6 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we seem to be doing things one step at a time, first of all it was turn draws into wins, which we have started doing, now we need to kill games off. Bolton, charlton, now pompey, just 1 goal up, its not good for our nerves and soon enough someone will punish us. Hopefully not today. Come on get a second!!

Damien Who!!??

Sounds like a good game..

Anyone having problems with rovers world!? I cant hear anything, im listenin on radio lancs at the mo but wud prefer rovers world.

Friedel Nelsen Nissa Todd Mcevely Emerton Mokoenna Thompson Pedersen Dickov Bothroyd Subs....gallagher, johnson, amoruso, flitcroft, enckleman Not making a prediction. Presuming bothroyd is back and barry is out of course

bloody ell, looks like nelsons gonna get his chance next week. Neil and matteo now suspended.

Bounced down off crossbar and went in off his back aparantly

just got back, in a word - delighted. Everyone played well today, friedel worried me a bit when he refused to make those corners his own and just stayed on his line but thankfully it turned out ok, great save by brad first half aswell. I see people have stopped slagging matteo recently, best weve had at left back for a long time.

I havent read the rest of the posts in this topic but im assuming there are people against savage coming and people for it. Personally i cant see how people can be against it. He will definately improve our squad. Flitcroft is crap, tugay is old, douglas isnt ready. Savage is a good player, he is desperate to play for rovers, and will play well under Hughes. Like dickov, his enthusiasm and determination to win will rub off on the rest of the team. Thompson Ferguson Savage Emerton Subs..Reid Looks good to me Having savage in the same team as dickov will also make us the most hated team in the premiership, which is great! We can annoy fans everywhere we go and that helps our team cause dickov and savage will wanna rub it in the away fans faces. Hence the rapist chants aimed at dickov at the reebok! Im happy, all we need now is Bellamy upfront and weve got the most hated team of all time.

Going to be a tough game this one with set pieces a big worry. However, 1 defeat in 9 and as people have pointed out, we have been the better team in most. Yesterday was enjoyable and i have to say im not exactly looking forward to tommorows wind and predictable railway nightmares but a win would make my christmas. I think we need to keep in mind the fact that we have 3 games now in 7 days and its going to be impossible to not shuffle the team around a bit, i think we should start this tommorow then at the same time as giving some players a rest, it gives hughes a chance to get a picture in his mind for villa, rather than starting the 11 that played yesterday and then they are all knackered by saturday and he wont know what to do. Assuming reid and bothroyd are injured..... Friedel Neill Todd Johannsonn Matteo Emerton Thompson Ferguson Pedersen (oh the risk) Stead Gallagher Subs...enckleman, douglas, johnson, Amoruso, dickov Therefore not 'dropping' dickov but resting him, he isnt young afterall and the way he runs 2 games in 3 days is a bit much. At the same time hughes gets to see a gally/stead partnership.

Im am dreading this game, apart from the fact i expect us to lose its going to be made alot worse.... 12:30pm drive to Blackburn giving 3 of my mates (all everton season ticket holders) a lift 1:15pm drive to burnley and pick up uncle (Burnley season ticket holder) 2:00pm arrive at ewood 3:00pm 90 minutes of hell 4:45pm Humilation for many days to come Rovers 0-3 Everton After all the crap i gave my mates last year after beating them twice i will not here the end of this for a very long time.

YEAH!!! Bloody identical twin im sure.

Thank god for that!!!!!!!!!! Somebody gets it and talks sense. Thanks greggyk i was beginning to think everyone on here was still living in dreamland, but its only 99% of the board. i quote yellowsub 'its time to unleash MGP'....my god, what are u on, if mgp played today he would have been slaughtered, i could give a bigger battle than he does.

dirty andrews!!!!!!!! Just crippled bazza.

geat, thommo off. Thats all we need with tugay injured

bout bloody time

SUBSTITUTION! for christs sake hughsey

Thommo on for flitcroft now! Flitty is creating nothing and just hoofing the ball away. Matteo seems to be doing well tho!

Im not one for criticising our tactics but FLITCROFT!!!?? Talk about oozing negativity, and matteo...oh god. Please prove me wrong lads.

oh dear. You obviously go to loads of games. Clown! Dickov is our player of the season so far. Has worked 100% in almost every game and has been a credit to the blue and white halves.

Quite a scrappy game so i think it was a good decision to start Tugay. Well done sparky. Of course, theres a long way to go yet. We have to keep concentrating, Fulham will come at us 2nd half, Coleman is gonna rip them to bits in the dressing room.

TEAM NEWS Gallagher starts alongside Dickov Short starts in place of mceverly Johansson moves to left back subs... encks, thommo, MGP, flitcroft, matteo

Ive read most posts on here, i was sat in the JW yesterday as i had a guest so i didnt even know anything happened until i came home. At first like many on here I thought no way, just lazy chants etc I have now seen the footage and it is clear than a Rovers fan was racist, he made monkey gestures and it sickens me, that stupid idiot fan has just got us so much bad PR its untrue. Every away game we go to now is gonna be a nightmare. Even if it is just 2 people i cant believe that has happened at Rovers. Since the racism days of the 80's and early 90's i cant recall any teams supporters being racist. The only racism in the last few years i have heard is from Everton and Liverpool fans, so i just cant believe somone who suposedly 'suports' our team can do that. It doesnt matter how many people it was, this reflects on our club and we will surely be punished as a club. Id expect a hefty fine for the club, people are saying play the next game behind closed doors, doubt that will happen but the FA will punish Rovers and although its not the clubs fault, or any of our fault, we will be punished because of an idiot with 1 brain cell. All the booing of Yorke didnt help, i didnt boo him. Yes he was lazy and didnt contribute as much as he should but this season he really tried hard and loooked sharp until Souness decided to save his own pride. Anyway im not bothered about all that. Bottom line...TV evidence shows a rovers fan WAS racist. Therefore as a club we should and will be punished.
