[Archived] Blyth Spartans Vs Blackburn Rovers

[Hughesy]

Tonight will be very interesting. I wonder if that message is aimed at the likes of Derbyshire/ Simpson too?

Hopefully we win through easily... we really should have too much in the locker for this lot. 4-0 Rovers!

Just having a little bit of stodge beofre making my way to the pub prior to journeying North.

As for Mike going barechested witht he Leyland lads, your on your own, forecast is MINUS 8

[Tris]

Time to hit the road from sunny, snowy Darwen as well. Can't wait for this one ... it's the next best thing to a European Tour!

[Ste B]

Reeto, time to go !!

[EwoodGlory]

Weather still looking alright here, no frost, ice or snow.

[novella]

im about an hour south of blyth in middlesbrough and its clear skies, this one will definatly be on. Its absolutely bitter out though.

[AussieinUk]

Looking forward to watching this one. C'mon Rovers

Anything greater than 2/3-0 will be a great result for me

[Ozz]

Good luck to all those travelling up, may make it to the pub over the road if little goes to bed early!

I thought they were playing tonight.

[modes98]

no great giant killings over the weekend

The richest club in the world lost to Notts Forrest. Also Hartlepool beat Stoke.

Couple of ones you missed there.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Going for a 2-0 win here, it won't be pretty nor easy but i feel we have the quality to beat Blyth over 90 minutes. Though if there’s any complacency in the mindset of the players or thinking the result is a forgone conclusion there’s a chance we will get beat.

[Hughesy]

If there is any of that then at least Sam has made it clear they will probably be sold.

[Presty On Tour]

Looking forward to this now, hope we give them a good thrashing!

[American]

Have you got the right Blyth? We don't have a Blyth Arms

We really are going to need an update on this one!

I've googled Blyth Arms and there isn't one........anywhere......in the world!

However, there's a Blyth Hotel....about 300 miles away...in Suffolk

[DeadlyDirk]

Sam throwing down the gauntlet!

There is a Blyth in Nottinghamshire and a Blyth in Suffolk but I don't think either of them have a Blyth Arms either. Perhaps its a grandly named park bench?

Well fair play, they've been warned!

Will be interesting to see who plays, I'd still like to see Carlos get a chance, although he hasn't done it quite yet I think he at least deserves a chance to show what he can do, playing him up top with Derbyshire would be a good option as Carlos better games were when he was through the center.

Our reserve midfield should be interesting considering were more or less down to that half the time anyway lately with injuries!

Something like below perhaps.

Brown

Simpson

Zurab

Samba?

Olsson

Judge

Mokoena

Grella

Treacey

Derbyshire

Villanueva

Should be enough to see of Blyth but they'll be up for it and flying into every tackle, the pitch will be poor and conditions terrible. I'd settle for a 1-0!! Let's hope for 4 or 5 though!!

hey guys i just arrived in Blyth, wasn't actually the Blyth Arms as I thought, I got muddled up with another pub in another city.

... why is it so cold here? I will be wearing every piece of clothing I have bought with me with the mighty blue and white as the ultimate overlay.

amazing feeling about this game, such an atmosphere around this town and everyone has a smile. I'm at an internet cafe at the moment and you boys better be up for a beer after we flog this lot 10 to zip

Thank God for that! Nobody knew where you had gone to!

And you may have noticed, you are in the Northern Hemisphere, and its winter buddy!

Lawro Comedy Hour

Blyth Spartans v Blackburn (2000 GMT)

Verdict: 0-2

I once saw Preston beat Blyth Spartans in the FA Cup in 1974, though that was in a replay after a 1-1 draw in the first game!

I just think that big Sam Allardyce is going to turn Blackburn into a team that is hard to beat and they should go through to the next round.

*gulp*

[benlloninho]

This one is coming on the television over here! I get to see us play for about the third time this season.

My dislike for Larwo grows with every word he writes/comes out of his mouth. Great so he thinks were going to make it difficult for Blyth to beat us and hope to hit them on the counter!!

There 118 places below us, it should already be hard enough for them to beat us!!

[Tom]

Is it just me who thinks Lawro's assessment is quite fair for once?

He knows it wont be a full strength team, I'd be hesitant to expect a walkover.
