Thank god for that! Didn't think we'd get a goal today after battering them senseless for 35mins! Kuqi KOOOOOOO!!!

end of bellers game! Come on kuqi!

******$%$£% You did me a favour, instead of paying alot of money in fee and wages for him, i bid for a slightly less talented player(Bertrand Haeldermans) got him on cheap wages and cheap fee, and he got 2 in his first league game

I'm getting used to us outplaying the other teams and getting nothing! Very annoyed that we played quite well and failed to get a goal or a point. But i spose that in the future we will play shocking and get the win. I still feel emerton is the best right winger we have and bentley could have been used instead of moko with savage in the holding role, who didn't have to bad a game yesterday! Goodbye to mr shearer, thank god he cant score against us in the premiership at ewood again. Just 1 more league game and maybe a cup game or 2!

yeah, congrats on beating a team who had been playing for 6 days

i've been in for 6 days now. Getting tips off robborover. Played randall today and lost 2-0 which i am told is good considering!

Maybe you should congratulate glenda on 3 fantastic balls in a row to almost turn the match in the aussies favour! But even considering his bad form this series, he got 2 fifties and have a good average in england colours!

What a day to finish a fantastic series in which the world's two best teams came head to head! Glad i got the afternoon off to watch what has to go down in the memories of all cricket fans as one of the greatest series of all time. After years of dross, to get a team together capable of being the best in the world is fantastic and all credit needs to go to the selectors, coaches, players and county teams. Today i took the a second day off work to watch this decideing match and i am so glad i did, what a game! I have been informed that i will be in attendance for the ashes in aussieland, where england will lay true claim to being the best test side in the world and maybe face warne and mcgrath, two of the best bowlers the world has ever seen, for the final time. Well played to the aussies but even better played to the mighty england.........and Mr Pratt

Pay as you playm so it's not really wasting much if he does eff all and isn't played! Kuqi and bentley were a fantastic pair of subs and we actually looked like we might score after that. Solid at the back and apart from a poor game for mokoena in midfield. Up front we need bellamy back now!

Parkers suspended against us! Dirty team those nukes!

Well he could go to the toilet in hayden's helmet i spose!

Irish! Going through all the years first up is as already said: Kevin Davies, then Carl Cort, Dean Richards and then theres nothing

They still only batted for 105! but as brad hodge outscored hayden, langer, katich, gilchrist maybe it'll give them something to think about! Interesting selection of anderson for the back up bowler for the last test! But i think a good one, i would have thought gough but only because of geoff boycott's opinion on saturday's C&G!

essex should have kept batting and totally wrecked the aussies. Whereas now they have given them a chance to get some batting form and hayden has got a big 100!

Na na na na heeeey goodbyeee! Don't you think that it's the same rules for everybody and if the aussies could take advantage of it they would. Seems that england have some good subs and a clever plan to make use of the laws that exist! We don't want teams playing with 10 men, as in football. As people say it ruins the game! 81-7 effectively! Ooo good 6 by warne! Gileo, has the answer! Stumped! Played Jonesy!!!!

Surely having either MGP or Sav in or around the box would be much more dangerous than having the two of them messing up a good set piece and taking them both out of the goal scoring frame!

Only reason i knew is somebody mentioned it on the offical board! football ground guide

Barracking....followed by rovers falling asleep and letting in! maybe a fact of life but i just think it was a bit stupid for our fans to be distracting our keeper and players whne they should be thinking of much more important things! As the mighty LeChuck says we could have lost very badly and villa had much better chances, 1-0 is a loss we could have avoided but it's only 1-0, better than 3-1!

Only people i could see making a scene where scott slater and his crew The lads stood up just to my right, the invisable crew! good bunch of lads, that were tanked up and all credit to them! If i had been there early enough i would have and sung more, if they removed the no alcohol in the stands rule at some grounds then people might pace there drinks!

Just a quick thing that struck me, what was with the very anit-american barracking of brad for about 2mins leading up to the goal? Not the best thing to be doing to your own players! Yeeha?

Just got back from the two pubs ont eh way back 30min trip took 3 hours I have to say we were very very unlucky, even though my villa mate thinks they defended well and deserved the win! The first half was probally the worse i have seen live and the second half one of the best. With the only clear guilt edged chance falling to kuqi and how he missed i will never know! My Match ratings were: Friedel 9 - fantastic, not to blame for the goal more todd and the midfields fault Reid 8 - great foward runs and defensively ok Todd 7 - Solid Nelsen 9 - second half saved us when we needed it Matteo 7 - why did he get booked, did ok at LB Emerton 8 - good second half great passing Flitcroft 4 - where was he? Tugay 6 - few clangers, good spreading of the ball Savage 7 - not physical but held together the team Pedersen 10 - best player by far deserved to create the goal to draw it! Kuqi 6 - how did he miss? good upfront on his own, needs afit bellers to play with! Gresko - average Jansen - impressive Johnson - damn fast! If the stewards would have let me leave at half time i would have, but the second half was great! Good atmosphere from travelling rovers. Hope we get what we deserve in future!

What a catch by strauss! Aussie's feeling the heat! Some good batting prior to the loss of the first wicket though!

As it's 2 yellows you can't appeal and it's not. Having not got the straight red it was thought it might have been! So we have a right back issue for one game followed by a centre back issue for the 3 games after! See you guys at Vanilla Park in my MGP 12 shirt!

According to Radio Rovers last night he will not be banned, as the suspension takes 7 days to kick in so he would miss the game after! don't know if this is right but i think i remember it being true last season! Hope it is as i want to see a half decent rovers backline on saturday, seeing as its £28

Having listened in the pub on a hand held radio to talk sport, you would have thought lucas neill had done a roy keane on davids. The description of what seemed to be a normal late challange in todays game and worth a yellow, was turned into something that Lucas could have faced a life ban for on talk sport. Not to mention the fact they said we were "kicking lumps out of robinson" which there was no mention from on MOTD. I have to say i was for once very impressed with the fair look from MOTD but disgusted at the totally anti-rovers sentiment shown on the radio. I thought i wouldn't see lucas turn out against villa but now i am relieved to find out i will. Hope he plays well now! Struggling to find a replacement centre back for todd worth the name is mokoena has a bad a time as vs Western Hammers! Wouldn't be against Jay being given a go at CB or LB! Also now looking for a right back for 1 game, could we see a youngster vs bolton or a shift around with a CB playing at RB? either way lucas needs to take a leaf out of savage's book and control himself better when he is on a yellow! and our captain needs to pull his act together quickly!
