Ossydave Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Martin Keown, BBC SportArsenal 0-1 Blackburn "Blackburn just kept believing they could get something out of this game. The amount of pressure Arsenal were putting on them at the end was relentless. Grant Hanley and Scott Dann will not have played a better game this season, even in their entire careers. An outstanding performance from Blackburn today." Certainly was. Loved the way Appleton remained calm and undemonstrative throughout then went with the players over to the fans. I think thats the first person that's actually given us some credit so far, everyone else just seems to be rambling on about Wenger

Ianrally Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 If that happened,I'd have to default on the mortgage! Just think guys....we could have three, yes THREE Wembley appearances to look forward to this season. Stranger things have happened. If that happened,I'd have to default on the mortgage!
chaddyrovers Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 No comments from Shebby or BRAG yet ! Wonder what they are thinking now ? Good point. the Media has said Rovers deserve the win. John Cross from Daily Mirror said Rovers deserve the win and he is Arsenal fan.
PAFELL Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Think I have a problem with my sky box, sure i just heard, "Well done to Blackburn Rovers".
Hanks Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 YES!!! Put this in perspective, Arsenal have NEVER lost against lower league opposition in the FA Cup in their entire history...until today! Appleton you sir have made me feel pride in my club again, thank you. Not quite West Ham were a 2nd Division side when they beat them in the 1980 cup final
Backroom DE. Posted February 16, 2013 Backroom Posted February 16, 2013 Think I have a problem with my sky box, sure i just heard, "Well done to Blackburn Rovers". Yes, I never thought I'd hear Soccer Saturday end with those words!
imy9 Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Not quite West Ham were a 2nd Division side when they beat them in the 1980 cup final Think the stat was that they have never lost at home, assuming 1980 final was at Wembley?
tonyoz Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Not quite West Ham were a 2nd Division side when they beat them in the 1980 cup final Never lost at home I think.
otto man Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Exactly my feelings. It's like the magic of the FA cup brought us back to life for this game. 7-1 loss here last season, and now...unbelievable. Crazy. Amazing. Kean became a hero today in my eyes, one of the most confident and stable performances from a keeper since Brad's days. The defenders rallied around him too. Incredible, we must savor this for as long as we can... See! You can do it. Keep it up!
bob fleming Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 appy days Yep! Brilliant! To the 1400 - enjoy! Cheers!!
blueboy3333 Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Absolutely amazing result. So very happy. Appleton has turned a bunch of moaning,lazy, gutless, underachievers into a gritty and hardworking team of warriors. I blolody love 'Appy, a proper manager!!
Ewood Spark Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 YES!!! Put this in perspective, Arsenal have NEVER lost against lower league opposition in the FA Cup in their entire history...until today! Appleton you sir have made me feel pride in my club again, thank you. Not quite ... I remember a Mickey Thomas Wrexham beating them in the early 90's. Gutted I couldn't be there today, a fantastic result which I hope in some way pours balm over the open wounds that the club has been carrying for the last two years. Sitting here in the high Alps with a beer in hand ... life feels sweet tonight!
EWOODACE1 Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 great perfomance. havn't seen us battle like that for a long long time. i knew appleton had something about him. seems to have won everybody over especially the players. everybody did their part. this new midfielder looked a big improvment on what we have did anyone else notice rhodes arguing with all the rovers players on the way off at half time
philipl Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 I think we have bust two records today: - Wenger never beaten by lower division opposition - Arsenal never beaten at home by lower division opposition
Stuart Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Back the Badge - the improvements since Appleton was appointed. Added with todays result and performance by both manager and team. Is reason enough why Ewood park should be rocking next home match. Don't support venkys - though they appointed Appleton. But the manager and the team on the pitch. You just can't resist, can you. Can't you just let one go - we've just won FFS. No reason whatsoever for a pop at the Action Group.
Blue n White Rover Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 I think we have bust two records today: - Wenger never beaten by lower division opposition - IN THE FA CUP - Arsenal never beaten at home by lower division opposition Corrected for you. He lost against Bradford.

Stuart Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Wrexham were at home. To be fair to Ewood Spark, that wasn't mentioned in the post he quoted...
EPF Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Anyone else not feel we are in a snowballing momentum? Because I do. Onward and upwards
had.e.nuff Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Merson nearly in tears. Not sure what better the win or that. Yes he was so proud it was all down to the squad assembled by his best mate. NOT!
PAFELL Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 You just can't resist, can you. Can't you just let one go - we've just won FFS. No reason whatsoever for a pop at the Action Group. It wasn't a pop at the action group or anybody. just saying that current events is reason enough to back the badge. Also the right reason. the only one having a pop here, is you at me. But me, I am just chuffed that rovers won tonight.

Ah, so your reference to "back the badge" had nothing to do with the fact that the Action Group used that phrase. My mistake - complete coincidence obviously.
pick32 Posted February 16, 2013 Posted February 16, 2013 Lets just enjoy the win and forget about shebby and his little action group.
