Robbie Savage

[Billy Dane]

What a cu**. If Gilberto was sent off, Savage should have gone as well, cheating t***

[psl]

What happened?

[Sion]

who cares as long as Arsenal drop points!

 

We need them 3 points+ behind us incase we lose next week to Chelsea...so we'll stay 3rd.

[Billy Dane]

Savage clattered Gilberton from behind, gilberto went down under the challenge, Savage gave him a bit more and Gilberto kicked out with his leg (not that badly tbh). Savage went down like he'd been shot.

 

Rob Styles sent Gilberto off and booked Savage.

[Cobs]

good.

[Hassony]

this is what savage is good at, as long as he is doing it against our rivals i am happy

[Redwire]

Rob Styles sent Gilberto off and booked Savage.

 

Correct decision.

[Bailo]

a*** 1-0 up though. Toure.

[Cobs]

a*** are 1-0 up

[Sion]

c**k

 

Foul by Lucas Neill (Blackburn) on Robin Van Persie (Arsenal). Lucas Neill (Blackburn) booked for unsporting behaviour. Direct free kick taken right-footed by Thierry Henry (Arsenal) from right channel, headed goal by Kolo Toure (Arsenal) (top-left of goal) from centre of penalty area (12 yards).Blackburn 0-1 Arsenal. Assist (pass) by Thierry Henry (Arsenal) from right channel.

 

He seems to give away a lot of free kicks/pens ledaing to goals.

Commentators are being total knob jockeys. Savage clipped him from behind, yellow card is fair, Gilberto kicked him off the ball in retaliation, red card. Good refereeing.

[RafaShanks]

a*** are 1-0 up

 

From a freekick conceeded by Neill, who was subsequently booked for bringing down Van Persie (who dived per usual). Granted that the freekick was someway out and Toure wasn't picked up properly for his header.

 

Very concerned about Neill's general clumsyness.

They play United the day after so that game could go either way as well.

[Nebraska Red]

are the commentators on a bonus for mentioning Arsenal's wins against us last week?

 

Nigel Winterburn is a gormless bum, how he gets to be commentating is a mystery.

 

cruddy game really, Arsenal will probably go and win this by 2 or 3 now as Blackburn fail to use the extra man and get caught on the break.

[New York Red]

Look at the replay. Savage gave Gilberto a forearm into the back of his neck.

 

Savage should have gone too.

[RafaShanks]

f*** me. What a brilliant goal.

Errrr. OK.

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

do me a favour, that was a c***'s trick by Savage. Gilberto flicked a foot, while on his knees. A butterfly would have made more serious contact with Savage.

 

Imagine Gerrard got sent-off for similar?

 

Yes, stupid by Gilberto, but if that's what footy's going to descend to...

 

 

Arsenal's 2nd was a feckin great goal

[Will]

He seems to give away a lot of free kicks/pens ledaing to goals.

 

I've not seen the incident but... he can be lambasted for giving away pens. He can be lambasted for giving away free-kicks in dangerous areas. But whether they lead to goals or not is hardly his fault alone...

I watched the whole game and Neill was their best player by a country mile. He's suprisingly a good footballer, who's an excellent passer, who's also great going forward.

 

Blackburn were utter gash though. You would never have thought they had an extra man for most of the game.

 

Lets hope the Gooners can do a job on the Mancs next weekend.

Got a nice quota of ex Arsenal links, has Sky.

'Henrys goal up there with goal of the season' according to shearer. Get the f***!

[Rimbeux]

Gilberto has only himself to blame, RvP dived for the free kick, Arsenal are excellent with 10 men, great at it.

[betterman]

I hate to see anyone behaving like he does on a football field. Doesn't matter who it's for or who it's against.

 

As regards the incident itself, Gilberto should have known better, especially with the game they have next weekend.

[Ramón Benítez Hernández]

F*ckin foreigners like Savage are ruining the game with their diving.

 

There was NO contact from Gilberto.
