quite a harsh chant i thought...especially seen as they were asians...not even from morecambe...good old clever rovers fans

Wondered what all the 'rovers reject' chants were about..

here we go again..... StIlL8BuRnLeY... GK - Friedel (Rovers) D - A Cole (Arsenal) D - J Terry (Chelski) D - Z Knight (Fulham) D - D Wright (Wigan) M - F Lampard (Chelski) M - S W Philips (who knows) M - M G Pedersen (Rovers) M - S Clemence (Birmigham) F - T Henry (Arsenal) © F - S Kuqi (Rovers) S 1 - Reina (Kopites) S 2 - Collins (West Ham) S 3 - Marney (Spurs) S 4 - Zamora (West Ham) IM GONNA WIN THE LEAGUE..COME ON SHEFKI LAD

Quick mention also for Michael Gray who i thought tried hard and had a good game.

Reading those 2 articles this morning has actually set my weekend up! I cant remember the last time ive felt so happy and optimistic before a season. Hughes is saying exactly the right things and i dont see any reason why the team cant match his ambitions.

Best places to start are the beer gardens...about 5000 people sat in the beer garden which serves amazin beer in litre glasses straight out of a wooden keg. And of course Hofbrauhaus beer hall. The litres are about 6 euro 40 cents. These close at about 12 tho ....quoted the wrong quote then..was meant to be quoting Jordan. Stupid Italian computers

il be in Germany for the games. Im in Poland at the moment and this is my 5th country in 10 days, with alot more countrys to see before we play munich. Seen about 6 footy stadiums on my way aswell so far. Has anyone booked hotels for germany? whats the prices like? Think im just gonna book a hostel, hotels would be pure luxury for me right now.

I know what you mean paul, heres plenty of his type about. There was an incident at Norwich away last season which really wound me up, some absolute idiot rovers fan abusing proper rovers fans including one who was about 60 and had his young kid with him. Anyway, the next home game i saw the idiot on the next row to me in the BBE. The next day i was on the phone and i had my transfer completeed and my new Jack walker season ticket card 2 days later. Put me off the BBE for the near future anyway.

Anyone know when the renewal packs are being sent out!? I hate the way we leave it late when every other lcub is sending out applications in march. I leave the country next sunday for 3 months and need to sort it out before i go.

there was also another taxi for Paul Gallagher ranking with his kissing the kappa badge instead of the club badge last season. At the beginning everyone was singin 'OO AHH GALLAGHER' for kevin Gallagher, paul gallagher turned round and gave a big clap to the crowd...then i think he realised...TAXI

Excellent night, Cracking free kick from Gally aswell! Once the kids came on though they were playin like its a cup final trying to impress the fans etc....the championship side hardly got a touch. Tugay...very entertaining. Id be tempted to offer Ripley a contract though to give emerton a run for his money

Im paying on the door and even dragging my mum and sister along for the cause!

great preview

EM-ER-TON!

decided against making the trip, watching it on french tv. My god it is not happy viewing.

anyone know how parking is around the ground? How long are you leaving to travel? I hardly ever drive around that way so unsure how much to allow for rush hour etc

the kid behind me was asleep for the entire first half...result! I usually have to indure 90 mins of seat kicking from the little brat.

I hope you're being sarcastic. Yes after further thought I know you are dont be stupid, matteo was excellent and has been since he came back from injury, typical rovers fans, he has a few bad games when settling in and suddenly hes the scapegoat.

if only, that would make my season. Im goin for 1-1 tho

Cant see hughes goin for that but you never know, could work really well if we have MGP behind the front two, aslong as we got mokoenna protecting the back 4. I remember souness playing the formation with dwight Yorke behind the front two, to be fair, yorke looked really good in that position. Im sure it was against southampton at home last season, cant remember.

Id go for this team... Fridel Neill Nelsen Todd Matteo Mokoenna Emerton Savage Reid Pedersen Stead Subs... Encks Tugay Thompson Amoruso Johnson Assuming dickov is injured (knee injury aparantly) if not id stick him on the bench for jemal

bloody ell, only just realised the city game was was this saturday! that means only 2 trips to ewood left after saturday if you count parkes testinmonial, until august!!!!!!!

i think you will find Amo is a legend at ibrox. He was man of the match in almost every old firm game and won alot of trophys at Rangers. He just loses concentration in smaller games, hes not a bad player tho.

AMO-RUSO! Legend

Dundee UNited are their bogie team, i was at Ibrox in october and they drew 1-1 shockin
