Thought Nonda looked pertty good on first viewing and Gallagher must be the scruffiest player in the prem.

thats all

Rovers to finally get their s**t together. 3-1 Jeffers, Mcarthy & Neill with cheeky wee Paul Dickov nutting one in as a consolation.

PLease could someome PM me with the link, I've installed the TVANTS S/W but I'm not sure where to go next - thanks

Thought there was a nasty big space in the middle of our midfield with chelsea players wandering about in it. Reid and Savage very poor today. Obviously they were playing against a top midfield, but they gave the ball away so often when they did have it, we're in deep doo doo if they can't get it together.

However, overall we did well and I was very disapointed by chelsea, not for the first time, all that cash, all those players, but where's the football? Fancy spending £1000 for a season ticket to watch that every week, jesus.

After Everton scorred last night everything went quiet for a while, it seemed like people were waiting for the drummers to start-up, which they didn't for ages, so it stayed quiet.

I know we're not the noisiest home crowd in the prem but we used to make a fair bit of noise before we had the drummers and there seemed to be more variety in chants etc.

Good news - now he can get himself sent-off properly against Everton

Rovers 3 NZ 0

Jimmy Cliff - The Harder They Come (or You Can Get It If You Really Want)

me too

Haven't had time to look back through everyone's messages today, so sorry if this is a repeat, but I just wanted to say I thought Lucas was fantastic last night (altho some of his forward runs made me a little uneasy).

If he can keep that up next season Neill and Nelson might make a brilliant partnership at the centre of defence.

Birmingham City Facts

•The Brum were formed as a club known as Small Heath Alliance in the same year as we were formed in 1875

Surely they were called BIG Heath Alliance

For god's sake.  Read my post again.  If, for one second, you are suggesting that MGP has been as influential as Duff was before he was sold, then you're crazy, or stupid.

I didn't say he's been as influential as Duff was, but I did say that comparing the Duff of this season with the MGP of this season I might well go with MGP.

Clearly if Duff came back and recaptured his old form there wouldn't be many players who could hold a candle to him.

chill

What is it with the angry smiley?  I have said in the same post that you have quoted that I would have reservations over selling somebody who is as influential as MGP.

Apologies tcj - wasn't angry at you, I did notice that you expressed your reservations. Was just letting off a bit of steam generally. There seem to be too many people not too upset at the idea of letting MGP go, sometimes you have to wonder what a player has to do to at Rovers to get appreciated....oh no, here I go again...

Anyway..... Someone who works at Ewood told me Scholes was at the game on Saturday, and after taking an eternity to believe him I thought it was potentially to look at either MGP or Reid, and it looks true.

Scholes was also at the Breezeblok, apparently looking at Nolan for Man U - they're after a central midfielder to replace Keen, so it seems more likely that it was Reid he was watching, not MGP.

MGP is influential, but not even in the same league as Duff.

Look at Duff this season and MGP this season, who would you rather have?

(...I'd love to have Duff back but not replacing MGP)

Imagine a combined offer of 15million for Reid and Pedersen.  That, plus any additional money, could see us compete for European football on a regular basis.

However, I have reservations over selling Pedersen, even for a large sum.  He has been extremely influential this season.

Having players like Pedersen in the team is what will see us compete for European football on a regular basis.

Ok so if we sold him we might then be able to spend some cash on someone similar, then it'll take another year to 18 months to get them integrated into the team like Pedersen has. Unless you're very lucky you can't drop players into a team and just expect them to gel.

We're supposed to be building a team here not just deciding which sweeties we'd like off the shelf - ok so its easier to build a team if you can spend some money, but you dont make a start, then chuck away a chunk of what you've done and go back to the beginning again. Jesus!

And another thing....we're all concerned about poor gates, well they won't get any better if we get rid of our best and most popular players.

Well, a pipe n' drum band would be nice wouldn't it? On a serious note, I was thinking along the lines of: A trumpet or two, a drum or two. That kind of thing....

Bagpipes..hmm now theres a thought...

I would rather have a band of some kind (like the one they used to have at Sheff Wed (do they still have it btw?))

That would be the band which could only play two tunes (Great Escape & Dambusters) over and over again and drove everyone mad.

A mate at work is the Worlds biggest Wrexham fan and has promised to keep me updated on his performances.

How big is he?

Don't know if anyone has posted this, but an interesting take on Savage in today's times...

Robbies little linky

...the ladyboy similar to Tim Sherwood???

funniest thing I've read on the MB for ages

Everyone else wants to know, though I'm trying to avoid the topic: Souness out?

hhmmm not just souness but the rest of his muppets, how many hamstring injurys can one club have, honestly though, the tide is turning on him, people have backed him, the media have a pop at fans booing and calling for his head, yes, its happened but most anger is directed at Shepherd, but i think unless we win on sunday we will be looking for a gaffer by monday

Don't know if anyone else picked this up ,but the bit about hamstrings is interesting. You could well have said the same at thimes when GS was at Rovers.

Come on - we can still win this!

...funny how you never see the two of them together

listened to the game on 5Live - the first mention of Emerton was 30mins into the second half and you'd never have known that Bellamy was on the pitch. Kuqi sounded ok, mistified by the substitutions!

still, its a fair way to go yet, lets just put this behind us and start again next week - please!
