amen theny amen

Johnson due to come on. just to keep Jim happy

Dafoe on the bench, Keane starts. Spurs need to score a hatfull to get european football. hmmmmm

no we say you support rovers, not madrid

Should be on the Glazier thread.

shush - also my Missus wont let me and I have a note from my Mum Ive splintered my Pancreas I would have bothered if it was a weekend - honest

Chuckle?? Maybe Im missing some deep meaning and a threat to Football as a whole - but I am honestly finding this whole thing teh funniest thing thats happened in Football since Birmingham claimed they were a big club

my excuse is that I have to work that day and the day after so I cant afford the time off. gutted absolutely gutted

I know its hillarious

wow hadnt realised he was playing for birmingham

Hmm tactical editing by moderators – isn’t life great

services rendered???

Where’s McEveley at the moment? On loan, injured, sold or just not good enough?

anyone else as gob smacked as I was that a) Stead Scored (with a header no less) but more amazingly b ) Emerton hit a peach of a cross for the goal (must have been a miss hit)

so we could have had 0 points from 9 (possibly )

It would have been nice to draw against middlesboro at home

dear god - ones enough Definately like the beach idea

the stewards were great at Spurs last season be nice - they'l be facists at St Andrews - I like a Beach theme - get to get my legs out again. Muhahahahaha

undecided , ill give him until about November next year - see how hes done with preseason

In regard to match winning performance - yes you are right - Im an arse - meant match changing - felt like a win for some reason

Match winning? he came on and changed the game for us - its him who I am holding up for the man who allowed us to win

Ive heard that Barry ferguson up at Rangers can pass a bit, im sure hes wanting to prove hes better than that Sunday Pub League

Have to say, I really enjoyed last nights game - the fans that had managed to get to the game were loud and good humoured. The game itself was one of the most enjoyable ive been to as a fan for a while. 1st half - Nelsen gave away a stupid free kick and we were punished, Emerton and Neill were useles, Reid was average and Pederson was keen. Savage I have to say was very good, Axe broke up the Baggies fairly well. Stead ran his heart out, I still cant understand how it didnt go in. Pederson's free kicks were woefull, leave em to Savage mate. 2nd half and a downpour - Steve Bennett begins handing out yellow cards for tackles that wouldnt get a freekick 1st half - I think because he wanted to protect the players from injury from an "over enthusiastic/lethal" sliding tackle, once the rain stopped, so did the cards - good reffing - Rovers were still a bit flat however probing runs from Pederson and some runs and then run backs from Emerton did show a glimmer of hope. Enter the Turkish delight. I hold my hands up - i thought tugs was past it - dear god he ran the show, popping passes like a couple of seasons ago - Baggies gave him space and god did he punish them. All of a sudden Rovers were a different team spreading play from flank to flank - Pederson who was realling irritating me at this point with his crap passing/crossing tehn proves me wrong by hitting a sweet low cross that Stead "dummied" (compleatly missed) and drew the defenders to him, leaving Emerton to control and hit a sweet shot past Hoult into the top corner of the net. Cue celebrations from the Rovers fans. I still think Emerton tried to cross the ball and miss hit it as that was too good a shot for him to have actually meant it . With a visibly more confident rovers playing as well as I've seen this season I still cant believe that we didnt get a second. Gally came on for a visibly tiring Savage, rovers went to a 4-4-2 and then the Ref blew for FT. MoM - Stead for his tireless running or Tugay for his match winning contribution other points - Emerton was bloody irritating as usual, good goal though, Neil was a liability but Matteo was very impressive at left back - seriously, defensively he's great passing wise and offensively not the best, but as a defender he was very good. Baggies should have had a penalty for Todd rugby tackling campbell in the box

Plus they have 2 or three players who will cause us a lot of trouble. No way did they deserve to lose 4-0 on Saturday, to be honest it’s a game they should have won. The good news is that they HAVE to attack us so we can hit them on the break – if we bring our shooting boots (which is unlikely) Im going for a 2-1 win to the baggies.
