What the bloody hell were you planning on doing there at 6.30?

Well, if you must know my itinerary it would have gone as follows

6.30 - park car on muddy field

6.35 - leave car after getting daughter kitted out in jumpers, scarves, coats, gloves provided by wife

6.40 - 7.10 (queue + eating time) - bag of chips to share from Red Dragon

7.10 - enter ground

7.15 - finally get up steps to BBE top tier

7-20 - start breathing again

7-22 - order pie and drink for daughter

7-30 - staff finally add it up and work out change from a fiver

7-35 - take seats ready for kick-off

7-40 - escort daughter back down to toilet

Have you heard Bill Cosby's "Daddy, I need to pee pee" sketch?

Basically goes that his wife makes him take his young daughter to an American footy match. His team, who rarely win, are inches away from a touchdown, high tension and all... and his daughter demands to go to the washroom.

Sounds like you have a little in common with Mr. Cosby.

We can't change anything.

Can I change my undies?, I like to - every Thursday, after my weekly bath!

[only2garners]

My brother had to take my nephew to the toilet late on in the West Ham game and they missed kuqi's winning goal. I'm thinking of bribing him to go again at key times!

[eddiemd]

Really gutted that the match was called off last night, esspecially as i bought my ticket at 17:45 and I asked if it was still on and they said yes, nothing about a pitch inspection.

On a plus point went I went back to see if I could get a refund on my ticket (as I might no be able to make it to the rescedualed match) They alowed me to exchange my ticket for the Pompy match on monday.

So some thing good came of the night, I now get to go to Ewood on Monday. just hope it a bit warmer

and it takes a long time for them to subtact £4.50 from a fiver

[den]

Shall we use this for the rearranged game?

[Wolverine]

It looks like you already are!

12 - 0 sunderland, john stead

[Ben-2000]

A comfortable win for Rovers, with Stead sneaking a consolation near the end.

Att: 19,307

[Gareth]

Depends which version of Rovers turn up:

If we play like we did vs Utd: we'll win quite easily

If we play like we did vs Everton/Brom: Sunderland 2-0

I actually have no idea.

[James No. 7]

Come on Rovers! Make this count!

5-0 to the Rovers. Bellamy 2, Pedersen, Reid, Bentley.

We know we're good enough for Europe if we put in the effort. I am confident we won't do another Everton. We'll beat them and put ourselves back on track for the coveted sixth spot.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

We go to 6TH if we can win this one against a p1ss poor Sunderland side!!

PLEASE! dont balls this one up blues

[Bobby G]

Though I would have thought we have blown any outside chance of Champs League football due to our two defeats.

[John]

Jansen did play well for Bolton - looks like he is going to get a run of games. You would think he will only get better as well. I know he wanted to leave but the timing of it was when we ran into a striker crisis and he would have surely had chance....

anyway, no point looking back.

[yellowsubmarine]

There's no place for pussy cats on Wednesday! Rovers must treat the Sunderland game seriously!

Losing to the worst team in the league is sooooooooooooo unthinkable.. Co'mon Rovers!!

[nolan9]

I think Sunderland will be up for it after they have just got a late equaliser against spurs. Darryl Murphy i think who got it. Even so i think we should win comfortably but i have got a bad feeling about the game.

[Alan75]

Lets not build up our hopes too much, Rovers have a habit of making life difficult, against the lower placed teams.

I just hope Mark Hughes makes it clear to the team, that failure to produce on Wednesday will not be acceptable.

[bellamy11]

Good result for your lot PhilipL, Spurs aren't a bad team. Will you be starting Murphy against Rovers?

[philipl]

Some guy called Saunders has offered me a load of scarcely used red and white traffic cones. He thinks facing them will have a bigger psychological effect on some of the old Rovers players than facing some scarcely used red and white Sunderland players.

D Murphy plays for Spurs now- did he change sides?

[BRFC4EVA]

Hopefully a big travelling support from Sunderland to help boost the average crowd. How many did we give them, 5,500? Heard they had sold 4k for the 28th clash

This game is really important for us. A victory and all of a sudden we are in 6th place before the fa cup break and everyone is happy again. Loose, and our season is over. Or am i being a little dramatic?
