Stick to the Worcester although a few snidey droppings of aforementioned tobasco will not upset primary balance and leave a sneaky zing in ones mouth.

Its better when youve been drinking.

well we were robbed of points by poor decisions in that match.

the ref was pitiful , failed to give 3 penaltys , failed to send atleast 2 players off . he also gave blackburn total advantage , killing our dominance , in the last 20 minutes by giving everything blackburns way.

the linesman was the worst ive ever seen in my life.
the goal should have stood. he gave throw ins the wrong way , failed to flag blatant fouls , and was over ruled by the ref on basic decisions.

we battered them today and made them look like a bunch of wannabes.
our play deserved a 3-0 win , and defo a 1-0 win with johnsons goal.

good game , disgraceful officials . both should be sacked ,and thats not an knee jerk reaction.both the ref and linesman were tragically bad.

poor old johnson , and a lesser extent arteta ,were kicked all over that pitch and the ref failed to protect them to the point where tempers went over the top.

the main thing i will take from todays match is that blackburn are rated as a top side for the uefa cup place this season. well we may not have got the goals but play wise we were miles better than them today.we have a few players to come back into the team so imo we are definatly good enough to be knocking on the champions league door.

good game , unlucky us , come on you blues

spot on that mate!! what a load of shiite again. We were robbed. The goal should never of been flaged!! it WAS a pen on johnson an dunn should of been sent. But just another game for everton. Its always the same.

What a shame, we should have had 3 points today!!!!!!....:@
 

Missing Arteta for three games, without Pienaar playing, is bad enough.

Reading (H), City (A) & Portsmouth at home are three we could do with having him for. Lets be honest are any of you surprised we get [Poor language removed] all off refs anyway.

We're still the tits.
 
yeah... i was thinking ahead to games we need him for so we owe the ref a big one for letting a nailed on red card go.
 
Lads get onto this report. :lol:

ROVERS extended their unbeaten run to seven Premier League games following a goalless draw against fellow Euro-hunters Everton at Ewood Park.
In a fixture of few chances, the visitors were denied a late winner when Andy Johnson was flagged offside after Brad Friedel had raced out of his goal.
But whilst Rovers would have been pleased with the point, they will have been disappointed with a number of refereeing decisions, which saw both David Dunn and Morten Gamst Pedersen pick up their fifth cautions of the campaign.
Before the game, Mark Hughes made one change to the side that drew 1-1 away to Aston Villa last weekend, with man-of-the-match Zurab Khizanishvili replacing the suspended Chris Samba.
David Moyes meanwhile made two changes to the side that held Tottenham to a goalless draw in midweek, with Tim Cahill and Leon Osman both returning from injury in place of Victor Anichebe and Nuno Valente.
Rovers started well and almost opened the scoring with their first foray forward. With less than two minutes on the clock, David Bentley swung in a corner from the left and Roque Santa Cruz's glancing header rippled the side of the net.
With 10 men in midfield, there was little in the way of attacking action in the first quarter of the game.
Dunn picked up his fifth booking of the season for an attempted challenge on Mikel Arteta, before the Spaniard's solo effort was well saved by Friedel. From the resulting corner, Osman fired just wide.
As a cagey opening period drew to a close, Dunn was fortunate to stay on the pitch for a deliberate handball after some neat skill from Phil Neville.
Bentley then twice fired over from long range, whilst Phil Jagielka had a header cleared off the line on the stroke of half-time.
Less than 20 seconds after the interval, Bentley's low drive was parried round the post by Tim Howard and following a quick break straight up the other end, Arteta's cross fell kindly for the unmarked Manuel Fernandes, but Friedel saved well with his legs.
Dunn's afternoon was cut short for precautionary reasons when Benni McCarthy was introduced, but it was Everton who threw bodies forward.
Osman headed wide from inside the box and on 62 minutes, Steven Reid was guilty of a foul on Johnson, but Fernandes' free-kick bounced back off the foot of the post.
Tugay was next to arrive for the home side and the midfield maestro made an immediate impression. It was his pass to McCarthy that led to a majestic one-two with Santa Cruz, but under pressure from Jagielka, the South African striker's appeals for a penalty fell on deaf ears.
Bentley saw a top corner-bound free-kick brilliantly kept out by Howard, before Moyes' men thought they'd won it. Substitute James Vaughan won the race to the ball ahead of Friedel, his flick inside found Johnson, but after slotting the ball into the empty net, the England striker was denied by the linesman's flag.
Arteta and Pedersen were both booked for a set-two inside the Rovers half, before the home side had a 92nd-minute opportunity to snatch it. A lightening quick break saw Bentley centre for Santa Cruz, but the Paraguayan striker glanced his effort inches over the bar.
That's now three straight draws for Rovers as they prepare to head for the Emirates in a good vein of form, but with depleted numbers due to suspension.

Just got back from teh match now, and it was a good game, we played well, but hte linesman didnt have a clue what he was doing, the amount of times he gave a throw in the wrong way (to both teams), or didnt put his flag up for a foul (leaving the referee 20 yards away to decide) - he was abysmal.

Good game, i though neville nad lescott both played well, along with arteta, fernandes and johnson. Fernandes lost hte ball abit, but he did hit the post...

As dom said, it was lovely skill... as bal came over his right shoulder he caught it with his rigth foot and flipped it over/behind dunn to his left hand side... dunn blatently and purposefully knocked it out of the air or neville would have completely done (pardon) him. Arteta would have been proud.
