Gamst missed a sitter! Should have got that. Poor, poor, poor.

Come on Guys !! Have a common sense !! We are playing at home, with full stadium capacity. By the way we are on the top wave right now..

If we don't win this match then I will be severely disappointed. To lose a match against this sort would possibly be disastrous. We need to be getting a point at the very least to even hope to qualify. (Mr. Hughes has raised the bar, hasn't he?)

A 2-1 win it will probably be. McCarthy will no doubt chip in with one, while Savage will get another free kick in.

I am absolutely disgusted with what is going on. We have the players, the backing and most of all some of the best supporters in the country. We carry the name of a great city and we should be plying our trade with the big boys in the Premier League. Please Mr Sullivan and Messers Gold get rid of him NOW before its far too late to rescue this season (although it may be already). The time for p**s poor excuses is over, lets have some action.

C/O a deluded Brummie fan!

Is it me or does one sentence contradict the other?

I suppose Freddie's huge wages might tempt you but for how much longer can he bankroll them when the fans are starting to drop away. I know it was only Bolton yesterday and it was on tv but people who turn out in their thousands just to see a new player signing don't give up that easily on their team, so the fan drop-off indicates that the situation that the club is starting to get itself into is fairly dire.

Surely something to that effect was implied?

Anyway, whatever you think, I'm sure we are all agreed that Newcastle is a step back for Lucas Neill. What a horrible set of circumstances they are in! Huge debt, a squad full of overpaid under-performing/injured players, set for a relegation battle, and managed by a very average manager to boot.

Amongst other things.

What happens when the club badge changes?

Then it's a "vintage club badge".

Bellamy has barely done us any harm. Really, Liverpool have had a few chances but have done nothing with them. They have had two serious attempts which forced Friedel into a diving save and Khizanishvili clearing off the goal line, but everything else has been easy enough to handle.

We have been strutting our stuff on the counter, which is why Liverpool have been dominating.

Noteable performers are Friedel, Emerton, Bentley, and the one and only McCarthy, and a couple of others could definitely be included. Most play has been channeled through Bentley on the right.

That boy knows how to finish!

Well done Benni!

I thought this was funny.

Ah, my favourite show. Brilliant stuff as always. They do some nice parodies of British comedy, too.

I liked the

Because he is now 21, so he is no longer under 21, i presume that is why

He's 22 years old as of August (27?). I'm not sure if he's eligible because I don't know when the current tournament started.

Anyway, he has only played four under 21 games, so it is not unusual for him to be absent from the team.

I can see this game going Liverpool's way with a 1-0 result. Probably off a controversial decision. Boo.

In related news, it's the first time I've predicted defeat this season. I tried hard to fight it off, but the Rovers Pessimism Syndrome is starting to take effect.

If the game finishes and all our players still have their limbs in tact that will be an added bonus!

When will this reputation ever be shaken off? Cheeky work colleague!

Ah well, nice preview anyway. Apart from the interview.

Having seen it again (presuming you are talking about the one of Pedersen) he wasnt the last defender.

Although at the time I was livid.

I haven't seen the highlights, but I thought that the rule actually states a red card for a situation where someone is fouled in a clear goal scoring opportunity, regardless whether it is the last defender who fouled or not.

Anyway, top win Rovers! Can't wait to see the highlights. Benley sounds like he's scored another great goal.

Rovers 67% of possession at the moment.

Roberts! ... Saved by Kirkland.

Peter Jackson Man of the Match is awarded to Lucas Neill.

McCarthy!!! "Benni McCarthy (clap, clap, clap)" chant the fans!

Brown makes three saves!!! Champion!

Wigan have won a penalty.

That man Robbie Savage knows how to take a free kick.

Jason Brown replaces Superman.

Bentley!!! VRRROOOOOOOOOMMMMM.

Heskey. :(

0-1 to Wigan.

It will probably be 1-0 to the Rovers and Nonda to come up with the goods. This is a game where we require three points if we are going to push on for a top six finish, and it is certainly a game I think we can win. 18888 fans will view a respectable performance. The referee will surprisingly do a good job. Just for a change.

How good is this....

Andre Ooijer given Man Of The Match!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I always knew he would come good, did he deserve the MOTM?

Heard your question on Radio Rovers.

Bentley scores stunning goal!

McCarthy!!!

2-0. Nonda and McCarthy.
