Last Sunday’s gubbing means that we know that 15 league and at least 2 Champions League games are all that remain of the 2010/11 campaign. These season defining fixtures begin on Wednesday evening when we take on Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park. Most people hoped that at this point we’d be buoyed by a new face up front, a man to finally add some sharpness...

Blackburn Rovers have entered the race to sign David Beckham on loan. Tottenham are the favourites to land the LA Galaxy midfielder until March, but Rovers boss Steve Kean has confirmed his interest. “I think we will sign at least three, possibly four, we might have one on loan at least at this stage that is the way it is looking,” Kean told the Lancashire...

Blackburn are set to receive an offer from Tottenham for unsettled defender Christopher Samba. That is what is being reported by the Mirror.  Samba was unhappy with the sacking of Sam Allardyce at the end of last year and wants out of Ewood Park. Although Spurs have six central defenders, there are still fitness doubts over Jonathan Woodgate and Ledley King. Fulham...

Tim Sherwood has distanced himself from the vacant managerial position at Blackburn Rovers.

After the euphoria, disappointment and frustration of the last three games I wonder what Spurs have in store for us this weekend? Experiencing the whole gamut of emotions is part of the pleasure and pain of being a football fan but how much would we all welcome a boring & routine home win? It’s Blackburn though and it’s Allardyce so the chances of the...

BBC football pundit Mark Lawrenson has predicted that Tottenham Hotspur will beat Blackburn Rovers tomorrow. He told BBC Sport Online: “Blackburn had an excellent win against Newcastle on Wednesday, and that would have delighted manager Sam Allardyce, but it will be difficult for them to reproduce that against Tottenham. “I cannot believe Tottenham got booed...

Michel Salgado has taken a swipe at Gareth Bale, accusing the Tottenham winger of diving in Blackburn’s defeat at White Hart Lane on Saturday. Bale went down in the penalty box twice in the second half of the match under challenges from Salgado and Morten Gamst Pedersen, with Howard Webb waving away both decisions, but opting out of cautioning the Welshman. Salgado...

This was just about satisfactory. Another three points won in the race for fourth, but to be honest we won this game without really getting out of 3rd gear. Big players had quiet games – Modric, Defoe, Pavlyuchenko, Kranjcar……but we had plenty enough to deal with Blackburn. The visitors were quite bright in the first half, without ever really testing...
