[Archived] Arsenal Preview

Looks like Eboue dived to get that pen but a ridiculous lunge from Warnock that was nowhere near the ball.

[BRFC1995]

after the taster of what carlos is about against grimsby, i for the life of me can't see how he can't get even 10 minutes in a game we are losing......to finally see him get a run out would take a bit of the edge off a defeat!

[emglch]

too bad roberts not taking the penalty

[Sysagent]

Rovers 0 - 3 Arseholes

Robbo nearly saved the penalty, apparently it was Warnock who was adjudged to have made contact, but he didn't.

[rovers1993]

eboue dived!!! clearly DIVED! sooooo annoying!!!!!!!

[Blackpool_Rover]

i cant believe cheating like that is still going on in our league. BRING IN VIDEO REFS

[Mr. E]

oh well. we played good. That's what matters. Who cares about things like points, they're jsut anoying statistics we shouldn't worry about. We just played so good that's all that matters. yay.

[Fylde Coast Fan]

Charitable penalty, but 7 goals in two games is not good enough this early in the season. Fuming.

[RoverRich]

Eboue is a CHEATING SCUMBAG!!! I hate him with a passion!!!!

[brfc4ever]

Does anybody know why Carlos is not playing ? Not fit ? He must be, since he's on the bench.

No but it was a poor attempt at a challenge from Warnock which invited him to take a dive. We know what players like Eboue are like so why is Warnock giving him the chance to do it?

I am usually a fan of Warnock and his solid displays but today he has been woeful.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Not happy at all with the defending. The scoreline wouldn't hurt so much if it was a case that Arsenal were so good, but we have made schoolboy mistakes and have been punished for it.

Not confident of getting a result against Fulham if we defend like this.

To an extent - early season - performances do matter. However - the year we got relegated - we actually started off quite well losing matches by just the odd goal - being unlucky in matches more than once.

Prior to the start of the season - this was one we expected to lose. Always disappointing to lose - but it is how we go on against teams outside the top 4 that will shape our season.

Confused by no introduction of Carlos - though probably better to introduce him slowly - than push too quick and ruin a potential star.

Take away the match against Hull and it means that in our three matches against established Premiership teams we averagin conceding three goals a game.

[Bazzanotsogreat]

Pathetic. A message to all those sycophants’ that admired the board for there prudence & ‘ability to hold back funds’ for a rainy day; well that rainy day has arrived ( as predicted by a vast many people) and guess what we cant buy anyone for another four months.

The team deteriated a little under Hughes and clearly needed strengthening – You don’t go & sell your only creative player and replace him with lower league dross and has -beans like Fowler.

The sooner the owners’ F ### the better.

Im so glad I come down with the flu on wensday & missed this pile.

Not good enough.

Possibly to sheild him from the inevitable backlash that will occur when he does get a chance and proves a dissapointment compared to his one game so far against a team regularly described as the worst of the 92 league clubs.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Christ 4-0

Some defenders need to be dropped, its not good enough.

[Sysagent]

0 - 4

I am losing confidence rapidly now...

Only positive with this is that Newcastle would be suicidal if they took Ince away from us, so we might still have a ½ baked Manager by the end of next week.

[Rovermatt]

Another awful result. Our loss today is even more galling since this shouldn't be a game that we need to get points out of. Our previous two gutless performances have left us in the mire.

We are leaking a preposterous number of goals and have absolutely nothing going forward since we lost Bentley and failed to make any improvements before the transfer window closed. This is going to be a long, hard season that could very easily end in failure of the worst kind.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Isn't that 8 goals conceeded in our last two games?

A disgrace.

[Fylde Coast Fan]

Very, very annoyed.

Yes, just a little bit disappointing. 4-0, not that big of a deal. Hopefully if only lose 3-0 to Fulham we can go celebrating on the streets. But we can only dream.

[emglch]

it's like rovers were playing at emirates stadium. 0-4! the no. of goals rovers are conceding is absolutely SHOCKING!

[Mr. E]

Not really. I mean Paul Robinson made a good save somewhere in one of those games. That's all that matters. I think we should definitely be satisfied with that.
