population who aren't into football. Getting over 25000 people a week isn't too bad when you consider all of the above. Not anywhere near as empty as it used to be, now its quite full. |

That's easy to say before you consider that Blackburn is a very poor area with a mainly ethnic and elderly population, its just after Christmas so people are skint, the roads are still not exactly brilliant. And most of us younger people have exams at the moment so that isn't helping. |

That would've been a harsh penalty - I didn't think there was enough contact for Agbonlahor to go down and Samba clearly withdraws his legs. I don't quite see what the Sky comentators saw, but then again all of their commentary seems to have been so Villa-centric that they'll do anything to side with Villa. Could've been one harsh penalty for each side now. |

I think it was equally harsh as a card as it would've been harsh to give a penalty - although he did start falling towards the floor the minute Samba's leg so much as looked like coming out. |

Haha no I wouldn't either but at the end of the day, he's gone to ground way before he gets anywhere near Samba's leg and while you could argue he's just trying to protect himself, another referee could've been tricked into giving a penalty as a result of his actions so a dive is necessary. What a stop from Robinson too. |
