Thank f*%k he left us when he did. A few more bad results may of left Mr. Williams in similar position. I don't then we'd of had the cash for Savage, Bellamy and co.

With only 2 recognised strikers remaining, maybe not eh?

I hope they weren't calling us inbred today.

On the BBC he seemed more interested in praising Tugay's performance. As if he has pointing out 'I signed him'. If he was still with us I think Tugay would of retired by now.

Does anyone know what 'div ant nar' means?

That too was a slam dunkin' win.

Absolute genius. I've just spent the best part of half an hour with my mates Fergie, Jose, Arsene and Barry.

Funny that.

Is this true! Sparky's contract is up at the end of the season! Come on rovers get this situation sorted now. Too long have we been waiting for a manager of this pedigree. Please lets not be the laughing stock of the footballing world by letting him go without giving it our very best to keep him.

Right you are but for his wages i'd play in a wheelchair.

If Dickov's injury is collar bone it wil be pinned and plated in the next couple of days. He should be back in action within a month. I did mine in 3 places 18 months ago, still hurts but was fine to play football within a month.

With Bellamy and Bentley suspended and todd ill the team should pick itself: Friedel Neill Nelson Zurab Gray Reid Tugay Savage Pedersen Dickov Kuqi Subs: Enckelman, Matteo, Oh Mokoena, Peter, Emerton, J Johnson Looks like we could be thin on the bench.

A crime is a crime!

Reid seems to be coming on very nicely. I feel that this is the best we have seen of him thus far. Some nice strong midfield play yesterday. Let's keep encouraging him and hopefully we'll see more results. A good effort and improvement so far this season.

Could always remove the seats and replace with beenie bags and those little plastic balls.

We probably would be better off letting them in for nothing. But I for one would rather they had their own area or at least a choice. If they want to sit with Mum or Dad fine but, I'm sure many kids especially teenagers would rather sit with their mates. Then they could smoke their cigarettes and kick their coke cans down the emergency exits as much as they wanted. Rovers marketing could do with picking up on this too. Imagine how many ice lollies, sweets etc thay could sell at Uncle Jacks tuck shop. Particularly if thay branched out into cigarettes and alco pops. It's not as if we are tight on space in the stadium.

I've said it once and I'll say it again, I don't doubt Pedersen's talents (although some new ones have been put forward on this thread, ie Pires) but, we need to find a way of putting this talent to better use. He simply cannot either beat his full back or put a cross of real quality into the middle which is his job. That is why others and myself have suggested a change of position to attacking midfielder or to a forward position (Solsjaer, Dalglish etc), simply because it's only when he's in the penalty area that he comes to life.

Quite right it's purely just good business. That money in sparky's hands would go along way.

It's going to be difficult to pick you out in the crowd now Scott. Perhaps if you wear a Saint Georges Flag to the next game with the intials BWFC on it I'll be able to recognise you.

Older than before then?

Is that not the 'dead badgers' den in your case Scott!

I've yet to read anyone slating Pedersen. We all see his obvious talent in front of goal but, we need more from him. The answer to that seems to be a change of position to maximise his impact in games and get more from the left wing position.

Don't forget that Saha plays for one of the top clubs in the top league in the world. Player's don't end up in that position by accident. His off the ball run which lead to the goal was without doubt worldclass and in my view you couldn't defend against it. If anything we should of been quicker to close down Giggs and stop him running at our back four.

Totally agree with you. The Kids need their own permanent seating area away from adults and get in for a quid or something. Like Liverpool did in the 50s and 60s with a junior kop. Bottom tier Jack Walker Darwen side is my suggestion with Rod, Jane and Freddie as stewards. Imagine Mourniho or Fergie taking a load of @#/? off the 8 to 14 year old fratutity.

Looks as though this lad has his head screwed on.
