I take back every compliment Ive ever given Zurab

Lets throw one of our strikers on!...sorry couldnt resist. Comon we cant go out of two cups in the space of 4 days!!!

True flopsy! He isnt getting any younger. Just think that without Tugay and Bellamy we'll struggle to create anything. I'd certainlt take a 1-1 or something.

Nelsen has dropped to the bench and so has Tugay! Tood and Mokoena in. Our one true source of creativity has been dropped...aiming for a draw are we?

Brilliant idea by Rovers after the shambles of this seasons shirts. lets hope their better quality as well. Home 2 away 3 for me.

Good observation on smith mate, I almost forgot how big a to$$er that guy was last night!!! The lad is a lying/dirty tit: "I love Leeds, I'd never go to Utd" Yeh right Alan. How on earth he didnt get a red card in the 1st leg was a joke. Im tempted to send in my CV for the strikers position just so I can lamp that git in the tunnel next week.

Good performance from us, and it does make you proud to be a Rover. I was so confident of a win if Bellers was playing, but when I saw the team sheet it made you think "what hope do we have at OT with one very ordinary striker (compliment) and one withdrawn striker/midfielder. The writing was on the wall. Bellamy is so important to us that its crazy. If we don't have a striker by sat and Bellers isn't fit (very likely) then chances are that were going to be sent packing. I just hope that this defeat doesn't cause us to go on a bad run, but with our current set of strikers I just cannot see us scoring enough. Final note though, as someone else said, its been years since weve seen 11 players wearing their hearts on their sleevs...its great to see.

Got a really good feeling about this one too. Don't know how were going to get to the final...but we will!!! Utd 0 Rovers 1

To be fair to souey with regards to Emerton as a "bad" signing, half of europe were after the lad and it was deemed quite a coup when we got him. Everyone thought he was going to be an explosive winger...pitty that!

Great win! Delighted that we got them back for the mugging at Ewood earlier in the year! Onwards and upwards.

Again mate, Im not trying to have a go back, but you could argue that MGP has a fair amount of skill, flair and the ability to play the killer ball. I'm not saying he is or will be anywhere as good as Pires, but I think hes a similar type of player thats all.

"I've yet to read anyone slating Pedersen." What about these?

There are different types of wingers guys. A left sided player doesn't HAVE to be pacey and hug the line, eg Giggs, Duff. MGP is a more of a Pires type player, who cuts inside in an attempt to score/create goals.

Why do some people give MGP so much stick? Hes performed very well this season and has chipped in with vital, vital goals. Just because he didn't have his best game yesterday (along with another 8 or 9 players) doesn't mean that he's useless. Only a couple of weeks ago against Pompey I thought he was our best player by quite a margin.

It's not a good move mate, we need Bellers in from the off. He's suspended next wkend as it is so surely he must have a slight knock or something?

Although United have a squad of class players, 1 player has been the major difference this season between them and the rest of the clubs bar Chealsea...Rooney. If he somehow (Please God) gets injured for the games then we can beat them. If hes on fire then I think they'll have too much for us.

Good win, and a very valuable 3 points. We wre pretty clueless and nervous in the second half, but first half our midfield meant that we dominated the proceedings. I thought that MGP had his best game for us for quite some time. On a bad note everytime the opposition has a free kick at the moment, I'm very worried about Brads positioning. Yes the wall didnt do great but it didnt take a genious to work out where Matty Taylor was going to place it. On the whole though a good 3 points. Its teams like Pompey who are going to be very hard to play against from here on in due to the fact that their hanging by their nackers.

If he does go, then its goodbye to a Rovers legend. He's a really nice lad and deserves the best for the future.

I was only one goal out!! Good prediction though, I just had that feeling we'd beat them. What strikes from MGP and Stevie Reid! Get in!

Glad that the stats can finally shut that nobb head lawrensen up. In an article in either the mirror or the sun today he gives his opinion on who the prem clubs will be after come January. He says of us "they're a team who have been punching abover their weight"?! Where the hell does this guy get off. If we keep our best eleven fit were top 10 material no doubt. As for his constant Brum "win" predictions, wake up and smell the coffee mate.

For some bizarre reason Im very confident of beating Wigan tomorow. I just think that they've been slightly fortunate with decisions etc this season (Fulham 100% pen got turned down if i remember) and if you get at them like Spurs did then they're not invincible at home. 2-0 for me and top half come the start of the year.

Glad they've fixed the one where they stop sayng that a players been playing badly when he hasn't. The media questioned my decision to "stick by" Rui Costa at Milan when he was averaging 7.80 and had racked up 20 goals!

You are right Den. It is easy to blame Todd, but you must admit, his marking Of Bouba was pretty poor. But after watching it again, as you quite rightly say, Zura I think it is allows the ball to travel all that way when he could have cut it out. Our defending on the whole this season isn't good enough.

Neil was lucky not to get book/red carded for the elbow on Boa judging by our dealings with refs this season. Watching goals on sunday they picked up on it...lets hope the ref didn't in his post match report. Sometimes you have to wonder what Neil is thinking. As for Andy Todd, I think even a 5 year old knows the basics of defending...GOAL SIDE ANDY.

This is true Theno. But you know we dont really create any decent chances until we fall behind. Its like "oh were 1-0 down now, better pull me socks up". We need to get in there from the off. Granted I cant really comment on todays game as I wasnt there, but from what I've heard it sounds like a similar scenario.
