No-one likes us, we don`t care. Well I don`t anyway.

All the teams Sparky used to play against didn`t like him, we have got Savage and Dickov playing for us, Lucas has broken more legs than Evil Keneivels bike, Tugay is Turkish, we don`t have any fans, its always cold, blah blah bla.

They can shove it up their arses for me. We are in the Premiership, deal with it.

Good job we didn`t sign Bellamy and Hartson though.

He was mouthing off about how Huckerby is gonna rip Matteo to shreds...

Seven One to Rovers.

Could be distracted by the cup match the following week?

Refusing to eat or purchase Colemans mustard and associated products all week.

And I have killed my Canary.

there's a new cable tv channel here in turkey which broadcasts the cup matches live.

i got in touch and told them the most important game this round is bumley vs blackburn

let's see if i can (alone) persuade a national tv channel to get our game live on cable.

i told that this game can easily be compared to real vs barca or fenerbahce vs galatasaray.

ok, these banana-eaters are no match, but i still would like to see live on tv what is to be our last match for the forthcoming 20 centuries (yes, not years but centuries). of course, if they still exist after so much time...

we shall conqueur!

Top post Orcan, we salute you.

We need all the Dingle/@#/? songs we can muster for next Sunday week.

Post in here please.

Driving round the roundabout at the M61 junction in Chorley today, coming the other way was a Lincoln Aviator. The windows all blacked out, bar the windscreen which was semi see through. Through the window I saw Diouf driving. So I winds the window done, spits in his direction and shouts out " How you like it now Mark Spitz?" .

Made me feel good anyway.

Also, who gets a big massive car, blacks the windows out and then gets a cherised number plate with "DIOUFY" on it????

Incognito my arse.

Can`t wait to see the comments and predictions on the match preview for this one, anyone voluntereed et?

Rover6 we played 4-1-4-1 , but practically it was 2-1-2-1 with Neill Matteo Emerton Thomson not actually playing at all.

Get Emerton off for a few weeks before I get on the pitch and drag him myself, I only want him to provide 2-3 actual dangerous crosses a match but he is incapable of that he is causing me major stress and I feel like hurting him

Morning all...

It's a good question that. That's a very good question. While Dickov has many qualities I don't think we should have 100 Dickovs.

For one, the squad would be far too big. Too many strikers. And all called Dickov. How would Hughes know which one to pick? One of the Dickov's might do something brilliant in training and Hughes would want to pick him for the next match, only for one of the other sneaky Dickov's to take the other Dickov's place. How would Hughes know the difference? I tell you, he wouldn't.

I don't like the sound of 100 Dickov's. No thank you. But I would take a hand full of Dickov's instead of just the one Drogba. So long as the hand full of Dickov's don't mind having their squad number tatooing on their forehead to avoid confusion. They'd have to have different numbers mind or it's still going to be confusing.

Besides it'll never happen anyway now that the transfer window has shut. I blame FIFA.

Chelsea have conceded just 8 league goals this season. Time for them to concede another tonight. Heaven knows how or who. 1 - 1. Let's say MGP for us and Lampard for them.

BOB!

Where have you been?

I have had to play the role of inane rambler on my own all year, and thats not easy. The old 4-5-1 situation. The others have been looking at me funny, and I need someone else to lighten the load.

Ticket prices going to be less than £20?

Thats 2 months wages in Burnley.

There will be no-one there!

John Williams has announced that in the name of hospitality, all Rovers fans are encouraged to present the local population with their speciality:

I thought Rovers fans just kept those for visiting Black players - or at least Yorke

Touche!

Thet ahve to offer us upto 25% of the available tickets. Roughly 5,000?

I shall be taking my seat in the Darwen End, and as the kick off is taken I will be putting my fingers in my ears, closing my eyes and singing"la la la la la do do do do wa wa wa " for the whole match

Makes sense to me, anyone care to join me I`m in seat 82 row 20.

Thanks for the preview RIML.

I remember Noel Brotherstone getting sent off at Ayresome Park, and we where winning 2-0 at the time. As he walked down the tunnel, he got a load of verbals from the smoggies, so he stuck two fingers up at them. Needless to say, he had a trip to Lancaster Gate, along with Bob Saxton. Bobby stuck up for him, at the hearing though, saying he was merely pointing out the scoreline to the home fans.

I predict a similar scenario on Saturday, replacing Brothhead with Savage.

The poor crowd is really a sign of the times. What did we expect?

I was working so could not go, but if I hadn`t been I was wavering, given the recent amount of high price games-Bolton (£28) Cardiff (£24) and Chelsea next week (£28). Sorry, but I couldn`t really have justified it. Esp if I want to go to Boro on Saturday.

When you factor in the ancillary service prices involved in attending a match, the bill becomes ridiculous. Some may say, "well Ozz don`t have five pints before the match", but could you honestly watch Rovers, particulary the Bolton match,anywhere near sober???

Where was Nissa?

Worst episode ever!....

I watched Todd after their first goal went in last night, and he did not say a word to anyone. Just walked back to his spot with his head down, like the rest of the team. When really he should have been pointing out the error of Lucas Neills ways to the full back.

Like I say, get a committee-someone else has voted for it so it can`t be that far fetched.

2 points ;

Firstly, I don't see what Neill could have done, he had to attack the player wuth the ball on the edge of the box, a 1-2 was played around him and he tried to recover and block the shot as quickly as he could.

Just because a goal comes in from the right side doesn't automatically mean Neill was at fault.

Secondly Todd was talking (not shouting) to Neill all the way back to their positions after the goal, I pointed this out to my mate that he was berating him very calmly.

Neill got sucked in, he lost his man and just watched the ball, forgetting that MacAnuff was steaming down the left. Hes done it before. Overall Neill had a game to forget on Wednesday. Great finish from MacAnuff(?) but I also thought Brad could have done better.

RE Todd not speaking, you have better eyesight than me sir, and I only say what I see.

Also, is Savage the Welsh captain?

Cos if he is, that leaves with with 4 current international skippers on the books.(BF, Mokoena, Nelsen)

The title was more to do with the show 'Pop Idol'

Pop Idol, more like,errm, thingy, wassname.

Prompt!!!

Sorry, lovie I`ve completely dried up.

Just give me 10 minutes.

Captain Idol, more like Billy Idol with Todds new haircut.

Captain Idol, a role for Dwight at last.

Those are the only two jokes I can come up with right now, but if I think of any more I`ll let you know.

This is the best match preview I've read in a long time.

Personnally I thought my Pompey preview was better, but I suppose it takes all sorts...

When MGP scored, and it was a very tidy finish, he ran into the BBE, got mobbed by a load of Chavs and kiddies and couldn`t get out!

He wriggled free about a minute later, with chewing gum and fag ends in his hair, missing his Livestrong bracelets and rubbing his neck and shoulder from the `playful paggering` the young scamps had administered to him.

Smiling and saluting the crowd, the PA announced "The third goal for Blackburn Rovers, scored by Morten Gamst Pedersen!"

The crowd went wild.

Had a good game, and I told you he`d score.
