Some things are unforgivable in the eyes of football fans. Being photographed wearing a Manchester United shirt while you're still a West Ham player is one of them, and it's certain that there will be a cacophony of boos when Paul Ince returns to east London on Saturday.
However, it could be that the former Hammer has the last laugh, especially when you consider that Blackburn won 3-2 at Everton on the opening day of the season. Despite a last-minute winner, Rovers were full value for the three points, and 21/10 (Paddy Power) is therefore a price that's worth taking for this clash.
While West Ham may have beaten Wigan 2-1 a fortnight ago, they were very poor when losing to Man City and required extra-time to beat Macclesfield on Wednesday night in the Carling Cup. Manager Alan Curbishley appears to be under pressure and the 6/4 (Skybet) about the home team makes little to no appeal. That's unless you expect the home crowd to fire up their team against the enemy!
Where there's a Dean Ashton, there's also a way and the England striker notched two quickfire goals to give his team the win against the Latics. He's 6/1 (Skybet) to open the scoring on Saturday afternoon, as is Blackburn's Roque Santa Cruz (6/1 Stan James), although a better option might be Jason Roberts (8/1 bet365) who is in form for the Lancashire club.
Winless Wigan look a big price (2/1 Boylesports) to get off the mark at Hull this weekend. The Latics had a horrible ten minutes before dominating at West Ham, and they were unlucky not to get something from their 1-0 defeat against Chelsea. The Tigers have four points on the board already and are 6/4 (Stan James) to elevate themselves into the Champions League places! Amr Zaki looks like the best option for First Goalscorer and the Egyptian is 7/1 (bet direct).
