Roeder reveals tumour taunts Former Hammers manager asked by fans: 'Why didn't you die three years ago?' Former Hammers boss Glenn Roeder has revealed the extent of the abuse he took during Newcastle's 2-0 win at Upton Park, claiming fans taunted him over the brain cancer he suffered while managing West Ham during their Premiership relegation season in 2003, dubbing him "tumour boy" and asking "why didn't you die three years ago?" Roeder collapsed in his office in April that year, and did not return to his post until the following season, when he was sacked after a poor start in the then First Division. He had previously led the club to a seventh-place Premiership finish in 2002. "One of the saddest things about Sunday was that when I looked at the faces of some of the people who were shouting at me, they were men of my age," Roeder said. "Men in their forties and fifties, men screaming about brain tumours and death, men who, God forbid, might find themselves in the same position as me one day. "At least I was there to hear them yelling what they were yelling. I'm much happier that I'm alive to hear it and not lying beneath the ground somewhere. I was lying on a table for five hours when I had my brain operation and I recovered from my illness and I have moved on." The trouble started after Roeder waved to Newcastle fans who were chanting his name - something he did on the advice of match delegate Peter Shreeves. "I didn't want any more trouble," he added. "I didn't want our result to be overshadowed. I just wanted to move on. But I think the Newcastle fans would have found it upsetting if I had not acknowledged them when they shouted my name. I do feel that in this politically correct world of ours, the majority stay silent and we let ourselves be controlled by the loud minority. "And it is also important to mention that when I came out of the tunnel at the start, there were just as many West Ham fans clapping me as shouting at me." http://football.guardian.co.uk/News_Story/0,,1876726,00.html

I was thinking about this earlier, is Nugent really any better than Chopra or Rasiak? He was playing against Chopra in this game and didn't score. got brought down for a pen, which Chopra also did, but Chopra also scored 2 and hit the bar with a free-kick nugent was practically knocked out in the first half and was taken off at half time. CORRECT, looked like he nearly broke his neck

Blackburn confirm Intertoto plan Mark Hughes has confirmed Blackburn will enter the Intertoto Cup if they do not qualify for Europe automatically. Mid-table Rovers' Uefa Cup exit leaves them to seek qualification through their Premiership position for a second season in a row. But the Blackburn boss is eyeing Intertoto Cup as a failsafe. Hughes said: "More clubs see the Intertoto as a decent option, they changed the format and it's a more attractive competition." Rovers went out of the Uefa Cup to Bayer Leverkusen 3-2 on aggregate at the last-32 stage on Thursday following a goalless draw at Ewood Park. Blackburn face a replay against Arsenal to keep their FA Cup hopes alive and Hughes is looking for his side to put a good run of form together to carry them into a high enough position to qualify for a Uefa Cup spot. Hughes said: "We need to pick up points in the league and our home form is going to be crucial." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/blackburn_rovers/6392337.stm We want it too i presume
