I think we can close the chapter on the Europe push, despite the inevitable "we can still do it/we have to win every game" soundbytes coming your way before the weekend from the players.

We done really well to put us in a position to qualify for Europe but unfortunately choked at the wrong time. With all the predictions of us wiping all before us next season I'd be a little concerned that we can't put matches to bed when we need to most.

A visit to Blackburn is no easy feat these season, despite them being a bit underwhelming. The big titanium jawed galoot Allardyce has his team of ten grocks and one cock (no prizes for guessing) tough at Ewood Park and to bring anything away will be difficult, despite their team being a bit [Poor language removed] on paper.

We usually take a good following to Blackburn based on proximity even though the areas and creatures around the ground are like something from a parallel universe, one where human species has gone into reverse somewhat and where male ear rings and Joe Bloggs jeans are seemingly irresistible to the females.

Wonder how Everton will approach this one? We took a couple of knocks against (the) Villa speaking of which, why on Merseyside does Asda have a prefix of "the"? I've never noticed it anywhere else.

Heitinga is a worry and Arteta came come back too soon. And the rest will be the rest, it's all a bit of end of season isn't it?
 

We're gonna lose.

I'd seriously consider just playing all the defenders we have, and send them out to batter them. Cause let's face it, thats all they're gonna do to us.

i work in blackburn. it's like they made a whole city out of royston vasey. the kind of place that has a reasonably sized population, but has an ominous quiet; you can't go five minutes without hearing a crow eerily in the distance. the men go out in T-shirts no matter what month it is.

it is actually set in a nice part of the world, but then they built a bunch of [Poor language removed] factories all over it, then put the locals (who would normally spend their time scrabbling around in the mud wondering if what they were eating was a turnip or their own knee) to work behind complicated machinery and then wonder why the A&E is always busy. it is a place where they make up for lack of teeth by having extra fingers.

the only good thing to be said for it is that it isn't burnley.

Wonderful. I laughed so loudly the dog got scared and barked at me.

At least put Rodwell in there.
 
I'm excited for this game! Purely for the fact that I'm going, and it's the first proper away game I've had the chance to make it to all season. (Anfield doesn't count. And I was supposed to be going to Villa until they moved it.)

i had this game down as a home win from quite a while ago but the fact that we are playing good in fits and starts one nevers knows
 
Rover To You: Toffees have their say

(Hope i'm not breaking rules by posting this) I'm from the Blackburn Rovers forum Roverstalk Roverstalk and wanted to ask you a few questions about the upcoming match, views on Blackburn, views on your season and speculation about Moyes' future.

You're safely cemented in 8th place in the table, has the season lived up to your expectations?

Injury woes have dogged your season at times, how do you think this impacted upon your position (and could you be pushing the likes of Spurs, City and the Reds for 4th if it wasn't for injuries?)

Who have been your standout performers this season?

Moyes is regularly touted as Ferguson's successor, how would he do in the job? And who would be his replacement

I've recently been around Goodison in a stadium tour, and whilst its bigger than Ewood is it's size hampering Evertons progress?

Were you in favour of Evertons proposed move away from Goodison to either the Tesco backed stadium at Kirby or the King's Dock stadium on the banks of the Mersey?

What are your general impressions of Blackburn as a club?

Any standout memories of this fixture in the past?

What sort of tactics will Moyes employ?

What'll the score be?
