[Archived] Blackburn Rovers vs Tottenham Hotspur preview

[OsloRover]

Rochina for Simon, Yak for Formica. Must mean 4-4-2?

Formica has been decent

[Mike Graham]

Any in ground protests yet?

[hesfromburn]

WHY!!?? FORMICA HAS LOOKED DECENT WHAT THE HELL HAS ROBERTS DONE!

Rochina for Simon, Yak for Formica. Must mean 4-4-2?

Formica has been decent

And he has scored, which means he'll be benched for the next six games under Kean.....

[Hekla]

Kean has got to go after this, stupid taking players off that are playing well instead of wasters.

[Mike Graham]

62% possession for Rovers. At least Kean will have something to boast about if we get beaten.

COYB

Any in ground protests yet?

If there are, I'm ashamed to be a rovers supporter. The team deserves praise for this performance, defeat or no.

Result is all that matters to me, good performance or not.

Protests arn't against the team buddy, the protests are against the moron in charge of it.

[broadsword]

Roberts is absolutely bomb-proof.

Maybe fat Baz has been on the blower to Kesn with his team selection. Him and Jason are tight, probably.

[Mike Graham]

Tend to agree with Oslo, protests are for before and after the game, and should be aimed at Venkys and Kean NOT the players.

If Rovers lose:

P- 9, W-1, D- 2, L-6

That's relegation form.

Roberts must have some compromising photos of the owners and Steve Kean together. It's the only explanation why he continually plays.

[broadsword]

On that basis, you'd expect to lose 26 games over the course of the season, drawing 8 and winning 4, giving you 20 points.

[Rover Down Under]

Donkey Roberts off for Goodwillie.

He knows the secret ingredients in Venkys Chicken.

[Commondore]

Was that just the biggest cheer of this half when Roberts came off? Sad but completely understandable.

Our final ball has been terrible for all this game. Diabolical, even.

[sam_rovers]

Im expecting Kean to say something like this " It would have been a clean sheet but for the 2 goals they scored, so that's a positive we'll take to the next game"

[DE.]

I wonder if after we lose ANOTHER home match we're still going to be only slightly off our points target?

[Mike Graham]

22,786

Did we give tickets away?

[Hekla]

Top ten finish?

He won't be able to use the 'we do well against london clubs' rubbish. Listening on radio london, they actually say we are playing ok.

[broadsword]

He knows the secret ingredients in Venkys Chicken.

From the smell of I've got a good idea what the secret ingredients are.

Norwich away after this (got to hope for a point?) then Chelsea at home. If teh score stays as it is, we'll be bottom tonight. QPR currently winning, and Everton won earlier. Bolton away to Swansea next week and Wigan play host to Fulham. If things go against us next Saturday, we'll be looking at a small gap opening up.

[chocky]

I think most Rovers fans are resigned to Championship football next season..KEAN OUT.

[OsloRover]

Come on guys. We are battering them, spurs are hanging on for dear life.

The selection was good, the commitment from the players as good as anything since the Hughes era, tactics good, subs mostly good.

Kean will no doubt sprout the usual post-match positivity but for the first time I will actually tend to agree with him.

We played well, better than in any match this season. Play like this in every match and there is no way we will go down.
