Does his one-on-one last week not tell you all you need to know?

[Skippy]

Interesting to see Van Persie start, I read a couple of Wenger quotes where hé said he was tempted to rest Van Persie and start either Henry or put Theo down the middle. I'm intrigued by how he'd do there to be honest. Would hé show glimpses that suggest that down the middle is 'his position' or would it just be the same old story.

For the love of all that is holy he NEEDS to do this. For the sake of Theo's career if nothing else, he's just not a winger but if he's supplied well enough he could (slowly but surely) turn into a classy poacher.

Henry doesn't have the legs to start I don't think.

My footy bet approves

[Corazon de Leon]

What is this I don't even

[Zellery]

Blackburn.

[Joer]

Should have saved that, made enough contact with it. Committed one foul and they score from their first shot from it.

[Dowbocop]

Bollocks.

We've been all over them so far judging from the live text commentaries, just need to keep that up and we can hopefully get back in front.

[Joer]

Yeah, it was their first shot, although it was a brilliant free-kick, he should have saved it still. Got enough of a hand on it to have been able to stop it.

[Corazon de Leon]

Normal service resumed. strawberry float off Rosicky though.

[Zellery]

So what if it's their first shot?

They had over 20 the other night and didn't score.

Anyway, normal service has resumed.

[Joer]

Awesome typical Arsenal goal!

I said that in reply to Dowbo as he said "We've been all over them so far judging from the live text commentaries".

Serious? Are you watching the game? There was no intent to take him out.

Also, Oxlade.

[Zellery]

RIP Blackburn.

I'm not watching the game(can't find a stream, don't want one now), but he can still strawberry float off. Lowe's just about our only decent defender.
