I like Blackburn Rovers. I don’t really know why, maybe it’s the fact they stopped Man Utd winning the league all those years ago. Maybe it’s because their shirts have always looked pretty smart or maybe I have a particular penchant for Thwaites Beer, who knows. By all logic, Blackburn should be bottom of the pile in terms of away trips but still… A trip to Ewood Park is always seemingly on a midweek night, it’s always freezing and the majority of time Sunderland get beat.
