[Archived] Blackburn Rovers 1 Arsenal 0

[ABBEY]

5-0 rovers!!!!

simple end of!!

[Billy Castell]

2-0 Arsenal with that sh_t player Reyes scoring both.

[jim mk2]

Fleet Street's love affair with Arsenal is back on again after last night's triumph in the Bernebeu.

And who do they play next but none other than those dirty monkeys from up nawf !

Rovers had best be well behaved this weekend or the press will have a field day, not to mention those nice Blackburn supporters on Match of the Day.

What better time then to show the nation what a good side we are.

3-1 to us, followed by much bleating from Wenger and his metropolitan cronies.

We are actually on a hiding to nothing. Win, loose or draw we'll come out smelling of doo-doo.

Just waiting for Wenger to make a pre match comment about our reputation and how the referee needs to be strong, and the scene will be set.

So just hope the result goes our way and don't read the Sunday papers

[roversmum]

Agree with you there, Azuri. If we win it will be because they are tired and for no other reason.........

Was it last year that Reyes got carted off on a stretcher, only to leap off of it fully rejuvenated as it reached the touchline?

Could do without all these random internationals that players are off for next week too, although pleased to hear Bentley's up for the U21s.

Awwwwww go on Philip..... tell us !!!

OK- my hunch was that there will be a British clean sweep against the three Spanish clubs but that Benfica will add Liverpool to the Mancs.

... and I am absolutely certain Rovers will win in a high scoring game on Saturday.

If it doesn't happen, it's your fault trueblue!

[joey_big_nose]

We could have done without the Arsenal win, but if we are realistic about getting into the top six we need to beat the best teams at home. I think this will be a draw, but at least we will be much fresher.

I still want to see Peter on the left to give Toure something to think about when he bombs forward. The way the Gunners play creates space behind the full backs and he is the best man to exploit it.

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Rovers are capable of beating the best on their day.....will Arsenal's visit to the Bernabeu see them a jaded side?

Even more important will we finallly see a responce from the Blackburn public and a decent gate??.........so many questions!!

Rovers 1 Arsenal 1

Well its not gonna be a sell out, i can tell you that much.

Just rang up to book 5 tickets but the woman on the phone wouldn't tell me how many we'd sold so far but there's plenty left. Only limited in BB end though, so thats promising

Come on Rovers

[Presty On Tour]

i think the response will be around 26k-28k gate for the arse!!

theres alot at steak , 5th place and a step nearer champions league

[roversWASmylife]

Everyone seems to think we'll lose now.

Just because Arsenal beat Madrid, doesn't mean they're going to beat us.

Anyone can beat anyone on their day. Madrid didn't kick them about like we will, don't give them time on the ball and they don't like it.

Rovers 2 - 0 Arsenal

To be fair, its pretty much always limited in bbe lower so that doesnt really tell us much. Arse wont bring that many, so a crowd of around 22k?

I am sure Rovers will be in their faces and not allow time and space like Madrid did, Dickov / Bellamy can be real thorns in the Arsenal defence. I think 2-2, Dickov / Bellamy, Terry Henry and Dirty Dennis for the team in raspberry.

Then after Arsenal there's just two more home games this season that start at the traditional 3.00pm on a Saturday (Boro and Chelsea).

(Can I just add that the 5.15 kick off time is the worst feckin K/O time possible.)

Thank you for that reply Al, I liked it and your choice of wine, next time you're down under, give me a yell, we'll tuck into some good food, washed down with good reds.

The sweet will be the Rovers doing the gooners 2-1 in a closely fought game.
