Blackburn Rovers vs Arsenal 17/09/11...12:45 K.O SS1

Always a tough game against Blackburn, they always get in our faces and we've often crumbled. Last season we showed we could stand up and fight and came away with a victory . Will we be victorious again or woud it just be another trip to Ewood park we'd like to forget?





Rovers subs: Bunn, Olsson, Grella, Petrovic, Vuckevic, Roberts & Hanley
Arsenal subs: Fabianski, Walcott, Djourou, Gibbs, Chamakh, Benayoun & Coquelin

6-0 Arsenal.

Can't see Arsenal losing to Blackburn, 2-0, maybe.

Blakburn are bottom

If you don't win

We're Arsenal if you've forgotten.

Relegation 6 pointer.

If Arsenal don't win this one then I really don't know how they're going to get into the top 4.

They're not a bad side, especially at home..

Saying that, our away form has been good the past year bar 1 obvious game, so hopefully we can do well, especially with Song and Gervinho back. Guessing:

I expect this team..

------------V.Persie
Gervinho--Arshavin--Walcott
----=---Arteta-----Song-------
Gibbs--Kos-----Merte---Sagna
----------Szczesny----------

2-1 Arsenal.

One can dream

Doubt Wenger's gonna play Arshavin in the middle

Can hope though.

I think Arsenal should win.

Maybe Benayoun in the middle, better workrate but not as direct.

Either way 2-1 to us.

How I would line up.


How we will probably line up.

We beat them 2 years ago with relatively the same side

And drew 0-0 with 10 men at the Emirates last season so stop writing us off

I fancy Gervinho to give them a lot of trouble.

If Walcott starts you lose.

Chamberlain should get his chance.

Ima hold you to that

Bet he scores now

Sagna will be able to contain.

Doubt it

You say Chamberlain should get his chance, but Walcott scored against United, Scored against Udinese twice, and assisted van Persie against Dortmund.

Against Swansea he was pretty dire, but apart from that he's done alright, nothing specially but hasn't done anything drastically wrong so I doubt Wenger will bench him until he has a string of games not doing anything at all.

He's shit though lap, he's more of a hinderance in our general play than anything else. I'm not getting into this again though.

With Walcott its like complete shit the hole game but scores or assists.. like Arshavin of the past.

Arsenal win, Walcott goal.

I recon he'll be better when Wilshere comes back and Arteta starts to become more involved. Atm, he gets the ball and all he can do is run down the wing and get stopped or put in a cross with nobody in the box.

When our best passers are back/get more involved, he'll get better service towards him so i'm hoping he'll get more chances which he should take. Atm, he's a bit useless but he can still produce so I doubt Wenger will bench him.

I do want to see Chamberlain come on for him though, but I doubt he'll even be on the bench.

Except Arshavin of the passed > Walcott even in his best form

Past*

True. At least Arshavin can play football where Walcott is a fucking useless cunt when he has to think.
