somehow dont think we need to worry about our allocation...77 should do it

Yes we do. If anyone needs a quality cheap place to stay btw...stay in ST Christophers village hostel, its just outside London bridge tube station. I just stayed there for the chelsea game and its £15 a night, has a bar, restaurant, club, hot tub, sauna and loads of american and aussie birds on their travels Luckily i already booked the wednesday off because its the day after my graduation...think im gonna drive down.

anyone else going to the game via preston? Pain in the backside theres no trains between preston and crewe so gotta get a bus Then gotta find hostel to drop stuff off then find the bridge..gonna be a close call me thinks.

An amazing talent that!! How he balanced the ball on his head while walking half the pitch il never know!

Ive always said hes our best left back. He was excellent in every game until we played charlton away last seaosn, he looked off the pace, then he had nightmares against boro and chelsea which saw him lose his place. If he can stop that happening again he is first choice.

just got iun. Best day of my life

Looking forwrad to it but not too confident. As we saw what happened against newcastle with one upfront at HOME i say just go for broke and go 4-4-2. Friedel Neill Zura Nelsen Gray Bentley Savage Reid Pedersen Bellamy Dickov Subs...encks, jansen, emerton, tugay, mokoenna

MEANINGLESS GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!? U MAKE ME SICK! The way our league form is going this could be our ideal backdoor into Europe. That will mean alot financially for the club. Its £10 for christs sake.

humerous reports from our most recent meetings can be found HERE

After raging home at about 100mph down the M55 im not even gonna comment on that, i still cant believe it, and Dean Saunders jumping around because he realised his job is safe made me sick. ROLL ON WEDNESDAY!

Usually when i feel this optimistic before a game i come out of the ground wanting to kill someone. That said, im gonna predict a safe 1-1 draw Friedel Neill Zurab Nelsen Matteo Mokoenna Reid Savage Pedersen Bentley Bellamy Subs...Kuqi, Jansen, Emerton, Gresko, Tugay I know im going for the cautious 1 up front but with reid and mgp and with bentley in a more attacking role behind bellers i think we have enough to batter the barcodes while at the same time being safe from the likes of owen with Mokoenna in the defensive role, i think moko is an absolute legend in that position!

Met Dwight Yorke and Greame Souness in Washington in 2003, thats about it i think.

Jesus. The guy played well. Not the best of games but it was nice to have an atmosphere from rovers for once. Singing all the way through and put Bolton to shame.

Ive seen sergio a couple of times, at morecambe this season he looked very interesting

As far as the world cup is concerned ive not bothered trying to get tickets. Just gonna head over there, soak up the atmosphere and watch the games in Bars.

Good post Glenn, i agree with all that, and yes, one of these days these kids really are gonna get what they have coming to them. Anyone can run to mr coach driver after all.

Ban them now

Ya see you think your celever, u got abused with rocks and bottles!! wow...your gonna be telling that story and laughing to your mates at school all week.

Does my head in, i see them at most away games. They didnt annoy me inparticular today but i remember norwich away last year i had some trouble with some idiots. They dont care about the football, they just think they are clever and think their chants are funny, whereas they are crap. The chant they were singing for half the game today in their little group of about 12 Blackburn chavs (school starts again soon) was boring and nobody laughed apart from themselves. Then they are so thick they start singing garbage like 'easy, easy' when we are quite clearly under the cosh and about to concede any second, therefore having the villa fans laughing at us for the next 80 mins. Also singing 'whats it like to win **** all' to a club which has won the european cup and won the fa cup 7 times isnt the best thing to do. GO AND FOLLOW RUGBY

i wish everyone would stop going on about Kuqi...typical rovers fans. Give the guy a chance with a run of a few games with a striker partner for christs sake. The guy has just put in 3 good performances in my opinion, the only thing lacking was a goal. We know he can finish, weve seen him score 3 good goals in friendlys and he scored 20 goals last season in the championship. Yes its a different league but its still a tough league with very good teams in it and hes an international. Give him a chance.

Was the tv showing a different game? I dont agree with that at all. Kuqi is on his own upfront, having not done this before its dificult for him and hes done a very good job. He played well today just needs Bellamy/Dickov besides him.

Just back from brummyland. We got battered in the first half, we were crap and should have been 3-0 down at half time. After the break we were much improved and were all over them for 35 mins. The villa fans after the game said we were the better side 2nd half. Kuqi - Ran his socks off, had a very good game just couldnt score! He needs to learn to take his chances because at this level he wont get many. Savage - I thought aside from a couple of wayward passes this was one of his best games for rovers. He gave 110%, never stopped running and put in a couple of good deliverys. Pedersen played well, Jansen didnt really do much when he came on, Johnson looked better. Reid did ok at right back but il be happy when Neills back. Flitty was slightly anonymous as usual. Overall im not too disapointed bcause we looked good 2nd half, if we had Bellamy and Dickov available im sure we would have taken something. But with injured players or not, if Hughes wants a European finish were gonna have to start picking up points in these games.

A big shout out to the Blackburn Police who made a complete balls up of the traffic flow before and after the game. cheers

Definately keep wild rover it sets the atmosphere. Went down really well i thought.

If Mokoenna is fit and Jansen isnt... Friedel Neill Todd Nelsen Matteo Mokoenna Emerton Reid Svage Pedersen Kuqi subs...encks, tugay, gresko, gallagher, Johnson If hes not and jansen is... Friedel Neill Todd Nelsen Matteo Emerton Tugay Savage Pedersen Jansen Kuqi Subs...encks, reid, gresko, gallagher, Flitcroft If they are both fit, formation 1 with Jansen on bench ready to revert to 4-4-2 if needed If they are both injured... Friedel Neill Todd Nelsen Matteo Flitcroft Emerton Tugay Savage Pedersen Kuqi THATS CONFUSED EVERYONE. Im a tactical genius....but seriously i think this is a game that wont be right for Tugay. Mark Hughes was saying this and i think he was mainly hinting at away games, but i think Spurs are gonna be tough, Davids and Carrick will get better as the game goes on and i think we need a presence like Mokoenna or even flitcroft in there. Likewise if we play 4-4-2 id have Tugay in for Reid but hes gonna have a tough night!
