How big is he?

Don't know if anyone has posted this, but an interesting take on Savage in today's times... Robbies little linky

...the ladyboy similar to Tim Sherwood??? funniest thing I've read on the MB for ages

Don't know if anyone else picked this up ,but the bit about hamstrings is interesting. You could well have said the same at thimes when GS was at Rovers.

Come on - we can still win this!

...funny how you never see the two of them together

listened to the game on 5Live - the first mention of Emerton was 30mins into the second half and you'd never have known that Bellamy was on the pitch. Kuqi sounded ok, mistified by the substitutions! still, its a fair way to go yet, lets just put this behind us and start again next week - please!

Agree with most of what you've said Modi, but not about Savage. Thought he ran around a lot but to very little effect and made very little contribution overall. Austraila 15 to win - jesus!!

Jimmy Cliff - You can get it if you really want

If Shearer had packed it in they'd have really been in the doo doo...

Perhaps if it was renamed 'The Free Beer Stadium' we'd fill it evey week...? We do have a problem, filling the ground, I'd be a bit worried that changing the name might further disassociate the club from all those who just turn-up twice a season to see us play the scum/chelsea (or whoever else is flavour of the season) and others who might come more often if there was a stronger association between the club and the town.

I've watched a couple of the England games on TV and have been a little disappointed by the poorish technique on display altho' its clear that the better teams (e.g. Germany/Sweden) are significantly better than the rest. However it seems very odd to me that so many people have commented that women's football is a waste of time just because they're not as good as the men. Well there are a lot of reasons for this, which have already been touched upon, history (the FA banned women's football for years because its popularity was threatening the mens game!), culture, lack of infrastructure, physical differences etc etc blah blah. But lets put it this way, if you play amateur football, sunday morning pub leagues etc you turn up each week and play and the standard isn't great but you wouldn't say "hey- we're not very good, this is a waste of time lets pack it in", you play because you like it and its fun. So lets imagine that someone comes along to your sunday game and wants to put together a representative England sunday league team, (you might send them off to Turd Moor) if you were selected you'd play, you wouldnt decline on the grounds that it was a waste of time because the standard wasn't as good as the pros. I'm not likely to be an avid follower of women's football in future, but it seems strange to me that they get stick for not being very good. Just let them get on with it and in a few years time this debate will go away, just as it has with with women's athletics, tennis, golf, skiing, cycling, swimming......etc etc

Tell you what, that is f***ing fantastic, I was convinced they'd bottle it

what's their email address?

This is disgusting. As ever the FA are reacting to the media feeding frenzy which has no basis in fact, rather than thinking for themselves. They're an organisation which loves to look as though its doing something, when in fact it never addresses and of the important issues. Its easy to kick a small club than to sort-out the tapping-up and diving which is rife at the top of the league. If you don't want to know the real score, look away now.

Alan Miller seemed like a nice guy but I always thought he was a dodgy 'keeper - always made me worry seeing him on the bench.

I predicted a 2-0 to Rovers and it might still go that way, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was very niggly and nasty and we might see a red card ot two (hope not of course) and I can't shake the feeling that Mr Le Saux will be involved. Lets hope he as a punch-up with Aunty Neimi and gets sent-off

Looking forward to seeing the Admiral score his first for the Rovers, then put both Crouch and Phillips in his back pocket for the rest of the game 2-0 Rovers - other goal in off Reid's arse from a Steadinho volley.

Don't know if anyone else has posted this, but the official site says: "After taking the advise of medical officers, it has been agreed to cut his season short with a view to him returning for pre-season in the summer." linky winky so perhaps he's not being cut adrift yet...perhpas the club'll decide wether to offer him a new contract in the summer if he looks ok when he comes back.

warm balls...? not that I'd suggest any foul play, unofficial seeding etc...

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but if we do make it to the final and play the Scum or the Gooners, then we'll be playing in Europe next season. If we play the maggots we'll have to win it. Obviously I'd love us to actually win the Cup, but as a big bonus, if we can just get there, it could have a big impact on the sorts of players who we might be able to sign in the summer.

Terrible performance - very happy to be in the semis, very unhappy at the way we did it (and yes I know Leicester put ten behind the ball blah, blah etc...). Felt pretty pi**ed-off at full time that we couldn't put them away properly. Oh and can anyone suggets a tackling summer school for Emerton to be sent to once this season is over? - not impressed.

Always thought Jimmy Cliff - 'You can get it if you really want' would be a good one, but I guess a return to Final Countdown would be ok.

beat me to it P - heres a link link

can I just say that Joe Cole is a diving, stroppy little tw*t - we saw it at Ewood and we saw it again last night.
