Four of the Desmond’s coming tomorrow. Big game!
Lock up your poultry the Venky All Stars are in town bringing with them some stars from days gone by. Hearing about our free agent approach, Anthony Mowbray pulls off a transfer coup by dredging up the whole Premiership winning Blackburn team of the 90s.
2-2 draw.
Blackburn 2-0 up after 36 seconds through Sutton and Shearer. Blackburn Control the game with 96% possession, Colin Hendry performing tricks at the command of the 4 away fans. Argyle bring on Mariner and Rafferty to pull us back with goals in the 97th and 99th minute, the ref ordering 15 minutes stoppage time as the players “look a bit tired”. Derek senses a winner but makes the error of bringing on former old boy, who played like an old boy to be fair even the first time around, Kenny Cooper, who couldn’t hit a barn door let alone score. The crowd showed their gratitude by buying him a one way ticket back to USA and presenting it to him on a silver platter.
Game ends 2-2 with the ref applauded off the pitch by every single fan for what is described by the Evening Herald and then quoted on the Goal Rush as a “simply stunning performance”. The ref was mysteriously named as a late replacement called Pilgrim Peter. Derek says players were a bit cold at the start, hence the double setback but warmed to the task when he switched the patio heaters on. He claims he took Darren Ferguson’s advice and shot the ref before the game, replacing him with Pilgrim Pete. Derek is fined £12.37 and ordered to be “a lot nicer in future like that great Scottish manager Steve Evans”.
