Overall, Manchester United were the better team and deserved the win, but I feel they should have achieved it themselves without ludicrous refereeing.

The penalty was perhaps dubious, there is leg contact. However there were other better shouts not given - did Gerrard learn from the Rover's hooligan or vice versa?
Teams down to 10 men often play better than ever, but at the end of the day it is the scoreline that counts - but of course Rovers had already lost interest in the FA Cup before this weekend:D

As to the comments of the plazzy Mancs in regard to Kenny I suggest you take note of post #293.

Last night truly was another poor performance in a string of poor performances, that being so surely even the most brain dead die hard fan can see that the fault lies purely with the overpaid, over rated Prima Donna players & not the scapegoat known as the manager ! I like Ian Holloway & what he has done with Blackpool & wish him every success for the future, he has shown that with proper motivation, limited budget, hard work & a decent ethical approach great things can be achieved, a point sadly missing in some of our supposed "Top Clubs" of today in an over primping, money driven Premier League ! :(

Sorry Jay, but it was 5 years between Rovers winning the Premiership and Jack Walker's death. He also broke the British transfer record twice, so there is some truth in the statement that he bought the title. What happened after the '94/95 season - did he lose interest or what?
As for Burnley, well, ruined by an ego - the Butcher Boy, but I did watch them play in the European Cup against Hamburg - and they won, back in the late '50s long before Rovers played in the European Cup.
At the end of the day, it all comes around that goes around. Mancie has been there since the '70s, for me it was Coleman, Edwards, Taylor and the like that caught my imagination - and my unswerving loyalty.
Each of us to his own, let us continue to enjoy the banter and most of all enjoy the football :):):)

I think because there isn't a great deal of Spurs support on this site & added to that they haven't really "challenged" for the title in recent years. Ok they've had a 4th place finish in 2009/10 & 5ths through 2005/07, but you have to go back to 1989/90 for a 3rd place & even further back to 1950/51 when it was Div 1 for a championship title.

if Rovers bought the title then so did the big clubs with money before us.
At that time rovers never bought any champions league and massive international superstars.
sherwood superstar from norwich city ? i dont think he was ever thought of as that..Le saux from chelsea reserves both at £ 600,000 a piece !!.
Something ive noticed is Spurs spending year after year for over the last decade maybe.They are constantly about 3rd highest spenders and this never gets mentioned. so Recent example is spurs ,in the last maybe 5 years,thats under martin jol,someone else? ( cant recall if someone inbetween ? ) Harry Rednapp have spent around £ 150 million in them 5 years!! now that really is big money folks..NOT JUST 28 MILLION THAT IS IT :eek:

TOPSPURS - the world famous unofficial home of Spurs on the internet

Here's where I got the info

Anyway to get back on track, Robbed again ! Pretty poor showing first half despite going one up. As to the total miscarriage of a decision by the ref at the start of the 2nd half allowing Everton to equalise, then go on to knock in another I have to say Everton were the better team for the first 20 mins of the 2nd, then the Pool got their arses into gear & at least managed to pull out a draw, should really have been KD's first home win !

Nobody can BUY the title it takes more than just money, at United it money and Fergie, at Ewood it was Jacks Money Kenny and don't for get Ray Harford, at Arsenal money plus Wenger, if it was money alone City will win it every year for the foreseeable future as yet they don't look like winning once.;)

Originally Posted by Barrie Yates (Post 875971)

You are perfectly correct Jay, I seem to remember Sunderland trying to do that in the '50s - think i saw them at Ewood when Shackleton played, but it didn't work out - mind you that really is the dim and distant past:):):) P.S. Denis Irwin came from Oldham after their Cup run and £1M for Cantona, cheaper than S & S - either of them, what a buy. Arguably the most influential player for decades.:D
