Someone on BBC Radio Lancs mentioned Otto Rehagel. Wouldn't say no to him.

Rik, please NO TEXT SPEAK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's obvious now Yorke's gone ( not to mention the signing of bothroyd ) we have a stronger squad. Despite Cole going, we have brought Dickov in and we won't miss Cole. Matteo provides strength at the back while Pedersen will be a star. As for De Pedro, I think he's got to get match fit before he fights pedersen for the left wing spot.

Errrr, no! That was striker Rey Volpato from Padova. As for Bothroyd, i saw him in italy so i'll think he'll be a decent enough player.

I can see it being a repeat of 2 years ago ( 5-1 Newcastle ) unless Brad plays like he did on Saturday.

Anyone know who they are?

Spot on - my team exactly. Not a single person in midfield who can tackle. Can't Ferguson?

Could be worse How about 9-2

We'll get a what?

Knowing Souness pedersen will be our new keeper.

2-1 Rovers. Phillips puts the saints ahead with a neat header on 21 minutes and 33 seconds. But on 41 mins and 1 second we then see Jon Stead with a nice side foot into the bottom corner. 76 minutes and 14 seconds had passed when Dickov puts the ball in after emertons shot is blocked.

Look, why are we even talking about andy cole? He's gone, he's Rovers history.

I do not think jansen has a future with us. I've always been a big fan of his, but after that motorbike crash its never been the same. He was in the england squad( or almost in it ) when he had his crash. Think he'll go to some team like sheff utd or some1 like that.

OH SOUNESS!!!!

Gresko?
