Even before he relieved Blackburn Rovers of the burden of playing Premier League football last
year, manager Steve Kean struggled to win the confidence of the Ewood Park faithful. The unpopular
Glaswegian is set to go down even further in the estimation of long-suffering Blackburn fans, after
he admitted he has never seen three of his deadline day transfers play.
England edged Norway 1-0 in Roy Hodgson's first match as English National Team manager on May
26, 2012.
The Three Lions started out quickly with a ninth minute Ashley Young goal. It was a great
individual effort from Young as he dribbeld past a defender before a clinical finish.
The visitors couldn't add to their lead for the rest of the match but were solid
defensively.
After a long wait we'll at last see the Smuda top boys in action once again. The challenge may
be harder that it seems as Norway is currently ranked 11th in the Fifa World rankings. It must be
because of great teamwork because, just as us, they don't have world superstars on their team.
Still, players like John Carew, John Arne Riise or Morten Gamst Pedersen should be well known to
all people seriously interested in football.
Morten Gamst Pedersen was Ireland's tormentor as Norway came from behind to snatch a late 2-1
victory at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin last night.
The Blackburn midfielder ruined keeper Shay Given's record 109th appearance for Ireland by curling
home a superb 34th-minute free-kick to cancel out Shane Long's fifth-minute penalty.
Rory Delap can consider himself very lucky that this tactic hasn't been adopted by teams up and
down the country. Tottenham quelled the threat posed by Morten Gamst Pedersen's long throw during
today's match against Blackburn by getting their fans to touch his backside during his run-up. The
statistics for Blackburn's shots on goal suggest [.
Bolton Wanderers 2-1 Blackburn Rovers Premier League 24th March 2012
In their first game since Fabrice Muamba collapsed at White Hart Lane, Bolton registered a vital
victory over fellow relegation candidates Blackburn at the Reebok.
Arsenal 7 (Seven)-1 Blackburn Rovers Premier League 4th February 2012
After a sustained period of dismal performances and almost no points, Arsenal needed to
rediscover their mojo on Saturday if they were to stay in the hunt for a top-four finish.

Blackburn Rovers 3-1 Fulham Premier League 14th January 2012
Steve Kean watched his side produce a superb battling performance at Ewood Park on Saturday, a
performance which ultimately moved Blackburn out of the relegation zone for the first time since
September.
Kean down and out After months of abuse and attacks, Blackburn manager Steve Kean must have thought
the coast was finally clear following his side's shock win at Manchester United. The minute he let
his guard down he came under attack from his own players. Morten Gamst Pedersen put in this
crunching tackle during the [.
With so much talk and reporting of sprained ligaments and torn hamstrings, it's not easy to get
football fans wincing at a highly-paid player's injury. However, Blackburn defender Scott Dann's
predicament will have men wincing up and down the country.
Chelsea came from behind to beat West Bromwich Albion 2-1 at Stamford Bridge and join Aston
Villa, Liverpool, and Newcastle United atop the Barclays Premier League standings.
Goals from Nicolas Anelka and first-half substitute Florent Malouda, who replaced Salomon Kalou,
were enough to turn the tables on the Baggies, who had taken an early lead through last weekend's
scorer Shane Long.
Aston Villa went joint top of the EPL after beating Blackburn 3-1 at Villa Park
today with goals from Gabby Agbonlahor, Emile Heskey and Darren Bent with Morten Gamst Pedersen
getting the Blackburn goal.
Guess who's coming to Villa Park... again!! I'm sure their fans are as sick of the
sight of us as we are of them. Fortunately, if we can avoid being drawn against them in both of the
cups, we won't have to see them again until the reverse of this fixture in March next year.
So, here's how the two Glaswegian managers are sending their sides out today in what will be
Alex McLeish's first home game since taking over at Aston Villa.
Quick Reminder, Real Life What an ugly season. They dropped from 10th place in 2009/10 to 15th in
the standings last season. They fired a solid if not spectacular manager in Big Sam and replaced
him with Steve Kean who excites exactly nobody. They didn't score well, they didn't defend well.
Really, the only thing that went even passably well was their defending at home which was the sixth
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.
Blackburn Rovers are fast becoming one of the most ludicrous stories in world football. A few
short weeks after firing their manager who was doing quite well, they're planning to sign a player
with a huge reputation (and ego), who plays football the way they want to be playing it. Still
managerless, Venky's London Ltd (a chicken farm company, it is suggested) that owns the club is
making a right hash of it.
Weather permitting it's Gameweek 18, this roller coaster Premier League season is about to enter
its crucial Christmas period. Three points going into the festivities will be a priority for all
managers this weekend.
Sam Allardyce can put is feet up on Saturday and watch the club that unceremoniously sacked him
take on his potential new employers.
MANCHESTER, England — Manchester United moved top of the Premier League as an incredible five
goals from Dimitar Berbatov helped Sir Alex Ferguson's side humiliate Blackburn Rovers 7-1 on
Saturday. Wayne Rooney made his first Old Trafford start since he almost left Manchester United
last month, but it was Berbatov who stole the show on [.
Newcastle United manager, Chris Hughton has recently come out and defended his team's disciplinary
record in the wake of three suspensions of major players, namely, Joey Barton for a crafty dig at
Blackburn's Morten Gamst Pedersen, Fabricio Coloccini for an elbow in in the face of Bolton's Johan
Elmander, and finally, Mike Williamson for [.
Morten Gamst Pedersen has revealed that he has received a personal phone call from Joey Barton
apologising for the punching incident last Wednesday evening. The well documented incident has been
a talking point since it occurred, as Joey was caught clearly punching Pedersen in the stomach
during Newcastle's home loss to Blackburn.
Blackburn star wants to take Toon bad boy to dinner Ladies, if you have been wondering how to get a
Premier League footballer to take you out to dinner, the answer it would appear is to punch them in
the midriff. That works for Morten Gamst Pedersen. Just days after being punched by [...]

That's our first rout of the season. The first of which we won and not the other way around. You
can count the Chelsea game as one but then it was not as one sided as this was. Blackburn tormented
us the last time we met and this was sweet revenge being exacted.
Disgruntled Blackburn fan's will no doubt vote Morten Gamst Pedersen their Player of the Year
after the attacking midfielder took un wanted manager Steve Kean out during their defeat to Stoke
during the week.
Farewell Mikel Arteta, hello Ross Barkley? is a post from: Just Football
by Jonah Loeb
A friend of mine, an Arsenal supporter, sent me an e-mail about fifteen minutes after
Mikel Arteta's £10m transfer to Arsenal went through. It began "Hope you're
holding up OK," and ended "I feel bad that it went down like this.
Orgy's are part of a staple footballers diet, they help to raise their moral when they
are feeling a tad self confident and there's nothing wrong with it at all. Apparently, this
footballer is 'Clean-cut, plays for a top 10 side and is an international player, let the
uneducated guesses and predictions begin!
Roy Hodgson has survived many low points in his short spell as Liverpool manager but Wednesday
night's 3-1 defeat at Blackburn would seem to be one disaster too far and could hasten his exit
from Anfield.
Even before Saturday's injury-time winner against Bolton the suggestion was club owners New England
Sports Ventures were actively looking for a replacement.
Back to the road for Liverpool as they visit Rovers at Ewood.
"This time will be different," my heart tells me. "No, it won't," my head says. "Oh."
An away match, celebrate! Oh, nevermind that, Roy Hodgson is still at the helm, and as Dion
Fanning so warmly and cruelly reminded us months ago, Hodgson's squads are "a walking, talking
three points for the home side.
Yesterday evening the Football Association announced that they had bought 'violent conduct'
about Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton (or '37542′ as he was briefly referred to
as for a short stretch back in mid-2008) for the sly jab he delivered to Blackburn winger
Morten Gamst Pedersen when the two sides met in the Premier League on Wednesday
night.
Arsenal capitulated in the North London derby, champions Chelsea lost again while Manchester City
scored goals against former manager Mark Hughes. In light of Arsenal and Chelsea's slip-ups,
Manchester United took advantage to go level on points with the latter at the summit. The Red
Devils overcame Wigan Athletic 2-0 at Old Trafford albeit in unconvincing style.
On Boxing Day, Martin O'Neill's Sunderland were a goal ahead and looking to pick up all three
points against Everton when, early in the second-half, the Toffees' diminutive schemer Leon Osman
ran into the Black Cats box with the intention of shooting on goal.
Joey Barton has said he will phone Blackburn's Morten Gamst Pedersen today, to apologize for the
punch he threw at him in the game on Wednesday night at St. James' Park. Joey Barton - will
apologize personally to Pedersen Joey has also said he will always have anger-management issues,
and thinks he will be unable to [.
