[Tim Southampton Rover]

If it happens, i'll be starting takeover talks on Monday.

[Presty On Tour]

the pub chatroom has expired?

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Not working for me either.

Villanueva didn't look too happy to be playing in the rain when they were doing the minute silence

Without seeing the replay, that looked a pen for them!!

Seeing the replay, he didn't get touched IMO!

[rovers1993]

andrews awful back pass and anelka through on goal but robinson put him off...

WHAT A LET OFF THAT WAS!

Should be 1-0 by all rights.

[Presty On Tour]

Anelka thought he was in his swimming pool!

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Great save Robbo from Anelka's header!

We need to get the ball and calm down a bit. We're all over the place and it's all Chelsea at the moment. We could be 2/3 goals down at the mo.

[emglch]

it will take a lot of luck today to keep a clean sheet.

[Alex Rover]

Blimey this isn't much fun

[DeadlyDirk]

Another good save from Robbo, think it was Mikel's header this time. Certainly looks like he's going to need a good game today, where is the marking?

We've won a corner!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES!!

[Grabbi Graeme]

Saying on Sky that there is standing water starting to appear on the pitch and referee has asked for a weather report.

[Eddie]

Jason Roberts makes horrible runs. MGP has had the ball in decent positions 3 or 4 times so far and Roberts has made idiotic runs that have put an end to the attacks.

[Presty On Tour]

It's all hands to the pump!!!!!

[Tim Southampton Rover]

They are getting so much free space and i'm not liking the fact they are queuing up for a shot on our goal. We're meant to have a defensive formation!

Robbo is keeping us in this game.

Another good save from Lampard.

Oh so Roberts is playing? I thought I missed the start and he got an early red!

Certainly is a lot of water building up on the pitch, lets just hope were not winning if it gets called off!!

[Sysagent]

Oooooh nearly!

[Tim Southampton Rover]

AHHHHHHH so close from King Carlos.

Should have scored but a great save from Petr Cech.

[Eddie]

Fantastic move. Could have scored.

[DeadlyDirk]

Beginning to play decentley now, Olsson has done well.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

Great tackle from Olsson in our area. Timed it perfectly on Kalou.

15mins of rain left according to MET office.

Ref gonna look at it at half time.

[Eddie]

More great control from Roberts. Does he have bricks for feet?

The ball is stopping on the flanks, especially down Blacburn's left.

[Eddie]

Lampard pushes Grella...surprise surprise no booking.

[DeadlyDirk]

More great control from Roberts. Does he have bricks for feet?

I think he polishes his boots with wet cement to be honest.

[Rovers in America]

Lampard = Asshat
