(staying with some friend in Preston, hence the early return).
Let's be honest, that was a very, very poor perfomance. Blackburn definitely deserved more and after having over 30 shots, are bound to feel hard done by. However, do I care a jot? Nope. A win like that is all the more satisying.
The atmosphere was pretty subdued, especially second half, but that was probably to do with the team's perfomance and nerves. Had a row with some racist idiot behind me, who thought it hilarious to call Hoillett/Shola/Blackburn's number 9/anyone with skin darker than his a "black c*nt" for 90 minutes.
Massive shout out to Perch, who, after some ironic cheers for a decent pass early on, won the crowd over with a genuninely brilliant display. Pardew had to change at half time, the 433 really wasn't working - Jonas doesn't convice me centrally. Felt a bit sorry for Hatem, but someone had to go off and he hadn't played well.
5th in the league, DoubleDemba back. With Ba in the team I really think we will beat Villa. The amount he adds to our team, aside from goals is huge.
(also, **** Hoillett for his ridiculous dive in the first half. Not suprised Raylor was upset)
