Leicester were lucky.
DerLibpewlFubbubbub's players were protesting in solidarity with their supporters over the proposed ticket prices at Anfield.
Would you pay £77 to watch that?

He's got a decent first touch.

"Uncle" Jack Walker of course!
People forget that Derby and Wolves had similar sugar daddies trying to get promoted to the forthcoming Premier League, but their sugar daddies didn't employ Kenny Dalglish and Ray Harford as manager and assistant manager. To be honest, i think Jack Walker's money shook up the so called big boys. They saw a small town club "buy" the premiership and they thought we'll spend even more to buy success. So in a way Blackburn Rovers are responsible for the stupid money being spent these days.

That Vardy goal was the goal of any season. I was still drop-jawed at the pass, never mind what followed...but then what followed followed. Un-be-lie-vable.

Meh. I thought he fluffed his first touch when trying to square to Okazaki.

A very rich man appointed a good manager who bought well. My point is that it's not really a "small town club" story.
P.S my first visit to Ewood Park: http://www.11v11.com/matches/blackburn-rovers-v-west-ham-united-25-november-1989-123878/
It was quite a match - West Ham were 4-0 down at one point, if I recall correctly.

That was the first thing that went through my mind when I saw it on MOTD.

West Ham and Blackburn have some spectacular history. I was at Upton Park on Boxing day 1963 when we got thumped 2-8 by the Rovers. On the Saturday two days later when the fixtures were reversed it was 3-1 to West Ham. As I recall there were some strange results on the 26th with Fulham being involved in a game where the score was 10-4, I can't remember who against or whether they won or lost.

It was Fulham, against Ipswich, but it wasn't 10-4, it was 10-1.
You may be thinking of a few years earlier when Spurs beat, ahem, Everton 10-4 at WHL.
