    Rovers at the World Cup

    There isn't a single current Blackburn Rovers player at the 2026 World Cup. It wasn't always this way. In our latest episode we look back at Rovers' second spell in the Premier League (2001-12) and the players who took their Rovers form all the way to the 2002, 2006, and 2010 World Cups, notably Damien Duff, Brad Friedel, Tugay, Lucas Neill, Brett Emerton, Ryan Nelsen, and yes, Hakan Ünsal. We also look at players who played for Rovers before and after featuring in one of these World Cups. We talk about what this run of World Cup talent actually says about the club at the time, the level Rovers were competing at, and the value-investing recruitment model that landed players like Friedel and Nelsen for next to nothing. Plus, we pick our all-time Rovers World Cup XI from this era, and argue about how far that team would actually go at the 2026 tournament.

    Season review watch along: 2009/10

    The last “good” season at Blackburn Rovers? Maybe. Let’s see what the season review tells us. Notable shout outs to Nicola Kalinic looking like he’d been imprisoned in east Lancashire, Steve Kean lurking in the background waiting for his moment to seize the crown, and David Dunn oozing quality. This season review has a lot going on and we loved picking it apart.

    Season review watch along: 2008/09

    Exit Mark Hughes. Enter Paul Ince. A disaster. More interestingly for us, how are the production crew at Blackburn Rovers HQ going to spin this one? After three seasons of success, this is going to be tough. Never fear, the montage format still features heavily. And this time it’s Big Sam up in lights - and we’re here for it. Join us to watch along as Rovers’ fortunes go south.  Link to the season review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWH2-JBkRi8

    Season review watch along: 2007/08

    Blackburn Rovers are now an established European presence, and this season review is loving every minute of it. And so are we. Come along as we voyage to far flung destinations - Lithuania, Finland and Greece - all covered in granular detail! We also revel in the technical brilliance and incredible good looks of Roque Santa Cruz, thanks in no small part to a full-fledged montage only club TV can produce. Let’s go!

    Mowbray vs JDT: who was better?

    Tony Mowbray is back! In this special episode we decide to mark Mowbray's return to Blackburn Rovers with a debate on who was the better manager during their time at Rovers, Mowbray or his replacement, Jon Dahl Tomasson? We cover the situation each manager inherited, the impact they had on player development, and their respective highs and lows.

    Season review watch along: 2006/07

    Think Blackburn Rovers 2006/07 and images of Benni McCarthy, David Bentley and an FA Cup semi final no doubt spring to mind. The subject of today’s show - the official Rovers season review - paints a bigger picture. Red cards (lots of them), penalties conceded (lots of them), and the tantalising cameo of Shabani Nonda. Join us as we revisit all these highlights shown through the medium of Blackburn Rovers television.  Link to the season review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbBYZcZApDA

    Season review watch along: 2005/06

    We are back! In this new series we are rewatching Rovers season reviews from the 2005/06 up to the 2009/10 season. We go back over a period in the club’s history through a different lens, seeing what we remember, what we forgot, and most importantly, judge the production quality of Rovers season reviews. In our first episode we pick up at the start of the first full season under Mark Hughes. Just when you thought there was a limit to how much anyone could talk about Rovers over a certain time period… Link to the season review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwS_IlfwZuI

    Charlie Mulgrew

    Charlie Mulgrew endured a tough first season at Rovers with the club being relegated to League One. Rather than leaving, Mulgrew became a core part of the team that bounced back the following season and his leadership on and off the pitch was as instrumental as his goal contribution. In this episode we discuss Mulgrew’s contribution to Rovers during this period for the club and the influence he had on stabalising things after relegation.
