14 minute highlights from 2002/03.

Take a look at how we used to deal with your team, Yasir. You might have forgotten.

Rovers make a prime Arsenal look ordinary. I don't know wtf I've been watching for the last 15 years, but it hasn't been Blackburn Rovers, that's for sure. THIS is Blackburn Rovers:

 

PASHA OUT. VENKY'S OUT.

This is the real Blackburn Rovers.

How dare venkys or any of their minions try and attach themselves to this. Fuck off venkys and fuck off anyone who gives them the time of day.

If you support venkys in any way you do not support Blackburn Rovers.

It’s like watching another sport. 2 wide wingers, 2 more up front . Just Flitty and Tugay in midfield.

And the wingers taking it to the line before whipping in a cross that sends the defence into disarray.

Still, I'm sure the statistics say we shouldn't have played like that....

It was exciting though.

And a sport you could imagine playing for 'fun'. 

I play 6-a-side on a Weds evening and even that is starting to be infected with the pass it about all the time and play out from the back. Luckily most of us are old enough to ignore that and play the long ball sometimes or get to the byline and whip it in

I wonder if the way the game is played now - and coached from such a young age - means that kids don't get to enjoy the old 'jumpers for goalposts' kick abouts we used to do. Even at 15/16 I was still playing in the schoolyard with lads of all abilities - including a couple who went on to play league football or high-level non-league.

So rare to see players having a laugh - particularly with their opponents - these days. One exception was when Cole Palmer missed a sitter as his team-mate got in the way - his reaction was to kill himself laughing. Even in his interviews he seems like one who enjoys his football

I’ve said it before but during a recent game and a long bout of to you - to me - and back again I caught myself thinking - would I have fallen in love with this style of football back in the day ?
