Offside third goal.

 

Clearly, but still great finish.

 

Amazing.

 

The closer we get to confirmed relegation, the worse and worse selling Ashley Williams for only ten million looks. This is just painful.

 

Great goal by Sunderland as well.

 

Fantastic goal by Borini, but damn he doesn't deserve that at all hes been absolutely horrid.

 

lol at the edge of the box running beyond all defenders and cynically taken out. No red. Class.

 

Has a club ever been relegated a season after winning the league title?

 

Manchester City.

 

Today's match was predictably shit. WBA tried to time waste literally 15 minutes in, but we got the win. Loved to see Giroud so passionate too, and it's no surprise with him back that Ozil got the assist.

 

Hull and Swansea are absolutely dead but I can't decide who else will go down. Palace & Leicester should have too much quality, and Sunderland seem to have more about them in recent weeks. Leaves me thinking one of Burnley or Middlesbrough.

 

I need Sunderland to finally go fucking down but unfortunately Hull and Swansea are so shit there's only one space left.

 

My fantasy squad had 82 points this week

Still in 14th place

 

If Blackburn are relegated to League One after this season, I'll have to find a second club to support (in the Premier League). I can't do this anymore... checking scores and watching (terrible) highlights. So sad what bad management can do to a club. I'll always be a supporter but it's tough when I can't see any games over here.

 

You could support Ipswich, 15 years of Championship mediocrity. I don't even bother watching highlights anymore, just check the score and see if we've managed to get a lucky draw or easy defeat. Club is going nowhere and doesn't seem to be aiming for higher than maybe making the play-offs.

 

This is where I'm at. I started following Blackburn around 2005 or so because they were the first Premier League team I ever watched. They had some promise at the time obviously but ever since the takeover disaster, they've been content with losing the last four or five years and it's annoying.

 

Apparently Bradley will be getting sacked before the new year. Shocking.

 

Didn't expect that signing.

 

What an assist!

 

And it happened. 11 matches.

 

11 matches late.

 

What are Swansea playing at?

 

they should never have sacked guidolin. yeah they were on a shit run, but at least they were somewhat competitive. since then they've been an utter mess.

shouldn't have sacked garry monk all things considered. that's what started this mess.

 

Didn't they pull the trigger on Laudrup fairly quickly as well?

 

yeah they were on a run of 6 losses out of 8 and out he went. that was later in the season tho I think
