personally I think that Ranieri could do a massive job at spurs. If their sugar daddy come in as is being planned then he will be given ample money to purchase the right players for spurs. Wouldnt it be then just what does that mean? marvellous f they finished above cfc at the end of the season. # Ps Old big gob Bates was absolutley right to demand the compo be paid straight away, I just hope he gets his own compo in as quick a time !

update from the mad world of chelsea lampard has not been offered a new deal bates has rejected a 5.8 million pay off cfc have had a reported bid of around 17 million for drogba rejected mourinho has made it clear that if he is to take the chelsea job he wants his own backroom staff which total 10 staff ! Ranieri is wanted by Romas but he wont budge until cfc sack him. oh to be a chelsea fan

singing deadleg ? And I thought that he was a potential serial sex addict !

no got a flyer through the post indicating the prices were frozen !

now the Style Council ? what a band

good lad scotty another sensible retort !!

the sun gone to your bonce Revidge ? seriously you are sun stroked if you believe that last comment

apologies for those who I am about to upset. If any of you think that Douglas has any ounce of the ability that Tugay possesses then you know absolutley FUFF all about Football. said it and I mean it. We must keep Tugay unless we have a rady made replacement and IMo there are not too many players that can produce the balls that he can. More importantly Tugay would be an asset alongside Fergie who will surely control the midfield allowing Tugay a little more freedom. forget Douglas and let him go NOW

I can see it being an "interest free" system payable to the club. Like you stu the missus has already saved a round 450 as that was the expected price. Now she can go and buy some more shoes and a handbag as well as my ticket ! makes sense dont it

thats a fantastic bit of news credit to Rovers. Now if only they can press on with the proposed signings then there maybe that chink of light that suggests to potential ticket buyers to take the plunbge and get our numbers back up.

has anyone considered the ferry ? quite cheap and a lot easier than most think ! Also waggy today at work two lads rang for the england swiss game and were unsuccessful as the tickets were on "hold". The female operator couldnt really explain why or what it really meant but they were told to ring on monday. So there are still tickets available

cfc will be linked with all sorts of star names however as previously posted they cannot buy any player until the dispute with the grey old hairy one is settled !

paul I hear your words stats flitty passes completed 25 Tugay 15 flitty tackles won 25 tugay 14 flitty tackles lost 1 tugay 10

cant see Rovers letting him go UNLESS Cole himself asks. AC is a very reserved and private person, we have never seen him hogging the limelight of the media, we have always seen him as a dull and drab player media wise. Okay his attitude may not be exactly right, he does sulk but who doesn't ? Andy Cole is good for Rovers, I totally agree that with a more consistent Emerton and a good left sided midfielder we would see a vastly improved goal ration from our strikers. But at the end of the day its the DEFENCE that needs sorting I mean we CAN score goals, actually lots of them

my summary (I am seriously suffering withdrawals !!) Enckleman - rammed taunts down the brummies throats gray - good outing reid - should have had more down the right hand side nissa - solid won everything almost short - flat footed but solid tugay - huffed and puffed and tried too hard when the easier ball was on douglas - played much better than of late but still shows a lack of pace/knowledge of the game and positioning andreson - broke play up well flitcroft - played well cole - good game and worked hard stead - same solid outing emerton - a big enigma still. has all the space and pace and constantly gives the ball away neill - solid but fouled for the goal Gally - not enough time to do anything Souness - cannot understand his perserverance with douglas but he can obviously see more than us 24000 hardy Rovers fans can see. His tactics were spot on in the second 45 so why did he get wrong in the first half ? fans - good send off for the team after a very dodgy season. funniest thing apart from the ref getting knocked over by Short was the little drama outside. "Hardman"runs up to opposition supporter hands raised and faced athunder, shouting and raving "come on then"! Cue little opposition fan (rovers supporter) one punch and brum fan flat out with a cut head. Classic I have never seen a more comical incident in ages.

can anyone identify the term penalty ?

rovers to win just to ram it straight back down the throats of the doubters end of season squib ? my ar$e
