  1. I remember this game very, very well. In fact, it was the first game where I found myself falling in love with BRFC. I think I have it on tape somewhere in an attic at my parents' house...hope like hell I can still find it when I go home to visit this summer. This game was just an awesome display from beginning to end, and you almost had to feel a bit sorry for Norwich City's players: each one of them had these "Jesus, how much longer until the final whistle?" looks on their faces near the end. I loved seeing Shearer go point both hands towards the crowd after scoring each goal. With the massive amount of money in today's game though, it's hard to imagine we'll ever see a young, up-and-coming team have a crack at Premier League glory like that again.
  2. Few random thoughts from a frequent reader, but infrequent poster: - Absolutely delighted to be fifth. We've won some games we probably shouldn't have, and also lost some of the same. The bottom line though is we're currently sitting in the top 5, and I don't know how we could have asked for more from Mark Hughes considering the funds (or lack thereof) with which he has had to work. Just a fantastic job, and Champions League qualifying is well within touching distance. Speaking of that... - Some of you have been hoping for an outside investment in the club, well...the Champions League would be one way to pull some huge cash in. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't all clubs who qualify for the group stage receive somewhere in the 10-15mil range from UEFA? Would we get outclassed by the likes of Juve, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, etc? At first, yes. But that kind of revenue would allow us to start upping the ante for player purchases...and hopefully allow us to become one of the big boys if we qualified more than once. Look at what Hughes has done with scarce funds...and imagine what he could do with a bigger budget. - Huge game with Spurs next Sunday. A win would tie us for 4th, and while Ewood is turning into a fortress...I'd really like to improve a bit on the away record (4 wins, 8 losses, 2 draws at the moment). Not to mention, I can't stand their fans. - Any news on MGP's injury? - Good news for other USA Roverites btw...the Spurs game will be on PPV and the following game (Villa on Saturday) will be on Fox Soccer Channel.
