Right, well onto a quick summary of some Rovers news:

Big Sam has let Mr. Arsenal aka Winterburn go as well as Robbie Fowler who I had forgotten was still alive. Big Sam has also met with Roque one on one and had a chat, then went on to say in a press conference that he would love to hold o to him but would have to consider any large offer that may come in from Man City. Well, maybe not that last bit about Man City but I think we all know what he meant when he said it.

Allardyce also was quoted as saying that he will strengthen the squad this window only if the right quality players become available at the right price. As long as that means anyone except El Hadji Diouf then I don’t think I’ll mind too too much.

Sunderland tomorrow for the Boxing Day match, and hopefully another 3 points. Shall the bounce of the new gaffer be negated with both teams under new management? Or will Rovers continue to ride high during this festive season?

One last thing: my predecessor here at the Blackburn Offside popped back up last comment, and I’m going to shamelessly plug his new site. Dan’s a great writer and a great supporter to boot, so make sure you check it out. The Rovers Return-click.

That’s all for now. Up the Rovers!!!
