Guest WDP Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Blackburn could go down as it goes. Could we be that lucky? (*) * - feel bad towards Billy for saying that as he's a good lad... For some reason we're not flavour of the month with their supporters, probably because we've taken over their town for over 20 years when we've played there, and our perceived Billy Big Bollocks self esteem. Taking Shearer off them must've hurt a bit like, but the only reason I want them to go down is Allardyce, it would be glorious, then the next season seeing him have to take a job somewhere like Doncaster when Inter don't come calling. Wet dream time that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy will gauge their fans feelings towards us better than we can, but I've always had that impression they're not keen. When you go to Blackburn and I've been about 10 times since 91, it's like going back in time about 100 years, it's lovely in a way. I'm not just on about the fernhurst, the town centre, everything, just the way of the people, it's history right in front of your eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 27064 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 It has to be said, our record at home to these and our next opponents, Fulham is fucking awful. I put this down to the same effect where Boro seem to constantly get decent results against Man U but we don't. Players and fans mentally switch off and don't take them seriously, next thing you know, you're playing shit, one down and chasing the game. When Man U play us, even if we have a shit team, they'll walk out at SJP, feel the atmosphere, look at the surroundings and take it very seriously with Fergie drumming this to them, they won't do this at the Riverside though. We need to be completely aware that we're in for a game on wednesday and saturday as anything less than total commitment will see us with 0-1 points out the pair of these games. We can't afford a 'its only Blackburn/Fulham' attitude. I know it sounds churlish after the last three results we've had in the league, but I'll be gutted and very disappointed with 'this group of players' if we let it slip in the next two home games through a blase attitude.

Barney 0 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Agree with that HMHM. I'd be happy with a point. A win would be as important as the win at Emirates though. The opposition could be battling relegation, as could we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 27064 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 We're good enough to get six points, but Arsenal were good enough to get three off us. Attitude is the important thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Castell 0 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) I'd shy away from Carroll personally, and fights are not my thing. Love that NNile Ranger picture . And as for fans' perceptions, I had a great time in 1995 when I went to the match at Ewood Park when I was 14, but a lot of Rovers fans have believed in the 'deluded Geordie' stereotype, and did laugh when you went down the way you did. Whilst that has probably faded, it probably has not gone completely. As for us going down, it is indeed a possibility, and I understand why you'd love it. Sam is not the easiest man to like, and there are a section of Rovers fans that wish there was a better manager to replace him with. Most are thankful that he rescued us from the Ince reign of terror, but are not a fan of his football or his personality. I think we all really wanted Hughes to stay on, and not go when he did.

Asprilla 96 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Yep, the win against Arsenal won't mean anything if we fuck up at home against Blackburn and Fulham....it's not like you get more points for beating better teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesD 0 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Blackpool and Stoke were very winnable games, don't get too carried away yet! Anyway, anyone buying one of these... From NUFC.com For the game against Blackburn on Wednesday there will be three versions of the match programme on sale - all with identical content, but three different covers, each depicting one of Kevin Nolan's hat trick goals against the mackems. If you want to guarantee a set, The Back Page are taking orders now, priced @ £11 for all three, including UK postage. Ring and reserve on 0191 261 5005. Mike Ashley doesn't half know how to scrape as much money out of the fans as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 13883 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 These days I never really pick a program up unless I'm in seats where it's free anyway. £3 is a bit of a rip off, never mind £11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Park Life 70 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Takibng into consideration all the voodoo, there is no getting away from the fact that we are playing like gods atm. CH will expect 6pts from the next two, the form we are in - anything else is unnaceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 0 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) The view from the other side Christ there are some people with long grudges on there "Yes I do believe the rivalry between our clubs stems from the 697-98 season when Ethelred the Ever-ready was poached by Newcastle for an offer of 2 groats a week". And apparently Allardyce was 'treated badly by the club'. His bank account would disagree. Edited November 9, 2010 by Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Castell 0 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 There are some wankers there for sure. So much point scoring and constant in-fighting between them all. That's why I'm on this site so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 13883 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 A lot of them seem very bitter in regards to Newcastle and their views seem to be very out of date. I don't mind Blackburn and would like to go to the away match their at some point - despite what I've been told - but Allardyce is an arsehole.

Ayatollah Hermione 12775 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 I really have no ill will in the slightest to Blackburn as a club and had nothing but good experiences with the fans but Allardyce is a total cock and I would like us to turn them over simply because of that.

OTF 6193 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Carroll vs Samba will be very interesting. I'm sure they will have a lot of focus on picking up Carroll on set pieces and the like, so we need our secret weapon to be firing in this one. You know, the secret weapon who's been on our books for 15 years, has played almost 300 games and has scored almost 70 goals. Not going to say his name because I know FSA and his Blackburn cronies are closely monitoring this thread. For brevity sake the secret weapon will henceforth be referred to by his code name - Super Header of Lobbed Attacks, or SHOLA for short. Andy, SHOLA, Williamson and Colo running their plays with the well weighted corners and free-kicks from Joey Barton, yes please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
