Another thing I've read (this may be untrue as it was in an airline advertisement boasting of their green credentials), but the aero industry is responsible for 3% of carbon emissions. why is everyone so fixated with air travel screwing up the planet when 97% of other stuff to worry about. However, I may be wrong ...

I thought the scientific community was quite consensual, ie if someone disproved another's theory then they embraced that, because it led to a furtherment of knowledge. I haven't seen the program and can't watch it online, if someone has a link to a text article about it, it would be appreciated. The worst thing you can do is adopt a position and become so attached to it, you can't give it up. I had heard that there were some ideas for maintaining the ambient temperature, though. Something about exploding sulphur into the atmosphere, and another one about 9installing a giant sunscreen in space.

In your excitable haste to slag him off, I think you're forgettign that at the time fat Kev was out record signing.

Oh, the irony! I think they're in even more of a mess than we were when we went down in '99. I don't have a problem with West Ham, or Lucas Neill (we did very well out of him), so don't really see the reason for gloating. It is funny though - hahahhahaaaaaaaaaaa! Ooops.

Why buy any strikers at all then, if you think Roberts is a decent player? It doesn't make any sense. This is the Jason Roberts that gave Arsenal such a tough time in a Carling Cup semi, yes? And how people can slate Jeffers when he hasn't even been able to play is beyond me.

No, I think Jan's right. I don't care if he's versatile, there's absolutely no need for him, we have enough decent defenders at the club already. In any case, we couldn't get him to sign a deal when he was here, how would we get him to sign one when he's at a different club? It doesn't make sense. He wanted a new challenge ... I reckon he's got one now alright! It's nothing against Lucas Neill, it's just a logical thing not to go after him if West Ham go down. Leave him in the past.

He just fancied a lot of grief with his football, so he joined their club! Recent results must be hard to digestive though.

Got a funny feeling his website is most definitely not going to be work-safe.

Abit sad, really: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joey_deacon

How long before Vinjay bans himself from his own board?

Was just winding you up, thought you liked arty-farty films. Number 3's definitely my favourite. I sometimes watch the opening credits to get me fired up before I train. Fireworks whistling off ... I love that bit. "I want Balboa! I want Balboa! Do you hear me old man?"

Seems unlike you to like such mainstream popcorn films, Rovermatt. I could understand it maybe if Rocky read out some poetry after his wins, and the films encapsulated socialist philosophy. :-) Don't watch Rocky 5. It's sh ... ocking.

Hoddle was nowhere near as bad as Keegan or Mclaren.

Well, obviously you are, otherwise you would have typed: "Do you have a video link?". I caught it on continental Eurosport last night.

Scored an absolute belter last night. Pedersen couldn't have done it better. Free kick out wide, 20 ish yards out, top corner, keeper rooted.

No, it's the way you make pronouncements about things, as if you're a guru sat in his underpants on some misty mountain top. You don't express an opinion, you give us the truth according to rover6 eg "Hughes has made a mistake". If you couldn't tell that the second statement you've quoted was tongue-in-cheek then you relly are out-of-touch. I wouldn't stop anyone having an opinion. It's the way you express your point-of-view that irritates me, it's as if you know everything about football and you are educating all of us plebs. Sorry to single you out, but I had to say something after reading the same pompous (yes, I'd say they were pompous) armchair diatribes again and again and again.

Oh get you, sweetie! Have you got your managerial tracksuit yet with your initials on, so you can feel like a proper manager when you're playing Championship Stuck in Your Bedroom Getting Bleary Eyed 3? I'm sorry but your "I will tell Hughes where he is going wrong from behind my PC" attitude is quite honestly a little bit irritating after the 5,000th judgement based on media reports and televised games.

Yes, because we have an ancient team of has-beens, don't we? Warnock, Reid, Emerton, Pedersen, Derbyshire, McCarthy, Bentley ... they're all queueing up for the knackers-yard. You have a hard-on for young players. I'd rather see a team that wins.

Isn't the number 19 shirt the one his hero Gazza wore in 1990?

Dunny for Hollands! Dunny for Hollands!

"Clubber, what's your prediction for the fight?" "My prediction?" "Yes, your prediction." "Pain."

He was a soldier of fortune? You make it sound like he used to strap grenades to his leg, put a kukri down his belt and run onto the pitch with an AK-47. Whaddya mean, he did? Lucas Neill wasn't that bad. i don't think he used Rovers any more than we used him, given that he wanted to leave in the Summer. he's no more a mercenary than any other player.

Complete non-story. Just one player's opinion. And a gobby little shop-steward streak of brown stuff at that. So, Hughes is wanted by Gabby Neville once Fergie retires. Hardly worth getting agitated about, is it? That's not to say it won't happen, but the headline "Hughes wanted to replace Fergie" is misleading and hysterical in teh best tabloid traditions.

Or the Nezmeckii deal or whoever he is. Or that Swiss bloke ... But somehow I think we will be concentrating on a central midfielder ...

I'm forever blowing double bubble!
