Brett Emerton must have been instructed to take on players, according to Radio Rovers commentator.

Did you rey the Burnley or Blackburn steam? If you tried the Rovers comm on the World site you wont get get any comm until just before ko due to the fact its an away fixture. Both, and they didn't work. I'll try both before kick-off. I know the match is on Five Live, but whether non-UK residents can listen to it is another question... Got Rovers commentary going, for once! Come on Rovers!

Anyone know whether the game will be broadcast on BBC Five Live? I couldn't get Match Live via the Rovers site going, but I've got Five Live going... I know they will be broadcasting games, but the Burnley game?

Excellent summary Philip. Just one thing though, the transfer budget hint doesn't mean anything to me! I would also like to know what that means. Can't a clear-cut estimate of the summer transfer budget, rather than a hint, be given for dummies like myself?

In no particular order, I have some sort of very mild affection for the following clubs: - Fiorentina (I picked them randomly when I used to watch the Serie A highlights a decade ago) - Barcelona (the opposite of Real Madrid) - Bolton (I am re-thinking this after Diouf and Allardyce's despicable behaviour and comments respectively) - Arsenal (liked watching them for years, especially recently, due to their attractive football, and also for being the lesser of two, now three, evils) And lastly, I feel a little more affection than the others for South Melbourne, my "local" club.

Better yet, why don't they cut the ticket in half so they can both share half a seat?

I really can't say I have felt angry at Ferguson until now. Why does he insist on putting our club down? Can't he just get on with it and talk purely about the Glasgow derby, without digressing? It's absolutely dispicable, giving our club negative feedback and hurting our reputation. And remember, this is coming from our former captain!

I would love to see that thread merged with this thread and have the gigantic thread closed weeks after the match and stored in the Message Board Gold forum. Doesn't really matter either way... just a suggestion.

I think that sheer class will ultimately be the difference in this encounter. A 3 - 0 win to Rovers.

20923 according to the official site. All in all, I thnk we can be glad of yesterday's result, even if the performance wasn't as good as it was made to be, according to some. It showed that we are certainly not deserving of going down... we are much better than anyone in the bottom three and can outclass those sorts of sides. We now need to keep our heads up following this game and continue to show improvement.

Confidence was running through the team like wildfire, according to Premiership Live commentators. Just in time for Burnley!

Robbie Savage comes off to a standing ovation. David Thompson comes on,

Savage pumps his first toward the crowd, to get the Rovers supporters to rally louder.

Robert Green having a bad game, according to Premiership Live commentators.

"It's all over" they say on Premiership Live. DICKOV!!!

Norwich have had a handful of chances, apparently. They haven't been taking their chances, though.

3 - 3 against Birmingham.

-- Emphasis added. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Dickov! All I need is Savage to score and my prediction score and scorers will be correct!

MGP playing fantastically in this first half, apparently.

MGP!!!

MGP!!!

excellent. We haven't been on the Radio since the Chelski 4-0 loss from my memory. 2am? I remember listening to that match very well. I stopped listening 2 - 0 in. And yes, the match is on at 2AM, straight after Everton's match.
