What's his goal scoring record now?

http://www.soccerbase.com/players_details.sd?playerid=21488

11 starts for Rovers, 5 goals. That's very impressive for a winger.

I'm up for it, even if I do give someone an easy passage into the next round. My clubs got the infrastructure set up, need to get some money together now to get a decent side together. Think my investment in youth has paid off so far though. I've got 20 players excluding my coach, and 7 of them have come through the youth team. I've got 2 passable keepers, 1 passable defender and 1 solid defender, 1 solid winger, one solid playmaker and one excellent playmaker (whose also got passable defending). It's cost me a lot of money over the last 8 months or so, but think it's definitely been worth it. This weekend will be the first time I've promoted someone from my "excellent" youth academy.

Hello. thought i'd add my team to the mix. It's Leyland Rovers. Only been playing a couple of seasons, finished 5th,4th, then 2nd (on goal difference) so far. I've managed to make my youth team reach excellent rating, and have built my ground up to 42,000. Just the team needs work now. I've managed to scrape into the 3rd round of the cup, got a home game against a division 3 side, so hopefully a decent attendance. I'm training my midfielders, got 4 excellent playmakers aged 19-21. The 19 year old one can only be a week or two away from formidable. Not sure whether to sell him or build my team round him. What you think?

I actually found myself wanting United to win I'll hang my head in shame.

Seem to remember having to be in our seats about 2 hours before kick off, and only being allowed out about 45 minutes after kick off. Everyone was standing all game- and I left with a spliting headache. Brilliant atmosphere- the Rovers fans put the Dingles to shame.

We didn't sell all our tickets when we played them in the league. I hope they make sure that the loyal fans get first shot at the tickets- but we better sell them all. Some fans will worry about potential trouble, and there are the ones who wouldn't pay to enter turf moor. I was there during the promotion season- one of my best memories of football. We must have sung none stop for 3 and a half hours.

Yes! Can't wait!!!!!!!!

Rather bizarrely, despite being in 15th place we have actually lost less games than Liverpool, who are in fifth. If we win tonight we will only be nine points away from that fifth place. Outside the top and bottom four the teams are bunched up in such a way that a run of three of four wins will take a team away from worrying about a possible relegation scrap to be fighting for a European place. A win tonight alone would leave us just three points behind the top half of the table.

Shame we have such a difficult sequence of games coming up...mind you, it's not so long ago that we seemed to raise out game against the top teams. Hopefully Hughes can take us Back to the Future over the next couple of months.

Noticed that myself. A win would also put us 5 points from 8th spot. Should be interesting to see how Sparky does given a full season. The top three are light years ahead of the rest, but apart from that I think the leagues pretty open. Everton don't have anything special and look where they are in the league! They were rubbish last season too. 1-0 win tonight with Savage scoring and getting booked. There will also be a funny moment when a Bolton player trips on the ball, probably around about the half hour mark.

I remember going to see the Rovers play the Prague club sometime in the early 70s, at Ewood Park.

Anyone know the details? (I think we won).

Unbelievable! Do you actually read anything anyone else says?

For later predictions, I fancy Dave Becks to win the final for us against France in the last minute with a customary free-kick, in true Jonny Wilkinson style.

Well he did learn something off Jonny Wilkinson afterall

Gerrard pretty much carried the whole team throught the season, Liverpool that is. Infact when i told a couple of Liverpools it was Duff, Parker and 20 million they all said no. Can't be replaced.

You'd rip Chelsea's hand off for that offer. Parker is a very good player, and while he isn't as good as Gerrard- he could do a job. In Duff they'd be getting a very special player- and then 20m to strengthen in other areas. I don't think there is a player in the world that I'd turn down 20m, duff, and parker for. A united fan I know said he'd sell Ruud for that offer.

Champions

Not exactly on topic, but near enough. An article from the Yorkshire post confirming that wolves will sign Michael Duberry on a free transfer and while Wolves will pay him £7000 a week, Leeds will pay him £16000 a week.

What a mad mad world Leeds have got themselves into.

Yorkshire post

That is unbelievable. Leeds really are rubbish.

I'm sure the scouts picked up on Nissa, and what a waste of space he has been.

Micheal Carrick overrated ?

yr joking mate he is the most complete midfielder in Div 1 and is the type of player that can enhance greatly given a run in the Premiership.

he would be an idela foil for ferguson should tugay depart Rovers.

I usually agree with what you say 1864Roverite, but I gotta disagree here. Carrick is vastly overrated, certainly not the kind of player we should be wasting any money on.

So who is who on the team photo? A few lads looking in the peak of phsical condition

In a bizarre sort of way Abrohimovich is really helping those teams just outside the top five and smaller prem clubs in london. They are able to attract the cast offs on loan or in transfers for next to nothing. There could be as many as ten or twelve ex blues knocking about, all of decent quality.

Birimngham and Villa look like they are going t have substantially improved teams thanks to the dodgy russian which is not good news for us.

Glen Johnson? Yes please....

..and the 17m we got for Duff has helped Rangers, Millwall, Huddersfield, Feyenoord, Parma, Stuttgart Kickers, and Villa. Looking at that list we do appear to have wasted Abramovich's money- with the exception of Huddersfield.

great signing my arse,souness has just garaunteed another bad season,paul dickov is a good 1st division player at best.

*yawn*

Don't let him wind you up. The man clearly knows nothing about football and just enjoys winding people up.

now the Style Council ?

what a band

Gotta love the jam though

Guardian says O'Leary had him watched on Thursday and will be putting in a £2m bid. Prepare for disappointment.

O'Leary is fast becoming my least favourite person

However, if he moves to Utd then all his "love for Leeds" and "passion" will mean absolutely nothing. He'd not only be a traitor but an idiot as well. How easy will it be for him to return to his home town after signing for their most deadly rivals?

Exactly. I hope he does move to Man Utd, just to show what a load of rubbish the badge kissing antics were. Can you imagine if we'd have been relegated a few years ago, and Burnley had got into the premier....i'll stop now

Cheers

Blackburn har bestemt seg for å komme med et bud på Tromsøs stortalent Morten Gamst Pedersen.

Blackburn Rovers har lenge hatt Morten Gamst Pedersen i kikkerten, og etter at flere andre klubber har kommet på banen, har de nå bestemt seg for å legge inn et bud på unggutten.

Etter det TV 2 Sporten erfarer, skal engelskmennene nå forberede et bud på 2 millioner pund, som de vil komme med til Tromsø i løpet av de nærmeste dagene.

- Dette kjenner jeg ikke noe til, sier Tromsø-trener Per-Mathias Høgmo til TV 2 Nettavisen.

Høgmo ønsker ikke å tenke noe på om fremtiden i klubben blir med eller uten kometen på venstrekanten.

- Vi har ingen kommentarer før vi har noe konkret på bordet fra en klubb, sier han.

Også Aston Villa, Newcastle og Manchester United har Gamst Pedersen i søkelyset, og vil se ham i aksjon mot Molde 20. mai.

Whats this one about? Just the general idea if you have time. Cheers

That guy really *ucks me off!

Im all hot and bothered now!

I pray to god that asterix isn't hiding an S.

Hope you'll take a big England flag with BRFC written on it. Make a nice change from seeing the flags with names of lowere league/non-league london clubs all the time.
