Etuhu insists it is wins that matter for Rovers
8:00am Saturday 25th August 2012 in Sport
By Chris Flanagan, Sports reporter
DICKSON Etuhu has insisted that he is concerned only about results rather than stylish performances as he targets promotion with Blackburn Rovers this season.
Rovers host Leicester City this afternoon after securing four points from their opening two matches, despite not being at their best in either game.
Steve Kean’s side received some criticism for their performance during Wednesday’s narrow 1-0 home win over Hull but Etuhu believes Rovers should not be too concerned about calls for more attractive football, providing they keep collecting the points.
“I’m not really bothered about that, for me it’s just about winning the games no matter what it takes,” said the midfielder, who recently moved to Ewood from Fulham.
“I’m not really bothered what people think, it’s what we speak about in the changing room and what we do on a Saturday that matters.
“I’ve played in this league before and I always say it’s the hardest league in the world.
“It’s so unpredictable, you couldn’t bet on who is going to win the league today.
“Games come every two or three days so you have to be mentally strong, you have to have a big squad with strength in depth and you have to have quality as well.
“You have to be hungry, you have to want to do it, you have to want to win, you have to want to push yourselves across that line.
“That’s what I believe it takes.
“It’s about not losing, it’s about nicking a point and nicking three points here and there.
“People say we should be one of the favourites and all of that, and yes we are, we know that.
“But we just have to concentrate on each game, that’s the most important thing.
“After getting a point away from home, beating Hull made it even more of a good point.
“We made that point count.”
Etuhu has linked up again with Danny Murphy in central midfield after both made the move from Fulham this summer.
Former Liverpool man Murphy is one of five players with Champions League experience in the Rovers squad, together with Nuno Gomes, Gael Givet, Colin Kazim-Richards and Paul Robinson.
“When you talk about Champions League experience, of course it’s great to have experience and we know we have that,” Etuhu said.
“But it’s a different type of football, it’s totally different.
“I think we have got the experience for this though, and we just have to keep plugging along and I think we’ll be fine.
“It’s great for me to play with Danny, I play with him comfortably because I’ve played so many games with him. For me it’s more us gelling with the team. We know what we both can do and how to work with each other, that’s without thinking.
“You can see that it’s coming slowly. On Wednesday sometimes we weren’t really understanding each other but we are clicking slowly and it’s nice to see that happening.
“I came here to get promoted and to get a different feeling.
“I could have easily stayed in the Premier League and finished mid-table and played 30 games for Fulham, but I wanted something different.
“I had two years left on my contract at Fulham but this is exciting for me and I’m glad I made the decision to come here.”

Benjidee_123LittleHaSpoken like a true spartan. Are you one of the 8000 too? There'll be no premier league glory hunters in my house. Thick and thin, this is the thin and Keanochio is he thick but we have to be the teams twelfth man not a bunch of away supporters. Whats the point of buying a ticket and just sitting there with the occasional kean out. We know we want him out, everyone does and its getting boring now. Get behind the team or go shopping and only return when the premier league has returned.

People will behave differently, that's what makes us unique. Let people do what they feel is right. Besides I doubt anyone there is booing the individuals of the team (if they are then shame on them), just booing the **** that is pretending to be a manager!

Benjidee_123LittleHaDon't talk like a Cnut. I have not renewed. I've been supporting Rovers probably twice as long as you have. From the old first division to the third division and back again.

I won't go back until I see the club being run PROPERLY and the supporters treated with RESPECT. That's why I'm not going. Not because I don't support them through thick and thin because I have done for years and I won't have a plonker like you telling me I'm NOT A TRUE FAN AND NEVER HAVE BEEN.
Now FKuc off and get back off your soap box.

Stop arguing between each other about who is the better fans... You all sound like idiots. Stay away fans... Season ticket holders. Everyone wants the best for the club whichever way they look at it. I don't blame people for staying away... I very nearly did myself. But I don't want to give up my Saturday afternoon footy because of Steve kean. That would make me detest the cretin more than I do now. I'm going and supporting the players... And hopefully rovers can be successful again. Come on lads and lasses we are one. Regardless of our Saturday afternoon plans we all want rovers back in the premier league!

I like Ethu's comments, sounds like he has the right fighting spirit needed for the long road ahead. I hope that we pick-up another 3 points today and then get a couple of players in during the week ahead and show the chumpionship that despite our well recorded troubles that Rovers are getting out of this division at the first attempt.
2-1 to the Rovers. 16k plus on Ewood.

Kean doesn't care what the fans think, neither does Etuhu and they don't care what you think. Whether you go down every week or not is irrelevant to them.
They are irrelevant to me, Kean and the whole sorry bunch are just custodians. they look after the building.
For me its not about winning everything, this is my team, my colours and where I belong. Its in my blood

You say "It's in your blood" Well I'm sorry but if someone treats me with utter disrespect and kicks me in the b8lls as often as this lot have done, I won't blindly continue to follow them. I will get up and give them a good kick in the B*lls also, and that's what I'm doing until they've gone. And don't go on about supporting the team : this is their team not ours.

In fact in 1000 years time there will be a movie about being one of the 8000. Even Dunny has grown his greek god like Samson beard. They will have us all penned in, thinking we are broken and defeated and asking us, " which one of you is RUinsane ",and slowly, one by one they stand up and say. It is I, I am insane. No it is I, I am insane. But it is I, I am insane. Until they all stand as one, one of the 8000.

Of course, the fact is the stands aren't made of wood and the players don't train on Pleasi. The new owners were fortunate enough to inherit a business where these were long in the past.
The previous anonymous owners/administrator
s had not so openly and obviously f@cked over the club and its fans. Personally, I don't feel I "belong" to what our club has become.
Basic animal instincts also dictate we should rid ourselves of any threat to our family (well. kill them actually but you get my drift). If some members of that family believe staying away will help achieve that, so be it
Belonging to a family does not mean everyone living in the same house.
Principles are principles are principles whether they relate to the survival of the dolphin or a football club.

I ache like a b'stard acting on these principles in regards the distinction of how we support our club ?
Your absolutely spot on when you say 'when football was just that' - what I would give to have just a smidgen of that feeling again at this point.
I will climb down from my stance once I see and feel a shift in circumstances that befit the nature of our club - money or no money !
The odious one as nowhere else to go now but, the winning gate come May, and should that materialize I will be the happiest 'Spartan' you would ever wish to see.
The galvanizing of our club is paramount, and I'm sure should things begin to shift in the right direction then compromise will be reached for many in returning to Ewood ?
What as to be visual for these people is that folk's are disenchanted with how things have turned out, and they need to do better in enticing us back when we can all sing from the same hymn sheet something that creates success right the way through the club.
No one can be accused of lacking in how they feel on this matter whether that be the owners, odious one or the fans.
Our club will survive and come out of this stronger(IMO) for is it not that 10,000 or so will return when all matters have been resolved.
In the mean time roar the boy's on from the inner sanctums of Ewood, and we will carry forth the demands that befit our 137 year old club.
Solidarity is all we have in our adversity, thus in reply to your 'How can you ask me not to belong to my family' I ask you how can I not too ?
I will be back no matter how long it takes for these bridges to be built, and they must be remember that thousands of good folk are their to be encouraged in returning for the full support BRFC deserves.

So, as it has achieved nothing but hunger pains. Get down there and have your fill. No point going on hunger strike when they have blatantly said they would watch you die. Have your fill. Fcukem. they are not the club, we are the club. All they have is a piece of paper dated 2010 on it. This team goes back in my family to 1875. I own it, Ive earnt it. What they have is just paper, just words. I have it all. These are our colours, they belong to us. So get down to Ewood and tell em. We will be waiting, we need reinforcements.

How can you ask me not to belong to my family. Even on principle I'm sorry it doesn't work.
Saying that though, its raining that bad the spartan army is going to need armbands.
Get down ewood and remember what it was like when football was just that.
Come with us and leave Jeff stelling for the prawn sandwhich brigade. Half of being a fan is being a miserable bstard when they get beat. Its what we are. Its how we are made.
The good fight must come from all quarters.
I ache like a b'stard acting on these principles in regards the distinction of how we support our club ?
Your absolutely spot on when you say 'when football was just that' - what I would give to have just a smidgen of that feeling again at this point.
I will climb down from my stance once I see and feel a shift in circumstances that befit the nature of our club - money or no money !
The odious one as nowhere else to go now but, the winning gate come May, and should that materialize I will be the happiest 'Spartan' you would ever wish to see.
The galvanizing of our club is paramount, and I'm sure should things begin to shift in the right direction then compromise will be reached for many in returning to Ewood ?
What as to be visual for these people is that folk's are disenchanted with how things have turned out, and they need to do better in enticing us back when we can all sing from the same hymn sheet something that creates success right the way through the club.
No one can be accused of lacking in how they feel on this matter whether that be the owners, odious one or the fans.
Our club will survive and come out of this stronger(IMO) for is it not that 10,000 or so will return when all matters have been resolved.
In the mean time roar the boy's on from the inner sanctums of Ewood, and we will carry forth the demands that befit our 137 year old club.
Solidarity is all we have in our adversity, thus in reply to your 'How can you ask me not to belong to my family' I ask you how can I not too ?
I will be back no matter how long it takes for these bridges to be built, and they must be remember that thousands of good folk are their to be encouraged in returning for the full support BRFC deserves.
Just a thought pal ?
Arte et labore
So, as it has achieved nothing but hunger pains. Get down there and have your fill. No point going on hunger strike when they have blatantly said they would watch you die. Have your fill. Fcukem. they are not the club, we are the club. All they have is a piece of paper dated 2010 on it. This team goes back in my family to 1875. I own it, Ive earnt it. What they have is just paper, just words. I have it all. These are our colours, they belong to us. So get down to Ewood and tell em. We will be waiting, we need reinforcements.
Thousands of years support combined we have supported the Blackburn Rovers through all times. That will continue(IMO).......
.............
Attendance today ?
I hope it is a big crowd full of positive support for the B&W shirt, the badge, the players, and our beloved club.
It is well worthy of that.
Enjoy your day mate and roar us on to 3 points..............

Thats what you don't get, this football club will survive, principles or not. You or not. I will be there, I am one of the 8000. I am standing my ground, for club, for colours for my ancestors. I am a spartan. If you want to hide behind the curtains thinking it will just go away then thats your choice. I will battle on your behalf for you. And when you feel the need to jump back on the winning side, that will be mine. So seeya in a couple of months. Tip for you, you get 5p off every litre of petrol when you spend over £30 at Tescos. Happy shopping on Bank Holiday weekend.
Oh, it's £50 by the way.

The boycotting really has driven the venkys out eh? Just because I love my Saturday afternoons watching rovers and the whole day out does not mean I am pro kean and venkys. If you want to stay away in the hope that your 225 pound loss will make them sell up then good luck. No need to attack the 8000 who want to go support the players and hope for promotion regardless of who is running the show. Rovers is my life and for my life I will continue to support them by attending games and getting behind the players. It's a choice. And I for one won't let kean or venkys make me choose to stay away. You stay away fans seem so angry... Get to a game and let off some steam :)
However the players on the pitch are seriously disadvantaged as opposing fans and managers make capital of our feeble support.
If you don't want to go or you can't afford to go that is fine but don't hide behind this boycott nonsense.

I will not. True fans have the sense to realise that the clubs best interests are best served by NOT renewing or going down to Ewood whilst the current management team are in place. I have been following the Rovers for over fifty years so it hurts me not to watch them at the moment, but sometimes you have to take the difficult course to improve things in the longer term.

Stop arguing between each other about who is the better fans... You all sound like idiots. Stay away fans... Season ticket holders. Everyone wants the best for the club whichever way they look at it. I don't blame people for staying away... I very nearly did myself. But I don't want to give up my Saturday afternoon footy because of Steve kean. That would make me detest the cretin more than I do now. I'm going and supporting the players... And hopefully rovers can be successful again. Come on lads and lasses we are one. Regardless of our Saturday afternoon plans we all want rovers back in the premier league!

I won't go back until I see the club being run PROPERLY and the supporters treated with RESPECT. That's why I'm not going. Not because I don't support them through thick and thin because I have done for years and I won't have a plonker like you telling me I'm NOT A TRUE FAN AND NEVER HAVE BEEN.

It's so painful sitting here typing this, when I would normally be making my way down to the ground by now, as I have done since 76; but I simply cannot support a continuation of the Kean regime after his leading role in the systematic dismantling of our once well run, established Premiership club. As soon as he goes, I like thousands of others will be back. Whatever league we are in.

Key words "It's a choice" The £225 is irrelevant, to me it's a matter of principle.
Look Harwoodstblue, the army needs fighters, we need you, not kean and Venkys, we, the rovers army, need help, we are doing the best we can and we want you to come and help. Okay don't buy the full 225 outlay. Just get down and buy a single game at a time. Join the army, remember when you were a kid and you went down and roared on the blue and white halves. Did you honestly give a flying monkeys who owned the building. No you didn't. When we had no money and they trained on pleasi. When the stands were made of wood This is about basics now, basic animal instincts. This is my team, my army and we belong to eachother. Its about belonging. How can you ask me not to belong to my family. Even on principle I'm sorry it doesn't work.
Saying that though, its raining that bad the spartan army is going to need armbands.
Get down ewood and remember what it was like when football was just that.
Come with us and leave Jeff stelling for the prawn sandwhich brigade. Half of being a fan is being a miserable bstard when they get beat. Its what we are. Its how we are made.
