Eddie

How many people were at that game 20-25k? I think thats rather sad. Not even 1 pound per person

We're wrong because we tried to buy one of your players? Oh dear...brummie logic.

I don't think we look stupid at all. We've expressed an interest, made bids, they've been rejected, we haven't said anything. Is that us looking stupid? As far as I'm concerned that's normal activity in football and proper conduct, just because Birmingham want to make a big deal about it is only making them look stupid, not us.

I don't really mind Yeading holding it away from their homeground to get more fans. First of all it gives all of their fans the opportunity to see the biggest game of their lives possibly, while also in the modern game where lower league comes are struggling to keep their heads above the financial water I don't see anything wrong with them making more money in that way.

Nice review there Pugger...Thanks for that

Oh dear not a good start for you. Swap savage for Brett Emerton? Have you been taking something up that blue nose of yours? I don't think the club should be interested in a swap deal, our squad is weak enough as it is, unless we are swapping fringe players like douglas or amo. I'm not sure Savage will be on much more here than he is there, I don't think it is that much about money, I just think he wants out and likes working with Hughes and Bowen.

You are poorer

Or Norwich or Villa who are both out as well.

I don't think he was that biased. He's back it up with some evidence that is all factual. Obviously we get to see Ferguson week-in-week-out so of course we think more of him than others and are likely to see the best he can be. However, the respect for Ferguson thoughout the leagues and within our management and players shows how good he really is. I'm sure over the next two seasons he will establish himself amongst the best midfielders in the premiership

He's one of the best midfielders outside the top 5 in my opinion. He and Savage would be the best combination outside of that group, I'm sure most teams in the premiership would have him.

...its tribal football. I may as well make it up. In fact here we go We are about to sign Henry for 8 million plus Amo...at least according to www.eddiefootball.com

Well I've had the pleasure of travelling from Birmingham to Chester and from Chester to Blackburn a few times as well as Chester to Manchester. I can tell you from experience that the first takes much longer then the second two. They have to sell him now, if not they are simply wasting money on his wages.

On a note, even if we don't sign Savage, at least we've really messed up their team now

Good that you know so much about the opinion of the board and our financial situaiton, would you like to give us a source on that Ferguson comment. I would be surprised if we sold Bazza for anything less than what we bought him for, to be quite frank, I'd be surprised if we sold him full stop.

The nature of those games means that you have to stop anyway. For example in Rugby it can quickly be seen if the ball was touched down while the two teams set up for either a drop out or the conversion. While in tennis, half the time cyclopse, or whatever name youd like to use, doesnt work and they have to turn it off. I myself have played in tournaments where that is used, its more trouble than its worth. I think in football the game would be slowed down too much, we all know there are going to be mistakes, and that is tough to take, but really id rather see the game as I know it, warts and all, then some stop-start computer run affair.

I'm quite happy, terrible decision, but then Spurs are a team that we might be able to catch this season, so as many things that go against them the better.

Still owe us over half of the Dunn money I think, I'm not sure about the rest

More important than the fact that Todd is back in the team, I think we are doing better at the back because 12 games ago I dropped Friedel from my fantasy team. I really regret it now, but great for rovers

I also hope we can go on a good cup run. Might be beneficial to the season, boost for the players, and as has been said, opportunity to play some fringe players.

Interesting to see Marseille were interested in him. He'll get his chance, just as many of you are saying why Reid and not MGP, well if he starts making a fuss then he should take a look at Reid, who waited patiently for a year before getting a regular chance to prove the doubters wrong.

I think we should wait and see what the final result is before deciding who has shown weakness. Though I think a good price would be around 2 millio, even if we end up paying 2.5-3 million for him it will have been a better deal for us. We have to remember that unlike when they bought Dunn and Taylor, Savage is a key figure for them every game, and one of the players around which their team works. It will be a big loss for them, a bit like us losing Ferguson or Emerton, and for 3 million they will find him difficult to replace.

5-0 Rovers Stead to score all 5 after having one disallowed early on and to be hailed as England's next superstar.

we haven't made a second bid for savage Intersting, thought we had. Apologies if someone has mentioned this. I guess that means it is more likely that we actually will sign him as probably our second bid will be about as high as we will go.

I think he meant because of their temper

I'm still encouraged by the fact that we have played so badly but still defended well and really should have taken a point from the game, earlier in the season we would have been on the wrong end of a thrashing. I'm still really looking forward to the coming weeks, especially after we have a few more players in the squad.
