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

I can understand people having a negative opinion with regards to his managerial knowledge. But why is everyone so bothered about him having an affair???

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.

if you were in an unhappy relationship and the chance to shag the most beautifulest female speciman that came across your path you would turn it down on the basis your a teacher ?

I should hope so, especially if it was a secondary school and even more so if my daughter were in attendance at this institution.

get a grip pal.

What, maintain his integrity, you mean?

every man worth his salt int he same situation would have his tongue and todger ready at an instant !

Woof!

The fact that he has a shagability rating much higher than the rest of us makes no mockery at all at [*]his ability to manage the England football team.

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 you are shagging several females it doesn't take your ability to teach away.

If these several females were all in your class, I think it probably would affect your ability to educate them effectively.

in fact I would say a healthy sex life maeks jack a happy boy, work hard play hard.

he has obviously got something about him to make the beauties fall at his feet and every credit to him.

Go on, shagger Sven!

if you cannot see my point you obviously bat for the other side or have the most gorgeous female companion alongside you to keep you company.

Yeah, but teacher and England manager are two very different jobs.

Is Short injured?

That would be par for the course...

He didn't feature yesterday (in the starting line-up at any rate) against Bury either.

My man in the stands also seems to be of the impression that Dwight Yorke has been our best player.........

Hope he impresses enough so that we can get rid of him...

Perhaps he will take the eye of the Stockport manager.

There is a power cut in the press box at Stockport and therefore no radio commentry.

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.

beats me how a Mr Burns look-a-like can get these women in to bed...

£4m a year?

''My point still stands, Blackburn is not a footballing town IMHO. Incidently I wouldn't say Middlesbrough is either.''

I'm REALLY trying to understand that comment Dave.What constitutes a footballing town then in your opinion?..........

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.

So Clint, will you be taking the Carpets back on the road now that you've given the LET the shove?

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 football and the club will just come and enjoy a day on the ale with fellow supporters, sing a few songs and have a real party despite not having a ticket.

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

well i just got up "voiceless" and having not trolled through the pages yet on last night all i can say is the CELTIC"HYPE" about hairs standing up on the back of your neck,we can sing alls we want but blackburn wont be heard in a cauldron of noise is like DON KING bullshit.

"cauldron"???if thats a cauldron then the witches must have been trick or treating,it hurts me to say this but ive honeslty heard more noise in bumleys dingledome and nobends weedale.

"Hairs stand up on back of your neck" well im going bald but my scalp never in itched.

WELL DONE ROVERS FANS ....AS FOR CELTIC ...YOU ONLY SING WHEN YOUR WINNING.

ITS ONLY HALF TIME COME ON YOU BLUES.

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