Blackburn Rovers: We Need 3 Points

Saturday sees us take on relegation fodder Blackburn Rovers at the Emirates Stadium. After our recent form (LLLD), it anything less than 3 points is a disaster. Honestly.

We are already 5 points behind the stuttering Chelsea in fourth place. Although I do not consider Newcastle and Liverpool much of a threat in the medium to long-term, one must start to get worried. Newcastle in particular have added Senegalese firepower in Papis Cisse to their attack. We all know about Demba Ba. If those two players kick on as I expect they will, we really shall be in trouble.

Liverpool are just a bunch of average cunts. I fancy Newcastle to be our biggest rival for 5th place.

Yes, our defence has not covered itself in glory, but really our best form of defence has always been attack. You cannot win games if you don't out-score your opponents. So what if you let in a goal or two at the back? As long as you can go on and score 1 more than you let in, you are ok. We have gone away from home, scored two goals or more but still gone on to lose the game. That means we need to score more. And we definitely need to score more, considering the number of chances we create.

Our players have been talking the talk, about how we are good, about how we have the quality, about how we need to do this and that... I will not bother to link because we have heard these words over and over and over but nothing ever changes.

I sincerely hope we beat Blackburn tomorrow, but if we don't I won't kill myself, somewhere in my heart I have created room for disappointment.

On a more positive note, our injured players like Jenkinson and Gibbs are close to being in the team again. Let's hope they stay fit long enough to make a positive impact on the team until the end of the season. Fourth  place is really out of our hands now, we must win all our remaining games and hope that one of Chelsea, Tottenham, Manc-ies United and Shitey drop enough points to fall out of the top four.

Or else, we shall be in the Europa League- most likely- next season. Which may just be where we belong...

Sideways march the Arsenal!!!
