Michael Owen - Thigh Strain - 1 Month Out.

Quality quote from BBC Sport site:

"I finally get it. This is a Children in Need thing right? England's performance level will increase if we donate more?"

If we don't qualify for the Euros then at least it will be a well deserved kick up the arse.

FFS Lampard. Trying to score that precious goal to keep him in the squad even though every shot is going 10000m wide.

The way we're playing, I can see Austria scoring.

Bentley touched the ball once in about 8 mins.

Twice now!

Sherwood was a midfielder and Cantona was a forward

I wasn't comparing their positions, I was taking the mick outta how we refused Zidane because we had Sherwood but replaced his name with Cantona just for a cheap laugh. I couldn't even get that. I feel let down and ashamed.

Why did we need Cantona when we had Sherwood...

Russia coach Guus Hiddink has claimed England are a team that panics under pressure and are tactically naive.

So here is my quote:

BRFCS member Tim Southampton Rover has claimed Russia are a team that were lucky and their coach only got his first win against England after 10,000 previous attempts.

The sooner he goes, the better.

He's a complete and utter idiot for most of the decisions he makes and leaves half of the team out the squad.

When Hughes was manager he was attracting crowds of 70,000 in the Millennium Stadium against the small-ish clubs...

For example:

29/03/2003 euro2004 Azerbaijan 72,500

10/09/2003 euro2004 Finland 73,441

11/10/2003 euro2004 Serbia & Montenegro 72,514

19/11/2003 euro2004 Russia 73,062

Toshack is attracting crowds of:

07/10/2006 euro2008 Cyprus 20,456

28/03/2007 euro2008 San Marino 18,752

02/06/2007 euro2008 Czech Republic 30,714

08/09/2007 euro2008 Germany 25,000

The last two teams should be attracting big crowds because they are two of the best teams in the international scene yet because Wales have gone drastically down hill, nobody wants to see them because they are playing such awful football.

Yeah Norwich qualified for the UEFA Cup that season and played in it the season after where they beat Bayern Munich in October/November 1993!

It's such a delight to see Derbyshire score, whether it's England or Blackburn. This guy represents what football should be about. He earned his place the hard way, learnt the ropes and now living the dream playing for the club he supports and making a name for himself.

AMAZINGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Never been so drained in my life watching a game on TV!

Absolutely brilliant.

Carragher = Legend

I'm speechless...

Oh...Djimi Traore is officially better than Cafu as Cafu has never won the Champions League

Probably go on a slide and be relegated if he left! Fortunately he will NEVER leave Rovers especially as we are on a high after finishing 4th and then 2nd in the league. If we can keep up the amazing improvement, who knows!! We might even get our hands on the Premier League trophy!

I'd rather sign his French team mate Christophe Dugarry, he is meant to be world class!!

It makes me laugh when people say "he's still young, give the boy a break" etc...but at 19, I never went to old lady prostitutes, I never hit a woman or swear at referees in sunday league games or swear at people who manage at work.

I'm pretty sure you get taught the opposite of the above by the age of 5, so he has no excuse really.

When you compare him to other young footballers, you don't see the likes of Peter Cech or Sendros going out and causing trouble do you...

A great footballing talent? Yes.

A great role model? No.

Class idea. You provide the sheep.....what am I saying?!?

I may have a tractor living down saaaaaf....but i'm afraid I have no sheep

We should have a 'Wales Day' to thank Hughesy & his staff on turning Blackburn around.

Welsh flags, inflatable sheep.....ratatouille!

Is anyone having problems with Rovers World on Mozilla like me?

I can only load up the Rovers World Match Engine thingy on IE...is there a way so I can run it through Firefox?

I've just realised that the second sales phase starts in little over a week, but I can't seem to find any information regarding it on the website.

I beleive its first come, first serve, and would be a perfect oppurtunity to get a few more tickets in the bag....so does anyone know how its going to work?

I'm not sure really.

If that is the case though, will the tickets be on sale from midnight and if so, what time in England? Would it be 1am CET? or 12 GMT?

GRRRRRRRRR DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!

Just checked online and it said the following:

Status  Application not successful 

Oh well!!!

2nd May it is!

Still waiting for an e-mail or anything really!!!

Applied for 5 games, so fingers crossed!!!!!!!

Here are a couple of pictures of the game:

Cracking flag Rovers!! Get it out for home games

If anyone from the Southampton area wishes to watch the game, The Bush aka The Maybush Pub (Millbrook) are showing the game on some dodgy channel!

Don't wear club colours or be vocal because it isn't a nice pub when Saints are playing!!

For those interested!

I take it that it won't affect us anymore either!

just applied for england tst 5 for me and junior,will have to have our fingers crossed as i can see the england quota being well over subscribed,but you have to try

Aye, i've done the same thing.

I've applied for a single ticket in the TST5 category and then if we get further, I will just try and buy tickets at the grounds.

As i'm only getting one ticket, i'm more confident than someone who is probably applying for around 4 tickets or so.

If i go, it will be an amazing experience especially as I've never been abroad before on my own!
