im gonna go for 2-0 to Rovers...Nonda and Gallagher to get the goals

i think our whole campaign is going to hinge on who we play away from home. The top ranked teams are not going to look forward to coming to ewood, and i'd be confident of getting something out of the game against pretty much any team in the draw at home.... But if we can get a kind draw for the away legs then we could be in with a real shout of progressing especially with the top three teams going through Id go for any of the four eastern European teams out of pot 3 and any out of pot 5

who are the other teams that could be in our gorup should we get through? Do we know? or is there another draw to determine that? Anyway i'm going for 2-0 Nonda and Benni Mac to do the business!

He busted his nose and got blood all over his kit...hence the striptease!

Are there usually three games on tv in the carling cup? Would it not be just two? one on the tuesday and one on the wednesday? Doesnt matter because i think we will be on anyway

1-1 McCarthy

1-0 jeffers Edited to say that is my prediction..not the actual score!

Mokoena favoured over Todd as the defensive option on the bench...doesnt bode well for Toddy this!!

Am i right in thinking that if we win we go into a group with the other 4 winners? or are groups drawn again? Doesnt really matter as im sure were going to lose

Rovers 1 - 0 Chelsea McCarthy

If Jeffers does get his first start then surely there is no better game for it... All the pessimism on here makes me think we'll win... 2-0 Jeffers McCarthy

i think Rovers will find it difficult to score on Saturday....according to 'arry, Pompey will have the best keeper in the country in net!!! And yes he is talking about David James!! Link

I beleive that the Worthington cup is made of Stainless Steel...

The only prediction i am going to make is that Newcastle will not finsh inside the top 8

I liked that preview. not as bad as it could've been...very complimentary about the ground, and didnt even mention the Sh!te attendances!!

'best manager blackburn have had since Kenny Dalgliesh' If we finish top six again this season he will be better in my eyes...and therefore the best rovers manager i can remember

Pompey 0 - 2 Rovers McCarthy x2 Also someone from both sides to see red in a bad tempered affair....do i get any bonus points if that happens Mr Gull?

Eh? Are you sure? I thought they just got promoted this season? maybe your thinking of AZ Alkmar

I'd agree with that...but it also coincides with him having a more settled position in the team...which is of course down to Hughes. Sav might not be the prettiest player to watch but he does have a massive influence on the rest of the squad. If Reid has another good season next time i reckon we'll be receiving some more bids for him...maybe a tad higher than £2m though!

bloody hell!! Good goalkeeping by Brad! Edited: Twice in 2 minutes!!

no

Quite an acheivement!! Roberts is now on...did i see Tugay aswell?!

Well we've already had nearly an hour...so i'd doubt he'll be repeating that!!!

Douglas should've scored

Pleasure what are you saying?? She looked to be in her late teens at most!!
