  • It's certainly no

    "Commander Comcast", Middlesbrough's co-mascot in the 98/99 season.

  • well arabs are well known for having a lot of oil

    and oil is a fossil fuel like gas, and rovers were known as the gas, so i'm guessing this is a move to affiliate themselves with Oil rather than gas in the hope that a rich oil barron with no chance of losing out in the credit crunching will buy them and take them all the way to the championship

        interestingly enough, the memorial ground is the only non-Reading ground i've ever been to.

        • In other brsitol rovers and australian news

          I saw a man in a rovers shirt, in a shopping centre in sydney emptying the bins. Suppose it beats emptying the bins in Somerfield or something.
