We did leave Scotland with nothing.

This came up on the Englandfans website and I thought it was quite interesting. If you could change one result in Rovers History what would it be. It could be one game that you feel started a bad run or just one game purely on result alone. Legia Warsaw, where we were a matter of minutes away from the last 16 of the champions league, arsenal in the FA Cup semi.... the list goes on. For me I guess it is the Southampton game at Ewood in the 1998 - 1999 season. We went down to a poor 2-0 defeat, if we'd won that game we would not have been relegated that season and would not thave had two seasons in the First Division.

I'd settle for Jordan not calling me Nicky when he quotes me

I'm hoping for a draw. To be honest it's al in our hands anyway. A win against Nancy sees us top the group whatever happens tonight.

Bob don't stop. Let's have the full season of reviews. I'm sure we could chuck them in a book at the end of the season and make a fortune.

He's moved up on the Bill Bailey Insanity rating from "mad as a box of frogs" to "mad as a bag of squirrels"

I don't think we call him yajniv. I know thats what name he registred on the official site as so it might be to do with that. He's still barmy

I saw him the week before when I was there with England. He was doing press ups with his pplant on his head and it got kicked off by some muppet. Everyone through in a few euro's for him and he seemed ok then. He's not the only pothead I saw out there.

Earnshaw could be worth a shout as well as Eastwood. I'm still not sure why Earnshaw didn't make it at West Brom, his goalscoring record is excellent and Hughes knows him well from their time together with Wales. I've watched Eastwood a few times and I have been impressed with his movement and all round contribution. He will make the step up soon.

Nope, wrong Vinjay. More people haven't sided with you as you are clearly as mad as a box of frogs.

I was under the impression that 1st played 2nd and 3rd played CL. Don't know why I thought that.

Just wondering what results we are hoping for this week. I guess 2 draws wouldn't be too bad. That would leave it in our own hands. We could do with hitting a bit of form before we play Nancy as they are a fairly strong team. They do appear to have a few problems away from home so we should be looking to top the group. Interestingly if we finish 2nd we are a little more limited in possible fixtures as we could not play Spurs, Newcastle, or the tam that finishes top of our group.

I think Roversmum has hit the nail on the head, we need to start seeing a return from our forwards. Personally I think it's time to give Jeffers a run, he has looked sharp when he has come on and I wouldn't mind seeing him replace Nonda, who has not been firing on all cylinders recently. I'm personally not too worried as I think we will start picking up points soon. There is absolutely no doubt that the UEFA cup has stretched our small squad to the full. Maybe a little blame has to go with Hughes for not strengthening the squad in the summer. To be fair I think every member on this site could see we were short at LB and CM.

Grab your coat Jan, looks like you've pulled.

This isn't a dig or anything, but have you ever actually seen him play rover6. I personally haven't so would like to know what type of player he is.

You wouldn't believe how gutted I am today. Unfortnately due to a mixture of lack of holidays and lack of funds and lack of an understanding Girlfriend i shall be watching the game on the box. If we qualify I shall definitely be at the next away game as it will be after Christmas and I'll have 30 days holiday left... woohoo!! To be fair I did only get back from Amsterdam less than a week ago so shouldn't complain too much.

You know me far too well. To be fair our big night out was a Tuesday which was obviously fairly quiet, we did manage to head down to the square where the pubs opened late but were far too hammered and had to get a cab back to the hotel (via macdonalds) about 30 minutes later. Go to the black tiger bar in the red light district, in the downstairs bar you should see a photo of yours truly looking rather worse for wear. I think i'd just proposed to the bar maid..

stay in amsterdam.

I only got back from Amsterdam last week so I can tell you now how easy it is to get from the airport to Centraal station. Don't bother with taxis, just grab a train ticket from one of the machines (they are cheaper than buying from the ticket office) and jump on one of the double decker trains. It's about 20 minutes to Centraal station. If anyones not sorted for a hotel, try the amstel botel. It's in an ideal location and it's quite pleasant. Just to give a couple of good pubs for you guys to head to, try the Olde Sailor or the Black Tiger Bar. Both are bang in the midle of the red light district so you have a nice view whilst drinking your beer. You also get a chance to mock the lads going in and out of various doors. Only problem I found was that some big burly blokes kept calling me Charlie.. very odd!!

Hello Vinjay Mk2

Yep our European record is awful this year. Played 4, Won 3, Drawn 1.

People keep saying that it would take too long. It certainly wouldn't take much longer than it took for the ref to come over and have a discussion with the linesman yesterday. If he was wearing a headset the 4th Offical could watch it back and say yes or no pretty much instantly. To be honest though I don't think it would have changed the Tugay decision. he caught the player (granted it was unintentional) and in theory he was the last man. The rules of the game state he has to go, the problem is that not all refs are following it and a number of worse challanges have been made which have reulted in players staying on the pitch. Consistancy is required.

Jeffers looked fairly lively when he came on. Might be worth going with him and Benni for the next league game.

Phil, the point I was trying to make was that as a Mod I couldn't physically change someones Avatar. Obviously my poor wording gives you the opportunity to have a little dig. Petty really, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't give up the time to this site that Admin and Mods (to a lesser extent) do for no return at all. We do seem to be on a hiding to nothing generally.

He was captain for holland on Wednesday so they must see something in him.
