Blackburn Rovers

Michel Salgado has taken a swipe at Gareth Bale, accusing the Tottenham winger of diving in Blackburn’s defeat at White Hart Lane on Saturday.
Bale went down in the penalty box twice in the second half of the match under challenges from Salgado and Morten Gamst Pedersen, with Howard Webb waving away both decisions, but opting [...]

This was just about satisfactory. Another three points won in the race for fourth, but to be honest we won this game without really getting out of 3rd gear. Big players had quiet games – Modric, Defoe, Pavlyuchenko, Kranjcar……but we had plenty enough to deal with Blackburn.
The visitors were quite bright in the first half, [...]

Gomes (7) – Not much to do as in general, the goal apart, he was well protected.
Corluka (6) – It’s difficult for him without Lennon in front of him as Kranjcar wandered all over the shop. Struggled with Olsson on occasions.
Assou-Ekotto (7) – Combined well with Bale going forward. Comfortable at the back.
Dawson (7) – [...]

It’s as though half the day has gone missing, you’ve suffered some sort of memory lapse and despite missing out on the several hours of build up and anticipation that’s normal before a home game you [...]

Like a craggily-bearded convict using the walls of his cell to chalk off the days until freedom, it is with growing excitement that I desecrate the walls of AANP Towers with scribbles signifying another game played, and another win recorded. Nine games to go, and our heroes are fulfilling their side of the bargain. I [...]

We played some good stuff today, particularly in the first half but the endeavours of these good periods did not produce the goal tally they maybe deserved. Instead Blackburn conceded from a corner in the first half that evaded all on the near post as Defoe scored from close range and twice in the second [...]

Harry Redknapp claimed that he never has a good refereeing display from Howard Webb.

Early start in the morning to pick up G and make sure we get our normal parking place but hey – we’re fourth going into the game and if we perform we can put more pressure on Liverpool. One problem, we’ve a squad full of injury and so Blackburn – who are not – have [...]

Strangely nervous ahead of this one, precisely because we are such overwhelming favourites. We at AANP Towers would happily trade all of the following for three points, in any way or form, but as I idle away the final minutes of the day-job, the following notions float to mind…
