I know I'm living in fantasy land here, but do the winners of the UEFA cup still play the winners of the Champions League in that European Super Cup thing in August? Bring on the Barca.

I should have given up the day I started 10 yrs ago. Too late now! Swindon, Blackpool and Partick - treble One More round EW 3.25 Ling

Nah 3 is the worst one I feel. Mr T just doesnt cut the mustard. As films go the original is probably the best, but for cheesy entertainment Rocky IV is best. My favs to watch in order are:- IV , I , RB , II , III ................................................................. V

This west ham forum thread saying Lucas out for 6 weeks.

Sav is out for the season Where have all the good men gone And where are all the gods? Where's the street-wise Hercules To fight the rising odds? Sorry

So why didnt we sell in the summer if we wanted the money?

Apart from Sherwood, exactly which one of those players did Rovers want to lose at that time. None. But they all left at short notice leaving us having to unexpectedly find replacements. A player screwing a club post Bosman means that he dallys signig a new contract until it runs out so that his club cant get a transfer fee for him and he can command big wages. Lucas gave us 18 months notice. If we wanted to add to our £38million we could have sold him in the summer for much more than £1.5m. By the way, theres only two Lucas Neils !

I agree with everything Tris said. As I posted many times at the time, what Neill did at the end of the Nancy game was purely aimed at the idoits in the back corner of the BBurn End lower and IMO was bang on. Barry Ferguson, Alan Shearer, Craig Bellamy, Crhis Sutton, Tim Sherwood. If only they'd been as open with the club before they left as Lucas Neill was. People forget that one of the worst examples in recent times of how to leave a club was performed by own Robbie Savage.

In all honesty, I expect West Ham to sign another 3 players at least before the end of Jan and would be extremely suprised if they went down. Would be funny though. I doubt the millionaire Icelanders (???) have come in with dreams of Premiership and European glory, and then to just rely on Lucas Neill.

I know there's another long thread burried away in ICBINF somewhere about this, but having seen Snakes on a Plane last night it's so bad it's brilliant. I have not laughed at any film so much for a long time, and that takes some doing keeping in mind it's not meant to be a comedy. Complete cheesy plot, outragous steroetypical characters, pointless swearing and nudity, gory deaths, one-liners galore and loads of snakes. If you like 'bad' movies and aint seen it get it. Let's be honest, you know from the title whether you'll like it or not.

In light of the Ooijer injury I just want to add a bit of praise for Henchoz. When we signed him I thought it was not a good move. He's probably played more this season than Sparky would have wanted. However he has been suprisingly good in camparison to what I thought he would be. Yes he's slow but he still shows with his reading of the game that he's a quality defender who has a habit of getting blocks in when needed. I wouldnt want him to have a long spell in the side as he does get found out at this level with pace now but, credit where credit is due, he's proved to be a valuable squad player. Fair play to Stephane and Sparky.

Best reception a visting player ever got at Ewood surely has to be Miklosko in 95/96

Hughes told Sky that he 'hadnt really thought' whether OOijers injury would affect the deal, then replied 'probably not'.

The last prem place is Adrian Lewis. How dull!

Not very big, which is why sometihng is strange here. I get the feeling Rovers don't want him anymore. Maybe he did fail a medical. Maybe we have someone else lined up.

The six players who have qualified for the PL through ranking points are:- Phil Taylor, Colin Lloyd, Peter Manley, Roland Scholten, Dennis Priestley, Terry Jenkins Barneveld is already confirmed as one wildcard entry with another one up for grabs. Anyone care to speculate who will get the final place. Rumour was that if either of the young Dutch players did well on the BDO tournament (Klaasen or Van Gerwin) they would get the place as a tempter to join the PDC. However as they both bombed at the Lakeside this week this would seem unlikely & unfair. On ranking points next in line is Mardle. I'm sure the PDC chiefs would like Mardle in for the' showbiz' he brings but in all honesty hes done nothing for around 18 months and is dropping down the rankings. On last years TV tournaments I think Andy Hamilton deserves a place. He reached the Semis in the Wolrd Championships (losing to Taylor), semis in the Wrold Matchplay (taylor again) and the Quarter finals in Las Vegas (losing to Barney). He's improved over the last 2 years and, although not as glitzy and colourful as the Mardles, has earned his place more.

I'd like Dunn back but dont want to see us taking a big financial risk on the situation. However, if Dunny really has his heart set on Ewood as much as a lot of people think, and Rovers have made it clear to him that they want him, why doesnt he wait until summer and come for free. Can he not sign a pre-contract contract now with us or whatever they're called? Why make a move that he might regret, that deep down he doesnt want for the sake of 5 months. I know a footballers career is short and after his injuries he wants to play as much as he can, but IMO somethings is amiss here.

I'll be honest I've not seen a lot of the lad, only his home appearances so far this season and brief highlights. However in what I have seen so far he reminds me a bit of Andy Cole in the way in which he seems to pull into the correct space. He might miss chances but he seems to be able to get into the positions which is half of the battle. He made the right run for his chance at the end of the Boro game and I'm guessing that he put himself in the right position to knock in todays goal. There are a number of strikers who look good but never seem to get the chances. I'd rather have someone who might miss a couple (not that he's shown hes a bad finisher!) but keeps getting the chances and coming back for more. Well done on your 'debut' goal Matty.

Fair enough. I would say that I also wouldnt have him as captain as we'll need a new one soon enough and whoever it may be may as well get used to the job now. However its no good booing Neill as its not his fault, it's the managers.

If thats what you want to believe. You think if Arsenal or Man U had wanted Bellamy and had come in for him he would have turned them down?? If Shearer had no intention of going anywhere else bar Newcastle then why have talks with Man U in 1996? I'm not saying boo any of them. It's just Lucas is the most innocent of the 3 IMO

People do let their love of Rovers dominate over rational thinking. People were even questioning why Bellamy wanted to leave us for Liverpool. I'm sure Craig is sat at home now contemplating the Champions League knockout game at the Nou Camp thinking "....if only I'd stopped at Ewood" The cry in the summer though was that Bellamy didnt let the club know what he was doing till too late, and lied to the fans about his get-out clause. Players want to spend their careers playing in the biggest games possible. At 28, Neill now sees this iast the best chance he'll have of going to a genuine 'big' club (i.e not Tottenham or Brum). Perfectly logical thinking by the man and yet he gets booed for it? I wonder how many of these people who now boo Neill are ones who moaned at the treatment dished out to Alan Shearer, who was far less open about his departure?

Enjoyed last night but felt it was good rather than great, mainly due to our seating location. We were sat back in the top tier looking side on at the stage. You could see the band on the stage but not see any of the set or of the backdrops. It was like they were playing on a stage surrounded by wires and rigging. Lack of atmosphere that high up also. On a plus point, musically they were superb as to be expected. Took a couple of songs to get the balance on the vocals right but this was soon sorted and the new album sounded really good live as did the classics including thankfully the eternally awesome Hallowed Be Thy name. Quite a few people who didnt know the set list grumbled at the decision to play the entire album. If, as rumoured, they do return soon playing their mid 80's stuff (Powerlave through to 7th Son) I'll definately see them again, just in the lower tier and a bit further round next time.

Maiden tommorow (thursday) night at the MEN for me. Cant wait.I'm not overly bothered about the playing of the whole album as since I last commented on it more or less all the tracks have grown on me (except Different World and The Pilgrim.)
