So Paul Lambert didn’t win the manager-of-the-season award. Oh well…
“We did it to Tottenham, we’ll do it to you…” Fair play to whoever coined that chant on Saturday – although it would be a nice change to hear something that wasn’t based on Sloop John B – because no one could have surely seen either a result or a performance like this in advance.
Well, shots rained in on goal as home-based footballers tried their level best to come out on top. But that’s enough about the half-time crossbar challenge.
Listening to local radio on the way to Ewood Park, Steve Kean was declaring: “This is like a cup tie for us.”
Well, at least it wasn’t 7-1.… I do have some complaints about Saturday, but not about my side, who could have really thrown the towel in early on and at least managed to keep the visiting supporters quiet until the third goal went in.
