gallagher is enjoying himself at the moment because he is playing week in week out and scoring goals. when he comes back then he may get on the bench but he's not going to walk strait in to the side imo and then he will get fed up again of not playing and lose his form. hopefully he will come back, form a brutal partnership with bellamy, fire us into the campions league and it will be happy days!!! looking forward to seing what he does against burnley though, he should be well up for that!!!

im well looking forward to both games. only 3 games away from cardiff and i am well excited on the thought of going to another final!! i think we will win both, after beating charlton in the fashion we did theres no stopping us tonight. hughsey will have them fired up for this one!!! i hope m.g.p is fit but if the rumours about his leg injury are true then i think emerton and thomo will be on the flanks and may switch during the game and reid and peter on the bench for cover. could high scoring again the amounts of goals both teams have conceded and scored though its just better in our favour so hopefully that will win it for us. As for the league game, i think providing we win the cup game, everybody has a well fun xmas, the spirit in the camp will be good and with the edge of beating them only a few days before, will be the difference and we will take the 3 points and ruin mclaren and boro's xmas!!

rubbish against fulham!! was watching soccer saturday and i thought they looked well up for it when they showed the coverage of them coming from the cark park onto the pitch!! wot happened??? we just didn't play at all!!! hope we sort it out on wednesday, i really wants to go to cardiff again!!

with 4 games over 8 days in the xmas period, matty will get his chance!!

this is a well bad sticky situation. dunny can't turn around and say to mr big nose bruce i wanna go home when we have not even placed an offer as far as i know anyway. if he said that and we didn't go in for him he would be ######. Wot he could say to the papers is he would love to come back and play for blackburn one day?? and one day he may

i wouldn't start worrying yet!! we still have the big 4 to come to ewood, chelski, manky utd, arsenal and liverpuds!! also we have bolton and wigan at home for the derbys!! these attendances should blow em away well i hope eh

i dunno mate but alot of folk are paying on the day at the gate.

yeah we sold him for 5.5m but how much do you think it would cost to bring him back to ewood?

petrov isn't injury prone to begin with. box to box player central mainly, but can play on the right. good engine, can tackle hard and score goals!! immense for the price

does anyone know how much money petrov is on now?? i think the new deal celtic will offer him will be around the 15-20k mark p/w!!

mr lawrenson and the bbc must hate us so much. he predicts another defeat and then we will have the usual 3mins short coverage at the end of m.o.t.d!! smashing

well he's 5th in the pecking order behind bellamy, kuqi, bentley and dickov. bellamy is injured at the moment, so he has made the bench and even come on against west ham in the 90+mins!! if he's not playing, he cant prove himself, he needs a run of games but will hughes take the risk?? got a funny feeling he is starting against fulham!!

Would like to see Jansen thrown on, if we are 2-0 up. Give him a good 20-30 mins. 366840[/snapback] would like to see him start but hey its not xmas yet!!

last premiership game before xmas!! 3 points from down south would be a well nice xmas pressy for rovers. i fancy our chances down the cottage. coleman is feeling the heat from somewhere and im not talking about the weather after losing to brum we could really turn the knife!!

unless we have to go down south in the cup i hope not either the flash cottney #######

ass whooping!! 0-5 rovers savage m.g.p bentley kuqi jansen happy days

GIVE JANSEN A GAME!!

GOD I HOPE JANSEN GETS HIS CHANCE WITH BELLAMY SOONER RATHER THAN LATER!!

what the (Please don't use that word again) is going on??? haven't manky scum united got enough ###### problems at home? he can't even spell me name correctly!! im was there this season at o.t and im sure we gave then a good pasting on their patch on me birthday!! happy days!!

spot the spelling mistake

would be a disaster if manky utd didn't make the last 16!! fergy is feeling the pressure, think he could walk if they lose to benfica rather than being shown the door!! anyone see mr glazer in his chav bubberry scarf at o.t lastnight? at least he making an effort!!

didn't he used to play full back for liverpool in the early 90's??? anyone know how old this geezer is now? must be in the sheringham age bracket??

i watched the highlights of arsenal v thun lastnight and fairplay their defence was awfull. ok they had already qualified and it wasn't their strongest 11 out there but alan hansen would of been choking on his pint on some of their defensive errors!! cygan who???? is he even left footed? bellamy is going to have a party on saturday!! anyone see the snow balls when pires took the pen? if v persie starts diving around in the box against us he's going to have more than an elbow in the chops this time round!!

taking henry out would be a good start
