Ok I admit I was a little worried during the game. Especially after Nzonzi put Blackburn one up after only four minutes and Paul Robinson was playing like the goalkeeper he once was.
Then Dun put Blackburn in front again, before RVP and Arshavin game Arsenal a 3-2 lead at half-time. In a game like this the next goal was always going to be important and Arsenal got it from Fabregas, who was brilliant today.
Sam Allardyce is still fuming at the non-call on Thomas Vermaelen, who appeared to trip David Dunn when the score was still 3-2. If Blackburn had gotten a penalty and scored who knows how the game would have ended.
But they did not and Arsenal continued to push forward and the Gunners got goals from Walcott and Bendtner to make the 6-2 score look like an Arsenal rout. It was not.
The six goals means that Arsenal are the top scorers in the Premier League with 24 goals in 7 Premier League games. More importantly, with Liverpool and Manchester United dropping points, if Arsenal wins its game in hand, the Gunners will be three points ahead of Liverpool and one behind Manchester United. That is a pretty good position to be in.

Its simple, if it was 3-3, the end result would be 7-3

RUBBISH – It was a total rout and but for two flukey goals, Blackburn would not have registered. Arsenal were always going to win this game because they could almost score at will. This team is really starting to grow and with a little luck, they’ll go from strength to strength and at last silence the critics.
Come on you Reds
Fat Sam as usual complains and tries to rub into us by praising (kissing the arse of) chelski , maybe to distract others from the humiliation yesterday. Dunn purposely tried to hurt Mannone. Anyway it’s a good win against fat sam’s team.
we did gr8 yday and blackburn had no chance. you all said it rite. sam’s just a fat spoilt and whining baby. when ever arsenal wins the pundits say it’s down to luck or sumvn else…we’ve got a gr8 team..well, except for diaby who still seems out of place. think he should have been loaned out to mature.. well done boys.
