Ineptitude Reigns

By: Trent | Comments 1 Comment

Arsenal have bowed out of the FA Cup after losing to Blackburn 0-1 at Ewood Park. Arsenal were denied two clear penalties prior to Benni McCarthy’s late, great goal.
The referee was, needless to say, Graham Poll. And everyone’s excited that he will be doing the ManYoo – ‘Pool match this weekend.

Full Time: PSV 1-0 Arsenal

By: Trent | Comments 2 Comments

Not a good result for the Gunners. They will be at home for the second leg, but they will need to greatly improve on their finishing (what’s new) to advance.
The game’s lone goal was scored by…Edison Mendez of course. Now where could one have read that he’s the man to look out for? [...]

Half Time: PSV 0-0 Arsenal

By: Trent | Comments No Comments

Nothin’ doin’ at the half. Arsenal have shown more signs of life, but neither team is giving much up in this Champions League match.
In fact, it looks as if all three British teams (Arsenal, Celtic, ManYoo) will head into half time at 0-0.
Only Real Madrid, currently thumping Bayern Munich 3-1, has shown dominance thus [...]

The draw has been held for the FA Cup quarterfinals, and if Arsenal can defeat Blackburn in a fifth-round replay the Citizens will visit Ashburton Grove.
Speaking of Blackburn, how about that wily American Brad Friedel pulling out all the stops against Arsenal over the weekend? Seems like a long time since his display at [...]

Full Time: Arsenal 0-0 Blackburn

By: Trent | Comments 1 Comment

Not much to add to that FA Cup 5th-round scoreline. Arsenal had more chances, Blackburn did some decent defending, and Aliadiere was obviously fouled in the box but the ref had gone missing. The Rovers will be pleased with the result.
