  1. A footballing legend and total gentleman. A great loss to the game. RIP Sir Bobby
  2. fiesta from iniesta makes it messi for united
  3. Just seen this, the drummer has decided to retire as he's now got arthritis. http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport...overs_drummer_/
  4. The interviewer was speaking decent English, so why on earth would McClown speak like he does in that. He's obviously aclimatised well!!!!
  5. So hopefully we'll see Morten MkI again!
  6. Seen a few films recently: The Dark Knight - loved it, good performances all round, although Bale's Batman could do with a lozenge. Wall-E - one of Pixar's best IMO Get Smart - Was expecting the inept superspy scenario but was pleasantly surprised with it, plus Anne Hathaway gorgeous as ever! Wanted - Pretty good, a bit far fetched at times and seemed to skip through the story in some bits, but considering it was based on a comic book not bad. Hellboy 2 - Not bad enjoyed it, definitely Guillermo Del Toro at his stylish best with some of the creature designs etc. The Love Guru - a big pile of steaming poo! If Myers is heading down in this direction with Austin Powers 4 then he should stick to voicing animation flicks. Looking forward to seeing Watchmen after seeing the trailer, hopefully it lives up to the book. Also looking forward to Star Wars: Clone Wars. I always thought that Harley Quinn was the Joker's sidekick. Obviously they can't do that now, hoping that Nolan & co go for the Batman hattrick of quality films!
  7. Nah, a bit of both would do. Look at how Newcastle and the Spuds ###### money up the wall, but they don't even get close to winning the league. A bit (or a lot these days) of money and quality management together will bring dividends, it worked in 95 , I don't see why it won't work again. Of course if say, any of the so-called 'big 4' were implode off the pitch, that would be very helpful too
  8. Plus a bit of SSN this morning about Friedel's Academy in the US, including a word from Fazackerly, now Academy coach, so it said. Now, if we can link Friedel's academy with Rovers . . . Link: http://www.skysports.com/video/0,20285,12602_3730362,00.html
  9. Saw 'Kung Fu Panda' last night. Pretty good. Very good CGI and voice acting from the likes of Jack Black, Dustin Hoffman, Angelina Jolie, Ian McShane etc. A bit heavy handed on the slo-mo for comedic effect during the fights. But overall funny and worth watching.
  10. Ol' Frank probably had someone hostage to force them to lie like that
  11. After the initial hit of losing Hughes, it's that day-after-the-night-before type feeling. We mourn (and/or whinge ) then we move on.
  12. To me it looks like Hughes two management jobs are parallel. With Wales he did very well with the talent he had but by the end of his tenure he had apparently run out of steam and ideas and the team were playing a bit flat and one dimensional. At Rovers, again he's done well with what talent was at his disposal, bringing in some quality players as well. But as at Wales, he's seemed to run out of ideas towards the end and things weren't the same. At least he would leave Rovers in pretty good shape as opposed to when he came in, plus we should get some compo to boot. Hoping JW is methodical with his next choice of team management and doesn't rush and appoints just anyone. We can build on what we have and maybe gives us a chance to totally revamp things from the first team all the way through to the Academy, given getting the right manager with the right team with the right ideal. As cliched as it sounds, but it's going to be a new chapter in Rovers' history and one that was seemingly needed after this season spluttered to a finish.
  13. Shia LeBeouf's character would be the lead if it were to happen apparently, and no Indy himself, according to Lucas.
  14. Thanks to official text from Rovers, it's time to go on Suicide watch, as they've confirmed City's approach!
  15. That's probably the usual view from the outside looking in from people not previously connected with Newcastle, Allardyce and the rest likely had the same view. Then when they get into the job and then see what it's like from inside the bubble their view seems to change.
  16. Wasn't impressed with Indy, thought there was too much CGI and it didn't feel like an Indy film. Watchable yes, but glad it didn't use George Lucas' original 'Indiana Jones and the saucer men from Mars' title and the battle between the aliens and the US Army. Sometimes Lucas should be told to stay away from the Film studios. They should've just stuck with the three films. Still, roll on The Dark Knight in July!
  17. Don't really see Big Club reaching the heady heights of where Everton are, for a long time, if ever.
  18. Never know though, if/when RFW leaves the old trafford hotseat, things might take a turn for the worst if the next manager doesn't come up to scratch (Queiros perhaps?). I'm sure that's at the back of the minds of the United board. Although with the squad, as it is at the moment anyway, it's hard to see that happening just yet.
  19. Can also go to www.keepvid.com and paste in the link from Youtube and you'll get the link to download either flv or mp4 files.
  20. Best ad since the Cadbury's Gorilla, well I think so http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=e2aRDacKANs
  21. I just wouldn't have him back as his performances at the Whammers haven't been that good, gives away too many free kicks and is a liability, I'm sure we can do better. I'd rather we have Berner
  22. Read somewhere that there are plans for a second Anchorman film.
  23. Souness did a good job for Rovers for the majority of his time here. Brought in some good players like Friedel, Tugay, MGP, Cole etc as well as our current boss too (which makes me believe that if he hadn't have brought him in, would he be our current boss?) and got us out of the Championship and back into the Premier, winning the Worthy Cup and into Europe twice. Granted it kind of fell away at the end, with 'disagreements' with certain players which probably led to the series of results that got him close to being sacked, before the ol'Barcodes decided to be generous and take him off our hands. The main gripe I've got with Souey though was his constant negative attitude, Lady Luck, 'weeing with the willie we've got' and all that, a definite stark contrast from Hughes. Hughes, has done very well with his first club management gig, keeping us up, and qualifying for Europe, plus not forgetting the cup runs, the up til now transfer gems he keeps signing, as well as building a club with stability with ambitions to, dare I say it, continually punch above what is supposed to be our level. Most clubs that play the Rovers know that they'll not come expecting an easy game but to be pushed hard and work for it. All we need is for Hughes (and Rovers) to match the ambitions and to win some silverware.
  24. I agree with that. Much prefer MOTD2 with Chiles, Peacock and Dixon than with Lineker, Hansen and Shearer bleating on about the you-know-who. I cancelled my Sky Sports sub because of the Top 4 love fest, there's only so much I can take.
