Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko ngā kupu whakamutunga a Gary Bowyer ki ōna kaitākaro Blackburn he tino māmā i mua i tō rātou haerenga ki Anfield i te Rātapu: 'Kia waimarie koe.' E mohio ana te rangatira o Rovers ko nga taumahatanga mo te hauwhā o te FA Cup he nui te taumaha ki te painga o o raatau hoa whawhai, ana i mua i te taenga mai o Liverpool ki te rere o te ahua i kite ai ratou i te wikitoria i te iwa o a raatau whakataetae Premier League 11 whakamutunga. Ka mea a Bowyer, 'Ko Rawiri e whawhai ana ki a Kororia.' Kei te mōhio a Gary Bowyer kei te kino te tūponotanga ki a Blackburn i mua i tā rātou tukinga i te kapa FA ki a Liverpool. I patu a Jordan Rhodes i tana whutupaoro tekau ma toru o te pakanga ki te awhina i a Blackburn ki to raatau wikitoria tuatahi mai i te Oketopa. 'Kāore he tangata e tuku i tētahi whai wāhitanga ki waho o tō mātou rūma whakakakahu. 'Ki taku whakaaro ko rātou te kapa tino whakamiharo i te Pirimia Pirimia i tēnei wā, ā, ko te whutupaoro e tākaro ana rātau he mea whakamiharo. Ko te tikanga, he whakawhetai katoa ki te kaiwhakahaere mo te huarahi i huri ai ia i tana whakatakotoranga. 'Kua akona e mātou ngā ataata, kua puta mai he mahere kēmu, ā, kua mahi tahi mātou me ngā kaitākaro. Ka haere mātau ka kawe i te wero ki Liverpool. 'Kua tino whakahaerehia, kua tino whakatikatikahia i roto i nga hui o mua me nga kapa Pirimia Pirimia, ana ko te tikanga i te huarahi e hiahia ana koe ki te waimarie. Ka huri a Rhodes i te pōro ki te kaitiaki o te Rāapa o mua, ki a Jason Steele kia ārahi ai ngā manuhiri. 'Ko te āhua o te wairua he mea whakaongaonga, ā, he mea tika. Kua riro i ngā tama te tika ki te tākaro ki Anfield me ngā mahi i ngā rauna o mua.' I kii a Bowyer ka uru tana kapa ki te tukinga me te maia nui, a ka tino akiaki ratou i a raatau mahi i nga rauna e rua kua hipa. Kaore a Swansea, a Stoke ranei i pai ki a raatau haerenga ki Ewood Park, me Blackburn e whitu nga whaainga puta noa i te tuawha me te rima o nga rauna. Ahakoa he taahiraa nui a Anfield, he papa e mau ana i nga maharatanga tino motuhake mo nga Rovers. E rua tekau tau ki muri i te marama o Mei, i whakanui a Blackburn i te wā tino pai o tō rātau hītori i a rātau e hiki ana i te karauna Pirimia i te papa o Merseyside. E whakapono ana a Bowyer ka haere tana kapa ki te whakataetae ki runga i te maia i muri i te wikitoria...
E whakapono ana te kaiwhakahaere o Blackburn a Gary Bowyer ka taea e tana kapa te whakaeke i te whakataetae a te kapa FA i te rauna tuaono ki Liverpool. I eke a Rovers ki te tuaono i muri i te wikitoria 4-1 ki a Stoke City. E whakapono ana a Bowyer ko Liverpool te kapa 'tino whakamiharo' i te Pirimia Pirimia i tenei wa.
