Good evening all
Last season's Premier League fixture consigned Blackburn to bottom place at Christmas and we did the double over our lovely neighbours.
Head-to-head, Wanderers have 64 wins, Blackburn have 59, with 37 draws. It seems to me that we have had a lot of drawn games over the last 10 years.
Did you know?
Blackburn is named after the River Blakewater. Blackburn with Darwen Borough Council manages a site for gypsies and travellers in the Ewood area of the town. Ewood Park commenced a redevelopment programme in 1994, but they never got round to finishing it off.
Our predictions - a very even split
Wanderers win - 15

10 points off the bottom three and 6 games unbeaten, time for some plank to start a relegation battle thread.

Petrov.
Sorry mate. My signal went AWOL and my fingers went cold.
As it happens, yeah, I was the bald guy.
Didn't think we were great today. Mears looks very shakey but a win is a win.

TRR.
I thought a draw would have been unfair on us. I agree with the Mears opinion.
I thought the last 10 mins DF's final sub caused as when Eagles went off we lost an outlet. I felt SKD off and Ngog on would have eased us to the end much better. We must be trying to sell Pratley as that's the only reason I can see for giving him game time.

i would have met you petrov but i was stood in the bottom tier.skd goal was the 4th bolton goal ive missed from games ive been too this season.just did not realise they had started.one or two things to moan about tonight.£12.40 for 3 pints and a pie.i thought i was back down south again at those prices.why no replay of the bolton goals on the big screen?the tannoy man at ht why did he announce the premier league scores as loud as he could.did he not realise some people would like to watch match of the day when they get in later without knowing the scores the inconsiderate git.

After catching up on this thread and noticing the nearly forum meet up I'd suggest we try and get as many of us as possible to meet for a pre-match beer before the Ipswich game on Saturday. Put a few faces to usernames. etc.
That'll be fun for those who don't know each other suspiciously eying up a group of people gingerly asking them if they're such and such from the internet.
