A total embarrassment!

It's simple - get rid of them!

Add Derek Dougan to deceased. I'd actually forgot that Djorkaeff played for us. Shame on me!

It's ok - he will be another ex-rover that leaves and sees his career stand still. Hughes is no mug and we will have a replacement for sure! Benni has to rememeber that a high proportion of the goals he scored were actually put on a plate for him by Bents, MGP etc. Can't see the like of Boa Morte and Matty Etherington supplying him like we have. Even Chelsea wont accomodate that and he will be second fiddle to Drogba and used as a sub/carling cup games. Now sling yer hook or shut up, Benni

I'm in danger of replying to my own post but check this out - the last part of his interview: "If that opportunity occurs to go and play for a team like that (West Ham one presumes), then I would love for my management to look at the possibility and look in their heart to make it possible to make a move like that." Look at it in their heart? Yes Benny, just like you're looking in your heart (or is that your bank balance you greedy git)!

It's just so dissapointing that he has to air his views in public with total disregard for his employers. Press misquotes and agents propaganda is one thing, but this is just a joke! Fine him a months wages for disrespcting his employer and yeah, slap him on the transfer list while you're at it! As for Defoe, that would be the biggest coup of the lot but unfortunately, it's not gonna happen!

Benni has been on sky sports news this morning coming out with the usual stuff about wanting to leave to better himself / champs league etc. He then threw West Ham into the interview so perhaps he wants to play in the championship!

Neil Ruddock was a close call in 1994. Unlikely we would have won the league with the fat lazy so and so marshalling our defence!

I have to disagree slightly here - we've never really struggled with left backs. From 1980 - Sansom, Pearce, Dorigo...ok, i'll give you that one!

Politics - The Fa have to be seen to be recognising bin dipping Yorkshire outposts.

My Burnley supporting work colleague tells me that he will be booing Bentley.

Couldn't agree with you more! Look at scenarios from other clubs where a little faith has paid off: Vidic - dreadful last season and lesser managers would have shipped him out Evra: see above Drogba: Couldn't hit a proverbial in his first season but look at him now Henry: Awful when he first arrived at Arsenal (maybe this one is a bit extreme) OK, faith doesn't pay off all the time but Nonda has had big injury problems in the past, probably suffered confidence because of it and playing in the prem takes time to adjust. Besides, his goal ratio (is it 1 in every 2.5 games) isnt too shabani is it? Lets judge the guy after next season!

Nonda has been pretty average this season but if Hughes thinks he can improve him, well thats good enough for me. Wasn't everyone getting on the 'lets get rid of Emerton' bandwagon this time last year? Look what happened to him after a Hughes and the team got to work on him. Totally different scenarios, of course, but the same principle of believing in his players. We gotta trust his judgement.

The kid's only 20 years old and gonna be a couple of years before he (hopefully?) becomes a proper player. Bentley wasn't very good at 19/20 either and look what's happened to him in the past 2 years or so.

Unfortuntatley it's inveitable that he will eventually go to United. He's a red through and through and is probably the outstanding candidate for that job. That's life!

Fat Frank has fractured his wrist and is out of tonights game. Apparently it was from a Rooney shot in training.

I don't think it was for purely financial reasons. OK, it was a free transfer and he's probably on low wages but, I think that Rovers gave him a genuine chance to get his career back on track with us and if it didnt work out (as it hasn't) then yeah, loan him out. We don't loose either way and the guy gets a fair crack of the whip. Good luck to Franny and maybe a Championship team is more suited to him. He just doesn't offer enough at the top level.

I still get annoyed about that and the Gerald Ashby decision to send off Berg for tackling Lee Sharpe in the corresponding fixture. At least Grabbi had a few good moments - the equaliser v Liverpool, the cross for Yorke's goal at Bolton and I think he scored a good un v Everton. Clutching at straws here!

Grabbi does look a bit shabbi in that picture. Really doesn't look happy to be there! Oh well at least he tried! The Souness legacy - Grabbi The Hodgeson legacy - Davies (oh and Blake) The Kidd legacy - Ward

Wonder if he's captain when they go to Scunthorpe and Yeovil next season. Unlikely!

Probably what he's been thinking for the past 6 weeks or so - asking himself what on earth he has let himself in for and questioning the wisdom of joining a tea-pot second rate cockey outfit when he could be captaining a brilliant Rovers team with the potential of playing the 1st cup final at the new wembley.

West Ham's fortunes hit rock bottom earlier today as news emerged that Lucas Neill had been swallowed whole by a huge black cat, thought to be a puma. The incident happened at the Chadwell Heath training ground, where the Australian centre back had arrived early to work on his injured ankle. The big cat was believed to have escaped from the nearby Bluewater shopping centre, where a promotional event for the Gourmet Cat Food Company was mysteriously cancelled the previous day. Manager Alan Curbishley told reporters: "This was the last thing we needed, to be honest. We are having a shocking run of results and are just looking for that little bit of luck to get our season going again. I knew something was up when I saw Lucas's daily pay check hadn't been touched, and then the caretaker told me what had happened. We are all gutted." The furry creature also made off with striker Marlon Harewood's left leg, although this is not thought likely to impede his career. Refusing to be disheartened, though, Curbishley quipped "you've got to see the funny side, I suppose. Only at West Ham could a black cat crossing our path cause us more bad luck. We've just got to pick ourselves up and get on with it - well not Lucas, obviously..." However, more bad news was on its way for the Hammers as the FA announced that it was to dock them 28 points for fielding Argentine star Tevez when he clearly should have been playing for a bigger club. Ex-player Julian Dicks was, as ever, available for comment.

Always a pleasant experience when the drummer leaves his toys at home. Hopefully he will forget the early knick-off time tonight and we can all create our own atmosphere like the good old days!

Good for Sparky - bascially puts the ball in Nonda's court. No meal ticket here and you have to prove your worth. He could easily up his game...Shebani, it's down to you!
