When we have everybody fit IMO we have one of the best midfields in the world, Tiatto is crap but we need to play him in case any long term injuries come about. In fairness to Farina, he is doing the best with what he has, it wasn't so long ago we were praising him for beating France, Brazil and England. He has Alex Ferguson tactics for a Crystal Palace team, he needs to concentrate on our strengths and play to them not change tactics to accomodate for our weaknesses. And that's right Sheva, they couldn't finish it off, that is the problem, stronger opposition would have made them pay. Except for a couple of bloody centre backs it was a full strength squad, with the countries best attacking force.

How bad is the English football team? Have a look at the team the Dutch put on the field Edwin Van der Sar 1 Khalid Boulahrouz 3 Johnny Heitinga 6 Jan Kromkamp 2 Joris Mathijsen 4 Giovanni van Bronckhorst 5 Denny Landzaat 8 Rafael van der Vaart 10 Romeo Castelen 7 Dirk Kuijt 11 Roy Makaay 9 SUBS Henk Timmer 16 Nigel de Jong 12 Mario Melchiot 14 Mark van Bommel 17 Ugur Yildirim And the bloody English couldn't score against that, this is the reason you guys will not win a major footballing championship any time soon. The full dutch squad would ahve taken you guys apart on that performance.

Australia 1-1 South Africa What a second half, good result for the aussies who where probably at their weakest since the solomon islands

A good website? Let me check the poll on this site....Who will win the premiership Chelsea 7.02% Arsenal 5.54% Man Utd 5.43% Liverpool 11.90% Newcastle 19.58% Everton 18.38% Spurs 26.01% Other 6.09% WTF?

Not unless they play at Ewood as well. How many broken legs and knee restructions does the old pitch have in it left?

Thanks for the memories Mr Jansen. I will predict he leaves the club, gets signed on a free by someone like Millwall then score 23 goals a season

Sutton will get my vote, what he and Shearer accomplished was why I started following rovers in the first place

Here Here

I dig him, he is arrogant but he is killing Ferguson in all departments including this one this year, that's what matters. When Turdgeson finally retires I will probably hate him, but, for the moment he is giving it to the Mancs

We will get pumped

Shearer 94 and Shearer 95 Otherwise Sutton is in for sure

Classic stuff, gotta go gold

Will be pressed due to work issues but hopefully next time will be a go'er, whenever you guys want to catch up in Brisbane I will be there in a flash

Yeh, but we got Robbie Savage

Scum!!!!! I feel like a Birmingham fan

Yeh, but we got Robbie Savage

Really? Without too much experience when I was in Europe I thought Germany was the best place to visit, I think that it would be a wonderful World Cup whether or not the blessed footballroos are there or not

I am starting to organise a massive trip for me and my mates over here is Oz to go to Germany for the World Cup. Is anyone going from the board and if you are I would like you local (well more local then me) input, and we can catch up in Hofbrau house for some Mass filled to the brim with weissebier

Back to the theme though, they should replace the fourth place Champions League qualifier in the Premiership with the winner (depending obviously on Winners placing in league) or finalist of the FA cup. Oh yeh, Rovers to win 4 zip

I know this has probably already been mentioned somewhere, but since it is official what the **** is he thinking? Is savage the player we need? Is he worth 2 million pound?!!! IS this going to be a repeat of the Souness Rangers fiasco? Now we just buy Welsh players?

Looks like the spotted faced brigade have spoken eh jim!!! Voted DUFF

That's because they are thugs, there are no positives for the bulldogs It is a real shame that even though you are now the victim, indirectly, of being collectively labelled a rapist for merely being a Rovers supporter, by a shameless press, you fail to perceive how it might be on the other side of the equation. I am a Bulldogs supporter, and you obviously, are not. The same aggrevation that many Rovers supporters feel with being branded because of a handful of idiots, is something that Bulldogs supporters have endured for a long time now. If you feel the aggrevation, then imagine how it feels for a law-abiding, loyal Bulldogs supporter, when the gutter press collectively label Bulldogs and their supporters as rapist, racists and thugs. Or would you just want to take the attitude a Burnley supporter would at this time, because you support a rival of the Bulldogs? Hook, Line and Sinker

That's because they are thugs, there are no positives for the bulldogs

I thought the young man played very well against Australia, even he can produce one bit of magic to have a hand in a goal it is better then what we are achieving now

How good are these aussies lads going to be when they get some games together under their belts, we really missed Moore though, I am just glad we weren't up against a Ronaldo or Henry, they would have torn the defence to shreds. Australia really needs a class defender, I think Colosimo should have been given a run maybe as sweeper, and **** Tiatto off! There is a reason he plays for bloody Leicester
