Some form of the word Longsider in user names does show a lack of originality from us Dingles.But check your own list how many people thought adding the word Blue to their place of residence was a novel idea.

Preston Blue

Accy Blue

Aberdeen Blue

Baxenden Blue

Manchester Blue

USA Blue

The list is endless.It is hardly Brain of Britain stuff----not even Brain of Blackburn

Hope the Blues and the Longsiders all turn up at Deadwood ,the place will be jammers.Oh i should add all the Zaks,Sams and Butchs.

Hey! What about me, Dingle?

The BEST draw we could have possibly hoped for!!

Arsenal v Man Utd would have been nice.

With luck, that will be a semi final, with Rovers v Newcastle/Spurs the other.

Or am I getting ahead of myself?

Speedie for me. Tenacious little bugger.

That season was amazing. A proper rollercoaster ride, culminating in play-off glory at Wembley stadium, no less.

The Scottish guy just keeps shouting over the top of the other one whenever he feels like it. I bet the other guy wants to belt him.

You forgot:

9. Pay on the gate in attempt to shift unsold tickets.

I'm so pumped about this

You've farted?

Well I don't think he'll be winning many more tin pots in Glasgow as long as O'Neill and McLeish remain in their respective roles.

At least we got our £5m. That's what I asked for the second he handed in his request.

Dingle on Radio Lancs 5 mins back: "...it will be worse than Baghdad, the place will be far more smashed up".

Unless we let them win?

Don't worry USA.

We have had bragging rights for 26 years. It's only right and proper that we should have to defend them every now and again.

It was a walk over last time. Have Burnley's squad got appreciably better since then? Has ours got that much worse? The worst I see happening is a draw and the Turd and back to Ewood to finish them off.

Even a draw for Burnley would represent their best result against the Rovers for 26 years.

No. Savage was suspended for Birmingham's third round game against Leeds if I recall correctly.

Hang on. How can he possibly be cup-tied? He played on Saturday!

Now then.

The last time we met our dear neighbours in the FA Cup we made it all the way to the final.

what about those other greats:-

Martin Dahlin

Kabba Diawara

Kevin Davies

Egil Oestanstad

how many goals have they scored between them?

Dahlin: 6 from 15 (+14 sub appearances) at 0.21 goals per game

Diawara: 1 from 2 (4) at 0.14 gpg

Lardass: 2 from 18 (12) at 0.07 gpg

Egil: 13 from 48 (33) at 0.16 gpg

Not pretty, is it?

Might I add...

Corrado "Floppy haired Italian no-mark" Grabbi: 5 from 16 (15) at 0.16 gpg

Bryan.

I notice with interest that a certain Irish left-footer has been omitted, Trotsky-style, from Chelsea's midfield options.

Perhaps he's implying that all Celtic fans are overweight.

With regard to the rumour about Michael Ball being offered as a makeweight in Rangers offer for Ferguson. PLEASE GOD!! DO NOT ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN !

Absolutely. We'll have no M.O.R. faux-pop opera singers turning out in the blue and white halves while I'm a regular at Ewood Park.

There was clear contact - the only person who was cheating was that goalkeeper. It should of been a straight red he stop a clear goal scoring opportunity.

I don't know how you managed to convince yourself that there was contact. There is none clearly visible on any of the angles.

It was not a clear goalscoring opportunity as the ball was going either out of play or so wide that he wouldn't have been able to slot it in. That's why he decided to go about impressing the judges.

wives always have the final say . . . don't they ??

Well, now we know who wears the trousers at Jim's place.

Indeed. At least one striker and a midfielder of better standard than those currently on the books need to be signed up in the next few days.

we didnt miss him last night

Hello? Earth calling T4E...

the University is regardly very highly by industry

Is that what they told you in the prospectus?

And you believed them?

You want a proper red-brick University, mate.

i thought the referee had a good game, and made only 1 wrong call, which unfortunately cost us the game.

The referee had already screwed up the first major decision of the evening before he awarded the penalty; the challenge from Nolan on Savage was x-rated and clearly warranted a red card.

Why do we need the @#/? Dickov? 7 Goals all season from a player whos our number 1 striker is pretty damm poor, your all acting as if Dickov is a top striker. Our entire strike force is Division one standard fact.

@#/? as he may be (disagree with that, myself), Mr Dickov stands head and shoulders above anyone else on the playing staff who has the nerve to describe themselves as a striker.

That seems fair enough.

But, if they do come up with the cash, we have little time to procure any kind of replacement (the money would be best spent on a striker, obviously).

We can tell you're looking forward to it, waggy.

Ferguson hasn't just asked for a transfer he's demanded a transfer to just one club, one that he knows can't afford to repay the fee they got for him in the first place.

He is wilfully trying to rip off the club (and therefore the paying fans) for millions of pounds. He deserves everything he gets.

I believe that Ferguson expected Rangers to come in with a sensible bid. So far such a bid has not been forthcoming. There is no way that Ferguson would expect the board to accept the offer Rangers made.

He's not "wilfully trying to rip off the club". He has told the board that he would like to move back to Rangers. That's all.
