Simon Garner used to smoke and drink when he was a player.... OK, that is probably a lie, but I couldn't resist!

Bob, Back in school (this is about 15 years ago) I had a teacher who wrote/edited for a weekly rock paper in the NYC area. He spent a day telling us about some of the people that he interviewed. He said the nicest person was Rob Halford, the second nicest Dee Snider. He also said that he interviewed Lemmy at about 9 in the morning and Lemmy had a big pile of cocaine he was snorting during the interview, hence the snide comment by me.

I have noticed the amount of cussing on the board rising, including from Mods and Admins (hate to name names, but look at a post by an admin in the Ronaldo to Spurs thread, and look at the subtitle of said thread).

better than all the coke?

Alright, just upped my stadium and still have 250,000 dollars, so pretty happy with my situation. Team still has work to do, but I'll be competitive this season. That added with my winger training to my already good wingers should give me a few good players to sell at the end of the season to finance a good push next season.

READ THIS for the truth about the movie and how it was "creatively edited." You say presented in an interesting way, I say presented in a deceiving way. If you really want decent Michael Moore see if his TV Nation series is available over there. He did one segment where they rented a house and did a bunch of suspicious things that a serial killer might do to see if any of the neighbors noticed. Hillarious.

Your a mod, change the title to Matteo puts pen to paper...

A friend's sister was reading that. She said it was good so far, but would wait to see if it could sustain an entire book. For lovers of hard-boiled detective fiction, I'd recommend Steve Hamilton. He has a new one out which is pretty good (not his best, but even not his best is good). Also would recommend Walter Mosley. Looking forward to reading his new one, which critics are saying is his best yet. If that's the case, then it will be one of the best 3 books I've ever read, as one of his others is currently #3 on my list.

I'd tell you not to blame a newspaper, but to blame the people actually responsible.

Souness also SAID he wasn't going to take the UEFA Cup too seriously last season, but then went out and got Garbaggio mainly for UEFA Cup matches. I don't think he'd get a player on pretty big wages if he expected and wanted to be out after 2 matches. Just a shame he ended up being crap.

Foe dying on their cover. They apologized. Get over it and get on with your life. Don't buy the paper if you still harbor a grudge. It would be the equivalent of me making a huge campaign against Germany for what they did during WWII. It's over, move on.

I still don't get the poor cup thing over the past 3 years. Last year yes, but a cup win and a semi is poor? Are we expected to win them all?

How about (to the tune of some 60s song I JUST FOUND AFTER SEARCHING FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES) Dom Dom Dom Dom Dom, Dom's a beauty, Dom Dom Dom Dom Dom, Dom's a beauty, Dom Dom Dom Dom Dom, Dom's a bueatyyyyyy Doooommmmmm woahwoahwoahwoah.

please tell you are not trying to say that the second best goalscorer of all time in th PL is not as good as Paul Dickov, who most his career has not been good enough to even play in th PL, unless he's got relegated in a single season. I'd guess he's trying to say that if Dickov had the natural talent Cole has he wouldn't be #2 all time, he'd be #1 (or if Cole had the desire Dickov had).

Ha ha! Yeah, that'd go down a storm with Leeds. "We know you're skint, but do you mind if we have him on loan for a season? Whaddya mean 'get knotted'?" to which we respond, "OK, keep him on your wage bill another season."

Either that or he was watching Deco (they are supposed to buy him, right?). He did nothing to impress, especially in the 2nd half.

The great part about this board is that although we don't always agree and some people post lots of drivel (yes, call me the pot), it brings fans from literally all around the world together with a common interest. We might have different theories on how it should be done, but we all want Rovers to succeed.

good news, bad news. I sold out my first home match of the season and made a small profit this week. Bad news is that I lost pretty badly. Have a feeling this guy might win the league this season, as all of his players are 3 stars.

Actually, Barca wanted him back pretty badly. Their season turned around from bottom half of the table to 2nd when he came in on loan in January.

Funny that when Spurs try that they are a joke, yet when Big Sam tries that he's a genius....

Bob, Bob, Bob, Bob.... You know that is imposible. Everyone knows you can only give up to 105%! And we all knew this was an inevitable decision anyhow. If Flitty is true captain material, he will know this is in the best interest of the club and take it as a good thing.

Sky showed 2 games more or less most Saturdays last season. Personally I enjoyed the away games when we could get to the pub for 12 watch a match, then watch the Rovers and then back in to watch another match. It's all personal choice but the facts are that Rovers make more money from being on Sky than they lose from the fans that stay away. I don't think Sky showed 2 Prem games on a saturday hardly at all last season. There were a few Midday kick offs and that was about it. I think there may have been a couple of 5.00 pm kick offs toward the end of the season. They didn't show 2 Prem games on a Saturday often though. There were quite a lot of midday kickoffs. I like those, since I'm an early riser and the wife isn't. A nice 7:30 match without her bothering me is heaven!

OK, started using Mozilla at work. Only one major complaint. I have to use the web to access my work email, and when you download an attachment off of Mozilla, it doesnt' read the entire file name if it has any spaces in it. Other than that (which is a big deal considering how many attachments I get), it works great. LOVE the tabbed browsing.
