Rapist don't rape for the sex itself, they do it to feel in control.

Pennant? Didn't he cost a bundle when he moved to Arsenal?

I get this. "Either the desired file does not exist on our servers or your download link is faulty."

Link don't work.... I get an error page when clicking the link

Hmm... That doesn't work for me

I agree, and I'll most likely subscribe to RW when i get DSL installed at my new apartment. But still, any free link is greatly appreciated

1-0 Rovers

Anyone got a radio link for todays game?

Me smells 4-5-1 for tomorrow...

Well.... I can't say that ANY of the norwegian players had a good game. A few player did OK, and the majority was.... well rubbish

Does anyone know of a site where the preseason goals are availiable for download, prefreably free of charger

I certainly hope you are right. Even Dickov at number 2 striker is a disaster, at best he should be a sub.

Interview with Mikel on TV2 in Norway now. He say he was pressured to sign for ManU my Lyn director Morgan Andersen and two ManU officials His agent Shittu says the same thing, and that there have been no meeting with Chelsea He thinks he will return to Norway. Morgan Andersen claims the pressure must be coming from his agents, and suggests that Mikels family is being threatend. Mikel denies any threats have been made against his family Who is lying? One positive that can come from this case is a more restrictive use of agents. Could we hope for a ban against agents....

As this is info comeing from the Norwegian media, i somehow doubt the british press has gotten hold of it yet. If you dont care about the topic, why did you even read this thread?

Quick update. There are rumors floating around that the company og agent Rune Hauge are in posession of contracts that makes the deal with ManU illegal. Rune Hauge will apparently comment this in a TV-program tomorrow night...

The passport he used to get to Norway is held by Andersen. In Norway you have to submit you old passport in order to get a new one...

Latest: Lyn director Morgan Andersen doesn't think Mikel went to London of his own free will. When asked if he(Andersen) would go there, he said that the didn't dare go there - it seems quite dagegous to be there right now. Lyn seems to be quite worried for Mikel, and don't think he will return to Norway. It is also speculated if Mikel used a fake passport when traveling, since his (expired) passport is in Andersens custody.

Many seem to think that this farce(sp?) is Chelseas doing. The media asked Jim Ryan(ManU youth director) if he thinks Chelsea are behind Mikels trip to London. His answer: As the case stands, we can assume that Chelsea are involved. It all seems like a scandal. PS. My traslation of his answer

Yeah something like that. It is my understanding that the initial deal is in the ?3M region, rising to possibly about ?8M in the next few years. So it is reported by the media here at least The jist(that has not mentioned earlier) of the lastest link is that - Mikel in London to meet with Chelsea - Ferguson not comeing to Oslo anyway? - ManU and Lyn will press charges against the agents, both in Norway and in England

Also ManU-officials have apparently arrived in Olso to get Mikel to Englad ASAP. Originally he was to leave Lyn next January. Oh, and I'm sorry for starting a non-Rovers topic. Please continue to discuss Arsenals 7-0 defeat of Everton and Terry Venables' carreer.....

The Mikel-deal is turning into quite the soap-opera over here in Norway. Here is a bried synopsis of events -Mikel is supposedly on his way to Chelsea, stated earlier this year -"I was misquoted" says Mikel later Time passes -Mikel has a fantastic start to his Lyn carreer. - Man Utd signs the player i the highest priced deal in Norway ever. Formerly Carew to Valencia for about ?6M - Chelsea furious, claims Mikel was their to sign - Mikel reportedly cancells his contract with is agent prior to signing for ManU - Agents, yes plural, flies to Norway to discuss matters with Mikel and Lyn -Meanwhile Mikel has been getting deaththreats from football fans and is in hiding. - Mikel is missing from the team meeting before todays cupgame.....Lyn is worried. He however shows up about an hour late. - 2 hours later Lyn calls the police to have them stop a car carrying Mikel and his agent. - Mikel is talking to his agent - Mikel now wants to go to Chelsea.... claims he was mislead by Lyn (to sign for ManU) I can't wait for next weeks episode...

Alright Who put the hex on Stead?!?!? Maybe an excorcist should be on staff next season

Didn't he sign a 18 month contract? Wold be a gamble on Rovers part if he cold be sent home next January wouldn't it? Besides, I don't think a work permit will be a problem, as joey_big_nose says, i think that when you are established you are in.

Saw the game on TV last night and i must say I felt a little "robbed" after the game. Not "The Bolton Diver"-robbed, but I feel it was a game we should have had at least a point from. Rovers were on par with Chelsea, if not better at times. This may be because they never really looked that much of a threat gongi forward after Robben went of. They had their chances but not the fast paced counter attacks that Robben provided. I do think that Friedel is to blame for the goal, he should have gotten it. The defeat comes from us not being able to convert a penalty, and the geneal "can't score thingy" Friedel: To blame for the goal, but not the defeat. Had a cople of good saves, and looked pretty solid after the goal. Not the Superman of two seasons ago, but still adept. Neill Willing to go forward, and defensly improving. He had a good game. Not really excelling, but noe major mistakes either. Todd Solid as ever! Got outrun by Robben for the goal, but who wouldn't be? I am extremly pleased that he has signed a new contract, and hope he doesn't get injured or looses his form this season. Got to be the fist name on the teamsheet. What did Souness think when he wanted to ship him out.... Nelsen One word: IMMENSE! Todd and Nelsen have got to play together next game too. Looked solid the entire game, and never looked like putting a foot wrong. To illustrate how Husghes has improved our defence, just look at Nelsens performance against Chelsea and compare it to any Amo-game.... Matteo Why? Why?!? Why does he play? I mean, anybody has to be better than this oaf. His distribution is not good, and can only be described with one word; Hoofing. He has no pace, and that means NO pace. He would be out run by a dead snail. Emerton Is a good player, with skills. But this game he showed none. He seemed scared to take players on, and just stopped when he met a Chelsea player. His rossing was poor too. i'm sure he will find his form again, but this game was poor. Savage Good game, got us a penalty and had a couple of dangerous shots on goal. A true battler, disrupting the opposition build up. Did just what he was brouth to Rovers to do; Be the midfield hard man. Mokoena Ugly tacke on Robben, disappeared sometimes but had an overall good game. Together wtih Savage he provided defensive stability to the midfield. Looks a good buy, I think he will improve. Tommo Put in lot of effort, but didnæt have a good game. Gave away many silly balls, poor passing. A lot of running about, but not much to show for it, should have been taken of at half-time MGP Great frist half, created about 90% of our offensive plays that half. Became more anonymous in the second. He was clearly not comfortable on the right wing whan swappin with Emerton. Is the "nod the ball out of the keepers hands" even allowed? That said Makelele should have been booked for the shove. Dickov A pest as usual, ticking the Chelsea defence of a lot! He shoul have put the penalty away. No matter who's in goal, PENALTY = GOAL. He holds the ball up very well, but he can't finish. Dickov as a lone striker is not an option I would like to see again. Several times he took a shot when he could have passed to a team mate, most notalby to Reid. An OK game, he needs a striking partner.

In the Match console, choose to listen to Colchester, i get a feed then
