  1. Emerton and Pedersen have receieved a lot of criticism this season, as have Reid and Bentley when they have played on the wings. I think this is because life as a Blackburn winger is very difficult. We don't have much aerial presence and there's very rarely many players in the box when a winger receeives the ball. Bellamy makes a run down the line from the winger and the centre midfielders always seem to prefer to lurk outside the area to get the second ball once the cross is cleared. I've also noticed that none of our players ever attack the near post at crosses.
  2. Last time we finished 6th we got 60points. The same amount will be required this season. For us not to do that we would have to have achieved less then 8points from our last 7 games which is relegation form. We're in a wonderful situation, lets not throw it away.
  3. Am I the only one who looks at Spurs' fixtures and thinks they'll struggle to win another game all season? Away games at Everton, Arsenal and West Ham; home games against Man United and Notlob. Unfortunately though none of our games are easy. Citeh and Chelsea if they're in the FA Cup final and already champions strike me as our two most winnable games. After the results in the last eight days, I think that Arsenal should take 4th, especially if they take three or more points from their next two games away at Manure and Pompey.
  4. Mark Lawrenson: "Blackburn need a win to get back on track for a European place. Though the fact they are sixth perhaps says more about the league than about them."
  5. Did you got to Lancaster Grammar? There was an agent who represented Rio Ferdinand who used to go to our school and came in to our school to do a talk on his career. It was January 2004. He was the agent of Jamie Redknapp and very good mates with him but still said that Harry Redknapp was one of the most bent managers in the league. He also said that he'd never do transer dealings with Dave Jones because he's corrupt and only ever deals with one agent. At the time he'd just signed a client of this agent - Carl Cort for £2million in a deal he described as suspicious. He also mentioned that Kevin Keegan and Graeme Souness were both in Willie Mackay's "back pocket." Lucien Mettomo anyone?
  6. Many seem to be predicting a relatively low final position and points total for Bolton. They are having a very good season, especially at home (was it eight home games in a row they won without conceding?). They also don't give any teams an easy game away from home. They got through the run of games they had when half their squad was away in Africa and they have two games in hand on most of the league (including us). Although I hate to say it, they are my tip for 4th. I know when we couldn't break down their weakened side when they had ten men for an hour that it would prove costly.
  7. If he went there and played a blinder we could end up in the Champions League ahead of Spurs. If that's the case, Spurs can be as interested as they like.
  8. OK thanks. I did use the browser back button and got the same message but I hadn't turned cookies on.
  9. I was part of that 5 minutes. I clicked on TST 7 for Trinidad and Tobago. Asked for 2, everything fine, got to the stage where I typed in my card details - great! Clicked on "Check details". I get this: Leider konnte der Bestellprozess nicht durchgeführt werden. Bitte überprüfen Sie, ob die Verwendung von Cookies in den Einstellungen Ihres Browsers zugelassen ist.

  10. TST 7 and TST 6 was just available for Ivory Coast. Same old queueing then ending up with nowt story though. I haven't really been checking the TSTs, didn't think any would come available after they went yesterday.
  11. All of a sudden some action: tickets available for Sweden Vs Paraguay, Germany Vs Costa Rica and Togo Vs Korea Republic Edit: In fact, throughout the last 15minutes, 8 or 9 games have suddenly had a few obstricted view tickets availabe. None of them were ones I was interested in though.
  12. I've had the tickets page on "refresh" for last couple of days whenever I've been at my PC but I've never even seen a glimpse of yellow.
  13. Alan Shearer's testimonial details have been announced today. 11th May: Newcastle Vs Celtic - all proceeds go to charity. I was thinking of trying to get tickets. Are any other roverites going?
  14. The fourth sales period opens on a "first come, first served" basis on Wednesday at Midday CET. Am i right in thinking that means it opens at 11am GMT?
  15. Good preview. Just one problem: In the past meetings you skip from our promotion season (the two 1-0 games) to last season. You missed out their last relegation season in the premiership when they drew 1-1 at Ewood 2nd last game of the season. Can't remember the score at their place that year but it won't be too hard to find.
  16. It's time to play like the second half of last season for the rest of the game. Everything that's been said about lack of creativity and firepower in today's line up shouldn't matter now.
  17. Pedersen has a lot more to his game than just his finishing. His off the ball movement is phenomenal and causes defenders nightmares. He's always making intelligent runs and at times has dominated games picking up the ball all over the pitch (e.g. Southampton last season, Portsmouth this season). He's got two great feet, his cross from the RIGHT wing which set up Dickov's second against West Ham was great movement and use of initiative before a good cross. His heading is better than a lot of right backs which can cause problems and is first touch is superb - he takes so many long balls in his stride. On top of his great attacking qualities, his defensive work has improved so much over the last year.
  18. In a 4-4-2 formation, Dunn and Mokoena could end up a very effective central midfield pairing.
  19. 3-2 Bentley. Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!
  20. I'm currently at York University. Does anyone know of any local radio station that covers Leeds' matches and will therefore be covering this match?
  21. The problem with 4-4-2 is that we get outplayed in the midfield against most Premiership teams because we don't have the centre midfielders to play it. It was only after Ferguson was sold that Hughes started playing it regularly. He obviously intended to play 4-4-2 this season because he played it in the friendlies and on the opening day against West Ham, a game in which we were outplayed in centre midfield. The reason was because he played two "headless chickens" in centre midfield (Savage and Reid) and Benayoun kept on coming in from the right to almost act as a third central midfielder for West Ham. In order for us to use 4-4-2 effectively we need to play a sitting player like Mokoena or Tugay alongside Reid or Savage. We could also probably do with Thompson of old on the right wing. The right hand side of a 4-4-2, cutting inside when needed was where he played his best games for us. The main reason for his poor performances at the end of last season was that he was isolated on the right of a 5 man midfield when he's not an out and out winger.
  22. The same thing that happened to Owen's apparent £11 million price tag
  23. How much can we spend in this overrated team then and what are the rules on transfers? Surely an easy way to finish bottom would be to make loads of transfers every week.
  24. Not necessarily. Remember that Taylor is left footed and Neill right footed.
