Episode Iii: Revenge Of The Rovers

[colin]

Vyeo,

Very good, nice slant.

Has anyone else noticed that you never see Kuqi & Chewbacca in the same room?

Makes you think.......

[cletus]

....& has anybody noticed how Emerton runs just like C3P0?

[vyeo]

Hahahahahahaaha. Now that you mention it cletus...

Colin: chewbacca... remember what ryan giggs look like when he took his shirt off during the celebration of his wonder goal against arsenal years ago?

Rovers 3

ManU 1

Kuqi x2

Savage

We should have hired the late Johnny Cochran to confuse Utd with the Chewbacca defence.

[philipl]

Wonderful preview.

Great shame Wolves aren't even trying against the Mancs.

I so much want to win this one...

kuqi runs like Jabba the hut

[Bobby G]

A draw at best.

[cletus]

Unfortunately i`m working nights on Wednesday, so i won`t be at the game. Hopefully a bit of revenge is on the cards for the mighty Pyros!

Check out what Manchester`s biggest fan in the whole wide world thought of last weeks encounter.....

Carl Ing cup semi-final success

Hopefully a decent crowd on at Ewood (for Gav`s sake! )...but i`ll not hold my breath.

altogether now....."COME ON YOU PYRO`S!!!"

[LeChuck]

Superb preview, I hope this hasn't slipped out of my memory when the Grooby's come around.

I can't see us getting anything from this game, we must be feeling low at the moment after being knocked out of both cup comeptitions with a week. Also, Man Utd seem to have luckily stumbled across something that really works at the moment...the performances of Saha as a winger and Richardson as a central midfielder are suprising to say the least.

[Quack]

I would take a point as a good nights efforts but moving into pessimistic / realistic mode, 2-0 to the scum, Shrek / Skippy the show boater - sorry.

[ihtd]

Rovers 0

Manure 4

We have got no chance, even with Bellamy, Manure for some rerason are hitting a bit of form, even with half a side out. As much as i hate Wes Brown & Rio 'Doh my drug test was today, wasn't it' Ferdinand, those two look unbeatable at the moment.

Our only chance of a sneaky win is if we get a dubious penalty like we have had given against us in the last two matches.

[OJRovers]

lets have a bit of optimism - we have only been beaten by Utd once in last seven games - we haven't turned into a bad side overnight.

Kuqi is due a goal...

Im hoping Rovers 2 Utd 1

Does anyone know if the match is on any foreign channels which might happen to be on in any of the locals?

[Presty On Tour]

great preview mate.

i fancy sav to pop up with a bullet and take home the 3 points for rovers

maybe 3-4 red cards too!!!

[gazsimm]

Friedel

Neil Todd Nelson Gray

Reid Savage Tugay Pedersen

Johnson(if bells is not fit) Jeffers lol Bentley

[AxesFirstTouch]

Hopefully Johnson will be shipped out on loan before then.

[gazsimm]

better get someone in first though if we let Johnson go on loan we only have one bloody striker fit

[rover6]

Come on, they'll have Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney in a make-shift midfield. Surely Tugay and Savage will stomp all over them and lead Rovers to success...

I'm pessimistic about this one too. I think teams know that if they can pressure Tugay into giving the ball away in midfield, they will score goals.

BTW: Henry Winter, in a recent article championing Martin O'Neill for the England job, cited the Rovers - Celtic second leg UEFA cup tie as a display of tactical mastery beyond measure from the Northern Irishman (or words to that effect).

Is it me, or is getting Chris Sutton to kick Tugay not worthy of such effusion?

Yeah I do remember how fast he ran away from the ewoks in the third film.

[Manchester Blue]

Can't see a big crowd for this one seeing as United haven't sold out.

[Hasta]

Yes they have. It was flashed on the scoreboard and put out over the tannoy at Old Trafford last week. Blackburn away - SOLD OUT

Edit- although Man U's website is shockingly unclear for the biggest club in the world ever. Official Merchandise Utd site

[Manchester Blue]

Errm no they haven't sold out because I work in Manchester and the lad behind me rang up for a ticket today and was told there were loads left.

[Hasta]

I can only say what I saw and heard at Old Trafford and they definately said sold out.
