I agree, although I am confident Hughes knows this and will address issues in this transfer window.

I don't think we have the resources to address all the issues we have. You can only get so many really good freebies/cheap buys. Money has to be found to give Hughes the support he deserves.

different type of album altogether apparently, more electronic and classical ??

Sounds interesting. Looking forward to it already

I'm going to the Foo Fighters on the Friday, so shouldn't miss too much of the Euros.

Quite excited about the gig already!

Woke up early to get tickets on the friday and didn't stand a chance. However thought i would check this morning and i got 1 standing ticket for the Saturday gig. Not to bothered about the euros as we aren't there. May sell it on ebay (£80-100) and then buy one at a lower price later. Cost £51 including all the fees.

He shows glimpses of why we love him but they are all to rare for my liking. Needs a Hughes boot up his arse and if it doesn't work then we may have to start looking around unless Peter or Treacy will step up in the near future.

Wonder what the odds are on Sparky getting the job ?

33/1 my son! Thank god they would never appoint a welshman!

Odds are crashing on both O'Neill and Jose. I managed to get 4/1 on Jose but I'm convinced that O'Neill will get it, purely because o the English(UK) thing.

I said it at the start and i say it again. McClaren is not a manager. Maybe the public will appreciate what sven did now.

Get in Jose or O'Neill.

At the moment I am loving the latest Foo Fighters album. Havent really got into their previous albums but the new one is great

The new one is great. So much softer than the older stuff, not that i didn't like that as well. Shame their Radio 1 wembley gig is the same day as the euro 08 kick off, otherwise i would have been there.

MUSE live at Wembley DVD delayed until Jan 2008

Work started on a new album

Quality, i was going to get that as a xmas present for my mum but i guess it will have to wait now.

It will be difficult to top the last album.

Sorry, have I missed something, have we failed to qualify yet or something? Why don't we wait until after the Croatia game and then we can give a verdict on whether he's a failure or not?

England have a good enough crop of players to be able to qualify without having to take it down to the last game needing other results to go in their favour. I personally think we will make it through but i still think that McClaren should go as he has no idea of what team he wants or how he wants them to play.

Let a proper manager have a go and allow him to go back to building a very inconsistent premiership team.

Always thinking with your stomach hey simon!

This could have come a bit sooner but once again Sparky has hit the nail on the head. If it isn't his attitude then he is just off form and other players deserve a chance.

My god, if i had a spare few hundred i would invest in it but sadly i do not.

The guy is pure class. The sunday supplement had a few non rovers bashers on, one even said given another year in the premiership he thought Matt Derbyshire would be pushing for an england call up. I hope so!

An awesome bump of a thread there.

You have to admit the away kit is to good to resist not buying.

I don't think so either. I knocked over 100,000 past derby when i needed about 11,000 to win and i still only won 1-0.

The Cribs are awesome though and The Pigeon Detectives album is decent as well.

Both awesome bands with amazingly good albums.

I wouldn't say it was all samey indie, but then again every older generation says that the current music sounds the same, etc. Maybe i listen to the songs in too much detail but i can tell them all apart instantly . I can see where your coming from though, i think the same about dance tunes, but i still like them.

Improved slightly last night.

2nd place 3points behind man utd in first.

Its the boots I tell thy

Get some old fashioned ones, non of these fancy coloured lot that break rooney's feet all the time

Is it just an individual thing this time?

and yes, I agree, the goals are tiny. Actually, I find a lot less deflect off the defenders. Half the time it seems to got through them. That shows how good I am that I keep getting the defenders in the first place!

It seems to be yes, but i've no doubt they'll think up someway of making us get relegated and harrogate winning the premiership.

The ball does go through the defenders and rarely goes in off them. If the goals are smaller then i must be getting better

Na your just getting worse!

Its back and improved

It pays to draw, rather than lose.

4th place. 68pts. W18, D14, L6

I'm upto stage 22 and my head feels like its going to explode.

22! Speed up!

33 and i can't for the life of me figure it out!

Edit: Completed it! Wohoo! just work backwards from the finish in some levels and it's easy.

Looks like Sensi Soccer!

I'm intrigued as to how the gameplay will work with the wii controller. Throwings make sense but everything else?

I'd guess it's like mario football, where you use the trigger to shoot and the buttons on top of pass, etc. Then shake the controller to tackle.

Who ever was playing on that demo is shocking! They could have picked a bit where someone scored!

Poor Benni, nobody wants him

20 goals this season please Benni!

why do you have to respond to an article with no proof anyway?

Rovers felt they needed to for whatever reason. Rumours like that can be damaging to a players value but probably just a bit of free time 5 live had to fill.

Maybe he got his dates mixed up.

I'm sure if i didn't turn up for work they would be very unstanding if i came up with that excuse

I can't see how this would do his chances of a transfer any good at all. Surely potential buyers don't want a player who will throw tantrums and not show up for training. That can't be a good influence on the other members of the squad either, maybe it is time we cash in and bring back the bellers!

Off to Liverpool in p/e for a certain player??

Now that would be good.

£3-5m + Bellamy for Benni would do nicely!

Not turned up for training yesterday according to Radio 5.

The bloke is an arrogant idiot

At least we can recoup some wages when we fine him! The guy seems to have no respect for club or country, shame, a real shame.
