HAs to be my best ever Rovers day out. Started about 8ish in the morning and went till closing with a brief nap in between. Great day out and yes that added time seemed to last forever. I remember the golf balls flying too.

Don't remember the scousers having such a sense of humour when we sang about Cisse.

I liked the Cup results over the weekend too. Bolton, WHam and City all now have another game to play.

Good for him, always happy to see our ex youngsters doing well. Well, most of the time.

Really really glad to get that game out of the way. 1864, did you actually see Toogs pass that set up Peter for him to cross for Bellers second. He can still do it, just not as often. I thought he did bloody well tonight. How long's he been doing that step over though, don't recall seeing him do that before he did it several times tonight. I thuoght Pongo showed some good touches, started on the right and did well but went to the left and did little. Quite a few "almosts" There is potential there, I think. How crap was Pedersen tonight? I hope he's still got a knock or I'd have in on the bench.

Hope we don't score too early I've seen us do that against "lesser" opposition before and we take the foot off the pedal.

I'll have to tape it but I am not sure I dare watch. Got that horrible gut feeling the script for this one is already written. Sunderland will be giving 100%, from what I have seen they always have this season. We had better match them and then some.

I would not touch it with a barge pole meself. If, and it's not looking likely, we don't make it then I would not go intertoto. Look at the seasons the teams that went in have had, add to that a World Cup year it would be really stupid of Rovers to even think of it.

Knees, infront of Jordan.

Is it just me or does your volume of posts increase after a run of dismal crap. You did not seem very prolifant after our good run. Hey, look on the bright side we've now played 3 games against ManU and the scores are tied, nah that would not do would it, nowt to whine about there, sorry rev but I am as disappointed as you, reality is we were punching above our weight, we knew we were not that good and the results just happened to go our way. In timeless true Rovers fashion we peak the interest of the public then let 'em down with a couple of performances that make em say same ol Rovers. Nowt changes.

Heh Heh, see WBA v Rovers, haven't we learned anything yet

A la Souness' "temporary" problems at Newcastle perhaps. I can't stand McClaren, I really do think he is part of Svens problems, an assistant with more fire would have been better.

Make Ewood the only place in town you can get an inebriating beverage when games are on. Include the 1/2 hour before and after the match

Didn't Everton do an excellent job of negating Toogs at Ewood?

As much as I hat eto say it, another loss here, just to discourage the people of Blackburn, just enough for them to think same old Rovers. Europe is a pipe dream it really is. Hughes and his staff and the team have done us proud but we need to remain realistic.

Hate to say I told you so but......

But we are Rovers fans, we've been here before, many many times. Heard word Pongo may be ill for todays game.

Don't know about anyone else but I have been extremely impressed by the way Savage has conducted himself on the pitch over the last few games. Not to mention his heart and soul performance last night, I thought there was two of him on the pitch.

Hughesy for Newcastle? I am thinking not. I can't see fat Freddy dipping his hand in the cookie jar twice in succesion. He'll go for a big name, try to struggle through till Summer and appoint SGE after the World Cup.

Thankfully that came to nothing. I laughed my arse off even after several replays showed that MGP did nothing wrong the commentators simply refused to admit that Ronaldo could mis kick and therefore there must have been an infringement. Yes Kudos to the linesman for giving the Pen. RFW's explanation of the ball was going to VDS and therefore should not have been giving is soooo lame. Wes Brown had no idea who was behind him, he had overrun the cross and CLEARLY intentionally put both hands behind his back to intercept the light of the ball. Good shout linesman. Saha's goal, I counted 3 MU players offside when Rooney's shot went in. The sooner the rules are put back as they were the better. This "new" offside rule is far too open to interpretation to me. If you are a Goalie and there are 3 opposing players offside in front of you as a shot comes in what the hell are you supposed to think, in my mind they are interfering with play cos they clearly affect the keepers thought process. New rule is rubbish, even if it works in our favour I still don't like it. As for the ref I thought he done OK'ish until Utd got their third then it was like a switch had been flipped, he started to favour everyting towards the Reds. We were hardly even allowed to contest for headers.

Cracking game, glad I taped it. Kuqi, if the lad had anything like a first touch he'd be brilliant. Todd put about 10 years on me all he had to do was punt the ball into touch. Great result, one happy camper here.

Dwight Yorke goal incorrectly ruled out for offside. Grabbis great goal ruled out for a foul on Clown Barthez. ( I sometimes ponder what might have been had that goal been allowed to stand)

The only question I have is, How will the officials cheat us this time? Surely they must be running out of ideas.

Link did not work Philip

Has to be home 3 it's the closest to tradition, the others have coloured side pades, not strictl blue and white halves in my mind, especially #2, almost like tapered stripes. The only good aspect of 1 & 2 is they may make the beer belly appear smaller.
