I hate Monday night football :(




we will win though!!

:spicy:

I'm going to this one :jumpnana:

the atmosphere at evening games is much better

I hope RVP's back for this game, he loves playing against Blackburn :good:

9 days till this, booooo

I like the games coming thick and thin when we're in this sort of form. Don't like Sultana's coverage either.

I don't like playing when our rivals have all got points in the bag, always adds a extra pressure, but we should have enough quality to see Blackeye off.

What are the chances of RVP being fit?

He has 9 days to get fit.

Slim.

Hope he makes it, he's the lucky charm against Blackeye.

good question.

I mean, he injured himself coming back before he was fully ready, if I understand right. With Eduardo and Ade, we're doing fine. I'd rather we err on the side of caution with Robin.

Fabregas to grab a hat-trick.

Arsenal 4-1 Blackburn

However the atmosphere against Blackburn is never good.






I would be going, but I'm not.

The atmosphere sounded pretty good when we beat them 6-2 last season. :whistle:

RVP could be on the bench I think.

Doubt if RVP will play or even be on the bench, he maybe ready for the cup match/ milan
Blackburn have 4 players suspended for this match
1-0

Hes back in training before the Man City game so surely he should be fit enough for this game barring another typical injury

he returned late last week but wenger said it would be 2-3 weeks more to regain sarpness, they are waiting the necessary time after rushing him back last time.

rosicky should be fit though

Blackburn have dunn, pedersen and samba out

i think itll be the same team with Rosicky on the bench for traore

Just read Blackeye are missing MGP, Dunn and Samba, while Nelson, Ooijer and Reid are doubts. :woohoo:

I'm actually glad its on Setanta as I have an excuse to go to the pub as I only have Sky :dance:

cue Bentley hattrick

cue ade quadruple :nanacheers:

cue nil nil snore draw <_<

I have a feeling this will be a pivotal weekend in the Premiership. We should beat Blackburn, but if Man City get a result at Old Trafford, and Liverpool get a result against Chelsea, it will be a massive boost with 12 games to go.

Any news on RVP? We should find out more in the pre-match conference. If he can play a part, we can look forward to a bit of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_YYFmuFdSI&feature=related :D

Goatface predicts:

:rolleyes:

ffs..

everything is 2nil with him..

Well he did very well to predict this: http://z13.invisionfree.com/goonersweb/ind...opic=29216&st=0

Law of averages says he'll get this one wrong though. <_<

I love how in that first clip savage tries to synically trip RVP, except he even manages to balls that up.

Cant wait for RVP's return (whenever that might be). When fit, he is such a huge asset to the team as he guarentees goals.

Wenger says we are down to our bare bones with players injured

:banghead:

11 players out or doubtful

it will probably be this with what we defitnitly have available

Lehmann
Sagna/Hoyte===Sagna/Hoyte===Gallas===Clichy
Walcott====Gilberto====Fabregas====Hleb
Adebayor====Edaurdo

I would rather see Sagna at CB than justin tbh but we will see

:blink: 11?!

:( who ?

Emmanuel Eboue, Alex Song (both international duty)
Johan Djourou (groin)
Philippe Senderos (knee)
Robin van Persie (thigh)
Abou Diaby (calf)
Mathieu Flamini (hamstring)
Manuel Almunia (sick)
Denilson (hamstring)
Tomas Rosicky (hamstring)
Toure

:good:
So thats 5 first team starters, thats if you can call RvP a first team starter anymore.

Dont think we can.

Defensively we wont be at our best so Wenger hopefully goes the attack is the best way to defend route and we outscore Blackburn and with the like of Ade, Eduardo, Theo and Cesc still available, i think we can

i think nordveit will be bumped up next year to the CC squads. don't think djourou has any future with us. look forward to seeing him play, the hassle to sign him better be worth it.

We should definately be able to score against them, with Ade on fire and them with a couple of their "better" players out. Plus upfront they've been having trouble sticking the goals away.

Expect Roberts to bang a couple in then ;)

I'm going :dance:

Roberts vs Senderos...ugh, awful memories from the 2006 CC semi final.

Phil will have him this time though, gotta watch out for Bentley's crossing.

we MUST take advantage

Almunia

Sagna Hoyte Gallas Clichy

Hleb Cesc Flamini Rosicky

Ade Eduardo

Senderous definately out then?


Tbh I'd prefer Djourou (if fit) than a Hoyte - Gallas CB partnership after the CC.....

One game does not make a player bad.

Hoyte wasnt at fault for any of Spuds goal anyway.

Anyway back to this game, no doubt Ferguson has called up his cronie Hughes to make sure he gets his team all revved up to be physical with us.
