Wolves Preview

By: Jimmy |

Proper football returns to us this weekend around the world and, more importantly, at Ewood Park as the Blackburn Rovers take on the Wanderers of Wolverhampton in the fourth league game of the season.
I’ll be honest here; this is a must win game. After this game we have league games against Everton and Villa, with [...]

Now, this isn’t directed at you, the fellow fans/readers or myself or even the club necessarily. However, over the last week I have found myself confused as to why I am happy when we draw.
Why is it that when Keith Andrews struck in the dying minutes of the game(with a great shot I might add) [...]

So, first off. And I’ll say it, I’ll say it once, and I don’t want to have to say it again. Tuncay’s goal was onside. But it was called off, and that kind of stuff happens all the time. End of.

A signing!!! Yes, a signing!!!

Only problem is, I know pretty much nothing about him.
And unless you’re a South American reader (or world football anorack), you probably don’t either.
However, what I do know has excited me somewhat. His name is Carlos Villanueva (no, not the Brewers pitcher…), a 22 year old Chilean, and he has come from Audax [...]
