If we had appointed Di Canio before Appleton I really think we would had been in a better situation. Do really think he would had played our foreigners the right way. I can see him doing well for Sunderland.

Sandomierski Kane, Dann, Givet, Morris Dunn, Lowe, Williamsson, Jones Rhodes, Best Would be my team tomorrow.

Tough game, bit I hope we can nick it but it will be tight.....they have some good strikers but their defenders are useless.....alot of goals maybe?

R.I.P Chris! - condoleances to his family!

Maybe Venky's plan to put in an assistant manager to stab the back of Kean.

I know Mark Hughes is still without a job, I do believe he's the man to build Rovers!

have to say that this is a massive result...the hard graft is doing wonders....

from REAL MALLORCA official website: Reid and Pedersen scorers... La localidad tirolesa, no acostumbrada a acontecimientos de tal magnitud, vivió con gran espectación el encuentro El once inicial que presentó Héctor Cúper. 26-Jul-05 El Sportstadium de la ciudad austriaca de Kirchdorf acogió para su inauguración oficial el primer choque de envergadura del RCD Mallorca en esta pretemporada 05/06 ante el Blackburn Rovers de la Premier League inglesa que dirige el exbarcelonista Mark Hughes. El tercer encuentro del stage para los de Héctor Cúper deparó un buen espectáculo para la grada que pudo disfrutar con la intensidad que ofrece el fútbol internacional de primer nivel. El partido transcurrió con una gran igualdad en el juego que tan solo se vio alterada por el mayor rodaje de los ingleses que decantaron finalmente el resultado a su favor con 2 goles a balón parado de Reid y Pedersen. Por el RCD Mallorca jugaron de inicio: Moyà (Prats), Cortés (Rafita), Ballesteros (Iuliano), Poteza, Navarro, Campano (Maciel), Borja (Pereyra), Farinós (Luis García), Peralta (Tuni), Víctor (Okubo) y Arango.

its not Coles fault he got £73.000 a week....Blame Souness!!! He could have bought another striker....one of Cole strikes gave us League Cup win!!! Remember that!

I believe Dickov will have a bit part role this season....would be nice to see Bellamy/Jansen partnership with extra steel from Kuqi!

De Vita, Barker and Welch looks promising. Centre back Barr may also be a future star! I don't believe in Derbyshire....

Bellamy will take nr 9!

I think we'll sign Cole too...... Congrats to rovers for signing such a good player as Belly!

I had the news earlier today!! But no one listened! Good Luck Jonno Stead!! He'll bang goals for Charlton.....sorry we couldn't hang on to sutch a star! Who will we sign?

When we have a manager who was a king and scored a lot of great goals as a striker maybe he can learn our strikers to play good enough?? I do believe though that Hughes is doing the same thing with Stead as he did with MGP and let him coming in nicely in to the team again!

Did you see the goal he scored against Norwich at home?? or Burnley home???

After watching todays game. First of all, Arsenal were missing Henry, Bergkamp, Pires, Silva, Ljungberg and Campbell and win 1-0 anyway...thats poor....poor performerance today Im totally gutted. Points 1-10 ----10 best Friedel....Did his job - 6 Neill....Played really well - 7 Nelsen...ok today, he and Todd forgot Persie in the goal - 6 Todd...ok..as Nelsen -6 Matteo....defended today but looked nervous and got forward one time -5 Thompson...is too short and just looses balls...anoying, just clapping his hands everytime he dont get the balls...-5 Flitcroft...think he did okay today, work hard..-6 Reid......He and Morten was the best players today and worked hard -7 Mokoena....Played well and worked hard..he likes the big games -6 Pedersen....Man of the match...tried and tried...almost scored from a corner...-7 Dickov.....poor today....just talking too much, got yellow card for that could have been sent off...out of sorts at the moment. -4 Johansson....went wrong from the start then tried -5 Tugay.....did well when came on...but to defensive....-6 Emerton...almost scored and looked dangerous upfront...-6 My scapegoats today....Thompson and Dickov. Thanks// Daniel

If we lose now Matteo has to be our scapegoat!!! Liverpool had 10 corners so far.....Rovers defence impressive, why the hell is Johansson off??? Use the edit button! Cookiemonster Posted on Mar 16 2005, 21:28 Why don't you use the edit button sorry chump.

we'll win the game confortably....The players is fighting for their places in the team....can see us win 3-0! Stead, Dickov and Pedersen with the goals!

These will leave: Bothroyd (injured too much, hasn't show much because of that) Short (out of contract to Sheff U) Gray (will move on a free transfer in the summer) Amoruso (will probably also leave and go back to Italy) Tugay (back to Turkey as his contract expires) Douglas (is heading for a div 1 side in the summer surely) David Yelldell (hasn't impressed enough) These will maybe leave depending on contract negotiations: Johansson (has played very well recently and will get a contract surely) Flitcroft (he's out of contract in the summer so he may be heading for Fulham) Jansen (contract negotiations is on, month to month contract) Gresko (he needs to get a new chance under Hughes, maybe he's a much stronger player after this injury and can prove a big hit) I want out: Matteo (he has no place in the team anymore , out out out) Loaned out: Barker (he will get a new contract and get some experience outside the premiership, A new Andy Cole) Gallacher (may also be loaned out for experience) McEverly (needs more experience too grow) Team next season: If we don't ge new players we still have a good team but Im sure we buy some new players. Goalies: Friedel, Enckelman Defenders: Lucas Neill, Ryan Nelsen, Aaron Mokoena, Andy Todd, Nisse Johansson, Dominic Matteo, James McEverly + new signings. Midfelders: Brett Emerton, Robbie Savage, Steven Reid, M Gamst Pedersen, David Thompson + new signings. Strikers: Jon Stead, Paul Dickov, Jemal Johnson, Paul Gallacher. + new signing. We'll probably sign: 1-2 strikers 1 midfelder ( 1-2 defenders 1 goalkeeper Cheers

10 mins to go...hang out for 3 points!

Im so happy for Stead to breaking the scoring and against Everton aswell...good for the game on sunday against Leicester!!
