Last day Blues…

By: David | Comments No Comments

Birmingham 4-1 Blackburn
I wrote most of this post, then my PC froze, and I’ve lost it all, so I won’t say much.
The scoreline flattered Birmingham, but you get the impression that the team didn’t particularly want to go to Lithuania sometime in July. Fair-play if I’m honest. The Intertoto is not just tiresome for [...]

The Fight for Europe! (in Birmingham…)

By: David | Comments No Comments

Last weeks results all turned out fantastically well for the Rovers and their European hopes. If we win at Birmingham and Villa don’t at West Ham then it’s 6th place and a shot at the UEFA Cup through the Intertoto (how good does that sound? - lets hope we don’t muck it up this time [...]

Chris Samba has spoken to the Lancashire Evening Telegraph (from goal.com):
Blackburn Rovers stopper Christopher Samba has admitted that he hasn’t been able to produce his top form this season.

By: David | Comments No Comments

Not a nice advert for Premier League football as Rovers failed to overcome 10 man Reading. There isn’t much to say really, though Reading keeper RSC and Marcus Hahnemann had to make a few good saves. Perhaps the best news is that we kept a clean sheet (against an offensively dangerous side) in Ryan Nelsen’s [...]

Rovers sign Vogel - nice!

By: David | Comments 1 Comment

31 year old Swiss international Johann Vogel has signed for Blackburn on a free transfer. Yet another good piece of oppurtunism by Sparky if you ask me. This guy was in the PSV first team for years, before moving to Milan. He failed to get into the Milan first team, though thats hardly a failure [...]

By: Dan Clough | Comments 3 Comments

I’ve just done a guest article over at Soccerlens about Blackburn Rovers’ start to this season.
Here it is:
Blackburn Rovers have enjoyed an excellent start to this season’s Premiership. Indeed it is the best start they’ve had since 1994/95 when they went on to take the title. So what exactly is it that the club is [...]

Larissa 2 - 0 Rovers, erm… says it all really!

By: Dan Clough | Comments 2 Comments

In the worst display of football in a Rovers game since the departure of Graeme Souness Rovers were humiliated in Greece last night!
But I don’t want to talk about it, so to cheer me up, here’s the Blackburn boys on Soccer AM last Saturday!

And for those who want to see just what the f**k happened [...]
