Sam's advice to Benni

From the Independent- a devastating critique on the failure of the "War on Drugs" Mexico is becoming a failed state just as much as Afghanistan is. The issue in Afghanistan is scraping a livelihood together far more than it has anything to do with Islam. I personally abhor drugs and would never touch them. But since time immemorial humans have sought consciousness-altering substances and we now have a complete mash of random rules where one substance gets you a laugh with your mates if you get stoned and buy a round (alcohol) and another many years in prison as a drug pusher. Inevitably, the West is going to have to go into the drugs business and contract to buy up the entire Afghan heroin poppy crop - cost about a billion a year. That will be a far more humane and sensible approach than sending tens of thousands of young people over there to fight for something that is now grossly ill-defined. And cost less. And be more certain in its outcome.

That was the greatest since the early '60s which probably did have a greatest of all time claim even though individually Shearer undoubtedly takes the personal crown as Rovers greatest ever striker. Not to diminish our current quartet, they are very high quality and on paper should be capable of matching any other Premier League club's forward line except Man U and Arsenal (assuming Eduardo comes back fully recovered).

Benni scored 13 last season when he was way off form. He has quietly reached ten this season with that "fantastic looping header" © Benni, against Sunderland.

Good old Benni!

The Mail are saying Benni wants out after being sustituted by Sam when on a hattrick against Stoke. Well it is the Mail...

...and pay them £20k a week each to keep the wages within budget.

By and large, if the two were on the same line, Benni was right and Jason was left. If both players are on song at the same time, I cannot for the life of me see why Sam and his team cannot coach Benni and Roque into being a devastatingly effective front line. As Jbn comments, Benni is a very good furthest forwards player. I think Hughes' mistake was to play RSC furthest forward in a system that was geared to hit the front man with a cross leaving Benni in a complete no-man's land last season. I'd like to see Benni tried as the furthest forward in a combo with Roque as unless we buy some wingers, the crosses are just not going to come. And selling RSC in order to afford two decent wingers would be an exercise in the utmost futility.

We had a seriously big sell-on percentage on Garner.

I may have got this wrong but I thought I was watching a pretty basic 4-4-2 yesterday with Rovers concentrating on doing the basics correctly. Benni and Jason were doing nothing more sophisticated than Benni attacking the right and Jason the left. If that is to be the way forwards, then replacing Jason with Roque shouldn't be a problem except for keepers facing RSC in one-on-ones which would be a nice problem from a Rovers standpoint.

Completely agree with you on this one Eddie.

Roversmum, that was a fabulous post.

I am only going for an MoT test.

Survey into UK drug taking and attitudes. A quarter of the population has taken drugs yet only a tiny proportion of those have a drugs-related criminal record. Average spend per head on drugs points to a billion pounds unregulated totally illegal industry. Prohibition aint working. End of...

Little video clip currently on this page about legal substances for getting high. Apart from alcohol, I don't partake in any drugs. Haven't been to a doctor for over ten years- bit apprehensive about having to go to see one next week.

Five year medical stidies into the harm done by all drugs. Alcohol and tobacco don't come out well. The should be Class B certified by my reckoning if you believe in prohibition which I don't.

Terribly sorry to hear all Benni's sad news. Sincere condolences.

Tim Sherwood has joined Spurs as a coach. I wonder who will be the Rovers ex-player on the half time chat now and whether we will get more of a cheer?

Dave, you can easily pay double those prices in London or New York. Glad to hear by inference that Sydney remains highly affordable- certainly one of the best eating cities I have ever been to.

Rovers' catering partners get praised.
