An extremely dull, unadventurious selection. We have to do something different against the better teams.

Is The Emirates a place to be adventurous? Are Aston Villa not 'one of the better teams'?

I'm not sure a lot of people even know what they're complaining about anymore, just doing it for the sake of it.

I think it's disgusting that we aren't playing a foward line of Di Santo, Kalinic, Roberts and McCarthy. Supported by Dunn, Diouf, Hoilett. Emerton and Nzonzi protecting the back one of Givet.

Wenger wouldn't have seen that coming.

Clearly, our injury problems have forced Sams hands to play an unusual back 4.

Today, Rovers are reliant on Andrews to nullify the threat of fabregas, Givet to knuckle van Persie and Emerton to do Rosicky !

Whatever today brings, it might be entertaining :wacko:

Would have prefferd Emo in the centre with Peds out left and Diouf right with Andrews on the bench, Brett at RW just doesn't offer too much.

This could get ugly, RVP to score first must be the easiest bet of all time.

I can't see us seeing out 10 mins at 0-0 :(

Seeing that line up... I'm not sure if it's extremely depressing or strangely positive. I would not have predicted that lineup in a million years, but maybe they can surprise us?

Salgado could only come on for Jacobsen, and Sam clearly prefers Jacobsen for that right back spot right now.

Hahaha I love how the commentator talks about Arsenal's bench of "internationals", and misses the fact that ours is full of internationals as well!

SS1 making a big deal about the physical factor, hence the cheesy "lets get physical" 80's song with a video showing some of our players.

I noted that too. Great eulogy to Sir Arsene and then, "the visitors today are Blackburn".

I'd love it if we did get physical for the first time in about 2 years. Just shows how much notice Sky pays to us - or that they are happy to perpetuate the myth in order to keep that gap alive. It'll be the Sky Sports European Super League before we know it!

Shocking defending by L'Arse's new 'superstar', but screw it. Get in.

I know we just scored but why did Van Persie not get a yeloow card for that foul on Dunn.

You could be sure that a yellow card would have been produced had it been the other way round.
