So does this mean that I have to make flight and hotel bookings before I know if I'll get tickets or not? Wouldn't be great if I then didn't get any.

Where do you get the forms from? Saw them a couple of weeks ago, but I can't find them anymore.

I'll stick my neck out on this one, 4-0 Rovers.

The worst place I've been to has been Chelsea.

Good to know that we agree theno.

I would say that Newcastle would probably take Nelsen, Neill, Emerton (based on this season), MGP, Reid and Benni off of us and they might not mind having some of our other players, the likes of Savage, Friedel and Bentley would all be useful additions to their squad. What I would argue is that they are a team of big names, but that doesn't mean that they are a big or a good team. I think you can't continue to blame their poor performance on poor managers, at the end of the day if the squad was that good then they would do the business when they step out onto the pitch.

I doubt that they would offer him even that much more money.

Come on guys, he wouldn't turn down the chance to play at Ewood.

Don't forget that they also took Gallacher, we got Gillespie though.

I certainly thought that at the time theno, would have taken a very good header to get past a man on the back post and Friedel (who wasn't far away). Instead Bellamy was able to basically scuff a header into the back of the net, very soft goal, but given the amount of pressure they put us under I think that we did well to only let in the one and overall should be pleased with our defensive play, it was the midfield who let us down for that 30 minute period as they simply didn't keep hold of the ball and allowed Liverpool to launch attack after attack, something was always going to give.

Rahter than a bung being in it for him, I would think it more likely that he might be after a Chelsea player.

We are in a bit of trouble, though in my opinion the player I'd rather see put into the centre of midfield after Savage, Tugay and Mokoena would be Emerton. It would be shame given how well he has been playing at right back, but I can't think of anyone else who we have that would do a better job, unless we are prepared to change formation or bring someone in from the youth team.

Has this been fully confirmed yet?

Very good news for us.

I can tell you that any French supporter would take Gerrard or Rooney, as well as a host of other England players.

That's one way of putting it.

I think Beckham certainly needs to be recalled to the side.

England have a world class group of players, but at the moment they are far from a world class team. Yesterday was one of the worst performances (possibly the worst) I have ever seen from an England side. They never looked like scoring and looked vulnerable at the back against what was a relatively poor Croatian side (average but organised). What I do find annoying is how quickly people's opinion changes. After large wins against poor oppostion Mclaren was everyone's favourite, no w, after two poor results, people want him out. Bring back SGE, he was much better then his sidekick.

From what I have seen of the warm-ups it looks as if MGP might be taking the penalties after Lucas' miss against Sheffield United.

Have to say I find myself agreeing with Theno and Phil on this one, very rare.

Since I've really been able to appreciate football I would have to say it would be between Duff, Dunn, Jansen, Cole, Sutton, Tugay and Friedel.

You can still play for the under 21's when you are 21, you can actually play for them when you are 22 depending on when your birthday is I believe.

Good to hear from you, but did you really? I watched that game on TV and actually commented on the fact that there didn't look like there were manyt there.

I think Bellamy should be treated like any other opposition player. I don't think he deserves to be singled out for stick, but he also doesn't deserve anything like a standing ovation, one year of service and then leaving on the cheap doesn't entitle you to that.
