Analysis on before Sparkys 100th game on Sunday at the Breezeblock, Opta compare his 99 games with the previous 99.

Sky Sports - Opta Stats

I guess this has a place in this thread rather than its own but someone has put the 92 clubs in order of the worst clubs to support.

I don't know how the Stanley are deemed a better club to follow, or how Brum and Villa are better than us either but 76th isn't bad. I know since my first season ticket in 87, Full Members Cup winners, Premiership winners, Carling Cup winners, Champions League appearances, UEFA Cup appearances, Charity Shield games, a number of semi finals (both cups) is a very impressive haul for a club of our size.

Worth a quick read anyway

Steve Bruce saying they want a fair price for Dunny:

Can't see how we can lose on the deal for around £1m, great player providing mouch needed flair alongside Sav and Reid. About the best Tugay replacement around if he stays fit, If we are pessimistic on the deal we may well end up delighted.

I know John Williams son has worked in Marketing for a number of years as a good friend of mine used to work with him a couple of years ago. Always said he was a decent bloke and he got my 125 year anniversary shirt signed for me.

Away in nKrakov on Oct 19th and away to feyenoord on 23rd Nov

Taking the weather into account means teams from the artic circle (Russai) play both their home games first, then travel for their two away games.

Group F Ajax AND SpartaPrague ......Please

The double poke in the eye on the Davies deal was another of our big mistakes

Davies £7m in

Beattie £1m out

Davies Out

Ostensdadt In

Awful business both ways, although I was glad just to get shut of Davies in the end as his Rovers career had been over for a couple of months before he actually left.

I'll see your Paul McKinnon with another awful buy from the past, SEAN CURRY - what an awful player he was.

I seem to remeber reading that O'Malleys and the Shamrock are next door to each other, I expect to see most Rovers fans out and about.

Will be in Salzburg at 4 - out drinking from 10 past!

Does anyone remember the game away at Bradford, I'm sure it was Courtneys next Rovers game and there were thousands of Rovers fans their that day armed with Blow Up Dolls etc and the whole away end spent the game berating him?

Place_John - as I said on the other thread I can't stand that DC5 song any more I get goosebumps and have to walk away - still breaks my heart!

Fair play as you say we have gone on to better things since but without the pain you can never enjoy the glory and that day was painful.

So its sunshine, 26 degrees c, t shirts and really strong ale.

NOW WE'RE TALKING .............. Thats what European jollies are all about!

Still no word from Waggy???

Forgotten!!! Broke my heart and I still remember sitting in that corner quietly weeping at the end. I can never listen to the DC5 again.

I still get goosebumps when I hear Glad All Over!! Easy for Palace fans to tell us to forget about it - broke my heart!

Kuqi is a good honest pro who will do well in the Championship - not the best technically but difficult to defend against. I wish him all the very best and don't consider £2.5m to be overpriced when you got £8.5m for AJ.

I have read that the food there is expensive and very poor, the locals take picnics etc apparantly.

I'll just give the food a miss and stick with the Steins!

You and giddy goat tried to trap his head in the lift doors, then you tried to roll him in the lift and send him up and down the down hotels 30 floors..........I SAVED HIM FROM THE SECURITY then he tried to attack me when he came round That's gratitude for ya!

So the truth comes out!!! He did remember the security and someone rescuing him - they were some drunken nights on a great trip though!

I have only just remembered the dancing bear outside the hotel too!

Ha ha I remember it well Tris, but unfortunately, no due to his wife already being booked on a holiday with the girls in Greece.

He couldn't remember anything about getting back that night and then that picture appearing on the t'internet the week after was priceless!!

Was great having 75% of travelling fans all in the same hotlel though, especially with Tugay working on the top floor of the Hotel!!

Can't say I'm Burts greatest fan but it really is good to hear such positive vibes coming out of the club

You have to wait right till the end of the video - Its worth it, and its all about the handkerchief.

It has been posted on one of my other favourite forums, under sexy videos :ph34r:

And holy moly, especially cc - is a fantastic way to spend an hour reading some of the rants!

IMO Jemals biggest problem is that he thinks he is much better than he is. He seems to have a superstar ego without much to back it up although he does seem to have decent pace and an eye for goal. He isn't the biggest of players either which counts against you as a striker unless you do possess real quality.

He assumed he would make a big mark at PNE last year but according to my PNE contacts he started with a very promising debut and a great goal, then did nothing thereafter.

Was Terry Gennoes not against Preston in around 87-88??

I definately remember attending a testimonial around this time v PNE as I was chased from Mill Hill Station along with 50-60 North End fans by the Blackburn youth - dispite wearing my Rovers shirt!!

Can you imagine the carnage if they start selling Warsteiner on draught!

I have read this on football 365 message board this morning, anyone know if its true or does it refer to the bars in the ground?

"Do to safety reason's the Bars will be shut on New Years Eve for the game at the JJB"

Is this the bars at the ground??

Can't see pubs being shut on NYE???
