Arsenal 7 (Seven)-1 Blackburn Rovers Premier League 4th February 2012
After a sustained period of dismal performances and almost no points, Arsenal needed to
rediscover their mojo on Saturday if they were to stay in the hunt for a top-four finish.
Newcastle United are up to fifth in the Premier League after they beat Blackburn Rovers 2-0,
while Arsenal's poor run of form continues as they were held 0-0 at Bolton.
Newcastle are now just three points behind Chelsea and a UEFA Champions League place as the
Magpies leapfrog both Liverpool and Arsenal with the win.

CorrespondentsMake every time a good time. We love to see you smile. Have you had your break
today? Foods, folks, and fun. Over the years, the marketing team at McDonald's has produced some of
America's most recognizable campaigns.
Just seen this on Twitter:
Paul Robinson (12) has conceded 4 more goals from outside the box this season than any other
keeper in the league (Wayne Hennessey 8)
I have been banging on about Paul Robinson not being a good goalkeeper for years now. He is very
good at the reflex stuff that look good on TV, but consistently posts saves/shots ratios that are
worse than most other goalkeepers, mainly because he seems hugely vulnerable to shots from a bit
further out.
Oh dear.
Yakubu sent off in the first half, Samba missing. What more could we ask for?
Made a right horlicks of this one. Blackburn are a half-decent side in the middle of a horrible
season but we're good enough to win in these circumstances. Should have done, comfortably.
Blackburn scored the first with a Pedersen free-kick just on half-time, then the second from
Dunn just after the break.
Despite struggling to overtake David de Gea as Manchester United's outright first choice
goalkeeper, Anders Lindegaard has the highest save percentage in the Premier League through 20
games.
The Dane, who caught people's attention when he kept 5 clean sheets in his first 5 Premier
League starts has saved 84.
Everton keeper Tim Howard became only the fourth keeper in Premier League
history to score a goal when he scored last night against Bolton in their 2-1 defeat at Goodison
Park. The Other three are:
Peter Schmeichel for Aston Villa v Everton in 2001 at Goodison Park.
szólj hozzá: Howard amazing goal
Bolton's Bogdan could do little but look stunned after Tim Howard booted the ball upfield and it
took a bounce that evaded him altogether. The wind carried it a good 20 yards further. Howard
refused to celebrate mindful of goalkeeper union rules. The stunning goal hogged the headlines
obscuring the equally stunning comeback by Bolton for an exceedingly rare win.
Liverpool huffed and puffed once more but came up against another excellent goalkeeping display. A
feat that Mark Bunn probably will and could not repeat even if he tried. The journeyman goalkeeper
showed far better reflexes than Paul Robinson have had this season to deny Andy Carroll a
confidence-boosting goal.
Bolton Wanderers are hoping to swoop on Liverpool duo Raheem Sterling and Jon Flanagan on-loan in
the January transfer window.
Manager Owen Coyle is desperate for new recruits to salvage his team's season after two wins all
season has left his side second bottom.
Winger Sterling, 17, is one of the most highly-rated teenagers in England and Coyle insists he can
help the teenager's development in the same way he has done for Jack Wilshere and Daniel Sturridge.
Even the return of captain Steven Gerrard after a two-month absence failed to lift Liverpool out of
their current Anfield malaise as the Barlcays Premier League's bottom club Blackburn left with a
point they barely deserved.
The England international, sidelined since October with an ankle problem, played the final 21
minutes but could not inspire a change in fortunes.
Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean has expressed his pride at his players' resilience in holding
Liverpool to a 1-1 draw in their Boxing Day clash.
The visitors held on to condemn the Reds to their seventh draw of the season and their sixth at
Anfield as Kenny Dalglish's men failed to push on after Maxi Rodriguez's equalizer.
It's back to Anfield for Liverpool as they host Blackburn in the penultimate match of 2011. Home
victories have been hard to come by for Kenny Dalglish's squad, with only three wins in their eight
matches at Anfield. There's no better opposition for remedying that problem than tomorrow's,
though, as they'll face a Rovers side that's winless in eight away fixtures and stapled to the
bottom of the Premier League table.
Boxing Day Against Blackburn
A worried Steve Kean could do with three points on Boxing Day... Liverpool welcome Blackburn
Rovers to Anfield on Boxing Day for a festive feast of footy. Blackburn have been very poor of late
and with unbearable pressure on manager Steve Kean it could work in Liverpool's favour.

Blackburn have been very poor of late and with unbearable pressure on manager Steve Kean it could
work in Liverpool's favour. Blackburn have sometimes shown signs of taking teams to the cleaners
but they've lost their nerve at vital moments.

Liverpool v BLACKBURN: Under-fire Steve Kean may be without keeper Paul Robinson for
Anfield test
Beleaguered Blackburn manager Steve Kean is hoping his defence will not be further weakened by
the absence of goalkeeper Paul Robinson for their Boxing Day clash at Liverpool.
Showing that chunky lads can cut the mustard in the top flight 1. Grant Holt (Norwich) He's a big
unit. When he had his moustache he looked more like a rogue DC from a 1970s police drama than a top
footballer. Nonetheless, he's proved he can score in the Premier League. 2. Jonathan Walters
(Stoke) [.
Terry and Cole recreate a scene from 'Blades of Glory'
For many years - too many to mention - Tottenham simply could not beat Chelsea. Yes, there was
the 5-1 victory at White Hart Lane in the 2002 League Cup semi-final, when everything clicked an
even Sergei Rebrov scored, but in the Premier League up until 2006, it just would not happen for
Spurs.
It was billed as a match in which the losing manager would get fired, and if that is the case
then it will be a much happier Christmas in the Coyle household this season than the Kean one as
Bolton beat Blackburn Rovers 2-1 in a relegation six pointer.
The result means Blackburn replace Bolton at the foot of the Premier League, and Rovers will be
bottom at Christmas with only one team avoiding relegation from that position.

1. Wayne Rooney's hair transplant was definitely worth it. His new quiff got the ball rolling for
Manchester United in their match against QPR. 2. The QPR supporters' "Warnock for England" chants
might encourage Blackburn fans to try a change of tactics. Kean for Scotland, anyone? 3. Then
again, if Aston Villa keep putting in [.
Stoke City ended Tottenham's six-match Premier League winning streak while Martin O'Neill's
Sunderland left it late to heap more misery on Steve Kean and Blackburn Rovers.
Simon Vukčević's early goal seemed destined to give Blackburn their second consecutive victory
and lift them out of the bottom three.
With Shay Given out for a month, Brad Guzan gets his first Premier League start, and it's also
emerged this week that the American is in contract discussions with his current deal set to expire
at the end of the season. Jermaine Jenas is out for the season, and with the club apparently on the
hook for his wages the less said about that the better.

Premier League Wigan Athletic 3-3 Blackburn Rovers 19th November 2011
Blackburn boss Steve Kean confronts the 'Kean Out' Rovers' fans
The DW Stadium hosted a quite fantastic 'relegation dogfight' which produced a total of six
goals in a game which ultimately saw Wigan and Blackburn have to make do with a share of the
points.
Not to be taken too seriously GK – Paul Robinson The Blackburn goalkeeper has retired from
international duty, presumably due to the time taken commuting from 22 Ramsay Street, Australia.
Add this to also owning the Erinsborough news, and it's a wonder Robbo finds time for footy at all.
RB – Glen Johnson Often criticised [.

Remember, remember, the fifth of November.
boats n hoes
Remember? None of us are likely to forget this fifth of November if Chelsea somehow fail to win
for a third successive game. A loss our third straight in the league and, well, Andre Villas-Boas
will be remembering the good ol' days back in Portugal.

Rafa's 1998 Heemskerk Disco Dancing Champion medal was still very much at the forefront of his
mindApologies for the lack of posts in recent days. It's been fairly non-stop ever since this
blogsworth returned from Blackburn at 1am on Monday morning. Yes, that's right, it's not all dodgy
Internet streams and crowded pub visits to watch games for me.
Is this week's man of the match a formality or does someone other than Rafael van der Vaart
deserve the champagne after his double strike in yesterday's 2-1 win at Blackburn?
The Dutchman is in a rich vein of striking form with five golas in his last four games and was
singled out for praise by manager Harry Redknapp after the match.

Bolton Wanderers 0-2 Sunderland Premier League 22 October
2011
Goals from Stephane Sessegnon and Nicklas Bendtner gave Sunderland their first way win of the
season and consigned Owen Coyle's sorry Bolton side to yet another defeat.
Bottom of the league and calling for the managers head. Devastating depression is what springs to
mind flicking through the posts on the Rovers forums. With protests planned before and after the
game, some reckon it could get dicey around the stadium should Blackburn suffer a heavy defeat,
with some predicting carnage on and off the pitch.
Sunday 23rd October 2011. Ewood Park. 3pm Kick off.
Sunday sees Spurs travel to Ewok Park (anyone else miss Soccer AM's days of actually being
funny?) to take on Blackburn. Before the season kicked off I did a guest appearance on The Elastico
podcast for their Premier League season preview.

Bolton Wanderers lifted themselves off the bottom with a deserved win away to
Wigan.
Two Manchester teams, continue their winning run in the premier league this weekend proving that
their disappointing results in Europe didn't really affect their domestic performances as both
successfully beaten their opponents this Saturday.
Manchester United bagged a 2-0 victory over their visitor, Norwich City, while the Eastlands
salvaged their Champions League defeat with a trashing over Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park.

It is highly likely that the media focus on this game will centre upon Gary Cahill. No doubt he
is a good player (though he was crap against MU) but the interest has little to do with his playing
ability and more to do with the conflict between the clubs off pitch. Should we be surprised that
Gartside decided to go public with the transfer negotiation and made a prat of himself?
