its funny, Radio Rovers Commentators were saying Brett was playing well first half.

By his usual standards I guess he did play 'ok', nothing more than that though. He's still terrified of the touchline.

you taking the ###### dave?

his corners were diabolical, his cut back for shorts acrobatic shot was nothing short of a ###### disgrace, i could do better.

sooner hes dropped the better

p.s. did u go heys

I was being slightly sarcastic which is why I said 'by his usual standard', I think he completed 1 pass in the 1st half.

In fact Craig Short showed more ability to beat a man than Emerton with his cheeky drop of the shoulder which resulted in him being hacked down.

Yes I did, quite a few in last night.

was a top run by short! till he got took out

i was in near big screen with old blue away top on

was well busy

Bit sad when your aging centre-half produces the brightest bit of skill for your team all game though eh?

I was sat in the main set of seats facing the big screen with the usual suspects. Half of Ossy must have been in there last night

Fabregas is gonna be a star, same applies to Reyes, to be honest I think Wenger could turn Grabbi into a world beater, how does he do it?

Well, for one he teaches his players how too excel at what they are best at, but most importantly gives them faith in their own ability and gives them CONFIDENCE.

He also seems to know exactly how his team are meant to play, and never sways from his beliefs. He's a man on a mission.

That's true enough mate.

I know he'll never manage Rovers but I'd love the FA to persuade him to take the England job one day. But then that's just dreaming

Class.

Pace.

Power.

The Manager.

The Tactics.

And more importantly............

TEAM SPIRIT.

Arsenal have it all, by FAR the most complete team the premiership has ever, ever seen. Rather than slag Rovers off I'd rather give credit to Arsenal on this thread.

End of the day we must aim to kill united off in the first half and we ARE capable.

There's a reason Gally is out of favour, part of the same reason Flitcroft is.

I'm not stupid enough to post it on here though.

Morten Stanley Pedersen

Was he not sentanced to imprisonment at Slade prison under the control of Mr Mackay ?

No I think that was Andy Todd

Right so, just to clarify.

Morten Stanley Pedersen won't require a work permit to play for us because Tottenham are part of the EU?

Or more importantly, WHERE'S TODD?!?!?!?!

hes NORWEIGAN for christ sake

did Berg?

Oh ######, there was me thinking he was NORWEGIAN.

Berg didn't require one because he had a bulldog called Winston and he liked black pudding.

Don't think it's been mentioned previously on this thread so I feel the need to ask:

Anyone know if MGP will require a work permit?

Referee: Chris Foy (Lancashire). Too picky - Rating: 5

lancs ref?cant be right can it?

Well at least we're safe in the knowledge he ain't a dingle, the yorkshire swamp inhabitants.

and the pic of dom matteo is cracking me up. he looks so uncomfortable, he must have been scared shitless by you lot. And i believe thats lucas neill sitting in the corner doing an impression of a tramp.

Makes a change from him imitating a right back

Just put pics on Truprint site but they don't seem to be open for all to view. I'll try another site in a minute.

Try Here

That seems to work, didn't get many pics and the ones I did get seem to get quite blurred as the night went on.

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).

me and few others took a smack or 2 near train station from nob enders. had to get police escort

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.
