As satisfying as Saturday's victory over Sunderland was, the highlight of the weekend for me was the way Rovers brushed themselves off 48 hours later to record a stunning 4-4 draw with Aston Villa at White Hart Lane!

Of course I am jokingly referring to the 125th Anniversary of Tottenham Hotspur (125 years? Is that all!), where they wore a Blue and White Halved Kit to play against Villa in their Monday Night Fixture.

They say that imitation is a form of flattery and Spurs certainly reminded me of a less well-aged and slightly less attractive version of the World's Best Town Team that we all know and love.

Perhaps after continually being linked with our superior players in the (Southern biased) Press they felt this was the best way to jump on the Rovers revolution and get their season started!

But I am only half-joking when I say I think it is now time to get the World Famous Blue and White Halves placed under the same official protection as historical buildings and places of natural beauty.

We were donning our same strip years before most of the "big" clubs both in England and the rest of the world had even been dreamed up and we can't have the Johnny-Come-Lately Londoners or anyone else just hitching a lift on our rich history. Campaigners, lets get started!

Finally on a more serious note, Rovers have a huge game later this week as we attempt to overcome a 2 goal deficit in the UEFA Cup against Larissa.

Mark Hughes and other prominent members of the Club feel we have a real chance for Glory in Europe this year and it would be a real shame to fall at this early hurdle.

Tickets are at 1980's prices once again so hopefully everyone will contribute to a decent sized gate and help roar Rovers on to the Group Stages.

See you there!
