I enjoyed seeing 7ft Micky Droy lectured by 5ft Roger Kirkpatrick. Brian Moore would have a field day with today's keepers, if he made that much of Siddall moving before Wilkin's penalty. He said Bolton went second after the victory. Who would have been top? WBA?

No one is arguing with your first point. Your second point is bollocks.

We had 17,000 home supporters on last week for an FA Cup tie against decent opposition. Fuck knows what sort of crowd you were expecting against Watford but if you think that there's any comparison between those two games, you're as mad as that bloke who thinks we should be getting crowds of 20K in the bottom half of the Championship.

That's not really the point i was making. The crowds we get are pretty much standard for us and for this league. In fact they're not bad for the bottom half of this league. We're no better or worse supported than most clubs our size. The difference is that other teams don't have to compete with the sort of clubs we have in our catchment area.

Chelsea v Bolton. Extended highlights from the main game on 'The Big Match' in December 1975:

'Are you watching BBC'. Top chant.

The surreal sight of The Ramones backed by the BBC orchestra at around 21:10: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b05279pn/top-of-the-pops-31011980 Specials at number one with 'Too Much Too Young'.

That was comical.

Their game wasn't on live telly.

I think there should be an unwritten rule on here that if your going to criticize our support, you should tell us which teams you're actually comparing us with. I don't think there's much perspective some times.

The only true measure of attendances are average crowds over a period of time. I think people are falling into the trap of picking out individual attendances and using them to criticize the size of our support.

Our crowds are not much worse than they've always been in this league. I'm really not sure what people are expecting and why.

Heskey doing the pitchside summarising for Villa v Leicester. Any other jobs going that he can tout Lennon for?

What i like about Lennon is that he won't accept excuses for defeat. The players are left in no uncertain terms that there's no such thing as 'unlucky'. That kind of attitude could make the difference over the course of a season when teams are so closely matched.

Anyone who sings that should be ejected immediately.

'Pathetic' compared to who? What size of crowd were you expecting? It's now seventy seven games and counting since we were in the top half of the Championship. We won't go up or down and the season is fizzling out and yet there was a bigger crowd at our game yesterday than there was at Ewood for a fifth round FA Cup tie.

It only meant nowt because we didn't pick up anything against Rotherham or Derby, two other games that were also written off at the time. Winning just one of those and a picking up a point yesterday, actually puts us within striking distance of the play-offs. Lennon was right to be pissed off. There comes a time were you have to stop writing games off and start picking up points.

Aye i remember you expressing similar sentiments when Coyle was in charge. All about the entertainment you.

That's a sizeable protest to be fair. It could get ugly when they go down

"With minutes to go we've done so well to get back to 3-3 and you've just got to see the game out, we'll take a point and move on." — Neil Lennon Perhaps you think the manager is a 'fuckin knob' then.

Have you listened to his interview? I'm not sure that's what he wanted. He was right, we chucked it away.

Lennon's reaction might surprise a few: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/31423285

His first three games were against three of the bottom four.

Spot on.

They need to sort it out before then.
