Hello and welcome to another ARSBLOG ARSCAST on ARSBLOG.com.

In association as always with oleole.com, the football community website, and we'll be giving you details of oleole.com's fantasy football game and how you can join the ARSBLOG.com fantasy football league on oleole.com a little bit later on in the show.

Coming up between now and the end we have got the man in the bar. He's got a player history as well as that.

Gilberto Silver from GunnerBlog.com will be here talking goalkeepers and looking ahead to the Manchester City game tomorrow.

Manchester City league leaders, hard to believe isn't it?

The beer of the week this week is Fuller's London Pride and Jolly Nice it is too.

And I must say at this point that if anybody out there would like their beer to be beer of the week, I'm quite happy to accept what's it, what do they call it?

Contra deals and advertising is not what it is. You give me some beer and I say that your beer is beer of the week.

Sounds fantastic. It's a great deal for everybody. It's bribe, bribing basically.

So if you want to bribe me to make your beer beer of the week, just email.

Arscast at arsblog.com. Now, let's go to Blackburn, if we will.

I know some of you went there on Sunday and probably have no great desire to go back there anytime soon because from what I can gather,

from the television, listening to Blackburn fans, it's sort of like Retardotown. Maybe I'm being a little harsh but I don't think so.

Every time an arsal player got kicked, it was that whole same old arsal always cheating thing.

And I loved that 1 nil to the referee chant they went down with. Hang on, it was 1 nil to arsdal. Talk to Brad Friedle if you've got a problem.

And we were 1 nil up and Blackburn back in the game in the second half. But I mean, really, they didn't look tremendously like scoring at any point until, of course,

that fateful moment when Jens Lehmann decided his hands were made of wet grass and let the ball go through them from David Dunn with his enormous head.

I know I said it on the blog, but I mean, I can't get over how big and square his head is.

You know, it's like someone has sort of put a nozzle into the back of it. One of the, you know, the football pumps the really thin ones and just sort of put it into the back of his neck and

and then kind of forgotten to let the air out of his head.

So anyway, that was it. 1 1 nil. They ended up with 10 men and Arsene wasn't at all happy with their approach to the game, which they say, you know, it's just it's physical.

And we've been down this role before where teams with, you know, players that aren't necessarily as good as other teams, you know, play a physical game.
