So Arsenal qualify for the semies, that will give them a pretty hard run in:

April

9 A Manchester Utd

12 A Portsmouth

15 H W.B.A.

19 H Villareal

22 H Tottenham Hotspur

25 A Villareal

May

1 A Sunderland

4 A Manchester City

7 H Wigan Athletic

17 N CL Final

I do not believe that they can play their best team and keeping their current form with this shedule. Just look at how many games they will play a week!

They have 6 games in 16 days, thats less than an average of 3days between each game! Points will be dropped here..

Am I the only person that felt that Lucas Neill was a bloody defensive liability last night??

Nope, Neill was among the worst players out there. Never seen him so bad before to be honest...

A Liverpool

H Chelsea

A WBA

H Charlton

A Tottenham

H Birmingham

No way will Bolton get many points from these lats six games. We SHOULD get that 6th spot now!

Arsenal vs Man United

396387[/snapback]

The game is at Old Trafford.

As for the Pompey game, we will win!

Pompey 1

Rovers 4

I don't think it's Paul Scholes - It's Nicky Butt

396353[/snapback]

yep, youre right

Is it complete?

Nicky Butt

so that's 8:

Ian Pearce

Alan Shearer

Ryan Giggs

Gary Speed

Roy Keane

David James

Ugo Ehiogu

Nicky Butt

now, the last two must be:

Sol Campbell

Ray Parlour

We still have a chance at 4th, but I feel all the recent media talk has put to much pressure on our players. We dont have any players who are used to fight for a CL spot, and it might just show to be a bit much for most of them..

1. Why no Emerton ? Despite it being a derby match the right wing was where everything was coming from.

2. Why bother with Dickov ? A totally inept performance.

3. Despite his goal, Kuqio will never be a premiership player so again why bother ?

4. How bad did the midfield get in the first 20 minutes on the second half ?

5. Why cant Emerton take a leaf out of Reidy's book and learn just how to cross a ball ?

6. How can a donkey such as Kavanagh, outrun and out muscle the midfield of Tugay and Savage ?

396164[/snapback]

1. Agree, but we should have started with Reid on the right and Sav and Tugay in the centre. Bentley has had one brilliant game for us, the rest has been pretty poor.

2. Hughes wanted fighters out there today, but no-one showed up really. Hope Pongoll is ready for the Pompey game.

3. Kuqi is pure rubbish, hopefully we can get £500k for him in the summer

4. It was shocking!

5. Didnt see that many great crosses to be honest, maybe because there was noone in the box?

6. No idea

We just wasnt up to it today, but to get a point on such a rubbish day, worst performance of the season?, is very pleasing.

Never been so happy with a point at Ewood since the Liverpool game that ended 2-2 with Grabbi scoring a few years ago.

Nelsen and Friedel was good today. Bellamy was decent. Neill, Bentley, MGP and Dickov was very very weak.

A shame Bellamy didnt score at end, how sweet that would be..

Hmmm...... Is Bentley playing right or in the centre in this? I guess out right after his poor performance against Villa. Anyone know?

396109[/snapback]

Should be wide right, would be crazy to put him in the centre with Reid and Savage playing really well lately..

ROVERS: Friedel, Neill, Khizanishvili, Nelsen ©, Gray, Bentley, Reid, Savage, Pedersen, Bellamy, Dickov.

Subs: Enckelman, Kuqi, Mokoena, Tugay, Sinama-Pongolle.

WIGAN: Filan, Chimbonda, Johansson, McCullock, Kavanagh, De Zeeuw ©, Scharner, Teale, Bullard, Baines, Roberts.

Subs: Pollitt, Jackson, Connolly, Ziegler, Thompson.

We should win this one, COME ON ROVERS!

Four home games left this season, Wigan, Liverpool, Chelsea & Man City...how many are going to be televised?

395858[/snapback]

As far as I know they all will, on Canal+ that is.

Hi All,

Been following this site daily since it's inception but always been happy just reading the posts...

Anyway, I found this Excel downoad from a Spurs supporting business site... It's a pretty cool points predictor for 4th place. http://www.appraisall.co.uk/index_files/Football.htm

395554[/snapback]

Just did it, my results:

4th Arsenal 69p

5th Blackburn 65p

6th Tottenham 64p

7th Bolton 63p

Ive been positive towards Rovers in this one, but still we wont finish 4th. I will be very happy with a top 6 finish this season!

penalty newcastle

2-1 YEES

1-1 spurs, their first chance

Newcastle should have had a penalty!!

Watching the game, very good that King is out, that Garner aint much of a defender..

We've got to cock up some time - 1-2 Wigan

394444[/snapback]

You always represent an extreme pessimism regarding our upcoming games. Have you ever predicted us to win a football match??

Hope arsenal go to the semies, much better to watch than boring Juve. Also they will play more games which could affect their PL form.

Arsenal 2-0 up and are playing some brilliant stuff today. If they keep it up they will finish 4th

That guy on BBC who sits next to Gary Linaker, dont know his name though.

Nice read on the final four...

394304[/snapback]

Wigan 3 

Portsmouth 1 

Liverpool 3 

Birmingham 1 

Charlton 3 

Manchester City 3   

Chelsea 0

I would be very happy if we can get 14p from the last 7 games.

Where it's also £24 for Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool games.

Have you actually sat in that area?

Nope, but I've been to alot of stadiums in my life, and generally sitting way out in a corner aint a good place to be seated.
