Hey, Blackburn fan here and I have never posted on another teams forum before but today I feel I have to say something.
I respect Everton massively, I think they are a great side that represent true English football and command respect from any team. They did absoloutely brilliantly to break into the top 4 in 2005 and were so unlucky not to make proper CL football and I really felt for you when Liverpool ended up going through, I would have been devistated and I'm sure all of you were. You are a solid team throughout and are a top side defensively, and now with the additions of Johnson, Yakubu and Fernandes and the likes of Cahill and McFadden, you are a big threat in attack too. I feel that all the talk of Spurs making the top 4 is rubbish, but Everton are a good shout for making that top 4 again, unless we can stop you! You have a really genuine, respected manager in Moyes and his ambition and shrudeness in the transfer market and his tactical wit have brought you forward massively. Rather like Mark Hughes has done with us.
For all these reasons, today's game will be a big one, I feel that Rovers' biggest rivals in terms of who they are as good as, are Everton and if we could finnish above you, it would have been a great season for us.
I hope today that both teams put on a great performance but, I ofcourse hope Rovers take all 3 points - a point wouldn't be bad though!
Thanks for your time and no Red's or injuries today!
Steve
