Another Transfermations, this time, Blackburn...
Where that stand:
Avoiding relegation was the priority last season, but Blackburn are a thinning squad with Phil
Jones gone and Christopher Samba on his way. It's obvious that The Venkys need to strengthen
somewhat to avoid a repeat.
Liverpool endured another miserable night away from home in the Premier League with a hiding from
Blackburn Rovers, of all teams.
This was an abject performance by most of the players on show at Ewood Park.
Glen Johnson was guilty of very poor marking which led directly to two of the goals, while the
normally reliable 'Soto' was guilty of allowing Benjani to turn and score in the box, comical.

The ankle injury which saw Meireles removed from Saturday's match in the 20th minute rules him out
of Wednesday's match at Blackburn.
LONDON, England — Chelsea were sent spinning to a shock 1-0 defeat at Wolves on Wednesday as
the Premier League champions fell further behind in the title race and left manager Carlo Ancelotti
clinging to his job. An own goal by defender Jose Bosingwa after five minutes handed victory to
Wolves, who climbed out of [.
He's in a Premier League sack race, don't worry, there will be no egg and spoon race to
follow...Well, where do i start? The predictable reintroduction of the bumbling Paul Konchesky? The

You just wouldn't let it lie, would you?
The ongoing tiff between Blackburn mongrel El-Hadji Diouf and everyone
on the staff at Queens Park Rangers is showing no signs of abating any time soon, after the
Senegalese forward responded to Neil Warnock's 'sewer rat' taunts by calling the
R's manager a non-entity.
Ready for a rant?
I have developed an irrational dislike of Blackburn Rovers. Firstly, there's the name ....
Rovers. Where do they rove,? Has Gamst Pederson roved and if so why wasn't he arrested in the act
of roving? Blackburn, so named because it is dirty, the civil buildings are swathed in soot and
the street urchins have a clear dislike of water (before I am accused of Northern-ism, I have spent
many happy weekends in the town).

I would have opened this post with an extremely comical quote that featured a comparison between
Benjani and Torres but the weekend's developments in the premier league put paid to that.
Maxi Rodriguez could be set for a landmark 50th league appearance for Liverpool if he is selected
for the Boxing Day clash with Blackburn Rovers.
