It is a Poppy- symbol of remembrance for the dead of the two World Wars.

The table has become even more bunched after today's results. 3 points cover the top 4 and 3 points cover 7th to 15th.

I always look for the 9 point gap- the number of points a club can realistically gain on the rest if it goes on a great run. On that basis Wigan in 18th could overhaul Bolton in 5th.

At this stage, West Ham look like they have too many poor players in too many key positions whilst their good players are having iffy seasons or can be too easily nullified by the opposition. Wolves are hit by injuries badly but they have bought too many very good Championship players in their transfer splurge. Wigan are a right mix of the brilliant and the awful but none of the promoted trio are in the bottom three yet and I don't think any of them are that outstanding. However, the Managers of Blackpool and WBA are doing brilliantly.

Even if we had lost yesterday, I'd still be feeling pretty comfortable about Rovers' survival chances this season.

We are only 4 points of Bolton at 4th place.

Looking at our upcoming fixtures except United at OT we can very well command a place in the top table during the coming weeks.

To use a quote the Venkys might use in their other business; chickens should not be counted before they are hatched.

Why not be positive about it?

Thats how I am.

So, you're positive about it, but given up three points to the Mancs?

At the moment, my thoughts are that we should be taking something away from the theatre of dreams.

I'll take any points from any games, whether it be 1 or 3, such is the dog fight that we are in.

Just as long as we don't end up with zero points out of any of the upcoming games

People also have to be realistic…from now until Jan 1st..we have Sunderland Away (haven’t lost at home), Bolton away (much improved side)…a team very similar to us (Stoke) and all the rest are teams who will be fighting for their lives (Wolves, West Ham, West Brom)….lets not get carried away, EVERY game in the premier is tough. Yes they are ALL winnable, but we still need to perform to take the points…key for us is to win our home games, not lose our away games & try to pick up a win or two on the travels.

Im in agreement with Philip though…I don’t see any worries for us this season – we already have double the points of West Ham & Wolves…and West Brom seem on a rapid decline, with Wigan struggling too & Blackpools honeymoon period over (with a tough 5 game run coming – Bolton A, United H, Stoke A, Spurs H, Liverpool H)

Maradona, at craven cottage, long way from home on a Sunday afternoon. ????? Who's for the chop, Mancini or Grant.

Although i have a feeling Curbishley will be replacing Grant soon.

Don't equate the incoherent one's presence at the Cottage or at Real Madrid this weekend to a replacement. Maradona's been making the rounds to collect interest in the Boca Jrs. job. He's rumored to be a front runner for the gig and he's been huddling w/ Forlan and Tevez to get them interested in his 'project'. His agent has also put it out there that he'd been interested in a job in the PL-- however, that just doesn't hold water... can it??? Say it ain't so, Nicko.

Forlan/Tevez to Boca sounds quite daft--- highly unlikely in Forlan's case, but we all know Carlito is dying to get back home to his beloved Boca. silly bugger. :angry2:

He looks a bit like Nelsen in that pic

What's with this new trend of axeing the 2nd. in command? Obviously done w/ an eye on avoiding the balloon payment?

If Chelsea's move was laughable, but this one is laughable to the 10th. power - silly vice boys. (see, Philip, didn't succumb to the oft heard 'porn boys' :closedeyes: )

RE: Scott Parker... even a dolt like me realizes his wages and pretensions preclude Rovers as a final destination. This boys' been far more interested in $$$ over anything else going back to his Charlton days. shame that, because he's just what the Dr. ordered for our all labor no arte midfield.
