Today's beautiful win will provide another boost to the team heading into Sunday's 1:30pm game.

Discuss away

 

[Nela]

Isn't it on Sunday?

 

[Lord Dula]

i'd love to see arshavin start further up top - he is deadly and can pick out others in and around the box.

 

[Lord Dula]

Isn't it on Sunday?

yes

and lol at you thinking "women!"

 

[OohtobeaGoonerGal]

Ah yes, my mistake, I'll fix that right away ops:

The front 3 that played tonight suits him fine no matter where he starts because without Bendtner its alot less rigid. Shava, Robin and Rosicky are all very good at switching in and out of each others positions which allowed Shava get into those more advanced positions alot tonight.

 

[Del Boy]

Always fun to hammer a Fat Sam team. Although they did beat Villa last weekend, if we play like we did tonight we should win this one.

 

[Lord Dula]

true - bendy does slow things up a lot. mainly cos he doesnt have the speed of thought and agility to excel in the role Arsène is asking him to play

best used as a blunt instrument he is

 

[progman07]

I didn't see the game, but I believe the deeper and more centrally Arshavin plays, the better. He has to see as much of the ball as possible, and he can make runs into the box anyways.

Despite beating Villa Blackburn have been poor this season, no excuses this week.

 

[otfgoon]

Yep, should win this without much trouble.

 

[Swish]

Yep, should win this without much trouble.

I remember the same being said about Fulham (admittedly, it was me who was said it...)

Well you never know I guess, though I didn't think Fulham would be easy, they've always been well organised at home.

Blackburn at the Emirates really should be a comfortable win unless the players don't turn up.

 

[qs]

Fulham are better than Blackburn and it was away.

 

[McIntyre]

We're playing a Sam Allardyce side so our boys better be ready for a rough ride.

But if our boys get in the mood to bite back, and if Diaby happens to make one of his occassional bone breaking tackles, I hope it's all directed at that c*nt El-Hadji Diouf!

The guy is a w*nker of the highest order! So after we've done our job of securing the three points, if we could make sure that tw*t gets a hard time, that'll make my day!

 

[qs]

Get that ref from the Wigan match and we'll be fine.

 

[sabret00the]

Convince Fabregas not to shoot and start Ramsey over Diaby and we should be fine.

 

[AnthonyG]

Yep, should win this without much trouble.

Well played.

But, yeah, another game in an important stretch where it is imperative we rack up the points. Rovers have been poor away (losses to Sunderland and Everton), while we've been good at home.

Pending any late developments, Wenger has quite a task to settle on a starting XI.

Don't care by how much, just enough will do.

 

[qs]

Convince Fabregas not to shoot and start Ramsey over Diaby and we should be fine.

If Ramsey started this over Diaby I'd be overjoyed.

 

[USArsenal]

RvP likes scoring against Blackburn too..
