what's Bournmouth's welsh midfielder doing these days - David Brookes ?

wont they be getting the Sky 'Losers bung' parachute payments still?? gives them a huge [albeit temporary] advantage over the Championship Clubs .....

Its a German Whine, clearly we're going to get Klopp in as manager..............

counter-intuitive; surely if they're a big lumbering defence, their worst nightmare is small, mobile, nippy forwards with the ball played to feet. Risk of matching a tall forward against big defence is opening the easy option to just hoof the ball towards him......

wonder what Jordan Rhodes and Rudy are doing these days - still playing??

Don’t be giving us the Hannibal Lecture……

the reality is that Pears is only at Rovers as his dad is a mate of Mowbrays. 4 year deal handed out to see a 'boro lad right for a few years. Nowhere near good enough to even make the bench from what's been seen of his abilities so far. Farming him out on loan just got a whole heap harder after his 'iron-gloves' display on Saturday,

opposition managers may also be telling their keepers not to dive where he's aiming............

he brought the bag to smuggle Leighton Clarkson home in...........

probably have a nicer treatment room in Shalke.......wont be quite as crowded either.

To be fair to old Tone, he was confused by Balajai, the Venkys apparently told him he could sign Naymar - (Naymar defenders, Naymar forwards and Naymar midfielders - just left the bloke with wingers to go for ) (Not original - I’ll get my coat……)

Maybe not all bad - if anything, last evening suggests that if when Ayala breaks down, the other central defensive options are at best, poor. Maybe its time to go back to basics, make us hard to beat by not conceding goals, get some decent defenders in with whatever cash we have. We've waited a while, "defenders are coming" we were told....... Which bench is Kipre sitting on these days?

Imagine Mowbray's discomfort if they have, he does and he bangs in a few...........

and at least twice the price! - might all depend on whether Wet Spam make it into Europe, if anything I'd see it more likely that Abraham would go to Villa [ or Spurs if they sell Kane ]. It's all opinion of course, but can't really see Armstrong as a top-half PL forward

sadly also old legs, muscles, ligaments and tendons........he's a crock

Number 3 just has to be Graeme LeSaux's big brother..............

That's actually 2 teams that would hold their own in the Championship - it would be half decent match watching them play each other, wouldnt allow the 'second team' to play with 14 though - Pears, Magloire, and Davenport have to be ballboys for the day......[they can fetch Gally's shots from the trees].

assuming of course that he passes it.............

no-one mentioning "Waggy"? - he'd seen better days when Rovers signed him, but still had a magic left peg and a great football brain [ that his body couldn't quite keep up with}.

el Hadj Diouf - world class bad attitude and taste in bling

That’s making money, not spending it.............different mindset, different morals

Send them Charlie’s highlights videos quickly ......

Maybe the words ‘against Wycombe’ are more telling than ‘5 chances’. Time will tell, but midfielders these days need to be strong, fit, tough hombres that can also play a bit. Buckley does seem a bit frail to be a centre mid at present - but with cash tight we do really need him to live up to some of the hype.

Norman, A’marii or both??
