I think this is a compliment by ferguson in his interview today. "We have closed the gap but seven points is still very big and it is still Chelsea's to throw away. "They have got to come here in a couple of weeks when the pitch will be even worse and they have also got to go to Blackburn."

Good day for Rovers. Anyone who thought Arsenal would slip up today is stupid. Villa have been poor lately. Great result at the breezeblock and a great result @ St James Park - also with Dawson now facing a ban. I think Chelsea are slipping and Man United are starting to put some pressure on them. Chelsea still have to play Bolton, Man United, Blackburn & Newcastle. None of which will be easy for them.

Because us non smokers shouldnt have a say on the matter and we should get throat cancer etc but not say anything!

Any official news on the tickets they have sold?? Lawro has predicted us to lose - so i predict us to win. 3-1

That's a good shout. Im sure he would be good example for the younger lads at how to pass a ball.

Good days to be a rover!

This could cause some unrest in the Bolton camp Sam hits out at Stelios

According to the news letter Reid has said he wants to sign for his long term future, just a day after Tugay. Anyone can access to the story on Rovers world? Great news!!

I think it will have a positive affect on the attendances because i for one, hate people sat infront of me smoking. And im sure many others do also

Boro would go in as winners, the place would still also be available in the league. Also next years intertoto is quite interested. You only need to win the 1st, 2 legged game to get into the 2nd qualifying stage of next seasons Uefa cup.

The ban starts in the stands and then the season after it comes into account in the concourses too.

Me too - iv even considered getting a ticket to go and watch it with my girlfriends brother as he is a bolton supporter. I would love to see them get beat

I cant wait for the weekend. With rovers getting a monday fixture we get the chance to see how other results have gone before we play. Hopefully Spurs, Arsenal & bolton could all slip up and that would give rovers a real boost going into the Wigan game.

Gally had an injury prior to the game and was rated as 50/50 before

So how many people are on that database? And how long does the database go back? Does the club mail to the whole of that database?

Also nice to see West Ham lost tonight

Bolton have only won 3 of their last 12 in all conpetitions and face Manure @ weekend. I dont think they will finish above us

5th + 6th for Uefa 4th for Champs league qualifier

Race for 4th - Top 7 opposition: Bolton vs Man Utd (h) Liverpool (a) Chelsea (h) Tottenham (a) Rovers vs Liverpool (h) Chelsea (h) Arsenal vs Manchester United (a) Tottenham (h) Tottenham vs Man Utd (h) Arsenal (a) Bolton (h) Id say that we have the easiest run in as far as it goes for playing the top teams and also we aint involved in any 6 pointers that involve any of the other 4th place challengers!

Lee have you got any idea on the likely increase if we dont renew until after April? Also will the club be sending out a promotion to all those who have history on the database? Similar to what preston did last season?

I really dont see how anyone can think that Fat Sam is good enough for the job!

I still think Liverpool are over rated and i think that if they had one or two draws before we play them that we could catch them too. I think 4th is well within our sights

I think we will finish above both Tottenham and Bolton, its only Arsenal we need to worry about. But wever beaten them once so it shows they aint unbeatable.

As much as i would love for Bolton to fail, Fat Sam is not good enough to be the manager of England. He has done well for Bolton but he has never managed at the top level and he has never had to deal with a squad, full of Big ego's.

Spuds run in Away - Newcastle Home - Man City Away - Everton Home - Man Utd Away - Arsenal Home - Bolton Away - West Ham Looking at how they have been playing - i think they have a very hard run in. Not 1 easy game there!
