gd too see our young guns get a result at ewood park v there first string, well played lads, bring on the spuds, and bring em on for the next round aswell
We did it. Blackburn tried to kick us off the park as usual and this was a A victotory for football n my opinion.Nobody really stood out in the team today, apart from Eduardo with his 2 well taken goals of course, but it was a good team performance in my opinion.
Song did some good stuff on the ball which was good to see but his positionnal play was as irrational as ever. Senderos still too slow for England as well I'm afarid.
Always nice to play Spurs without any pressure on us at all as if we lose...so what? they've won against our kids but if we win we can laugh at them more than usual. Bring them on in the next round again I say!

Thought our young guns were simply awesome tonite and altho even I'm startin to run out of patience with Senderos cos he is still an absolute 'mare, Song is improving with every game and is starting to look very promising - that was a fucking fantastic win and I am bustin with pride
Well done to our lads. Brilliant result last night. There are not a lot of first teams that will get a win at Ewood Park this season so it really was an amazing achievement.
Great result, a little humiliating for Blackburn that they lose to a second string side containing Randall despite being handed a goal by Pollock (if your a ref, change your name from Pollock.) and Arsenal rightly having a man sent off. Admittedly our squad of 16 cost about 3 million more then theirs did but given six of those were under 18's, it is still bad
We looked suspect whenever the ball was in the air and playing a high line in second half provoked a few scares but a great result, would have been great for our senior team let alone this second string. No strength in depth? We have the best fourth choice winger the word has ever seen!
I have beat the drum on here before for Eduardo and again I can say that he was a real class act tonight Wenger has called him his "secret weapon" for 08 and I am sure we will be hearing a lot more from him in the goal scoring stakes.
