My personal highlight for this weekend's Premier League fixtures will be attending Blackburn Rovers vs Tottenham Hotspur at Ewood Park for a crucial 6 pointer...I still consider Spurs to be in the relegation dog fight. Blackburn Rovers have had a long, hard season with managerial issues. Paul Ince was appointed as Rovers boss in August just before the start of the 2009-2010 season and wasn't given a budget - which was his main complaint when being sacked just before the winter transfer window. Then ex-Bolton boss Sam Allardyce arrived back to Lancashire when Blackburn Rovers were in the bottom three and has definitely steadied the ship but between Pedersen, Santa Cruz and the gang they are still not out of it. This will be my fifth time to this fixture, both teams play good football so it is always easy on the eye. Blackburn's corporate hospitality is excellent, good food and ex-player guest speakers make the day extra special. I've also been pre-warned that we might be approached by one of the corporate hospitality, inviting you on to the football pitch to have a photograph taken with one of the Blackburn Rovers players. Now, my good lady and I are about to have a baby boy - is it fair that I see this as his first chance to go on to a Football pitch...a Premier League one at that?!
Any way, my money will be on with my heart - 0-2 or 1-2 to the Tottenham.
