In the report in the Daily Mail I think, it goes on to mention the guy who was convicted of racist behaviour against Yorke a couple of years ago, for absolutely no reason what-so-ever. As if to say "Well Benni, your own fans are racist too so stop doing well for them"

I was just surprised at the use of Cold War-style stereotypes of eastern Europe.

Are you being serious?

My feelings are a draw, and I reckon there be goals in them thar, errr players. 2 Offensive strikes a piece, IE 2-2

On ringing the ticket office this afternoon for clarification on Rotterdam I was on hold and the automatic voice that tells you where you are in the queue said "Forteenth"-14th in the queue ! Suspect they might want Bolton tickets eh?

All ticket info for the Feyenoord match appears to have been removed from the official site today, seems a little odd... Rovers Co UK

Indeed 1864-moreover a good number (myself included) are booked on the Wednesday night ferry from Hull. I checked on train fares from here to Hull and back, £42.00! Considering my whole accomodation and ferry bill is only £100 thats a bit of a choker. There must surely be enough Rovers fans needing to get on that ferry to warrant organising a taxi/mini bus/coach to reduce the cost down? Who on here would be keen on this?

Wot no Bolton preview Den?

Very good!

How should I prepare? Can I put a paper bag over my head?

Bizarrely, I'm pretty sure I heard a drummer banging the daylights out of his, erm, drum at Old Trafford last night. Dark days indeed.

It would be more than we took 30 miles down the road on Saturday.

Portsmouth away midweek is a bit of ball ache, as is Cambridge, esp when it gets abandoned. Driving to Cambridge is like being on the road to nowhere, just a straight road with the occasional roundabout that leads to, erm, nowhere. Well, Cambridge, obviously.

General consensus of the allocation of 2,500? Too many, or under subscribed?

For singing racists songs.

Anyone going on the train be aware that there is a bus replacement from Euxton to Wigan. Anyone going from Chorley on the train, get a bus to Wigan first. Or indeed, we could get a taxi together and save time and costs. (Two of us going already from Chorley).

Have you considered selenium and zinc supplements? From www.rovers.co.uk Ryan first sustained the injury in a league game with Everton at Ewood Park last December and despite playing a key role throughout the rest of the campaign, was unable to fully shake it off. The Kiwi defender then broke his leg away at Charlton in late April, but returned for pre-season fully rested and with a positive scan result to boot. But as the new season approached, Ryan admits that he perhaps didn't really give it sufficient time to heal and before long, his initially-torn hamstring attachment had become completely ripped from the bone. full story on the official site. Sorry guys, unless Lee says it's fine to cut and paste full articles, we can't do it.

Really good article on the official site on Ryans operation and recovery. Quite graphic in his description of the procedure too. Looks a bit a grim for a xmas return though. Rovers Co UK

Nope-not whenever I have been, (last 5 years)

On the basis of this glowing reference, we are booked in this hotel on Thursday night. And sadly I am also on the Wednesday night ferry from Hull, so could you please keep the noise down after we set off as I will be tired and emotional by 10.

I used to be quite keen on watching Englands matches, couldn't be bothered now.

On one hand, I cannot see how Emerton and Neill can play on Saturday at Anfield after a 238 hour flight back from Australia, having just come out of the showers following the match. On the other, slightly prettier hand, I cannot see who else we can realistically play at full backs without us getting bashed up by Liverpool. Mickey `One Punch` Gray is out of favour, Matteo is out of skill and the rest are just kids. And kids win you nothing. Except the one who offered to get my 8 nudges on the bandit if I gave him some of my Cider.

Needs to play for North Korea to do that Dave.

My Score Prediction is 1-1. We should have a prediction league or summat.
