According to Lee, rovers are "resplendant in their new home kit". I didn't know we were getting a new kit.

Rovers world.

How about: Mark Atkins Chris Price Colin Hendry David Speedie Noel Brotherston Simon Garner Killer Keeley Duncan Mckenzie Shearer Kevin Gallacher Brad Friedel Clayton, R Douglas, B Roger Jones Derek Fazackerley

rovers team V Stockport: Enckelman, Neill, Amoruso, Johansson, Gray, Emerton, Matteo, Ferguson, Gresko, Stead, Yorke. Subs: Yelldell, Gallagher, Dickov, Tugay, Reid. Stockport: Cutler, Geary, Adam, Mair, Williams, Adams, Cartwright, Feeney, Beckett, Lambert, Bridge-Wilkinson.

We are only allowed 15 options on a poll, Bob. A quick scan is needed for the 15 contenders.

Hierro I mean, not big fat Sam.

He's 36 isn't he?

Graeme Souness has a reputation of being a nightmare to work with and most football fans recognise the fact that he is a complete and utter tit. Thought this would give the anti Souey brigade a bit of a lift.

Can't for the life of me see thomo making a central midfielder. Away from home especially, a C.M'r has to be able to drop back and give the back four good cover. Some games he will have to do little else. Can't see him being able to do that. tracking back and tackling, just isn't in his vocabulary. Also remember him playing the C.M. role once or twice. He didn't impress me. On top of that, you need to be an excellent, passer of the ball, with vision. He aint that either. What Thomo is all about is running with the ball and trying to put people under pressure.

No penalties in 38 league games and then we get 5 in 5 mins. What a crazy game. My team: Friedal Lucas Mickey G Amo Dom M Bretty baby Fergs Flitty OOh AAh D.P. Steady on A Trialist

Thanks guys. Behave yourselves.

Game has ended 0-0, pens in five minutes

0-0 half time. No red cards but plenty of yellows.

Why don't we just go over to the official site and watch it there. Alan's knackered running in between, it's about a mile and a half each way.

That's a lot worse than ordinary double pneumonia.

T'internet - marvellous! Lee down the blower to his mates. Magic.

As posted in the "it's that time again" thread - Official site 5:30 UK time.

De Pedro should play tonight. It's a four team tournament, 25 mins each way. Official site

Various news sources are reporting that Andy Cole has left Blackburn Rovers. He has signed a two year contract with the London club. Supporters will be eager to know if the club will use the reduction of the wage bill to supplement the squad even further. Keep up to date with the supporters views on the sale of Andy Cole, amongst other topics, on BRFCS.com Click here for the messageboard?

With a forward line of Gallagher and Stead, we will be relegated.

Fergie had the money to replace Cole, apart from the £7m we gave them. That wasn't as much of a risk as rovers letting him go for free and having Dickov as a replacement, Dave. If we can find money to bring in a quality, experienced striker before the transfer deadline, then fair enough. We will see.

What a slant that is. By not revealing his name, rovers are getting blamed for his name being released.

That's a very good post from you, Mr Fleming.

You can't do that! What are you, a riversider?
