The Owls to win comfortably with Rhodes to bag at least a brace.

Will be looking to recoup today's losses on this match.  Owls are 4/6 to win - will take that with a few quid also on 4-1 at 35/1.

Taking the wife out for dinner on Valentine's Day so choice of wine may well be dependent upon how it's going at half time !

Awesome. 3-1 win to Rovers it is then! Cheers Merc.

Howson with a Tugay-esq volley today.

Stunning strike.

[Husky]

Well, thank @#/? for that. Panic Over!

Can't see us getting anything from this. I get the feeling the towel's been thrown in by all concerned at Ewood.

Problem is SAM deals only in stats and takes no account of the in-human factor aka Chimphead

We may scrape a draw. Otherwise they wil give us a trimming. Depends how long we hold them out for. We will be doing well to get to half time. 

Finally a reasonable post from you, well done!

May I be the first one to bitch about the Preston game kicking off at 1pm. I'm travelling home that day. I could make a 3pm kick off but not a 1pm.

 

And yet they will allow 9000 Man U free reign of Blackburn next Sunday for a 4.30pm kick off.

[Bigdoggsteel]

We expecting 9000 utd fans?? Could there be more away than home fans??

[Mattyblue]

They got 7200 for the Darwen End, who knows how many others will be in home areas...

You only need to look at the Rovers twitter account and fan pages on Facebook to see there will be loads of Mancs in the home ends. They're all over with the sob stories - 

I'm a Rovers fan from ... that has the opportunity to come over but i'm not on the database, can I get a ticket?

I always assumed our game v Burton was on TV, being a Friday night. Turns out it's not.

Anyone any idea why there are two games next Friday?

There's a Burton Brewers Scooter Club Rally on the Saturday so our match has been switched to Friday night.

Somebody somewhere must think Rovers fans and Mods don't get on.

Last home game of the season we should take a leaf out of Villas book

Wouldn't you know it? Goal-line technology in the Championship next season!

(irrelevant to us of course)

[blue kiwi]

Good job it was not this season we would be a point less off.

[islander200]

Preston miss a penalty v wigan

Burton winning. We're going to be adrift very soon.

[Dunnfc]

QPR winning 1-0 too.
