When we beat City on Saturday, it will put as 2 points behind them with a game extra to play. I am looking up the table not down now, for the first time since, erm, 5-1 over Wolves!! Rovers to beat another shower at Ewodd 3-0 again. Rovers to be last on MOTD at approx 3.14 am on Sunday morning, for 8.4 seconds. Crowd to be exactly 23,339. Nostradamus in the house...

If you have ever seen Mrs Dahlin then you would guess his back would give him some jip sooner or later.

Its like being Nostradamus.

If you think the turn out for the semi was poor, wait till you see the gate for this match.

I seen him! He was singin `Liverpool, Liverpool, Liverpool" I told Liverpool weren`t playing today, and after a brief pause, he continued "Liverpool, Liverpool, Liverpool..."

Talking of Roberts gobbing off, Souness has said that he will put that to one side for the good of the club and play him on Sunday. Just like he did with all the Rovers players he fell out with...

The weekend started last night, so setting off in an hour with a bad heed! All lucky clothing items are packed, including boxers that now resemble the Turin Shroud they are so old, and emergency Holsten in my travel case. For once in my life, let me get what I want, Lord knows it would be the first time... See you in Cardiff boyos!!!!!!

Anyone else staying in the DeVere Village Hotel, near the M4 on Friday Night?

Last time, before the Worthy Final, I got surprisingly pished and ended up in a club, a gay club somewhere near the prison. It was down some steps, amd was as though it was in the cellar of some old victorian townhouse. Does anyone recognise this description, or did I dream it. I would like to revisit it this Friday.

So Williams got it wrong??? Pessimist, should be delighted with 16,500!

As I left for work this morning, I heard on Talksport that Paul was to be interviewed by Alan Brazil, but missed it . Did it happen and what did he say, Paul and Brazil, about the semi?

Thats all I am likely to have left come Saturday night, all being well.

Mr Johnson is a good album, but sometimes feel hes not giving it 100% though... Hot Tomallies is a stand out for me.

We then signed Quinn after this game.

Technically, most of the Rovers players pre 1991 could be included in the Worst players ever compared to modern footballers. But my vote goes to Kevin Stonehouse. The ginger get.

The nuclear sox don`t appear to have affected your creativite writing skilss young man. It`s the preview we all wish we`d written. Going down expecting to get beat, anything else is a bonus. Hope we sell 20,000 tickets just to show the team we do want success. Rovers, apart from play-offs, have a good recent record of winning big games-Full Members, Play Off Final v Leicester, Worthy Final so you never know... Just imagine if we beat Arsenal and you didn`t go because you couldn`t be arsed... Can`t wait for Friday me!

Got my ticket, booked my hotel room for Friday night, got my lift sorted out. Two weeks today, the weekend begins, infact this time two weeks from now I`ll be somewhere near Birmingham M5/M6 junction. And boy am I looking forward to it. Thats one of things about following football, sooner or later the big match comes along and the exitement, build up and the sheer fact of having something to look forward to these days in life makes it nearly all worth while! Football is a hobby of mine, and I intend to enjoy it.

I wonder where the replay would be played, should there be the need for one.

This may be a stupid question or two but 1. Was there ever a definitive reason for him leaving, apart from "err I dont like playing in the Reebok" 2. How much did we get back for him.

Nearly a week after going on open sale and not sold 1800 odd tickets. My we are spoiled these days, I remember not too long ago (8 years) we could have sold 3-4K for this trip.

Didn`t know C3PO was Welsh?

There are 2. Giggs and.... Jason Dodd at Southampton.

Doesn`t look too good calling this thread Scum Preview. Please can we change it to avoid embaresment .

Having seen the prices I am now convinced we won`t sell 30,000 tickets. In fact I don`t think we would sell 30,000 even if it was at Villa Park on Saturday 3.00pm kick off. I reckon we`ll shift 15-20,000 tops. "We anticipate that the number of tickets available is likely to meet the demand from Blackburn Rovers supporters" The official line from the club...

For all the talk of Arsenal diving, ref bias, Dickovs petulance, etc if Emerton or more over Reid had done the business RE sticking the ball in the net we would have got a 1-1 draw. Enough talk.
