Episode Iii: Revenge Of The Rovers

[rover6]

Looking it live @ Finland. There was a small cut to which they sprayed some water, but didn't look serious. Well, I'm not a doctor

5 live sports extra were saying it was a 50-50 and Savage made a meal of it.

Good old Sav, eh?

But what a result. The media will go into overdrive in analysing Man U's pathetic defending but who cares. The ROvers fans can savour the double, even if the media don't.

Sportinglife claiming 25,484 tonight

[The Fly]

My day is already complete.

Bentley, I thought this morning, well... he's good, but does he score?

Does he ****!!!!

GET IN!!! It's results like this that make my heart beat blue and white.

[DE.]

Amazing result... if we'd had better up front it could have been more. Kuqi is so blatently not up to premiership standard it's not a joke anymore... but enough negative, 4-3, double over the scum, rio sent off, first hat trick ever against utd in the premiership... wonderful game. Make no mistake we had the game gifted to us by defensive errors by Man utd, they were SHOCKING in defence - but we took those chances and held on to the end. Absolutely chuffed.

[Jim J]

Going to watch the game on footy first, if they can squeeze all the highlights into 40 mins.

And I predicted 0-0

Oh how sweet work will be tomorrow

[greggyk]

WAAAAAAAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

What a whoops I missed off the "g" match!!!!!!!!!! I told ya Bentley was quality!!!!!!

DOUBLE OVER MAN YOO FOR FIRST TIME IN 75 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YYYYYEEEAHHAAAA!

BAN RIO! THE DIRTY THUG!!! BROKE SAVS LEG ACCORIDNG TO RADIO!!

[jim mk2]

First league double over United since Second World War.

[vyeo]

The Kingdom Stands Firm. On a night when the crowd called for a hero, the young padawan Bentley stepped right up to the plate and proved his mantle... someone make him a Jedi Knight now!

[tchocky]

Bentley seems to be reluctant to even pass to him, he rather goes to the corner flag to play time. Perhaps FSP will be more up to Bentley's standard

Haha yeah I noticed that too. The man is a pain to watch.

What a game! I need a drink.

First double over manure in 65 years. They had it coming!

And congrats to Bentley - I knew you had in in ya! Welcome to the Club

[rock steady]

mwaahahahahah!

[Welshrover1981]

Come on the Blue and Whites. i dont care if we didnt beat them in the League cup.

We have done the double over Manure.

Come on bentley come on the Rovers.

Fully deserved and what a game for the 25,000.

Nice one Rovers.

[brfcshabba]

Bentley is the first player to score a hattrick against them in the Premier league.

Dennis Bailey was the last player to score a hattrick in the league vs Man Utd in 1992 for QPR

[Welshrover1981]

What the bets Rovers will not be the feature game on Match of the Day

[Brainfreeze]

WOW! Well, that was one of THE best Rovers games I can remember, it really was a match that had everything! The oversized David Bentley poster is being blu-tacked up on the wall right now. Does anyone know anything about the injury to Savage?

Hope he's OK, I don't want it to marr this amazing victory!

[Esulx]

If this game was on Saturday it would be Sky's Game of the Day and all us subscribers would get to see this manificient game.

I'll setlle for the 40mins on Match Choice.

[pick32]

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Simply amazing match and amazing scoreline....I'm drained!!!

[Flopsy]

not lost to ManUre in the league at ewood since we got promoted

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

First league double over Utd since 1931!!!!!!!

[james19830822]

A good game but I think we could do even better. Apparently the refree is biased, but we still beat them.

Anyone knows who was our last player to score a hattrick against them?

[Ronin]

Top result. Makes up for the Carling semi final, kind of. always good to beat Man U, Champions League here we come

[brfcshabba]

REVENGE OF THE ROVERS!

Oh I'm so happy- this is fantastic. HOW I HATE THE MANCS!!!!

What to say? We were not really in it until that magnificent free kick by MGP and Bentley tucked away a really tricky rebound.

Saha's goal saw 2 Mancs offside but what oh- the Ref had already given the Mancs six decisions incorrectly. Thankfully Rio was in a generous mood and well done that linesman spotting a very clear deliberate movement of hands to ball. And how cool was Lucas Neill.

Then ecstasy with an absolutely sublime build up and perfect technique from Bentley.

GOOD CROWD- that was the perfect advert for the Rovers. No more sub 20K crowds from here on in, please!

Step forwards Andy Todd: stupidity on the goal line and then kick a guy going nowhere to set up the freekick for the Mancs 3rd.

But after that we ran the show, even before Rio got sent off (that guy is no way an England player- never has been IMO).

Kuqi- well the kindest thing I can say is that we won't be seeing him for a long while.

Woohoo, we beat the Mancs with our top three forwards all out.

Now let's take their Champs League place off them.

Yeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssss!

In dream land at 4-1 up, got very nervous at 4-3 but we held on. Come On!

Going to West Brom on Saturday and I can't wait.

Over the moon.

Hope Savage is ok.

Proud to be a Rover.
