I thought the big story was Kenny failing a drugs test?

And I wonder how much of a hand Nicko provided with the HIV exclusive, seeing as it was in The People.

The big tale was Kenny...the AIDS test tale not my line of country.

You guys are deaf dumb and blind.

14 Premier League clubs have yet to make their decisive moves in the market.

Everyone is waiting for City to get the ..... out of the market and all Cook can do is confirm he is the biggest moron in the League because for yet another window the man is proving he is too incompetent to even spend £100m!!!

Rovers will not make their signings now until the second half of August.

Lie back, chill, hasta la vista, burp

[ScottishRover]

Nicko you said the story will be big because it has never happened in football before or something along those lines. Players have failed drug tests before

Correct me if im wrong

[1864roverite]

I have had a disturbing convo with a mate who supports Reading and he claims that LITA is coming on trial at Ewood this week.

Perhaps with him being a freebie, is there likely to be any substance in this claim Alan ?

Kenny took his off prescription cough syrup before Sheff U disposed of PNE in the play-offs. Should that result stand?

Yes. I don't think they would go back to revisit this result because of an issue with cough medicine.

You'll be telling us we're playing Stoke away first game of the season next.

Oh.

I don't think a 'name' player has actually failed one in England. One was obviously banned for missing his appointment.

Adrian Mutu or do you mean english?

I know Sam fancied him when he was younger...I would not dismiss that rumour out of hand.

Adrian Mutu or do you mean english?

I don't think Mutu failed a test after a game...more like fell out of his motor before training.

If I was Preston I would be asking for Sheff U's share of the play-off payments to be re-directed...they got more for reaching the final...I'm sure Sheff U would have been asking if it had been the other way round.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

As you seem to be on and not too busy, can you confirm if Benni is with the squad or in Italy with a fitness expert? I asked before but received no reply, I just wondered if you knew?

I hadn't heard that one...they are all going to Italy this week.

Was that 'fitness' or 'fatness'?

JUST CHECKED WITH THE USUAL HOTELS...HE HAS NOT CHECKED IN...BUT THAT IS ONE TO KEEP AN EYE ON ALL THE SAME.

TA.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Definitely fitness. I'd heard from somewhere on the net that he had been training all summer and was surprisingly "lean and mean". Bit like the Ireland story, perhaps.

What Ireland story? Are they also going to use a Haka type war dance, before the start of every rugby union game? Lol

Oh.

Oh Mongo, only passing what what I was told and asking someone who may be in the know whether its likely to be rumour or conjecture.

As for the stoke thing, let it go mate. Sold a dummy and didnt lose any sleep over it. Thtas they way it goes I am afraid

Ste Ireland at Citeh. Didn't go on holiday but trained all summer.

I heard it a couple of weeks ago, mentioned it in the People and it has gone round in cirlces since. I don't think it has moved any further forward, but if the dozen or so names in front of him fail to happen then it could be on.

[1864roverite]

Alan is it you mate who has just lodged a £1m bid for Mccarthy in Scotland ? Scottish news reporting he latest bid being recieved but not naming the club.

Not really the first time you've posted complete and utter bobbins though.

I take it you mean 'your mate' and not me personally...

Not sure about that story. Wolves are interested and Wigan were sniffing. Burnley's offer is in installments to that figure...and won't be increased.

Just read his wiki page, not that prolific in front of goal looking at his stats, hopefully one or two of those 'dozen' will come off then, presuming they are better options

[Iceman]

Nicko unless ive missed something, is Coyle interested in signing Chimbonda? And i know our main priority is a striker, but any central midfielders being looked at by Sam?

No Burnley interest in Chimbonda at all...couldn't pay his tax never minds his wages.

On the Rovers front it is strikers and strikers alone on the radar right now.

Thanks. I have a Burnley friend, a good friend who i now and again beat up everytime he mentions Burnley. Lol.

Does anybody know if Luca Toni is still at Bayern? I was the one who mentioned him, so who knows Sam might just surprise us all. Then again, Davies or Zamora might surprise us as well. Lol
