where is everybody!?!?!?!?!

a bit stunned no thread has been set up for this........

Arsenal: Szczesny, Coquelin, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Monreal, Diaby, Rosicky, Arteta, Gervinho, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Giroud. Subs: Mannone, Sagna, Podolski, Wilshere, Walcott, Ramsey, Cazorla.

Blackburn: Kean, Orr, Dann, Grant Hanley, Martin Olsson, Pedersen, Williamson, Lowe, Markus Olsson, Kazim-Richards, Rhodes. Subs: Usai, Givet, Nunes, Nuno Gomes, Rekik, Goodwillie, Bentley.

Referee: Mike Dean (Wirral)

Good thing no one's bagging on Gervinho, at least. That chance was a lot harder than it looked. Although it was still our best chance so far.

should turn it up for the second half...looking a little sluggish at the mo...

Yeah, not the best I've seen us play. Although to be fair, Blackburn are defending like mad right now.

yer blackburn are just trying to keep it tidy...good thing about a cup game they have to come out and attack and if we are finding it hard to break them down they we have to be patient and with for the openings and take the chances...

This board is pretty much dead these days.

But anyway, at least we're playing well, even if we haven't scored yet. Gervinho just doing what he does, no one can honestly be angry about him missing that chance, this is just the way he is.

i dont understand why its so quiet....has everybody headed off to different sites???

come on arsenal take some chances.....we are gonna need to bring on pod and co at this rate...

Bentley on now - you know what usually happens to us in such situations.

Brilliant strike, but no cigar :\

What a shot...

Good strike from Diaby too!

Oh shit, big guns coming out now.

The three players who just came off really have missed their chance to stake their claim for a place in the starting XI.

Not quite what Wenger had in mind when he threw on Wilshere, Walcott & Cazorla.

For fuck's sake...

fucking typical..we should have made the changes just after half time...now the players we bring on have to bust a gut to make this tie happen...

Replay or extra-time if we draw today?

replay

WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING!?!?!?!?!?!

out of the cup..can see it now.....looking at the bayern game with a non understanding of what we can gain from it apart from a bit more prize money win or lose...this is a good shot at a cup..almost gone....

Don't see us scoring - desperate stuff from Blackburn here.

best chance gone.....game and cup chances gone....
