KIN FANBLOODYTASTIC.....

[Mr Maureen]

Great win,listened to the match report on talk sport,the reporter said we "had'nt beaten United in 22 atempts".

Thats incorrect is'nt it ?We beat them a couple of years ago just before Xmas.

[FINRover]

OH F.U.C.K!!

YES YES!!

[greggyk]

i do believe im quite happy

[James No. 7]

We might actually get some good press this week, what with all the talk of 4-5-1 ruining the game and entertainment and all that...

"Oh, look at what a team can do when they play 4-4-2" and all that.

Well, it would make a good change.

4 -4- 2, wasn't it?

[Welshrover1981]

Holy crap

Weve won. We have beaten the Reds 2-1. COOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ON the Rovers

Who says we dont play good attacking football.

MGP should be given the key to the town

What an amazing effort, and an amazing outcome...I almost $%^ my pants when Pedersen scored that second goal. Now I am in so much shock and joy, my brother is getting a call (he is a manure fan)!

Dicov and Bellamy up front was what I've been waiting for since Cole left!

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

WHAT A MASSIVE RESULT...WEEKEND MADE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[emglch]

i couldn't believe the scoreline. but the mistake by scholes really help us. of cos, MGP took his chance really well.

we can draw to bolton away, newcastle home yet beat manure 2-1 at old trafford. don't know how to bet for blackburn in the future.

On another day we might very well have got a good whipping. One game doesn't make the 4-4-2 valid.

[Rovers_4_life]

Fantastic, completely unexpected. Bring on abit of consistency!

[dillo_dillo]

OHHHHH! YEEEEESSSSSS!!!!

I'm crazy now!!!

What @#/?. United were the ones lucky to avoid a whipping, we should have been three up at half time.

This one I think has to be chalked up to Hughes. He had us all fooled thinking 4-5-1 for sure, leaving United's pre-game preparations in tatters. His substitutions were sound, and even after they scored I felt we could get another by having Bellamy and MGP on the field. We were positive for 90 mins, I have never seen our fullbacks get into the opposition area so often away from home.

Well done Sparky

[Modi]

I knew me not going would work wonders.

I just feel sorry for Jim's dog.

[cloggyjimmybrfc]

[Ozz]

Football Eh? Bloody hell!

[Claytons Left Boot]

For the first time in years I may just watch Match of The day tonight!

My lad sneaked out of the house at dinner time, never said 'owt, but he had a ticket.

BAAAAAAAAAASTAAAAAAAAAAAAARD!!

[James No. 7]

What @#/?.

FFS. All I was saying is that the 4-4-2 isn't responsible for the win. What has the 4-4-2 got us at Old Trafford in the last 60 years or however many times and years the 4-4-2 has been used there?

United were the ones lucky to avoid a whipping, we should have been three up at half time.

Aye. Did you not notice that I said "on another day", and not today?

[vyeo]

WHAT A RESULT! ecstatic. i must have screamed so loud the next block heard me but fantastic result! when i saw the lineup, i thought hughes was trying to gift his former club three points. i said after the villa match that i never want tugay starting in an away game, and never did i expect to see gray as well. but who cares, i gladly eat my words.

tugay did well during his time on the pitch, picking his passes well, and didnt get caught out as he's prone to be. gray deserves a mention as well, bombed up the left so often (something we've grown to forget is part of a left back's role) and even got the assist for the winner. let's just hope its not a flash in the pan. bellamy looked great, and MGP took his chance fantastically.

at half time, i would have settled for a 1-1 draw, and on another day it might have been 3-3, but we rode our luck and held out; all credit to the boys. if i must complain, it must surely be... why didnt we play like this last wk!
