Not exactly true though I wanted them to go down.

Leyton Orient 0-3 Tranmere!

Another good win! Season finale at home next weekend against Swindon!

[Locke]

Its time to crush Swindon when they're down!

[GirlySports]

Last game of the season, Tranmere loses to Swindon Town 0-2

We were doing them a favour to try and keep the rivalry alive.

[Locke]

We're being poached!

Tranmere manager Les Parry has confirmed Bayern Munich have made an undisclosed offer for teenage striker Dale Jennings.

Parry said talks were on-going between the two clubs about Jennings, 18, who made his debut for Rovers in September last year.

Liverpool-born Jennings stepped off the bench to make his first-team debut last September in the home draw against Charlton and made his first start the following Saturday at Colchester. He made a total of 32 appearances last season for Rovers, scoring six goals.

No kidding.

Dortmund ran away with the league last season, finishing seven points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen with Bayern back in third, ten points behind Jurgen Klopp's men.

That relative failure has prompted a fresh recruitment drive, with Germany No. 1 Manuel Neuer moving to the Allianz Arena from Schalke along with former Schalke full-back Rafinha and striker Nils Petersen, who arrived from Energie Cottbus.

Manchester City defender Jerome Boateng, Leverkusen midfielder Arturo Vidal and Gamba Osaka striker Takashi Usami are also reportedly on the wish-list of new coach Jupp Heynckes, as well as Tranmere teenager Dale Jennings.

Which of these things is not like the others? I mean wow. You're talking about going from Tranmere Rovers to being on the wishlist for one of Europe's Superpowers? What are we missing when we're looking at this kid?

[GirlySports]

Getting closer and it sounds like a very big deal!

TRANMERE could be headed for their biggest transfer windfall in more than five years if a deal with Bayern Munich for exciting teenage prospect Dale Jennings goes through.
Rovers are negotiating a package believed to be worth £500,000 up front and rising well beyond £1 million once Jennings signs pro forms and plays half a dozen senior games for the Bundesliga giants.
Liverpool born Jennings, 18 has signalled his enthusiasm for a move to Germany after breaking into first-team football with Tranmere last season. If negotiations stall, West Ham are reported to be ready to move in with a similar bid although manager Les Parry says Rovers have not yet received an official contact from the London club.
West Ham are understood to have made an attempt to sign Jennings during the transfer window last January when Avram Grant was the manager at Upton Park but the £600,000 up-front offer was declined by Tranmere.

Almost done!

The transfer will not be the most expensive of the summer, it will have no bearing on the destiny of the Premier League title and it will not insult the intelligence with heartfelt pleas to be closer to home or the kids. But it is still the most intriguing that English football has to offer. Take a bow Dale Jennings, the forward Liverpool rejected at 15 and who, three years and 30 appearances for Tranmere Rovers later, is on the verge of joining the four-time European champions Bayern Munich. Jennings will undergo a medical in Munich on Wednesday and minus any unforeseen hitches, sign for the giants of Germany in a deal worth an initial £600,000 to Tranmere. Once add-ons are included, involving the 18-year-old signing senior professional forms for Bayern and appearing for the first team, the deal could rise to £1.8m.
It is a transfer that reflects the teenager's natural talent, his willingness to listen to Tranmere's youth coaches and his impact upon making the first team last September, one month before signing his first professional contract. It also invites the question, how the hell did that happen?

Jennings for England U21?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/foo...los-radar.html

Fabio Capello has given the go-ahead for the FA to start grooming Tranmere's teen sensation Dale Jennings into an England star of the future.

In addition to keeping a close eye on the forward during his opening months in German football, the FA will stay in regular contact with Bayern as they seek updates on how he is developing.
England's next Under 21 fixture is against Azerbaijan on September 1 - and manager Stuart Pearce is considering giving Jennings his first international call-up for the clash.

This kid is the hottest thing in England right now!

7th place! Almost in promotion territory. I really think this is Max Power's season to shine.

Tranmere at Doncaster today in the Carling. I must say 'Keepmoat Stadium' is a hilariously English name, I like it.

Les Parry:

Parry has no other major concerns as his men seek to build on their morale-boosting victory over the League Two champions at the weekend.

It was a performance which filled Parry with confidence ahead of the trip to the Keepmoat Stadium to face Championship opposition.

The Rovers boss said: "It was nice keeping the clean sheet and winning the game was extra nice. It was the perfect result.''

Yeah, I'm going to give it a shot.

You're going down you Doncaster Basterds. Oooh...if we still had Dale Jennings this would be a sure thing.

In all this time I think I've only ever gotten to actually watch one Rovers match. I'm working on it though.

[Locke]

Sonuvabitch!

First of all, that fat swine Basterd Stan Ambrose is hogging all the air time and secondly Tranmere are down 1-0 to Doncaster after 5 minutes.
