Amo and Ferguson- and the Souness connection- and they stole Hendry- Rangers have shafted us over the last few years. I'm definitely behind Celtic and Sutton this weekend.

Why the hell anyone would make such a pathetic man a captain is beyond me. Basically, he wasn't good enough to make an impact in the premiership- so ran off home. Hope Celtic hammer them on Sunday!

"They had told me at Blackburn that this was it - this was the game that meant everything. Bolton Wanderers at The Reebok Stadium on 28 December, this was the derby Rovers wanted to win more than any other game.

Who the hell told him "This was it".

Despite the stats suggesting it was my teams best ever performanc last night, we lost 8-0 to a level 3 side. Their worst player (4 stars), was better than my best (3.5). At least I got 36,000 crowd- earning me a nice 120k. That's 200k of gate receipts this week. Well chuffed with that.

Sod the vote Gav. Just take the ticket- who wears the trousers in your house!

10 years is an exaggeration! Remember Hignett getting a couple (Stockport home, Bolton away in the first division) and Dunn scored in the FA Cup at the Reebok in the same season. That's just off the top of my head. I'd like to see us replace Amo with someone with a bit more pace- like my gran.

Desperate times require desperate measures. If I was you Gav, I'd register a few dozen new accounts on here and get yourself a few more votes.

I saw the guy walk in to the lamp post too! Absolutely class! Then when the Dingle tried to look all hard after warming up, and spat all over himself- brilliant.

"Football was better before they let women and posh people in" Frank Skinner. My votes gone to Gav, sorry Debs.

You've gone and done now haven't you? Jinxed the whole bloody show !! someone had to say it

Go as a pantomime cow. Then you both get in!

I'm not going to tempt fate with a prediction (didn't make a prediction for either game in the promotion season). Whoever scores for us will become my hero, I'd love to see Stead or MGP getting the goals- but it doesn't really matter who gets them.

I got my first league win of the season yesterday too. Got an attendance of 18,500 against the worst team in my division- so looks like my big investment in the ground will pay off. Playing a level 3 team in the cup this week, putting out second string so will get hammered. PS. My youth pull was crap. TSI 100, best quality was inadequate scoring. I've got two solid and two passable strikers so its no good to me. One of my solid strikers has scored 12 goals in 9 games since I bought him- well worth the investment at level 6.

I think Teamtalk like him too- though not sure it's his football that they like "With his willowy figure, mop of blond hair and Hollywood smile, Morten Gamst Pedersen looks more like the lead singer in a boy band than the in-form member of the Premiership's supposedly most-notorious purveyors of strong-arm tactics"

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!!!!!!!!

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.

Unbelievable! Do you actually read anything anyone else says?

Well he did learn something off Jonny Wilkinson afterall
