Big Ron is hard enough to understand when he speaks english I can't imagine how he'd communicate with them over in Spain

I think I read today that Thompson was looking to be back within the next couple of weeks

Well, it's more believable than Heskey scoring. A lot of strange things seem to be happening in the midlands. Then again, if you throw enough mud at a wall...

"I have trained a bit extra"..."I have always done that". Well the boy is certainly confused.

Finished 2-2 in newcastle game

Not really going to spark a long discussion, but just thought I'd like to point out that Birmingham have just equalised against Newcastle. Who was it scored by? None other than Dwight Yorke. It was also set up by David Dunn.

Unless of course we actually sign an Armenian

Funny how a week ago everyone was saying Tugay should be next to Bazza, now he's had his chance everyone is saying the opposite. Football is a confusing thing sometimes.

Did he look quality when he screwed up and allowed Kanu to score the first goal yesterday? Players of the opposition always look better because you don't watch them every saturday and see all of their mistakes. Our defence needs to be worked on, but I have no doubt that in them we have several good premiership defenders.

Well he's gone one step towards making up for being a little off.

If he starts getting us into the box regularly we might actually get one

Neither of those are as good as them beating us though

Why do politics even have to come into this?

He's only here until January, with the possible option for an extension, because the club want to see how he does. It shows that we are the ones dictating the terms of this deal, if he had his way and was just here for a final paycheck, I'm sure he'd be on a lucrative two year deal.

Wasn't Perez Corsican? I know it is a part of France, but he would probably be quite insulted to be called French.

Oh and by the way, was just thinking about it. Last time we had a similar sort of signing? Our current manager, and he didn't do too badly did he

Getting to the point about "got on Souey's back for signing 30 year olds". If Hughes continues to sign players of this age, and makes them our major signings, then no, I won't be happy. However, Hughes has read the situation, sees we need some creativity, and with the transfer window closed, he has gone out and got the best available player, it makes perfect sense.

Can we please close this topic? Things like this should just be added to post match discussions and other topics, there is really no need.

3-1 Rovers

How often do we play them?

Because our team had no idea what was going on in that last bit Oh come on, I mean it's not nice to go out of the cup, but it's really not that bad.

Is it all over?

All I can say is that Souey's successor at least does much better in the press. So far not only did Hughes get the result we needed, though Im not going to get carried away with that, but everything he says in the press is exactly what I want to hear as a Rovers supporter. From his post-match comments to how he sees the situation in general.

Well the club has tried lowering the price quite often. What was the response like? It may be worth trying, but would have to be done carefully, because unless the fall in price caused a large rise in attendance, we could see a massive fall in revenue. The key really, as was touched on earlier, is finding out who the supporters are who have left, who the supporters are in the region who are possible targets, and why these two groups aren't coming.

He's just finding his level. Which is obviously a few divisions below where he is now. No no, I'm sure he'll end up being a good coach or manager.
