The last but one time we were fighting relegation, the Blackburn game was a turning point. We were awarded a goal that didn't cross the line and a penalty for a foul way outside the box.
Now we are looking for lightning to strike in the same place, 'cos that's the only way I can see West Ham winning at Blackburn. There's a new 'caretaker' manager (why does the caretaker always get the stand-in job? Why not the car-park attendant or the sous-chef?) who will be desperate to make an impression. The players will also need to impress a new boss. Whereas our players haven't won away for ever (form they are now taking to home games), with the same old manager who definitely needs to take care he's not out of a job after this game but who's shown no ability to get anything like necessary performances.
The only hope is a blizzard ....
