It's more like a morgue with an atmosphere (but one of the 20% oxygen, 79% nitrogen variety).

Because it represents a brilliant opportunity to push the useless one out of the door, c.f. Glenn Hoddle and his previous life nonsense. And not before time, IMHO. All he has ever done is get us through groups that we were seeded to get through in the first place.

I should hope so, especially if it was a secondary school and even more so if my daughter were in attendance at this institution. What, maintain his integrity, you mean? Woof! I accept that these two factors are probably exclusive to one another, but I think it's a good opportunity to get rid, because [*] just ain't working. If these several females were all in your class, I think it probably would affect your ability to educate them effectively. Go on, shagger Sven! Yeah, but teacher and England manager are two very different jobs.

That would be par for the course... He didn't feature yesterday (in the starting line-up at any rate) against Bury either.

Hope he impresses enough so that we can get rid of him... Perhaps he will take the eye of the Stockport manager.

Out of interest, how are you privy to that information in Frome?

It (the Radio Rovers online stream) made a funny noise when the second half was due to start, and I haven't heard a peep since.

It's just like the Clinton-Lewinski scandal all over again. I did not have sexual relations with that woman... Er, yes I did actually. Impeach him, I say.

Ooops... A jubilant Andy Cole is still visible on the Rovers World header. Sort it out Mr Grooby. Wipe him out, Trotsky-style.

£4m a year?

Somewhere that lives/eats/breathes football, know it's not a town but Newcastle always springs to mind as an instant example. I remember when Newcastle nearly went out of business in the mid-80's, treading water in the old third division and averaging gates of 12-13K. Fairweather? I think so. Fact is there's bog all else to do in Newcastle either.

Now that's funny!

The last two LPs by The Flaming Lips are superb (The Soft Bulletin, Yoshimi...). It seems it took them nearly 20 years to hone their sound, but they've arrived. Always loved the Pixies. Still a big fan of Frank Black (2000's Dog In The Sand is a truly superb album). Pixies fans check out Bowie's cover of 'Cactus' from Surfer Rosa on the Heathen LP. The song is taken to a different plane! I love Bowie, too. A band that have not been mentioned here at all are the fantastic Super Furry Animals, the best British band around at the moment, in my opinion. Radiator is my favourite album of theirs. New one out soon. If anyone gets the chance to see The Darkness live, take it. What a scream! Honourable mentions for Mogwai, Death In Vegas, Radio 4 and Goldfrapp.

Ticketless fans with a passion for going out on the @#/?, more like.

Looks as though they're trying to keep everyone in one place and keep an eye on them. If coaches are travelling down full of supporters with no tickets, and all coaches are to be parked at the Darwen End, this means all the ticketless fans will have to make their way to the ground for the end of the match. Does this mean all the pubs round Ewood that are open will be full of Celtic fans watching the game? I really do not understand people travelling without tickets. All the touting will have been done already in Glasgow.

I would have thought the last thing a season ticket holder would do is buy a ticket and sell it to a 'wegie. I can't understand that policy, to be honest. It makes me hanker for the days when you could decide whether to go an hour and a half before the kick-off and meet all your mates by pillar 4.

That's got to be one of the most eloquent rants I've ever seen. Well played, sir.

That could have been penned by Revidge himself!
