Wolves Preview

By: Jimmy | Comments 4 Comments

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 [...]

The Search for a Striker Continues

By: Jimmy | Comments 2 Comments

As the season’s start creeps quicker and quicker, we have still not found that striker (well two strikers) we need to sign to replace RSC and Matty Derbs, and the situation is starting to turn from “when we will get one?” to “will we get one?”

No Ruud, No Crouch, Maybe Vieri, and Yuri Zhirkov?!?

By: Jimmy | Comments 2 Comments

Lots of stuff to talk about today, so I’ll jump right to it.
In this interview with SkySports, Sam talks about how Ruud is now out of contention and the Rovers attention.
“I think probably Ruud, from a salary point of view, is out of our reach. And I think he is not going to be fit [...]

Rovers 0-2 Chelsea w/ Highlights

By: Jimmy | Comments 1 Comment

It was monsoon season at Ewood park this weekend in the Rovers’ home clash against Chelsea. My hopeful wish of Rovers starting a home winning streak was clearly not to be. By the end of the game, there was so much standing water on the pitch that there seemed to be more puddles then [...]

Chelsea Preview and Updates

Well Chelski make their way to Ewood Park for the early game this Sunday. Now this is a case oh kicking the dog while it’s down after their thrashing at the hands of Roma during the Champions League this week. This fixture last year saw Rovers play hard but fall 1 nil. I realistically can’t [...]
