Makes a change from him imitating a right back

Nice pics Ricky, cheers mate. Gutted I missed it. Smashed my motor up last week (frigging taxi's) and was advised not to travel West Brom on Saturday can't come quick enough.

Anyone watching sky news earlier? Interviewed some elderly lady who stated "he's a lovely lad, wouldn't hurt a fly". Who cares about bloody flies, look what he's done you senile wench

I can't be arsed (at least I'm honest). An awful lot will depend on the fitness of a few key players, one of those being De Pedro. If injuries and lady luck treat us nicely I can see us finishing 8th. I'm not sure who I want to win the league, dislike all the main contenders. Maybe Chelsea then we aren't the only team that 'bought the title'

Cowardly scum @#/?, hope he rots in there. Tugay was lucky he didn't end up 10ft under too

Get into em (followed by inventive drum beat).

We got a nice little escort wherever we went all day. TO be fair though the Preston police were decent enough, if not a little OTT.

Credit goes to PNE for the posters of the fine looking females above the pissers, nice touch

If you can see Darwen tower clap your hands......... That's all I have to say.

Reckon we'll have 2k plus out tomorrow, combination of sun and withdrawl symptoms. Can't bloody wait, bit sad for a friendly but who gives one?

10 or so of us are heading over on a train from Bburn around 10.30, not checked times yet. Is there anywhere with a decent beer garden?! Could do with one if the sun's out again

One thing Yorke is good at, if he puts his mind to it, is creating chances. POTENTIALLY him and Stead could be a very good partnership, just a case of whether or not he's got the desire.

Matteo's putting in a MOTM performance so far.

I'd say the line-up is pretty much irrelevant at this stage, Sporting and Bray will probably see the final plan coming together.

Well I went and queued up after work last night and was quite alarmed when the lass behind the counter demanded ticket stubs from Celtic away, Trelleborgs away and a pair of Dean Saunders socks, due to high demand. I was left disgruntled to say the least. Well done Rovers, that's one less fan you'll have in Ireland.

Not sure if it's been reported yet, probably has, but just read about Tugay getting knocked of fhis bike last night and the driver fleeing the scene. Scum of the earth the people who do that

It's a pre-season bloody friendly for Christs sake. Saunders took a penalty last season

Why does it look like that? Fergie will take the Penalties next year, but like you say we'll probably never get one. I don't think Ferguson is going anywhere near a penalty if we get one after the two he missed in one game for Rangers. Probably will be Amoruso. And what about the hatful of others he scored?

He did actually. He was very critical of the training setup, and rightly so at first.

Quality We seem to lose a decent player every close season and lets face it Coles not up there with Duff or Shearer. Life goes on. I'll remain an Andy Cole fan, except of course when we play Fulham. At the end of the day he got to the stage where he couldn't work with his boss, I've been in the same boat, either I walked or clouted him.

Odd formation, we finally get a left winger and we play him on the right? Oh I see, Dean Saunders wants to?

Exactly, if it was a well known player then one of the lads in Germany would have recognised him. Either way it's no big deal, we have trialists at Brockhall every bloody week

whats the women doing with her left hand? Inspecting the emboidery of his exclusive Lonsdale robe, why?

Finally, it's clicked Talk about gullible
