James - Born of Frustration

We All Stand - New Order

Life In A Northern Town - The Dream Academy

Another Girl Another Planet - The Only Ones

Black Man Ray - China Crisis

As I think I've commented in the past, left winger syndrome. Some Rovers fans have suffered from this for around 20 years. In a non-footballing sense, so has Jim.

I'd agree Gord. I'm sure lots of folk would use a reference doc, I often find myself wasting lots of time googling when a certain event happened. Have you seen this from Wayne Wild........ http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1rjhkfo .............. covers things for last season, no idea whether PB is the man to write a piece to bring events up to date.

Good grief, staggeringly stupid. Surely no-one who's been following events the tiniest bit closely can be in any doubt that this is way past the point of just incompetence.

Tasty Fish - The Other Two

Echo and the Bunnymen - The Back of Love

Do Anything You Wanna Do - Eddie and the Hot Rods

Shack Up - A Certain Ratio (edit - great minds perth)

Visits to the dentist will never be the same

Bit off topic - sorry bout that - but time to restock the drinks cabinet Bob...... lager lager lager (and wine for the ladies)

, well it's a volley and there's a commentator! One of my favourites is the one against Basle, sure I've seen it on a Youtube compilation but can't find it at the moment.

Does that mean he's banned in the whole of Europe (I expect so)? Or do EU/UEFA rules mean he could play (not be subject to restraint of trade and all that) in the UK?

Please tell me you haven't made that name up

And a nice little excuse for the next few weeks - time for the new assistant to settle in and get to know the players

Some decent performances O2G? What did you reckon to the great Johnny Clarke? One of the bonuses of working from home more these days is getting to listen to a lot of radio - he was a guest the other week on one afternoon's Radcliffe and Maconie and was on fine form. Had me in stitches.

Especially for you old timers (just in case you didn't know already)

I haven't Alan, but have heard of a few folk who've had exactly the same problem with their condensing boilers. Quite a few of my place's external waste pipes have frozen over the past week or two (despite them getting sun during the day) - I suspect plumbers are going to be very busy (and rich) in the New Year.

Another gem. That could hardly be more timely WB. Venky's should take 1 minute out of their hectic schedules to watch and learn from at least the first minute of that. Apart from Mr E and Vinjay we're realistic - we won't get a team that good again, we just want owners with vision and who earn respect from players, management, and supporters.

Generally on a Monday, the official site does a brief round-up of how our loanees-out have got on that weekend.
