Arsenal didn't create much.When a out player stays in goal you have to at least make some shots...

4-0 Henry,Hoyte and Van Persie scored 2.

This should have been 10-0 they hit the post twice and the bar once and Carson saved 3 one on one's.

Fantastic way to start a new year for Arsenal.
Charlton's good form is already over.

Pardew's got a lot to do but I think Charlton hired him to get them re-promoted, not to save them this season.

If they sell Darren Bent that will be all you can expect him to do.

Just 20 days have passed since Blackburn suffered a resounding 6-2 defeat at Emirates Stadium, but Mark Hughes' men have won all four games since and will be hopeful of causing Arsenal problems on Saturday, live on PremPlus.

Rovers outbattled the Premiership's fourth-placed side last season in a 1-0 win at Ewood Park, and the weekend's encounter is likely to be another stern test of Arsenal's durability on the road.

However, Arsene Wenger's men could hardly be in a more positive frame of mind as they come into the game off the back of their incredible 6-3 win at Anfield in the Carling Cup on Wednesday.

The Gunners' first XI is likely to take on a different complexion at Ewood Park, and worryingly for Rovers the Londoners will strengthen for their visit to Lancashire.

The likes of Thierry Henry, Gilberto and Tomas Rosicky should all reclaim their places, whilst Togolese striker Emmanuel Adebayor is back to challenge Robin van Persie for a starting role after suffering a thigh injury on Boxing Day.

William Gallas is one senior figure who will not make the game as the French international has suffered a setback in his recovery from a thigh injury, meaning Philippe Senderos and Johan Djourou will fight for the right to partner Kolo Toure at the heart of defence.

Justin Hoyte will continue at right-back as Emmanuel Eboue and Lauren remain short of fitness, whilst Abou Diaby could claim a place on the bench after making his comeback against Liverpool.

Freddie Ljungberg is still struggling with a hamstring injury, and Wenger will be under pressure to start with Julio Baptista after his four-goal haul at Anfield.

Rovers boss Hughes has doubts surrounding Shabani Nonda due to a groin problem, but Benni McCarthy is currently one of the most in-form strikers in England with a goal in each of his last five outings and will return along with Robbie Savage after being rested for the FA Cup win over Everton.

In-demand defender Lucas Neill also returns to the team after serving a one-match ban, but former Arsenal man David Bentley does sit out due to suspension.

Fellow former Gunner Francis Jeffers is still short of fitness despite training on Thursday and whilst Steven Reid (back), Ryan Nelsen (hamstring) and Jason Roberts (broken metatarsal) are all making encouraging progress, the key trio are likely to be absent for another few weeks.

Gilberto sent off after kicking Savage.

**kyan** · 13-01-2007, 05:37 PM

that was some shit refereeing, savage had made 2 shit tackles on gilberto and gilberto kicked out, barely caught him but both deserved the same punishment.
