Ozz

I remember it well! Sat in the Lower Darwen End, the end which they went in. I say remember it well, I can't actually remember the precise details. I think there was a left footer, a right footer and a header. Could be an omen that Newell is doing the TV on Eurosport UK tonight. Channel 666.

Chelsea have been allocated the lower Darwen End. I suspect that the whole of the Darwen End will be the away end for good from now on.

What a pile of crap that is.

Correction-now moved to Wednesday 25th October, here.

Battle to the death on the night. No replays. Thank god.

24th October Scott. Any other dates you need while I'm on?

It was probably the Manchester accent. Was he also wearing a sheepskin coat?

Could have read `hopping` for a bumper crowd-inspired by the late Roy Castle, the Rovers board and staff are attempting to break the world record of standing hops, with the intention of inspring the stay-a-way Ewood no shows to come down and watch the over paid nancy boys once again fold to an early exit in Europe. The record is currently held by the Middlesbrough board, who managed 332 before their recent EUFA cup semi final which pulled in well over 10,000 smoggies.

I sang Sha-Bani-Nonda to the tune of La Bamba for around 1 hour, intermittently on Saturday night. (As in the bit in the song that goes Ba, Ba Bamba)

Rovers have never won a game in the EUFA cup. We certainly have come close; including the memorable 3-3 in Sofia, after Tommo, Ostenstad and Duffer put us 3 up a couple of years ago. And at Celtic park, in the very net round we totally battered the hoops for 85 minutes, playing the best football of the Souness regime, only to suffer a late Larsson winner. These were only the latest installments of a fairly pathetic run of games in this competition, which started in our title season with a game against Swedish minnows Trelleborgs. A 0-1 home defeat in the first leg, despite once again dominating the game, Rovers were apparently home and hosed in the second leg at 2-1 up until they scored another late equalizer to go through 3-2 on aggregate. Then more heroics in Lyon followed, but again they were ultimately in vain as 2-2 was just enough for the French to progress. Some links here for the matches lost! Trelleborg Lyon CSKA Sofia Home CSKA Sofia Away Celtic Away Amusing jock Banter Genc...Away. Personally, I feel if we go through this tie and into the group stages, with our two match back-to back Premiership wins the season really starts to take some kind of shape and Blackburn look well placed to make it a season to remember.

The Boro fans rather dimsmissive of our travelling army here.

From FMTTM, Boro fanzine. "For the second time in a week an away side has come here and thoroughly deserved their win." "Blackburn beat us 3 times last season and once again they seem to have our measure. This time the constant irritant that is Robbie Savage sapped and snapped the lifeblood from our midfield."

I have now got two results spot on in 6 games. I feel a Grooby coming on. But that could be my weirdo cat. Great header by Help Me Nonda, superb. Happy man tonight!

Three years ago Macarthy and Nonda upfront would have had most of Europe worried. Worries me now! Boro 0 Rovers 1 :-)

Anyone notice Hotmail changed? All day mine has stopped showing the number of unread messages in brackets.

Reading seem to think they wont be having AN Old Gate Debate anytime soon

Here he is! With Beeky, some bird and Ruud Van Nistelrooy.

From the pile labelled NO I HAVEN'T GOT ANYTHING BETTER TO DO!

Oh yea Brazil bears an uncanny likeness to 1864Roverite too. 'cept 1864 drinks more than Brazil.

My bathroom radio only has AM on it now, so listened to TalkSPORT this morning in the bath-was it me or was Alan Brazil quite drunk while doing his `show` today?

Ask Cocker-he loves this stuff My Megadrive is permanantly installed onto my bedroom telly, most weekends when the breadknife is cooking, cleaning, washing ironing I play Sensible Soccer in my pyjamas. Every so often I bang on the floor, which means BRING MORE TEA UP. And PGA Tour Golf, NHLPA Hockey-they're ace too.

He always was a dirty git.

Number nine for City today.... Good in the air?

1864-you are on picture 16 on SAS photos! And Birdy on number 28!
