Well Arsenal have now taken a 2-1 lead through Arteta who scores his first ever goal for Arsenal.

No they are not as Blackburn have equalised through a own goal by Song.

I did say that arsenal were poor, but that blackburn were poorer. just a game of two poor sides, makes me feel at home, just like scottish football

denphone · 17-09-2011, 14:04

Well this is shocking defending by Arsenal as Yakubu puts blackburn 3-2 up.

But you said that Blackburn were easy meat.

They are, just that Arsenal don't seem hungry enough

Well this is diabolical by Arsenal as they go 4-2 down now to Blackburn who are bottom of the table

Arsenes a genius hands down for what hes been able to achieve but notice one thing... a disaster has to happen before he reacts so where does it leave the club? as a gooner i fear the club will have to be run into the ground before Wenger does something in regards to change. Coaching, coaches, tactics, personnel.

I understand Arsenal has players injuried but to rely on them throughout the reason is stupidity. I guess as an Arsenal fan I'll have to ride it out but it'll be interesting to see what happens to Wenger. Stan has already hinted at his expectation of quality being brought in rather than covering up the cracks. Wenger runs the show from top to bottom at Arsenal, I reckon its time that changed. When Dein was about Wenger use to listen to him. Ivan on the other hand.. I just don't see him having the same influence as Dein did. Nonetheless its going to be interesting to see what happens.

It's only taken us until mid-september but the Swans have finally scored (and won!) in the premiership

Great start to the season for us and a much better looking Newcastle United which makes a change for team that at one point had the worst defence in the league.

The Midfield is simply superb with Obertan showing a lot more of what he has to offer today and Cabaye is just pure class. Still waiting to see Jonas dropped in favour of the faster and better Marveaux or Ben Arfa. Get some real striking ability and there are good times ahead for a change.

And at least your manager is not likely to get the sack not like one or two managers who are feeling the heat already and yes a great win by Swansea who do play some nice football.

To be honest.. I feel Pardew can get the sack at anytime but it will have nothing to do with his Managerial skills but more to do with him being outspoken about the Finances being re-invested into the club and the way the board handled the dealings with possible incoming strikers.

He has already spoken out once with regards to last minute striker deals and himself being completely left in the dark with regards to the targets. He had his own striker targets but wasn't allowed to bid on any of them which was a bit annoying for both him and fans as he has said over the past few weeks. It's nice to see he isn't just a Yes man as once assumed.

This was sent to me by a mad keen Arsenal fan with a self deprecating sense of humour.

"There are two things you can see from space, the Great Wall of China and the gaps in the Arsenal defence".

Which is still better than Fulham and Sunderland as both are without a win

i thought that the Norwich player, that play acted, to get the Bolton player sent off was disgusting, tired of seeing players faking injury to get others sent off.

They should use video evidence, and ban these players for 5 years (ok, maybe a bit draconian..but they annoy me)
