  1. Frightening to say but that ranks Rovers only about half way up or down the Premiership's pay league.
  2. All those semi-finals; he is having to work hard.
  3. About 20 players get through £500K a week- ish. Divi it up how you want to.
  4. So if we finish above Everton, we are on our European holidays in late July. Well, we also need to come above 8th although would UEFA ban all English clubs if neither Rovers or Everton came 8th or above? ...then there is a risk we might make it into the UEFA through the front door.
  5. Hope you are right salothsar! Both Kyle and Stead looking for their first goal in aeons so we've got to score at least three.
  6. No Joey- I've guessed a generous £6m ($10m) out of the £31m ($50m) total wage bill for everybody else.
  7. The Wrexham fan will be enormous by now- Matt Derbyshire has scored twice in the first half against Rushden & Diamonds.
  8. Since he made his debut, he seems to have been on every Brum team sheet I could be bothered to look at.
  9. He's not- he's spending Gaydamuk's money and he's the guy who is rumbling to the press.
  10. Milan Manderic is taking legal action for comments by Rupert Lowe whilst his soon to be successor is talking about sacking the "unimpressive" 'Arry. Shame we are playing the improving Sunderland and not Pompey tomorrow night.
  11. Nicky Butt walked out when he found out that a Bruce had taken his place in midfield. Anyway, another product of the Academy is playing regular Premiership football for those doubting its worth.... (We'll get the sell-on when Bruce senior gets fired)
  12. Yes the rest of them start their hols at the beginning of May- actually make that 31 January.
  13. McClaren is a tactical genius... according to David Pleat.
  14. What fantastic reads- how I wish I was taken to that Spurs game! As for Boxing Day 1963, ten First Division games produced over 60 goals. This is without checking but Fulham beat Ipswich 10-2, there was a 5-5 (Brum v Arsenal?) our 8-2 and Bolton played in a 1-0 so somethings never change!
  15. It was on the day of the club's 120th birthday as well. Surely you remember the two superb strikes from Lars Bohinen?- Forest fans not very happy about that. They had their skipper sent off and Shearer smacked in the fourth from the resulting free kick. Forest had just gone 25 Premiership games unbeaten before that game as well! The return at Forest ended up 5-1 to Rovers making the 12-1 aggregate double the joint largest aggregate double in the 118 years since the football league was founded (Newcastle clocked 11-0 over two games against Barnsley in 1911).
  16. Some guy called Saunders has offered me a load of scarcely used red and white traffic cones. He thinks facing them will have a bigger psychological effect on some of the old Rovers players than facing some scarcely used red and white Sunderland players. D Murphy plays for Spurs now- did he change sides?
  17. Perhaps when they know who has qualified? http://www.uefa.com/competitions/intertoto...rmat/index.html
  18. I think you'll find United almost halved the size of their youth set-up. Fortunately, we are not run by the Glazers.
  19. Just seen that PHILIP WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL!!!! Never mind reading the posts above, I searched for INTERTOTO because the Rovers have just announced they are applying to enter the reformed Intertoto Competition this year.
  20. Hope you find the road out of Wigan again by 3pm ozzie.
  21. Profile of D'Allessandro
  22. About 20 players are taking $40m between them. The entire Board of Directors was costing less than $600K.
  23. John Williams in the LET
  24. Can somebody watch it and let me know the score?- I can do something else tomorrow afternoon now.
  25. A draw is long over due for both sides. Everton have also made a habit of winning this sort of game in adversity and doing doubles over us. That said, we are well capable of winning there and have a Manager who is capable of setting the team up to get it. Hughes and the team bungled at West Brom- I am trying to remember an occasion in the last twelve months when they have mucked up performance and tactics two games running (that is a different issue from losing two or more games on the run).
