Come on Rovers... I dont have many nails left now. Another 20 mins of this and I'll be chewing my toes!!!

Bentley should have had his fourth!!!

Ar$e... White Van Horsey Face has scored!!! Andy Todd mistake...

Welshie!!! You're behind mate... it's 4-1 and Bentley hat-trick!!!

Don't pinch me... I'm loving this!!!

Oh my GOD!!! Am I dreaming???

I hate Man Utd, I hate Ferguson, I hate Van Horseyface and I hate Graham Poll. I might consider writing a letter to Keith Hackett at Ref's HQ and complain about Graham Poll's vision being blurred tonight due to the Moan Utd scarf he had round his neck!

Apologies for my last post!!! Passion got the better of me!

W**KERS, W**KERS, W**KERS!!!!

So much time wasting from Moan Utd

Emo for Kuqi???

Is Bentley actualy involved in this game... he's been completely annonimous!!

What was Tuggs doing??? Too much dwelling on the ball... not for the first time this season either.

Did Zurab not learn from the first handball. He almost gave another penalty away. Great save Brad... again!!!

Paul Jewell, Kevin Moran and Jason McAteer on Sky saying it was never a penalty!!!

Scrap between Van Horseyface and Savage apparently. Considering Savage was the first down the tunnel I can only guess either he waited for Van Horsey or Ruuuuuud chased after him. Get AXE in to the mix!!!

Brad is GOD!!!!

I'll be cheering on the Blue'n'Whites tonight in the hope for a Blackburn/Wigan final. What do people think about switching the final to OT should Rovers make it through tonight?

Paul Gallagher will NOT be cup-tied if they recall him from Stoke. He played in the FA Cup but not in the League Cup. Sky Sports reporting a doubt over Craig Bellamy's fitness http://home.skysports.com/list.asp?hlid=35...;+Bellamy+worry www.rovers.co.uk are saying that he may not be risked from the start

With the sale of Butt last year, the departure of Keane and Young Plug Neville high tailing it to Everton, I'm surprised that RFW hasnt brought in a new top class central midfielder. Also leaving OT recently from that position is Kleberson too. No biggy there though.

RFW's hesitancy is our gain!!! http://home.skysports.com/list.asp?hlid=35...+GAMST+INTEREST

In addition, word out of OT is that along with Scholes, Smith and O'Shea are out of Wednesday's match too. Who else have they got to fill the midfield roles alongside Giggs and Fletcher? Maybe bring Rooney back there with Saha and Rudd White Van up front???

Latest News: "Rovers are boosted by the news that Todd, Bellamy and Bentley are all in the squad for tomorrow's Carling Cup tie. Paul Dickov is expected to be out for 4-6 weeks". Personally I'd like Zurab to retain his place instead of bringing Toddy back.

The league records between Hughes and Souness since they became managers at their current clubs isnt that different... Souness Played 56, won 17, drawn 17, lost 22, pts 68 Sparky Played 55, won 19, drawn 17, lost 19, pts 74 In that time however, Hughes has taken the mighty blue'n'whites to two major cup semi-finals and the team is on the up. Souness however, apart from the UEFA & FA Cup runs last year, has taken a better than average Toon Army and has turned them into a worse than ordinary outfit. I know £5m is a lot of compensation, but weigh it up against relegation Mr Shepherd!!!

SportingLife are reporting that the meeting between Souness and Shepherd had been 'upbeat' and he remains in his job. Let's hope Cheltenham can be the knife twisters this weekend!!!
