[Archived] Blackburn Rovers 1 Arsenal 0

[Rovers Air Force]

we really need to tighten up at the back!

[Maverick]

Great save by Friedel. Arsenal is putting the pressure on.

[Radagast]

Arsenal denied a decent penalty claim according to Sky. Edge of the seat time now.

[bariskaracasu]

[blue/white]

Are we are in pucker up time?

How much stoppage time?

[rovernik]

GET IN!!

[Maverick]

YES!!!!!!!!!

We are higher on the table then Arsenal. Who would have though that before the season started. Sparky is doing a great job with Rovers.

UEFA Cup next season?!!

[Eddie]

Fantastic

[Flopsy]

bad news is big club won - good news is pompey lost

[Radagast]

Yes! Brilliant stuff.

[Rover4ever]

Excellent stuff, however Arsenal had 3-4 decent chances in the 2nd half. Fabregas penalty chance was 50-50, could easily have been a penalty.

The Table makes for great reading now, Small town Rovers 5th in the EPL!

FANTASTIC.

The team played as one! From the back to the front. No one had a bad game. Todd was majestic. Nelsen was rocksolid. Friedel was focused. Savage was funny. Reid was strong. Tugay looked young. Bellamy was annoying with pace. Pedersen scored a goal.

Welcome back to the Premiership, Arsenal.

[James No. 7]

The Arse'... they don't like it up 'em!

Good one, Rovers! We were brilliant. Plenty of heart.

Bellamy has proven just how necessary he is to our European aspirations with his performance. He deserved man of the match over Todd, but Todd also played brilliantly.

[modes98]

never doubted it for a second!

Fantastic first half, not to bad second. 5th place!

Brad, Lucas, Todd, Micky, Tugs, Sav, Reidy, Bellers all had great games.

[Rover4ever]

You know what i really liked about this match?

That we beat Arsenal by playing Football, not by fouling and hacking them down.

In fact they had as many bad fouls as we did, wonder what Whinger will say now ?

Robbie Savage, step forward. What a player in these games, and the same goes for Reidy. Through and through a quality performance, my heart condition would have preferred introducing Mokoena earlier though!

Friedel 7 - solid!

Neill 7 - solid!

Todd 8 - rock solid!

Nelsen 8 - see above

Reid 7 - hard working, good passing

Tugay 8 - the maestro too old ? Hardly.

Savage 8 - fantastic machine in the centre!

MGP - can't complain, good run for the goal

Peter 6 - tried, sometimes too hard.

Bellamy 9 - pain in the a$$ for ninety minutes. Made Senderos look like a schoolboy.

Sinama 6 - always a threat with pace, but didn't do much.

Bentley did well when coming on, as did Mokoena to stabilize. Great pass by Bentley for Bellamy to race through also..

Blackburn Rovers: 9 - class act!

EDIT: Can a mod please get the result into the topicname?

[frosty]

Just got Back

5th!!!!!!

Star performers were Bellamy, Todd, Reid and Nelsen

[FourLaneBlue]

We've just beat the team that won away at the Bernabeau. Superb result. These are heady times for Rovers. We should fear no team at home...and that includes Chelsea.

If we can sort out the away form then we should be aiming for the top 4, not just a Uefa Cup spot.

Hughes as a contender for Premiership Manager of the Year?
