Thoroughly enjoyable. cheers Bob.

I will argue black and blue when we are playing against each other in any sport that we are better but I would hope we could have a beer after the game and have a laugh.

Mate, I’m not beating on Australians here so don’t get in a tizz but …

…don’t you have the capacity to admit you mightn’t be the best every single time? This idea that ‘Aussie is the best and I’ll never admit anything else’ is a myopia which baffles me.

And once again because I know that you are a sensitive bunch deep down, I think Australians are superb company.. aw heck, I’ll even admit that some of my mates are Australian. It’s just this weird belligerence I don’t get.

And for the record, the answer is Rooney.

You can see Friedel on the far left of the photo, i think he is hugging Neill.

No too confident about this one. 2-0 Spurs.

Was that when the spuds fans started to throw their completely used season tickets onto the pitch?

1-1 this time.

I might be going over old ground here but is there an official launch date for the ISA?

Also, has anyone discussed the setting up of the ISA on the official message board on the Rovers website?

you;re in trouble now brightonrover. the first rule of BRISA is: you do not talk about BRISA

I think if you did a combined team on what we've seen so far it'd be:

Langer

Trescothick

Vaughan © (less runs than Ponting but a better captain imo)

Martyn

Pietersen

Flintoff

Gilchrist

Warne

Lee

Harmison

McGrath

Not a bad team really!

id go with that. Wouldn't have thought you'd have a case for 5 english players at the beginning of the series.

Hopefully the entire series will go to the wire and with a bit of luck, we'll sneak it. It's been good so far. Enjoy the OT test whoever goes.

I was at the test on saturday. One of the best sporting accasions ive been to. The atmosphere rivalled any footie match ive been to and both teams went at it hammer and tongs. The aussie fans were great fun and Justin Langer was the epitomy of a good sport when getting some good natured banter from the crowd. And to top it off, we won.

Super fred everyone. Make sure he knows it when he gets to his home ground.

The arrangements are a joke as has been discussed. However, im going. cummon the blues.

Most importantly, did anyone see some guy doing some breakdancing swallow dive thing behind Hanson and the other pundits when they were introducing the match? Very funny.

well i thought it was funny

After a few post match scoops I walked past the Notlob team bus which was boarding with players.

They were winding up the fans by making diving gesticulations through the windows.

If it were back in the late 70's I would have bananas at them.

scum...scum...scum

am i reading this right? Please tell me ive got the wrong end of the stick.

Last night was ######. Rovers were ######, Charlton were ######, Charlton's fans were ######, Rover's fans were ######. It was ######. And Emerton is a ###### who looks like the alien from the Fifth Element.

very please with the news-just hope he lives up the billing!

Just hope he lives up to the billing

Aye carumba

What is that meant to mean? Why do you feel the need to even think this sort of guff, let alone post it. Its a clean sheet, a new manager and everyone is excited about the possibilities and you feel to add a pessimistic caviat like some sort of 90 year old. Course we all hope he does a good job. Pathetic.

Very pleased. He's got work on his hands no mistake but he's just about the fella i would have chosen first.

Edit. Im impressed by JW and how the powers that be have handled this. Professional, decisive and handled with dignity. Highlights the bedlum which surrounds most managerial changes at other clubs for the amateurs they are.

Hooray for the timelord! Loving that work.

Remember, the more names on the list to bet against, the more money the betting companies make. So if Skybet think putting Curbishley on the list is remotely credible, then people will bet for him.

I know this should be a period of high anxiety but I am feeling pretty relaxed. As always, the more I see of John Williams in action for the Rovers, the more impressed I am.

I think we are in safe hands.

Totally agree. JW is a class act.

BTW...from that article

"I've set myself a target of two to three weeks to make an appointment but we are not going to rush into anything and get it wrong.

I dont think i can stand another 2 or 3 weeks of this.

- Walter Smith or Peter Reid (recommended by Souness)

Why were these jokers recommended by Souness? These two spud sacks are the last people who i'd want.

Is Moyes completely out of the equation BTW?

It took me 2.7 seconds to get over this news.

Graeme Whoness?

BTW you are joking about Venables right?

Like to add my thanks as well. Brightened up a morining at work last week when i read it.

Not sure if i would call Gazza a true gent by the way but an interview would undoubtedly be amusing.

People, just listen to this! Amazing!!!

The Polyphonic Spree

Summertime in musical form!!  

The Spree are quite excellent. Some old school reggae in the form of Toots and the Maytalls is currently playing. Brilliant. Next up is some Cut Chemist scratch madness. Class.
