We went down without a fight last year, why would we fight this year?

this will be the point where the manager pulls at the heart strings about his tough upbringing and how he's a fighter, dignified fighter

sod it listening is unbearable...............gonna watch champions league, think of happier times Mike Newell killing Rosenborg seems like a bloody fairtytale now christ i miss the mid-nineties

It's a pity Kean quit. Seeing him relegate Rovers two seasons in a row would have been good.

(Reading his buddies in the media defending him I mean.)

there simply are'nt enough bodyguards, plus my blood pressure staying so high for so long would have killed me weeks ago

rhodes 23 goals..............2nd top league score 5 goals Rochina...........3rd 4 goals nuno gomes..........what a team, what a squad

looking at the soccerstats.com website

every stat on rovers under the sun, some choice ones

failed to score away 43% of matches

away clean sheets 4% of matches

longest streak(back to back)of games without conceding an away goal 0 (zero)

It is only 1-0, this game is far from over just show a little bit of faith

won 13 this season looking at the 17th defeat

be the 10th defeat away this season........won 3 away all season

whats this faith you talk of????

FFS beggers belief a team straight out of the prem in 22 attempts could only win 3 times away at this level, kean players/kean management/embarrassingly kean results

youth team next game please Mr Bowyer

pointless exercise it is picking the same players week in week out...and suprise suprise losing week in week out

King should never wear a Rovers shirt EVER again after his showing against Watford. He was a disgrace.

any player without the requisite level of talent should never wear the rovers shirt.........unfortunately 11 of them are currently doing just that.

this squad make up is so frighteningly similar to what Bradford had when they dropped through all the divisions, Pompey as well no marks/leeches/washed up journeymen.

midfield is so bad i'd certainly have 5 in there posibly with 2 slightly more advanced, the isolation and lack of service rhodes gets is criminal purely because the opposition dominate midfield and posession week in and week out resulting in the only out being constant long balls

I've every confidence in Rhodes and Dunn having the required composure to at least work the goalie i have absolutely none in CKR and King

I can't pick 11 players from this squad good enough to comfortably win this, just hope we get the breaks

murphy is on a par with ostenstad, leeches, money grabbing, effort shirking leeches..........ostenstad still irks me more than 10 years later seeing his contract out in the prime years of his career without playing.....times when i actually gave a sh1t about the clubs finances thinking all money raised/saved progressed the club, boy have those days ever gone

some solace in the fact the indian bast4rds can't wreck the memories......................christ he was good, chills you to the bone to think 4 years seems a lifetime ago i don't recognise the club in that video

He was a good player....the injury took it's toll.....but there was a reason we spent all that money, regardless of how it all turned out in the end.

2 seasons ago at Birmingham, he made more passes than anyone else in the league.

Ferguson was better than Tugay at Rangers.....as well as Mikel Arteta.

arteta and tugay where never there at the same time,

as for ferguson he can only dream of having Tugays class, must have been mentally ill as well to be homesick for Glasgow

He scores goals, thats his job.

Dunn also can last no more than 70 minutes. Should we ditch him too?

25-30k per week for 9-10 games a year, undoubtedly a resounding YES.

40-45k per week for benni to warm the bench, cheerio.

20 1st team players there, maybe 2 better quality additions for a squad with a decent injury record that should be plenty to get us through a season. Even the chelsea manager wants a 23 man tops 1st team, so i don't see why we should need to carry extra dead weight like ellington as a financially smaller team.

In a dream world we could have the above as a good starting platform and ditch dunn, reid, benni and peds saving i'd guess 115-120k per week that could tempt some reliable quality to come here.

Looking at the above it starts to smell more like rubbish the whole ellington thing, we just can't afford his wages regardless of whether he is free.

time to start going through the channels, this game is well over

be good business for united to bid 100m for gerrard, great wingers, great defence, decent strikers, very average in the middle

some manc on the radio earlier saying he turned down 3 grand for his ticket as the memories are priceless! SUCKER

thought anderson looked quite comfortable first half, very strange to sub him carrick has looked nervous as hell a few times.....substitution has messed united right up barca killing it

think this game has got pique getting a 2nd yellow written all over it. Only way united are gonna level the numbers as park is the korean luis garcia( a waste of space)

schole berbatov and tevez on the bench and park gets matchtime ???????????

ITV cocked up Ferguson's interview, and it's taken them half an hour to get their score bar back up upholding their usual high standard of broadcasting.

you just jinxed it

can itv not even afford a caption for the time in the corner of the screen? 2nd question ji sung park , why??????playing with 10 men for the sake of selling a few shirts

Could'nt agree more with carra's views on international football....i'm all for making internationals for ameteurs only, and i just see weeks like this as one where i have no football to watch and a waste of a saturday! Make it like golf where your either an ameteur or a pro and see how many would sacrifice money over playing for their country.

on the basis that carra thinks he's in the scouse mob i heard some one refer to him as "DOLE Corleone" brilliant

legend, true legend from norfolk east of england!!!!!!hahahahahaha

all the people at the top in football blatter, platini, barwick, have one thing in common they are idiots! world cup in near third world country, what a blinding decision, no goal line technology as long as he's in power as platini said and of course McClown! Blatter is a fan of brown envelopes so what are the chances madrid put somthing in the post for him?

not to sound too sinical and cold! but the irritating halfwit (how the hell did he get to the bbc he was awful on channel 5) pearce could i'd imagine given bbc salary's pay 13k himself without the need to trumpet his charitable side to anyone that'll listen. on reflection i'm very sinical!

all the best to them ....bar ward, just can't bring myself to be happy about how filthy rich he is on account of mr.Kidd being a terrible manager. its just wrong.

just heard he apparently only bought the range rover the day before and phoned his agent to get it insured, which he duly forgot to do! fella to full of himself to do the simplest things himself or just plain stupid! key away!
