Right Barney In Blackburn

But that is exactly the big story from the first night of the Holsten Premier League on Sky Sports. Wayne, to my surprise had 70% of the northern crowd on his side against Phil, but could not manage a late surge of class to stop The Power.

Then - blow me over with a goose-down flight - enter Barney with 80% of the lads and lasses of Blackburn screaming for him as though he was Craig Bellamy homing in on a hat-trick. The lad Ray done great: he blitzed local boy Ronnie Baxter, who looked gob-smacked throughout the encounter.
