Finally, my Rovers shirt (with Dunn's name on the back) is up-to-date again except for his old number. Well, never mind, I'm very happy with his return.

i can't wait any longer for the new season. this is a massive signing and i didn't really believe that we could get someone like bellamy. as mentioned before, with bellamy and stead, that could have been a great partnership upfront. but i'm just happy now anyway.

first game against sunderland at ewood. stead to score a hat-trick

i just finished to read 1984 by orwell. great book. has anyone read american psycho? even better. looking forward to reading how to be good by hornby.

we will lose 2-0

when we were 1-0 up i really thought we would win this one with our great defence, but now i'm really disappointed.

it's quite funny to see gers supporters' real problems.

i think we'll lose this one. the baggies really need the 3 points to still have the chance of survival. we have just assured our pl place next year. i don't exactly know how motivated our lads will be for this one. though i still hope for a win.

I'm pretty confident about this one (after the palace game). i think we will win 2 - 0. would like to see a 4-4-2 again for the last 30 mins. stead and gally (if he's fit) together once again. tugay will probably show us why we will need him for the next season. (got a feeling about that)

My first correct prediction (yeah!), although I have to admit, this one wasn't too hard.

I think/hope we will beat them 1-0. MGP to nick the winner, although I'd really like to see Stead on the scoresheet again. MH will motivate the team for another crucial game which could save us for sure.

we somehow always seem to play better against top teams. so i'm not really confident about this one. i don't dare doing any prediction.

We've got a solid defence now, but our strikers and attacking moves are terrible. A draw would be the best result we can get. Hoping that Stead will start and bring in some young spirit. 2 - 0 ManU

I'm very disappointed. In the first half we played some decent moves and Arsenal couldn't put a string of passes together. I thought If we are to win this one, we should score now. But we didn't. How should we? With Dickov upfront and mostly just little support there's no chance to score against Arsenal - and even their "reserve team". With Dickov it won't come good in the long run. Actually, I don't really look forward to seeing him on the pitch again. (Bellamy got his first hat-trick at Celtic). Pedersen did some nice moves and passes, but in the end I thought, Rovers never really believed that they could get something out of it.

I somehow think we will beat them 2-1. MGP and Stead to score the goals. But if we beat them on Saturday, then I will be quite hopeless. I don't think we will win against Arsenal twice within such a short time.
