Sky Sports reporting it was a free, is this true? Thanks for the service Andy, good solid player but always a bit of a liability with his dodgy temperament. Good luck at Derby.

Two and a half lines about Rovers saying he was at training the rest of the article about Benni, his desire to leave and Chelsea/Mourinho, typical.

Benni is getting just a little bit too big for his boots.

I had no idea dillo dillo that Pie Eater was anything like offensive, I'd be proud to have a nickname like that. I love pies.

Lot's of other dead folk I have no respect for, I won't change that just because they are dead. You maybe are right though in this instance, best just to have said nothing.

Did no one mention Wigan-Pie Eaters, don't know why but that's one of my favourites.

Hey mate, what ever!!! Perhaps that IS why I don't play poker. I would have told the bloke myself, and I would feel good about it. I simply would not like myself had I done what you did. Maybe you are not a "bad" person per say but acts like that, to me, say you are not a good person. Hey, back to the footy, I will most certainley miss watching Henry in the prem but I think the Arse are on the verge of something great.

Condolences to his family who will no doubt miss him. As for me, no respect for the bloke.

Actually yeah it does. Typical of the way our society is now, it's the other blokes fault you cheated him.

They did a similar thing on FSC here a while back, best buys of the season and all the drooling was over Berbatov and Martins, someone mentioned Benni and the response was "mmm yeah he's done OK, not bad" Surely when one is considering best buys one should include the price paid, this for me makes Benni far and away the best buy. OK we know his traits that we don't like but he stuck the goals away and that is what strikers are paid for.

Simple, he said, "self, club, country" in that order which is exactly what Bents did but now the shoe is on the other foot it's all a big to do. It's classic hypocrisy on Pearce's part and if you fail to see that R6 you should keep to talent spotting football management. Odd, I don't seem able to find that quote now, did I dream it?

Mido, tops my list by a long shot. Berbatov is not the only reason he does not get a look in R6.

I do believe there is some truth to that statement. I am sure if it was one of the big boys "stars" it would have been smoothed over a lot better and with some commitment, you'd have medical experts on backing the players claims and all that. Yeah I think there is something to it being us. I have not heard much furor regarding Abgonlewalkabout who plays for Villa. Did Martin O'Neill not make similar claims of fatigue? how many games has that lad played?

To be honest I was a little bit upset when I first heard of this. However I think the article that best puts things in true perspective is the one on the very front page of this site, it indicates that if England do well then Bents has only 6 days off to prepare for a the upcoming season. Simply not enough, I applaud what the lad has done in the interests of BRFC. I too agree that it might have been different of McClaren would have pulled his head out his arse long ewnough to actually watch the performance of the players he is picking. The lad turned in 2 MOM peformances and was completely overlooked for Dyer and Jenas. I'd be miffed too, what does this lad have to do.

Just got back from a bike tour. So, if I understand correctly, Bents did not even get on the pitch? Not surprised are you? After all he only plays for Blackburn Rovers and we all know it's the team you play for that will get you picked when the manager is under the cosh. Anyway McClaren needs to go and NOW. HE should never have been appointed in the first place and it is just another shining example of how far out of tune the FA really is.

One thing for sure, there'd be few more goals without keepers

Bleedin obvious init?

No YES No Don't know why but I have the gut feeling Mr Doyle is one of those one season wonders. I doubt he will emulate his heroics of this season in the next. I hope I am wrong cos I sort of like Reading and Mr Coppell (must be his bubbly personality)

I have never liked Mido, made no secret of it when we were after him either. Don't like him don't like his play don't think he's all that. I was sooo glad we did not get him. Keane or Defoe, in that order would do nicely thank you Martin.

As for holding Benni to his contract, Is it really a good idea to force a player who, at the best of times can look disinterested, to play wherehe does not want to? I mean if his effort looks poor now image what it might be like.

Oh dear oh dear!

Perhaps an indication that Sparky knows Bellers return is not going to happen

If Todd plays in the Semi give it up now. A penalty conceded by us and a sending off is an absolute cert. I have not seen the last two games but prior to that I thought Samba was very effective, rather have him than Todd.

If it's true, then no doubt he's off.

Oh good Fife, I thought a little touch of sunshine had sent you quite mad. Glad to know you are actually alright
