[Archived] Arsenal 6 Rovers 2

[Jordan]

I know mate, I have had tickets printed on the match day at an away ground as well. That's why I found it really surprising.

Apparently I could have had them done at Arsenal's end yesterday but today they aren't doing any more. I tried to argue but she was pretty adament.

I know, I don't understand either. Very disapointed.

It maybe worth another quick call to the ticket office tomorrow or alternativly try and get in touch with the Ewood Blues to see whether they have any spare tickets - I doubt it though.

Superstella may be able to help you with that one.

Cheers man

I might try calling again tomorrow, but I've already phoned twice...

Thanks for the advice. I'll PM Superstella.

Thankyou.

[Roar of the Rover]

An easy win for Arsenal, Rovers just don't seem to win games like these at the moment, they will play us off the park, easy 3-0, Cesc. Adebayour and Van Persie

[Jordan]

I hate these early starts.

If they call this game off due to the fog I will not be a happy Orvil.

SSN are reporting big problems for the arse at the back.

See you all in yhr Drayton.

[cn174]

Just about to set off for the game.

2-1 to Rovers

[Bobby G]

Im thinking we are definitely going 4-5-1 with Todd retaining his place in defence and a midfield of Emerton - Tugay - Savage - Pedersen - Bentley and Nonda up front on his own.

Do we have any other realistic possibilities?

[RoyRover]

We have a chance for sure, Arsenal have been far from convincing this season, especially at home. But knowing our luck, we'll be the team that Arsenal kick start their season against. A draw would do me fine.

[James No. 7]

2-1 to the Arsenal. You heard it here first.

Is it on foreign tele?

[Lathund]

Is it on foreign tele?

It's on Canal+ Mix in Scandinavia.

[northernrover]

what pubs will be showing it??

i need to get there now

[budha]

Friedel, Neill, Ooijer, Todd, Gray, Emerton, Tugay, Savage, Pedersen, Bentley, Nonda.

Subs: Brown, Mokoena, Henchoz, Derbyshire, Peter.

So, Nonda alone upfront.

[rover6]

So, Nonda alone upfront.

I think the idea is for Bentley to keep him company.

[todd_could_take_tyson]

I think your watching teletext again

[budha]

Pen for Rovers and Nonda 0-1

[wandel77]

yeessss

[1864roverite]

That early penalty score might just come back to haunt us. How I wish it had been the 90th minute

But, as it is I would take it now.

Come on Rovers

[bluewhitearmy]

get in shabani nonda yesss

[budha]

Arsenal will definitely come to us even stronger now, hopefully we can take it and perhaps hit another on break

[1864roverite]

i suppose another positive thing about this early Rovers goal is that we cant get beaten 3-0 like the other Arsenal wins this season

[budha]

1-1 Gilberto from corner, didnt take long

[1864roverite]

didnt last long eh?

[Ricky]

1-1

[tcj_jones]

Anyone know why the penalty was given?
