    The Knee Jerk – The Wild Rover

    Filed under: The Knee Jerk - Posted by: Sir Paulos

    There was plenty logic behind the move to draft in Yakubu this week. Having been rested for the FA Cup defeat at Newcastle, the Nigerian looked primed to play a significant part in the gameweek as Blackburn went looking for a win that would take them off the bottom of the table.

    The Knee Jerk – Double-barrelled

    Filed under: The Knee Jerk - Posted by: Mark

    Knee Jerk- The Damned United

    Filed under: The Knee Jerk - Posted by: Sir Paulos

    They were odds-on favourites to hand out a hammering. With back-to-back 5-0 wins over the festive period, the smart money was on Man United to sweep Blackburn aside this lunchtime.
