Take it on the chin I am not here to be a diplomat and I set out sometimes to wind people up -- it is all part of the fun.

I am Clarets born and bred, I have a natural antipathy toward Blackburn Rovers.

My column is not supposed to be objective, it is subjective; that is the point.

As for my views on the derby: Lady Luck played a part in the first two goals and the WalkerSteel stand is a Third Division stand.

I have no problem saying Rovers were the better side but they should have been with all the money they have spent.

After getting beat 5-0 who can blame me for being defiant?
