FA to investigate spitting claim. David Sommeil being accused of spitting at Tugay.

Excellent report Blueblood. City WERE shocking and that was pretty much their strongest side. I went on a City supporters coach and I can't quite work out whether they realise how much trouble they're in. A big close season for City, they need to arrest the slide. Only two teams have picked up less points this year - West Brom and Sunderland. By all accounts, they have no money to spend. As for rovers, they won at ease with a side devoid of Nelsen, Todd, Pedersen, Bellamy, Reid and Pongo. Having said all that, the thing that I liked most, was that after quite a few seasons, at the final whistle, at the final game, the crowd were buzzing. It's a long time since that happened and is a great reflection of the positive messages sent out from Ewood. From JW, MH and everyone at the club. Well done everybody!

Den?

Under McLaren, 'Boro have been for years the most boring, negative team in the Prem. One forward, pack the midfield and hope to catch teams on the break - and this at home games - and after spending £54m. The ONLY reason for appointing him, is the lack of anyone else competing for the post.

Dillo, what's that mean?

Dillo - how about some pictures from your home town? That would be really interesting.

Reid it and weep Jose! Daily Mirror. "Chelsea boss Mourinho - who called Rovers a "pub team" after a bruising encounter at Ewood Park last season - later grumbled about the nature of the victory, complaining that his side should have been awarded at least three penalties. As usual his mean-spirited message was wide of the mark."

Fabulous - and the last small town, big club to do that was?

Just for bragging rights - how many times have rovers qualified for Europe? 4 or 5 maybe?

Sven: Rooney has more than one broken bone and it would take a miracle for him to play any part.

He'll be freezing in New Zealand. It's winter isn't it?

Nelsen has a hairline fracture of the Fibia [or Tibia, not sure which. Anyway, one of the leg bones.]

Alex Ferguson says he doubts Rooney will play any part in the world cup.

He pulled out of the running after 20 reporters camped outside his house over night. He said he didn't need those pressures.

I thought Stiles was trying to enter into dialogue with all the players. Unfortunately, when they said something they didn't like, he seemed to take a personal objection to them, and booked 'em.

Resigns from end of the season. England job?

Curbishley resigned!

Friedel Neill Kishi Nelsen Gray reid savage tugay pedersen pongo bellamy Damn you Krislu.

Out of world cup?

Pretty good summing up of Man City and their fans views on the season. Thanks 1864. Coming to the Talbot for the buffet?

May I be the first one to say that if he couldn't cope with a couple of dozen reporters camped outside his door, then it's a good job he's turned it down. He wouldn't have lasted.

and that should blow a great big hole in the theory that Todd should be disciplined/sacked/sold because of his behaviour at Brum.

Dave Wagstaffe, Mike Harrison.

None of that says we're burned out. Nor did I say that the players aren't tired. I've no doubt all players at all clubs are tired. All I'm saying is that the reason for the dip in results is nothing to do with burn out, it's to do with form, and form isn't that bad.

Forgot all about her, so no I didn't see her. I'll tell you what though, St Andrews isn't a patch on Ewood. Got a glimpse of the boardroom and it's not in the same class as the oak panelled boardroom at Ewood. Small club, small mentality.
