Half time 0-1 rovers, Fingers crossed we can keep it up.

[frosty]

Half time, good stuff!

[G Somerset Rover]

Alexanders - I told you it would work! Get in Gael.

[rovers1995]

Come on Rovers. Hope Newcastle get beat as well

[yawnsie]

Brilliant finish by Givet - the ball was headed out to him just outside the area, and he hit it sweet enough that it just bent into the bottom corner. He had a similar chance earlier on, when he flashed a half-volley wide.

Rovers have looked pretty solid - Villa haven't created anything. Benjani is battling well up-front, and Phil Jones has gotten forward quite a lot from midfield. Agbonlahor has already gone off for Villa but I'm not sure what for. Looking good for us at half-time though.

Playing some nice stuff! Much much better than at the weekend. Benjani's touch is worse than Roberts' though!

What are you hoping to achieve with this post? There might be some reason, but it just seems that your being a pedant.

True Rovers fan.I got a feel the rovers charity road show will pop up in the second half to give Houllier a good start to his villa career.

Correct spelling is fundamental too.

..when Sam works his half-time magic. Perhaps Williams should pin him into his seat in the stands until the 2nd half kicks off!

[frosty]

Chelsea 1-3 Newcastle!

Oh my God Emerton just missed a sitter. Pedersen shot, Brad saved, it fell to Emerton 2 yards out with the goalie stranded......and he slips and air kicks :-(

[USRoverME]

Have we set out the second half human pyramid in goal formation, then?

[RibbleValleyRover]

Agreed, he should have put it away.

[USRoverME]

ManU running away with it now, pushing it to 4-1.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Villa looking a bit more dangerous.

Yep thought so. 1-1

[Nelsta]

Bugger 1-1 heskey.

[brian_gallagher85]

Oh look it's the 2nd half and we concede...

[Mr. E]

Heskey came on, slowly walked up to our penalty area, got the ball, made some weak half-effort towards our goal, and it creeped it. It's like our entire team got frozen in time for no reason whatsoever.

[USRoverME]

I thought all you Englishmen said that Heskey can't score goals....

[BRFC1995]

Bugger 1-1 heskey.

within a minute of coming off the bench......why do all useless strikers shine against us, getting boring letting leads slip.

[neophox]

Typical Rovers second half madness.

And Big Fat Sam should be in the stands. Bugger.

[Dan]

I knew that horror miss from Emerton was going to haunt us. Other than that chance we've looked awful second half. Someone stop that clown talking to the players at half time please.
