    I m a burnley fan and I have posted on here before in glee, on reflection I shouldn't. No club deserves what yours has had to put up with. It is beyond belief what mindset the owners/manager are in. Im a football fan of my club, season ticket holder and look forward to saturdays, the atmosphere etc. At blackburn it all just looks a mess and no fun at all. In a way Im not bothered if you are relegated only in that it will be 2 good games to look forward to and thats all really, 90 minutes of banter then its finished with. After that life goes on really doesnt it apart from saddos obsessed with being better than each other or superior than each other which nobody is. Good luck but i fear the worst for you.
    You are right, it isnt any fun. Weve had a lot of Burnley fans on here and its expected but some of the stuff posted has been pretty obsene. There's kids read this site. It has also been repetitive and I for one started scrolling past it. The thing is, gloating about relegation is pointless. Many of us have expected it since last season so weve had chance to get used to it. Its the other stuff thats frustrating and the way the fans have been targeted and blamed when all they care about is that the club is run honestly. I for one would pay more for my season ticket with a reassurance that Kean would be gone and Venkys would start taking responsibility but it aint going to happen. There are the derby games to look forward to but as in the premier league when we had played at Turf Moor after having a great build up and day out, that was it. We may only get next season because we will go down again Im sure."

Dunn: Survival would be a ‘great achievement’

DAVID Dunn believes Premier League survival would be a “great achievement” for Blackburn Rovers after admitting dramatic changes at Ewood have proved costly.

The midfielder celebrated his 250th Premier League appearance by helping Rovers to a priceless 2-0 win over Norwich City, as they gave themselves a top flight lifeline.

Rovers remain three points adrift of safety though with just three games remaining and Dunn admits the amount of change at the club in such a short space of time has had an effect.

Dunn said: “It hurts a lot. Everything around it hurts me. There just seems to be unrest everywhere you look. But unfortunately that happens sometimes when things aren’t going well.

“I think there have probably been too many changes in a short space of time and I think any club that makes that many changes would be affected.

“That goes from at the training ground to down at Ewood. But we’ve got to keep going.

“I think winning the Worthington Cup was really good and the promotion season was great, and my England cap.

“But I do think that after everything we’ve had to put up with this year, and it’s been so frustrating for everyone involved with the club, it would be a great achievement to stay up.

“I’d be over the moon if we could get those points in the bag.”

Just a few weeks ago, Rovers looked to be heading to safety after wins against Sunderland and Wolves moved them six points clear of the drop zone.

A run of five straight defeats though drastically changed the outlook, leaving Saturday’s win vital to give Rovers a chance of surviving.

With trips to Tottenham and Chelsea and a home match against Wigan left to save their season, Dunn knows nothing can be ‘left on the pitch’.

“Basically, whoever goes down, deserves to go down,” said Dunn. “Hopefully the big man upstairs can look down on us and keep us in the league.

“But it’s certainly not going to happen if we play like we did at Swansea.

“We’ve got to have a real good go and our application, first and foremost, has got to be the most important thing.

“Every single one of our players has got to go out there and give it everything. We’ve got to match the other teams for determination and willingness to grind out results and I think too many times this season, we haven’t done that.”
