Apologies if this has been posted somewhere already, but I'd love to hear the Gooners belting out this little number tonight (taken from the BBC Sport site) -

"Let's talk about Cesc baby, lets talk about Flam-in-i, let's talk about Theo Walcott, Freddie Ljungberg and Henry, let's talk about Cesc."

Arsenal fans, To the tune of Salt and Pepa's "Let' Talk About Sex." (Nathan Upton, England).

Why can't we come up with stuff like that?

because we have to clap all the time clap clap clap

[RevidgeBlue]

Most important game for quite some time. (Since last Thursday anyway)

A win will hopefully set us up for an FA Cup semi final and should give us the confidence and momentum to make a decent fist of trying to get in the Uefa Cup via League position over the last ten games.

COME ON YOU BLUES.

1-0 Rovers.

[Drunx2002]

What's going on?! There is FAR too much optimism on this site for my liking. Let's have some doom and gloom, then at least we won't be disappointed when we do get spanked.

Rovers 1-3 Arsenal

MGP 12 Baptista 32, 44

Gilberto 68

[adopted scouser]

Fabregas isn't fit to carry the boots of this man. Enjoy.

We made this song up, in our pi$$ed state in Cologne : -

To the tune of 'Ruby' by Kaiser Chiefs

Hughesy Hughesy Hughesy!!!!!!

He's from a country from Wales

Where the women have tails

He's good at bicycle kicks

He thinks Cotterill's a d**k

Hughesy Hughesy Hughesy!!!!!!

He's got lovely grey hair

And he roars like a bear

We're all in Cologne

And we're not going home

Hughesy Hughesy Hughesy!!!!!!

[gazsimm]

why are arsenal resting Fabragas if they are short off players, it seems silly to me

Speaking of drunken Cologne songs..... Altogether now!!!

Aaron Mokoena's got 7 legs!!

and he's got an extra head

one of his legs has got an eye on it

and he's grown another tit

He's mutating as we speak

an now he's grown another beak

Aaron Mokoena's got 7 beaks!!!

All sung tunefully to "ring of fire"

That video reminds me, I techically hate Hughes. That goal against Oldham in the FA Cup Semi-Final broke my heart as a kid (I've a soft spot for the Latics).

I was at Wembley for that (back then, my best mate was a Latics fan).

How the hell does that fit the tune of Ring of Fire?

IMO: I think Wenger would play his greenest trainee than throw Fabregas into the Ewood Pk

pitch after Cesc' stupid commentary a few weeks back. Wenger clearly fears some Rovers'

retribution.

Lucky to hit 20k tonight i think.

Would anyone be too disappointed to see us kicking the sh.. lumps out of Fabregas (or any other Arse) tonight?

Bring on the Toddy!

[Finch]

You're all sounding just a bit too optimistic for me.

We haven't got a snowball in hell's chance at this one.

Wenger has learned his lessons and will come out all 'guns' blazing.

There is no way he will suffer the humiliation of defeat against 'lowly' Blackburn.

2-0 Gooners

although that was my guess last time and look what happened!

Edit: or . . . *dons blue and white tinted specs* Arsenal lose to a single goal scored by ex gunner and current Rovers hot shot David Bentley. Following this result Wenger realises that the sale of Bentley was the worst piece of business he ever did and ruefully resigns as Arsenal manager. Meanwhile Bentley get a call up to the England squad :ph34r:

[3rdpillar]

The weather here is horrid. nasty rain wind cold squally heavy showers..

will have a big effect on the game

[rover_groo]

Rovers 3-2 Arsenal.

Bentley,

Nelsen,

Nonda.

I think Hughes' will go for a partnership of Nonda & McCarthy upfront.

Nelsen to slot into centre-half with Samba.

Otherwise unchanged side.

[Oakland]

My Team tonight:

-----------Nonda-----Benni

--MGP-----Tugay----Mokoena------Bentley

--Warnock--Nelsen--Samba--Emerton

-------------------Freidel

Subs: Enks, Zurab, Dunn, Derbs, Roberts

2-1!

[krislu]

We should stick to 4-5-1, hope we can frustrate them enough and get lucky ourself on a corner or free kick.

But I think we will line up quite attacking, it will give Arsenal the space they need.

Rovers 1

Arse 3

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Never thought I'd say this but I think the Axe needs to start. He is poor, yes, but we need someone to close people down and foul people if need be before they go blitzing into the box. Tugay and Dunn can't do it too well, so I think it's upto Henchman Aaron.

I hope we go 4-5-1 with tugs dunny and axe in midfield, but I can see us doing a 4-4-2 and giving them too much room in midfield

2-1 Arsenal, lets hope I'm wrong

[spencey7]

Agreed on all counts regarding Mokoena. I reckons Hughes will go with:

Friedel

--

Warnock

Nelsen

Khizanishvili

Emerton

--

Pedersen

Tugay

Mokoena

Bentley

--

McCarthy

Nonda

Assuming that Samba is sidelined with his injury. It's a strong side, and they'll be up for it, I reckon we'll take this to penalties tonight.

(provided we don't concede 3 in the first six minutes...)
