The Mexico job has definately done Sven's professional rep harm (let's face it, his personal one can't go any lower). Coming out of the Man City job, people had sympathy for him for being sacked so soon, and after McClaren's disasterous England reign people looked back with fondness upon Sven's, in comparison, good reign. However, after what was leaked to the press soon after he left the City job and his rubbish tenure as at Mexico, he's got to rebuild himself elsewhere.

Lol, Deicide are an alright band. Not usually in my taste (though i do like the songs Standing In the Flames and Scars of the Crucifix) but if they were at a festival or something I'd probably watch them. One of my friends just bought me a ticket for an Alll Shall Perish gig in Lodnon on feb 23rd... don't know the band too well, but oh well, should be alright.

Good. Pleased to hear Nonda's off the mark and Emerton is playing well at RB! After a slow start we're beginning to pick up points, very encouraged!

Wow, pretty disasterous first day so far

Rovers all over. Battle to get level and then throw it away.

http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=2/3118160654.jpg&s=x2 I don't think the Utd fans are very happy I know sometimes we spout and moan a lot when things are going wrong but they take it to a whole new level.

Amazing result... if we'd had better up front it could have been more. Kuqi is so blatently not up to premiership standard it's not a joke anymore... but enough negative, 4-3, double over the scum, rio sent off, first hat trick ever against utd in the premiership... wonderful game. Make no mistake we had the game gifted to us by defensive errors by Man utd, they were SHOCKING in defence - but we took those chances and held on to the end. Absolutely chuffed.

Sent an official complaint to the BBC about Lawro because I was bored, and I hate him. They should reply within ten days.

Oh dear.

What a result, I can hardly believe it. Watched the whole match and have to say for the most part we were fantastic. Committed to the man. Nelsen was an absolute rock at the back, and MGP is a God. Without a doubt our best signing of recent times. But next week it could all change again! A bit of consistancy is definately needed now.

There's a surprise.

!!!

It was coming. If it ends 1-1 I won't be disappointed.

Very, very boring match. I suppose we should be happy with a point at the reebok, but we could have played until midnight and not scored. Bentley impressed me when he came on, a bit of flair in an otherwise dead boring team. MGP was quieter than usual. I forgot Emerton and Jansen were on the pitch in the first half...

Shameful. 4-5-1 is a disgusting formation to play against a team like Northern Ireland (no offence to the Northern irish, but they're on par with Azerbaijan in the FIFA rankings ffs). We deserved to lose and hopefully this is the kick up the arse they needed, as if we needed another one after Denmark! I feel sorry for the poor sods who went to watch that 'performance' tonight.

Villa had 4 or 5 clear cut chances whereas we had none. Make of that what you will. Face it, we played awful today, and you can't redeem our players no matter what you say. Pederson was not a 10, more like a 6, I've seen far better. His corners were awful, and the only memorable thing he did during the entire match was nutmeg a villa player in the 80th minute or so. Bad performance from the whole team today, though I will say Gresko impressed me the short time he was on the pitch. we desperately need someone to put away the goals. Living in Ipswich, I knew and know that Kuqi is and will never be premiership standard, I don't care if he wa son a free, I don't care if he's only had 4 games and no service, HE IS NOT PREMIERSHIP STANDARD, and will never be. We will be disappointed with him week after week and will have to wait patiently for Bellamy to return before we can rely on our strikeforce. Today was an away match, which is always bad luck for us anyway, and as was said on soccer saturday, it's been 39 games (40 now) since we've gone behind and come back to win the game, so I think we have a reason to be pessimistic, because our team is crap at coming back from a goal down, and 40 games now backs me up with that statement. We are part of a select few group of fans who can legitimaely say we're going to lose or at best get a draw when we go a goal down, how sad.

It's over. We played well 2nd half, but no end product and no hope of an end product with Kuqi as our striker. Villa had a lot of clean cut chances, could have beaten us by more than 1 easily. Onto our next game, then! We'll be alright.

10 minutes to go.... MGP's corners have been a complete disaster today Jemal Johnson on...

We're looking better than the first half, but it would have been difficult to look worse. We're still not creating anything.

There is a link, if you bothered to check the site you'd see there is a free link, but it's only for 5 people and you have to click it fairly early. Don't make assumptions. EDIT: And, for the record, I never said I'd provide a link, I said I'd say how I was getting my stream. And Kuqi is @#/?, ffs.

I'm paying for my stream, it's not free. If you want to know how, PM me.

Been watching a stream of the game, I have no idea where a goal is coming from. A set-piece is all we can hope for right now, Villa look a class above us at the moment. Baros has been good, Villa should be 2 or 3 up, rather than only 1. We've not created a chance at goal and Kuqi looks completely out of his depth, though to be fair he's had absolutely no service whatsoever, as MGP, Emerton, Tugay, Flitty and Savage have all been poor. Hughes has to get the lads going for the 2nd half because we look a beaten team right now! Come on Rovers ...

We definately need another striker, but I think we'e stuck with Kuqi until Bellamy returns. We also need players to stop making ridiculous and costly challenges, namely Todd, Savage, Neill ... a little discipline will go a long way, we don't need suspensions with our squad as thin as it is, and so early in the season.

Rovers had 12 shots to tottenham's 1 .... excellent performance by the lads, once Bellamy's back and if we play like that we'll be a threat.

No way, our corners have been dismal.
