Good points- Rovers fans who sang virtually all the way through, esp the kids at the back. Bentley looked far too good for us. Zurab looked a good defender. Savage kept possesion well. Bad points £32 to get in. Matt Jansen looked erm, quiet. Poor train service back up north. First half.

Boo Hoo! Fulham won this fixture 4-1 last season! Luque off injured! Whaa waa!

Get `em back on, get the ball in the right place and lets batter these @#/? rock breakers once and for all and stop messing around FFS! We flippin` murdered `em all summer so come on and finish the job England. COME ON ENGLAND

Anyone travelling from Chorley, both Sams bar opposite the train station and The Malt n Hops to the rear offer beer. I will be in both from 12 o`clock onwards...

Don`t worry boys. I`m preparing a "George Davis is innocent" situation as we speak if it looks like getting tight for the lads. Just been to B+Q for me spade. I like to call a spade a spade. Unless it`s a shovel. Then I make it drum for M People.

Weather at the Oval this morning is superb. England are one session from losing the Ashes still, despite what the media are saying. Imagine England win the toss, Mcgrath steams in and at lunch England are 75-6. One bad session and we are knackered. The Aussies have the nerve and bottle, not sure England do. Hope I`m wrong as I will be distraught if we dont win the urn this time.

I read in the WEZ thread that there are planned bus replacement services on Sunday twixt Chorley and Horwich, yet National Rail website says nowt? Anyone know otherwise?

I think my link went wrong...

Den, that doesn`t look like the kind of site you should be trawling...btw were you also the one millionth visitor to the site?

Savage is like one of those people who has a massive unfortunate birthmark on their faces. Everyone looks at it, no-one likes it, it wont go away but its just doing what it was made to do. And if it`s on your face, you just have to get on with it.

Having watched the match and the celebrations, and read all the reports and stories, I get the impression that we have actually won the Ashes already. We are one defeat, nay one batting collapse away from losing the Ashes still. Theres a lot of hard yakka left in this series.

whadda mea m we?

England are beter ar cricket hten Sustralissa , they are rubbushd and they niw they are! Waaaaaaaaaaaaa! pound fir oubid it s Ebgwaldn all the wqay!

help me ronf]dae

We had all the quality play last night. As everyone has said, Kuqi is no Lineker in the box is he...but bless him he tries really hard. Swap Kuqi for Bellamy last night and we would have won easily for me. Whatever happened to Robbie Keane? He was captain last night and didn`t touch the ball all match! Top marks for both sets of supporters too-BBE impressed me in the Darwen End, and even the Riverside woke up. Spurs fans were great too, probably 4000 all of whom got behind their team. Another reasonably enjoyable night at Ewood...who`d of thought it!

Aye Tait deffo in for Dizzy, Pidg got a crook elbow. I`m sure he1ll play though... Looking at the weather though I reckon you`ll need the Thorpedoe to field in the covers.

In fact it would make for a very interesting poll-What do you think is the biggest contributing factor in the alarming decrease in our crowds? Overprice tickets? Poor standard of entertainment? Lack of atmosphere these days? Petty stewards? No terracing? Unable to identify with players these days? Price of refreshments?

Add to that Alan that the quality is pretty crud too!

If you ask me, and normally no-one does, I reckon we`ve had it really, in terms of 25 K home crowds. Less and less are interested these days, and there`s little chance of them ever coming back. Take the United game last season, what was it 25,000? 8K of which were United? Its become the game that ate it self to death.

Its like being Nostradamus. Without all the deaths.

I stand by my earlier comments.

sparky hughes ha s obvioiusly been teaching pedo abd tugay how to do a spoedtacular volly fromt 30 yRS. BECAUSE BOTH OF THREM DID ONE YTODAY

Mido, oh whoa whoa oh oh wea ohh. Boz Scaggs

no wyq we wil beat by spufdds, cos we ahve the nafic sign over them. If kuqi plays for rovers theh so can I. and I`m disabled. wat with my t4endency to gwqmder offside. its my lacklm of pace that. get in mey frein d tugay, you ate truky ny turkishgh date. 160000 cant be wring.

sorry about spelling, but Kuqi was first dividsio at best. he really is rubbish. my god Joe craig pisssd up would have been beteer. too goals were absolutly fokin magic and Fulham, well thye were basoltyu sheeit muliliia men. we will nevr see two beetr evoleys at ewood tagian, but they wetee waste ao on fuham. I`m vart happy, we won and we won well,but emerton, kmeezezcgrist, my cat dodo bettere. onwards and upwards, speuds next, and there sheetre.
