Talking of Asian betting philipl, what are the odds on the floodlights failing in the second half tonight? About evens?

No way BB!!

Was in Seville for work for a couple of days in late August 1997, and watched a Rovers game in the very same bar. They opened the back room specially for me!

The score at the end of an enjoyable night was Rovers 7 - Sheffield Wednesday 2.

The locals couldn't believe the exhilerating football they were watching, more and more folk came through from the main bar to the TV room as Rovers racked up the goals. They all said they'd support Rovers as their "English team" after that game!!

So there may be a few Rovers converts around!!! COME ON LADS 7-2 WOULD DO JUST NICELY TONIGHT!!

[Grabbi Graeme]

SSN speculating that Man U new signing Patrice Evra won't be playing , so expect him to be in the starting line up then.

[Billy Castell]

6-0 Blackburn. Hell, everyone else is being sensible, so I'm going for a Nottingham Forest styled thrashing of the Red Satanists.

[krislu]

Don't want to predict a score as I'm usually spot on, and I have a bad feeling about this one..

[nonaynevernomore]

Reported to be 22 000 tickets bought 4 tonight

[RevidgeBlue]

COME ON LADS 7-2 WOULD DO JUST NICELY TONIGHT!!

Without them getting the two away goals!

Damn you Hughes! Haven't felt this amount of stomach churning anticipation before a game for years. We're playing so well I EXPECT us to win tonight.

Never mind that, this is what it's all about, not talk of survival etc.

Once again LET'S DO IT FOR JACK.

at 1400hrs John William appeared on sky and said the crowd was nearing 24-25k depending on ticket sales this afternoon.

22k can take a hike, its will be around 25k plus

[philipl]

In other words, the lowest Rovers v Man U crowd since Ewood was rebuilt.

[Bobby G]

If we can really take the game to United, I got a good feeling that we can get a respectable result.

Id say we need a 2-0 scoreline to have a chance in the next leg.

[pick32]

weve got to sell more than 22,000 my who are newcastle and liverpool fans are even going. i think it should be a sell out but we will get about 26k

Do you screw up kiddies birthday parties as well phillip

[pick32]

anyone traveld far to see the game

[Rovers Air Force]

about 40 foot today! from the couch down stairs to my study!

[AlanK]

Man.U have the their 1st team playing except Van.N.

[philipl]

Another party pooper. Mancs are at full strength except for Saha starting in place of Van Nistelrooyd.

Rovers starting with Gray, Savage, Tugay, Bentley and the only surprise- Kuqi with Bellamy.

[Bobby G]

What a Bser Fergie is.

And he is doing it against little ol Blackburn. How times have changed.

No Peter and Thommo in the 16.

Edited January 11, 2006 by Bobby G

[herbergeehh]

Would've liked to see Peter on the bench, and Dickov instead of Kuqi upfront.. oh well, let's get them anyway.

[pick32]

he said in recent weeks he was playing fringe players only first team players missing are scholes and v nistlerooy but saying that apart from him there bench isnt to convincing

[krislu]

ROVERS: Friedel, Neill, Todd ©, Nelsen, Gray, Bentley, Tugay, Savage, Pedersen, Kuqi, Bellamy.

Subs: Enckelman, Khizanishvili, Emerton, Dickov, Reid.

MAN UTD: Van der Sar, Neville ©, Ferdinand, Brown, Ronaldo, Rooney, Saha, Giggs, Smith, Fletcher, Silvestre.

Subs: Howard, van Nistelrooy, O'Shea, Bardsley, Rossi.

Not their best team? How stupid can Ferguson be, only Nistelrooy aint in the starting XI.

Any team news I'm stuck at work until 8?

You read my mind
