I feel so sorry for the man....... are his backroom staff going aswell!

This is a man that won't speak to the bbc. Has no common sense, hopefully the media will rip him to shreds for his pathetic and totally unjust comments. He's just pi$$ed that we took them for 6 points! Enjoy the carling cup final fergie, runners up in that must feel good and be a great season for you!

YES! get the **** in! Bentley is god! Worth every penny League Double woooo

Well they have a new striker to help them in there bid to stay up.... DJ Campbell Better stick with Heskey

I think it's not a month's notice, but they have him for febuary and then from 1st march onwards we can recall him instantly. Thats how i read it anyway.

Not totally sure on the rules but normally they have to be registered at noon on the day before the match, so any signing wouldn't be able to play. But it may be different for midweek games, as they ahve later kick offs!

That would make a fantastic change. We could even wear it in the last home game, as we aren't changing any sponsors this year....

Said this a couple of years back and got slated for it. I don't know what rovers do to players in training but players come into the club able to take them and give it 4 months and thats it. MGP has been a bit hit or miss lately, he needs to practice more. Without the penalty we may have not let in as many as we did, but still an awful defensive display that shows zurab may not be up to it, or he's just tired. Either way nelsen has to be back for wednesday as should gally/new striker!

As hughes said we were looking for a striker before the dickov injury. So you would hope that 1 was done and 2 would be a known figure. Therefore once we had the news of dickov 2 and 3 come into effect, with the increased need and urgency. With then bellers backing down again, even if a deal for someone couldn't have been done for manyoo, it should have been for today! 28 days in to the transfer window and nothing of substance! Give Hughes the money!

Do we actually have a defence? Zurab, Gray, Tugs, Moko. The rovers of old making mistakes that cost us goals and ultimately matches and money!

doom and gloom. Rovers have nothing up front and have a massive problem in defense at the moment. Main problem is zurab, positive subs from hughesy but it's too little, too late. We should have signed/recalled a striker to face manyoo: we lost Same pattern occuring here! Spend money, get results! .....lol Lucas scores get in! Come on!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get Nelsen on now! This is awful, it's all West Ham.

Zurab is becoming a problem! Doesn't matter if it is dodgy or not he keeps getting these decisions given against him. Rovers aren't playing well, with the exception of reid. Needed a kick up the a**e and now they have it! Come on rovers

Well she can have one less thing to worry about when reading knock them out today. edit: Alex Bruce makes his first start for them today. With major defensive problems

It's not an easy decision on the away shirt. I like the look of 2, but the badge is just in the wrong place and we are due a red away shirt. Home shirt 2 for me, texted in my vote for HS2 and AS3. But 2 would look good with the badges in the proper place.

An even stronger case for a striker asap. Kuqi was pathetic, Bentley didn't do much better until kuqi came off. Gray was ok at points and the worst passer in the world in others. Tugay was playing very well until he stopped to think about the bus home and got robbed. On the plus side the brad of old was in goal tonight, 2 stunning saves plus a great pen save. Gutted to be out, just hope we win at upton park, but without another striker it's difficult to know who is going to finish the good build up play.

What a waste of time that interview was! I think Hughes should play the wigan players comments about wanting Man Utd in the final to motivate the lads even more.

They say that you get a bit of good luck when your up there and bad luck when your on the way down. So having had bad luck for the past couple of years, the hand of ped is something we deserve. Bye Bye Souness!

I remember thinking that about us when gally scored his first goal for us against brum. But after that nothing much happened and we just got out towards the end of the season. I hope this isn't to big a pick me up for brum, but they know they have it in them now. Need a few more injuries i think

subject to further better signings, i think that just about nails the coffin for portsmouth! They should have been about even and they pulled them to pieces. Brum hopefully get thrashed by arsenal and pool to send em into a misery spiral but things are looking up for Bruce. Not that he deserves it!

Come on. Not the best second half but 3 points well earned. Dunn scores for brum who beat pompey 5-0!

Yep and Thommo's goal was a header...... Not happy with the way the game is going so far, we are getting done on the break, good job newcastle haven't got all there injured players! Dickov should have scored a couple, but when htey have the best keeper in the league what can you do! Need to tighten things up and finish the next chance we get. Maybe give peter the last 10 mins if its still 0-0.

Well in what must be the all important game for either pompey or brum to stay up, Brum have got a 2 goal advantage! Chelsick and Tag boy with the goals! Very dissapointing, hoping for 2-2!

Walcott wasn't on that video, so Grabbi is 1-0 up there! and i'd guess Souness has seen Walcott play so thats 1-1! Hefty Price tag, alot to live up to! If Henry stays he will do better than if he goes to spain in the summer. Southampton should be over the moon at the wadge of money they are getting for him, even if he turns out to be a wonderboy!

The kid's been in the media mainly due to his pace. Looking at his stats they are on apar with grabbi! Stats 5 goals in 22 games, hardly world beating for a first division striker! But who knows, if he stays injury free and keeps his pace £12mil maybe a bargain.
