the sooner England get rid of McClaren the better. He looks absolutely clueless and somehow the team looks even worse under him than under Sven.

i'm happy for him, he deserves it as he's really be doing well as of late. Bentley should be getting picked for the senior squad though.

I know he might be a risky buy, but I don't care right now, I'm absolutely delighted to have Dunn back. We need a true Rover in the team.

disaster.

YES !!!!!!! BENTLEY 4 ENGLAND !! :D Very needed 3 points...should come in handy as we'll get destroyed the next two games.

the 2nd part of that was meant for the linesman finally they allow us to score, i bet he was tempted to disallow that as well C'mon another one

the linesman can take that flag and insert it where the sun don't shine. 2 games = 4 disallowed goals vs Rovers.

how anyone can defend our defending is beyond me. you could drive a bus through that hole. completely worthless.

The sooner we get rid of Ooijer the better, he just can't stop anyone.

this is the one offside rule that I utterly detest. I disagreed with it at the world cup, and I disagree with it today. I think it should be scraped.

typical, probably the hardest draw. still, Leverkusen have been in a very bad form the past couple of seasons, we should be looking to beat them.

I don't want Fenerbahche or Leverkusen, the others we can take with ease.

I think this will be an excellent move, my only worry is the same as everyones - how many games will he stay injury-free ?

heh we're cruising in UEFA but worthless in the premiership a true english team, if there ever was one.

why yes, chelski, it is your team spirit that makes you such a great team, not that EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOUR PLAYERS COST MORE THAN A SMALL COUNTRY And what the hell does Diver Terry know about "what it was like at Blackburn" ??

we have no choice here, Arsenal and Pool are to come next, we MUST win under all conditions. It's hard to see how it will happen but we just have to do it.

we should put on the reserves and youngsters and see how they do, hopefully someone can make a claim for the first team.

just read Hughes comments for the game, and for the first time I'll allow myself to have a go at him. positives ?! what positives ??? We're being thumped left and right by every below-average team, yet again "decisions" didn't go our way, luck, and of course my favorite "we'll be ok if we play like this...", etc, etc Well this is how it goes at Rovers. The reffs will always hate us, "lady luck" ain't gonna comeback no matter how long we wait, as Souness can atest. Things aren't going to change by themselves, and we can take our "positives" to the Championship the way we're going. I think he and a lot of the players need to realize just how serious the situation is getting, and that drastic changes are needed.

the only thing we have to be thankful for that there are atleast 2-3 teams that are also as sh*t as us, as the Hammers showed tonight. Of course, they beat us whenever they please too, though.

we need Todd, because he ca actually fight for the damn ball. We should have never sold Dickov too, who ran himself to the ground every single time he put on a Rovers shirt. This is the type of players we need now. We need to play ugly, dirty football but atleast get some damn points on the board and you know, not get relegated.

misery, misery, misery

c'mon, c'mon.....

what we need most of all is FIGHT. we need players who are willing to get down and grind out the results, no matter what it takes or whatever anyone else thinks of us.

I must admit, things are beginning to hint that way.

i don't get it. countless of penalties, red cards and what not this season...this should at least mean we are a hard, dirty team that isn't afraid to grind out the results. but in fact, we're the opposite. we have the worst disciplinary record AND a lifeless team. wtf
