And with that Paul, you get my vote for best post in the grooby's,

It's about 20p a pint cheaper than the pub... how much more convincing would they need ??? Starting to review my pre and post match plans. They've upped the price of bottles from £1 to £1.20. The cheek of it.

Best chant yesterday bar none - aimed at some women in the longside chav crew at the end. "get your **** out for your dad" - priceless.

This just has to be done. How do we go about co-ordinating it?

I do hope that everyone is wearing colours for the game. There's be nothing better than the cricket field stand to be a sea of blue and white. What is the policy on taking flags in? It'd be great if there were a load of blue and white flags waving as well. Anyone got any or know where I can purchase one?

Wahey, the tickets are secured! Queueing up all the way under the concourse and despite all the cynicism, a sellout is pretty much assured.

I doubt it, he's jewish.

Look forward to seeing you in the Miners then Simon Been to Plumbe Street Miners quite a bit myself. Karaoke on Wednesday nights about 12 years ago was always a good night and the ale was cheap. They knew i was a Rovers fan and were always alright with me. That said I won't be frequenting there a week on Sunday, I don't think I'll be that welcome somehow.

Nice one. Whatever happened to the legions of boys that used to follow Rovers home and away? The same ones who were referred to as 'mental' by the self styled nutters of Millwall in THAT seventies documentary? Some of the old boys I talk to (in their 40's and 50's now) say they hate how the game has become more of a family event than a boys day out. They hanker for the poor football, old terraces and squalid conditions of yesteryear. Jack Walker has so much to answer for...

Pleased with the performance although it's becoming a little predictable with Rovers huffing and puffing but never blowing the house down. Maybe we should have got a point but is no-one of the opinion that Chelsea did just enough to win and if we had scored (the penalty) they'd have just upped it and got another? We may have competed and put them off their stride but the sustained passing and keep ball came from Chelsea, mainly because players of higher quality can play at a higher tempo. When their players exerted the same amount of pressure on our players we tended to just knock the ball long and lose possession whereas Chelsea would maintain some kind of continuity. That said, there's a lot to be happy about going into the Boro game and if we repeat that performance against the teams around us safety will be assured sooner rather than later. Oh and just to add to what others have said before me on this thread, Ryan Nelsen was outstanding, and whisper it....MGP wasn't bad either.

Can anyone confirm if this game is on live on either ppv or any of the foreign satellite channels locally? I've checked out satfootball.com and it's on a channel called supersport6sa or something. Is that available in any of the pubs in the area?

Hang on a minute...although this is a great draw for both sets of fans , spare a thought for the bloke who owns the pet shop in Burnley. He's only just getting back on his feet after being looted last time.

Great point. If a man can't understand it when 20,000 people are screaming 'Man On' then God help him.

Who is this guy Pedersen anyway?

Has to be Duff. Wilcox was one dimensional in my opinion and couldn't beat a man. He was also lucky to play in a team where the centre forward made a ball slung into the box look like a world class centre. There are no players around like Wilcox now basically because the style of play that best suited him is outdated whereas Duff can fit into any style as he is proving with Chelsea.

I can't put into words how much I admire that post.

As a matter of interest, does anyone know what the probable punishment would be should they be found guilty? I can't believe it would constitute a custodial sentence...would it?

Didn't Wham sing "Chant No1"? Or was it Spandau Ballet? And Pat and Mick did 'Let's all chant'

Couldn't believe my eyes when I flicked on the text this morning to see 'Yorke angered by racist chants'. Sat less than ten rows away from where the supposed racism took place and I heard nothing...not a carrot. I think headlines like : 'Rovers fans angered by Yorke's performances' would be nearer the mark. It all smacks of Yorke taking a ride on the negative publicity of the last week to further try and discredit a club he robbed for two years. What will the media say next week when Andy Cole gets a great reception off Rovers fans?

Get off here you total moron. Just because MGP is different class playing 'sixty seconds' in the streets of the salubrious surroundings of the Arctic circle does not mean he will cut it in the prem. Get over it clown, he is not and never will be good enough to play at this level. The day when your pathetic little opinion is valued over that of a legend who has played for 4 of the biggest clubs in Europe will be the day you get the booker prize.

I'm sorry, but to bring him on at 4-0 down when we're getting a panning would do nothing for him. Personally I'd put de Pedro on the bench and Pedersen in the reserves for a few games. De Pedro seems to be coming to in the second string while Pedersen needs games to prove whether he's good bad or indifferent and IMO these games should be in the reserves.

American, I think you can clearly see that the goose is well on top. It's using it's superior beak speed to get it's shots off and working in close to nullify the swan's reach advantage. I'm pretty sure that this bout ended in a hospital visit for the swan. By the way, did anyone read Monday's mirror where a group of 10 black Australian swans infiltrated a lake in Lincoln where a group of English swans were residing? In a kind of Ashes battle the English took the fight to their Australian counterparts and sent them packing. Sorry, can't find a link.

Odious Gob Sh***? Or is Gob Sh*** only one word? In that case I'm struggling.

Rooney is a fantastic player already and he will only get better. Only thing I have reservations about is his fitness. He's only 18 and has already had two bad injuries that have meant he's missed a lot of games. As for Man U, he's undoubtedly improved them massively but their dodgy midfield will drag them down and there's no way I think they'll finish above Arsenal and Chelsea in the Prem.

Yeah, and you deserve a prize for your lack of faith in the lad. Impressive writeoff! Yeah whatever, just made me laugh that's all. I'll leave others to draw their own conclusions now as I've made my opinion quite clear. If he proves me wrong (and I must stress I hope he does) save me a large piece of humble pie.
