To be fair the Hammers were reportedly offering Young 50k a week which is beyond belief when you consider he's had relative success for half a season. I think this is now 100% to do with money should he join the Hammers.

I think Neil told Brownie a few whoppers. Anyway...I think Konchesky is slightly better than Warnock...but not much. As long as Newcastle don't hijack the deal with a swap for Moore and Bramble we shouldn't worry!

Cheers Cocker. I see that site is quite good for reviews also.

Does anybody know when C & C Tiberium Wars is due for release on the xbox 360? I've tried looking it up but am not having much luck.

It has...just seen on the online LET edition that hes out for 6-9 months. David Dunn alone will not be enough now. We need a first 11 midfielder who can play consistently for the remainder of the season. Thoughts go out to Steven though-I hope he recovers his form of old. Edit- Sorry here's a link: http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport..._the_season.php

The LET describe Reid's injury as a 'scare' and that he was off for scans yesterday. Does anybody know the results of these yet? Hopefuly it won't be as bad as we all fear.

Absoloutely gutted with this. Just as it looked as though we'd have a fully fit squad. I'd go with you cn Barlow we HAVE to get a replacement in and off the top of my head Sidwell would be the closest thing to Steven Reid that we could possibly get.

Sorry guys had a bit of a delay...GGbarno is my gamer tag and I'm up and running.

Hi guys, I'll be Live in a couple of days (Just waiting for a new reuter to arrive). My gamer tag is GGbarno....but feel free to add me and go easy on me in my first few games. Games I have are Pro Evo 6, Smackdown vs Raw, PGR and Call of Duty 3.

This is a good point and one which a sports writer (can't remember who?) commented on a few weeks back. He said that whilst Neil is a good defender what with his aggressiveness and the referees strictness he would surely spend more time in the stands than on the pitch if he does move abroad.

I think your spot on Bobby. Like I said in another thread, Neil's situation in the team is definitely not benefting the club and I don't think Todd's is either. Think in your job if you were demoted for half a year and then called upon again because every other person was off ill you'd be livid. Get shot of both in January with obviously Neil first. BTW on a side note I read in one paper yesterday that Brad and Sav had a huge bust up after the game? Anybody see this?

Emerton has done this at least twice now this season. Stick him on the blinking post so that he can't do any more dissapearing acts at marking.

Said what?!

To be fair everyone keeps saying "Rovers must want to see him play though"...but it seems the more we hear this not being allowed to play story from different sources the more likely it is that this is actually the case.

It may have just been me-but on Eurosport's coverage they showed the players doing a warm down and it appeared as if Benny was joking to Neil about the incident. It looked as if Benny was cupping his ears-kind of showing Neil this is what you should have done. Did anybody else see that?

Fair enough-he gets into good positions though and with a McCarthy like player beside him could no doubt score more goals.

I liked the look of that Kim guy last night. I think he could do a job in the Prem as he is lightening quick and looked good at playing on the shoulder of the defence (something we lack). Does anybody who watches French football know how much he would be valued at? A poor game of football-and I personally thought, like the Basle game, that we could have easily have fallen two or three behind. Given that we blooded a fair few youngsters though I wasn't holding out much hope for an improved performance from us. Finally, I too am puzzled at Hughes' comments again. We didn't deserve the win, although Nancy weren't great either, and his post match interviews are becoming a recurring theme. Fair enough blame our injuries and poor officiating but please don't make out that we're playing well when we're clearly not. Perhaps this is one of the reasons as to why people are poking fun at Hughes right now?

Fear not...Nonda has stated that he is going to stay at Rovers for the whole season! http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=4...ying+the+course

The Hammers have called a press conference for this afternoon to unveil Curbishley. Bad news as its a club below us who should be rejuvinated.

This debate will be irrelevent when the Admiral is back

Bucky I certainly agree with both examples that you've listed. How Tugay didn't get his ban overturned was a joke. However I think that the Henchoz one was more or less right (certainly at least a yellow) and didn't hold any hope of a reprieve. I think we would have all been pretty annoyed if it had been a striker of ours and their defender in the same situation and he hadnt have got sent off. As for consistency and us getting a break or two...well that's a different matter!

This is one subject that I dont think anybody can back Hughes on. A silly decision and one that gets worse with every game that he wears it.

Congrats Danlad-I hope Rovers can give you something extra to celebrate! I'm going to go for a 1-1 with Sav bagging one for us.

This is probably bad news for us as they will no doubt get a better manager in. IF he does go surely a bet on Sven would be worth a tenner or so. Edit: As Circo just said...hes gone!
