Who is Roy Trunks?

Duck and cover! Accountants at war! "Ouch, he's just stabbed him with a compass! And then clouted him with the FT! Bitch!" "That's nothing, look where he's stuck that slide rule!"

Didn't quite work that way at Leeds, did it?

"foot wrong" or "foot long"? Whatever, if you make a bird dream of a Pot Noodle whilst you're on the job you must be doing something right.

mad mad mad mad! :-)

Was that for a midweek game?

T4E, 40 quid is still a lot of money. I do sympathise though, getting up to Blackburn from down South is expensive. For those that live in Blackburn, travelling such a long way is something they have to put up with far less frequently. It's a free market, so if people think 40 quid is too much to pay for 90 minutes entertainment (and I think it is) then they don't have to pay it and shouldn't be criticised for choosing not to go.

Why is it that when people start a sentence: "I don't mean to be ..." what they actually mean is: "I'm going to be ... "?! Shearer's ability is a product of a lot of hard work on the training ground. What I meant was that Rooney has natural ability with the ball at his feet. Which is different from being "a natural goalscorer".

Leave it to Hughesie (not Hughesy!) He'll sort it, no-one messes with da Hughes. We're gonna have a Sparky Marky Ewood Parky Party!

Rooney's an out-and-out natural, whereas Shearer is more of a coached player. He's only 18, but he's a real joy to watch. Long may that remain so!

"We've won a fantastic unconditional surrender!"

Today's lesson in self-sufficiency for Hughesy: - Go to www.tfl.gov.uk - Click on maps, click on underground map - Look at the connections between Euston and Fulham Broadway. Clue: Victoria, District, District.

Oh right, I thought you were picking me up for saying "whinging mincer"! I meant demographic as in the age distribution of those voting is (I'd guess) heavily skewed towards those who never watched Rovers much before 1980.

Eh?

Voting seems to be greatly influenced by voting demographics. I never saw Newton play, but I bet he was better than Le Sauce! The whinging mincer.

No-one can moan at being left out at the minute. I just hope he's got some life left in his legs ...

We're deperately short of craft and guile at the minute. As such, I'm not surprised we've gone after him.

As much as it's nice to be positive Philip, it was quite clear that we lack class going forward. There was a definite lack of alertness/ alacrity, and a paucity of ideas in the final third. We lack someone of genuine class who the opposition fear. OK, Everton are in the top three and they have no-one, but we have no-one as well as springing leaks everywhere. The defence doesn't inspire confidence, we do not possess a midfield to be feared and if we were being cruel, our forward line is a mix of rookies and try-hards. Thanks, Graeme!

We should have had a penalty, definitely. It wasn't blatant, a bit of playmanship in trying to take the sting out of the ball, but a definite penalty nonetheless. Charlton's claim wasn't as strong but we were still a little lucky with it. We struggled to get to grips with playing through Charlton's formation, but the biggest thing for me was a proven striker up front. We will struggle now. Got a lot of time for Stead (still very young), Dickov (can never be faulted for effort), Jay (classy deep-lying player) and possibly Jansen (still not totally conviced), but we desperately need someone who is an out-and-out poacher who knows where the goal is (and has some height), someone proven. Emerton still drifts in too early but at least showed some confidence despite taking the easy option at times. At least we only conceded one goal, but I should imagine there'll be changes in Jan. Can't wait for the transfer window.

Not tonight mate, I'd never get back to Deal. Is the Chelsea game next month at Stamford bridge, if so will be there.

Well, go ahead then Rodders, you muddyfunster! Bit of broken glass will keep you quiet!

"white caucasians"? Can you get "black caucasians" then? Is that like a "Black Russian"?! You is talking jive, boy!

Who would want to buy us? We're not an attractive proposition. I can't imagine that it would be in line with JW's wishes, and I can only hope that it's tabloid rubbish.

Fantastic, I do love a good attendance debate!

Isn't the sports village right out on the ring road though.
