As they showed against Everton, their weakened side should not be overlooked. They only started two players who played the midweek Europa League 1st leg match that week.

It took a 94 min penalty from Everton to snatch victory.

Weakened teams have a tendency to play well. Pride and ambition can make a weakened side quite dangerous opposition.

It won't be plain sailing.

Fucking gutless and talentless bunch of tossers that should be ashamed to call themselves top class footballers!!!

That is the 13th - 13th!! - time we have taken a lead only to let it slip with pathetic displays like that. That is the worst record of any club in the premier.

Diaby was total shite; Nasri totally invisible (again); Vela and Walcott derisiory and Silvestre absolute pants!!!

As for Fabianski - as one of the few that have defended and felt sorry for him I just have to hold my hands up - the guy's not going to cut it at Arsenal.

If Wenger doesn't do the necessary during the summer, than he will have lost my faith and support. We're fucking Arsenal - not some mickey mouse club!! Either shape up or ship out!! :evil: :evil: :lol: :wink:

Is there really any point? Have we not already said it all over the last few years? Wenger is not going to do anything with this team. He will not spend any decent money this summer, he won't get a decent, star player and we will have another Spring like this again next year.

I have stood by him and the club for too long, I have tried to find excuses but the last few years have been an embarrasment for Arsenal, Wenger and most of the players.

Wenger will have another year and if it's like this again, then we need new ideas. I don't know how long we will be in the top few teams each year. Chavs and Manure will spend money and Man City will splash it about like water this summer. We will be an also-ran by Feb/ March unless the obvious areas are fixed and Wenger gets a rocket up his arse, telling him to win a decent trophy or find a new job, next May.

Its Up 4 Grabs Now wrote:Can only hope that’s the final nail in the coffin for a fair few of that lot today. If not, it’ll be the final nail in Wenger’s. Would call that display shocking, but it's barely even surprising to be honest.
Summed it up IU4 - It's expected more than shocking. Nothing there - I really hope someonechecks the players heartbeats because some of them could be dead and we wouldn;t know. :shock:

And depressingly, the blame in Wenger's mind won't be the general play or his players - it will be the referee and blackburn's approach.

I really think the rules are different in the EPL than in the rest of the world. The tactics Blackburn use every corner is just against the rules.
The first goal: the Blackburn players is holding Fabianski with his harm so he can not run properly. ALWAYS A FOUL. Look it up in the rule and instruction book.

Second goal: the same thing. The blackburn players just push their opponents so they can not play the ball. ALWAYS A FOUL.

The strange thing is the ref in the first half hour was giving those fouls like the rule book tell he should do. And suddenly he stops and let them do whatever they want.

For the rest, yes we played bad. We had 2 starting players from our best 11 left. No team can overcome this.

I can appreciate where you're coming from mate, but to be honest fabianski shouldve just barged through the whole fucking lot of them. So what if they're standing in his way? If he makes a movement towards the ball he'll likely get a free kick but he just stood there like a fucking lemon.

secondly, I know we only had a weakened XI, but it still shouldve been strong enough to beat those knuckledraggers, easily. Especially when we went one nil up. There's no excuse for the lack of effort and urgency today.
