Rob Moore is no longer Benni's agent. He was at the time McCarthy joined Rovers and has brokered deals for a lot of South Africans who have come over to England which is why he also mentions Van Heerden. McCarthy is frustrated at not playing and I wouldn't blame him for wanting a move but Moore is not his spokesman.

Pace - we have absolutely no pace in the side whatsoever. None of our strikers - Roberts possibly excepted - have it, while our midfield has even less. Pedersen and Bentley are arguably too slow to act as wide players. Probably the only player in our squad at present with genuine pace is Emerton - and he's injured again! Without speed on the break, we're really struggling to create chances away from home and that's a worry.

I'll have to hold my hands up for that headline! Changed it now to be on the safe side, though, because of doubts over the pronunciation. Just heard from various sources that Lucas Neill is off to Liverpool and, wait for it, Danny Mills will be joining on a free from City.

I'm a long-time Rovers supporter who nows works for Sky Sports. One thing that I'm sure will interest you all was the reason for the lack of comments from Sparky post-match. As some of you have already said, Jim Proudfoot, the Sky commentator was fishing when he asked Arsene Wenger three times to comment about Rovers 'physical' style. Each time Wenger didn't take the bait, so to speak, so the interviewer persisted. Hughes had heard this and off the air laid into Proudfoot and refused to be interviewed by Sky and, in fact, threatened to boycott interviews with the company altogether. To paraphrase Hughes claimed that he had had to put up with that kind of rubbish for over a year and made Proudfoot apologise for attempting to open up a whole new can of worms - good on ya Sparky! To be fair to Wenger on this occasion, he was quite gracious and didn't actually choose to blame Rovers for their 'robust' approach. I write a lot of Rovers' news and a fair few of our match reports for the website so, have faith, the mis-representation of the club in the national media is now on the wane - hopefully.
