THE OPPOSITION VIEW - Blackburn Rovers (Home)

Justin, Carl and Pete are joined by Ian from 4000 Holes (in Blackburn Lancashire) to talk all things Watford v Blackburn & Pete doesn’t know what day it is per normal. We find out about a club who lost their big goal scoring names and seem to be finding players for little or no money with a Manager who is trying to do everything seemingly by himself. We find out that you can sign players on loan from Russian clubs (although Pete demonstrates he doesn’t know the difference between CSKA and Spartak) but they will inevitably be found on the treatment table or not in the team as they are not fit (sound familiar?). As if the similarities so far aren’t enough we find out the foreign funding taps appear to have been turned off – in their case though by the Indian government! We discuss how clubs look to sell tickets without making any signings that signal any ambition for the season with managers trying to recreate the football of Man City! Justin implores everyone to vote for us in the Football Content Awards, Pete starts talking about musicals for no apparent reason and then bangs on about why Coldplay and football should not be combined. We find out which member of the Wharton family Ian and the Blackburn fans are keen on this year, Carl complains about Stoke other than the size of the beer glasses and Justin gets philosophical whilst carrying on the beer theme. We do the prediction thing with a sense of incompetence that we describe as charmingly shambolic with its very own alphabetical order. This week the Backgammon plays tribute to Watford and Blackburn goal getter – Danny Graham! We discuss why Vincent Kompany is both the nicest and thus the most annoying person, Justin tries to get Carl to sing and then we discuss why Harrogate should be where Harrogate is and we start planning the DNSYE Christmas outing at the reverse fixture!
