Arsenal 0-0 Blackburn
Well, that was disappointing. It was a fairly exciting match to watch, it’s just the end result that was lacking. And, I have to say, I’m a little irritated by the amount of flopping going on near the Blackburn penalty area by the Gunners. Particularly, of all people, Thierry Henry. If someone throws you down, fine. But there were a few occasions where a play looked as if it might have been salvaged had some of the lads just gotten up and played, rather than lay about honing their theatrics. I really hate to be critical of my beloved Arsenal, but it pains me to see that going on. Particularly against a team we should have trounced from minute one. Otherwise, a great effort, no doubt. I really thought Adebayor & Rosicky coming on together would have added the punch we needed to get through that backline, but the Rovers held on. Now, we go to their turf.
