this will be the point where the manager pulls at the heart strings about his tough upbringing and how he's a fighter, dignified fighter

sod it listening is unbearable...............gonna watch champions league, think of happier times Mike Newell killing Rosenborg seems like a bloody fairtytale now christ i miss the mid-nineties

there simply are'nt enough bodyguards, plus my blood pressure staying so high for so long would have killed me weeks ago rhodes 23 goals..............2nd top league score 5 goals Rochina...........3rd 4 goals nuno gomes..........what a team, what a squad

looking at the soccerstats.com website every stat on rovers under the sun, some choice ones failed to score away 43% of matches away clean sheets 4% of matches longest streak(back to back)of games without conceding an away goal 0 (zero)

won 13 this season looking at the 17th defeat be the 10th defeat away this season........won 3 away all season whats this faith you talk of???? FFS beggers belief a team straight out of the prem in 22 attempts could only win 3 times away at this level, kean players/kean management/embarrassingly kean results

youth team next game please Mr Bowyer pointless exercise it is picking the same players week in week out...and suprise suprise losing week in week out

any player without the requisite level of talent should never wear the rovers shirt.........unfortunately 11 of them are currently doing just that. this squad make up is so frighteningly similar to what Bradford had when they dropped through all the divisions, Pompey as well no marks/leeches/washed up journeymen.

midfield is so bad i'd certainly have 5 in there posibly with 2 slightly more advanced, the isolation and lack of service rhodes gets is criminal purely because the opposition dominate midfield and posession week in and week out resulting in the only out being constant long balls I've every confidence in Rhodes and Dunn having the required composure to at least work the goalie i have absolutely none in CKR and King I can't pick 11 players from this squad good enough to comfortably win this, just hope we get the breaks

murphy is on a par with ostenstad, leeches, money grabbing, effort shirking leeches..........ostenstad still irks me more than 10 years later seeing his contract out in the prime years of his career without playing.....times when i actually gave a sh1t about the clubs finances thinking all money raised/saved progressed the club, boy have those days ever gone

some solace in the fact the indian bast4rds can't wreck the memories......................christ he was good, chills you to the bone to think 4 years seems a lifetime ago i don't recognise the club in that video

arteta and tugay where never there at the same time, as for ferguson he can only dream of having Tugays class, must have been mentally ill as well to be homesick for Glasgow

25-30k per week for 9-10 games a year, undoubtedly a resounding YES. 40-45k per week for benni to warm the bench, cheerio. ......................................................ROBINSON........................................... .....................................................(A.N.Other).................................... ........ JACOBSEN.................SAMBA..............................NELSEN.........................GIVET (Andrews)...................(Khiz).................................................................. ....... DIOUF.....................WARNOCK.........................EMERTON.....................HOILLET (Doran)......................(Grella)............................(N'Zonzi)........................(Erlio) ...................................Di SANTO...................KALINIC.................................... ....................................(Roberts)...................(Gally) 20 1st team players there, maybe 2 better quality additions for a squad with a decent injury record that should be plenty to get us through a season. Even the chelsea manager wants a 23 man tops 1st team, so i don't see why we should need to carry extra dead weight like ellington as a financially smaller team. In a dream world we could have the above as a good starting platform and ditch dunn, reid, benni and peds saving i'd guess 115-120k per week that could tempt some reliable quality to come here. Looking at the above it starts to smell more like rubbish the whole ellington thing, we just can't afford his wages regardless of whether he is free.

time to start going through the channels, this game is well over

be good business for united to bid 100m for gerrard, great wingers, great defence, decent strikers, very average in the middle

some manc on the radio earlier saying he turned down 3 grand for his ticket as the memories are priceless! SUCKER
