Blackburn were unbeaten in 8 games I thought? maybe im wrong.
Either way they drew most of them so not exactly as good a run as it sounds.
They also played horribley against middlesborough the other week and were very lucky to snatch a late goal for the draw. It's not saying much but they actualy played better against Arsenal than they have in most matches recently despite results.

just rewatched the incident a few times, it didnt look that bad. But according to the reports, all the medical staff are really worried, eduardo has gone straight to hospital.
Hope all is well, just watching gary lewin the arsenal physio and he looks like hes gonna throw up, as white as a ghost.

I'm not sure an ankle break in itself is enough to warrant a red, major injuries occasionally happen in sports. rewinding sky plus it didn't seem a red worthy tackle but it's hard to tell. When Peter Cech was almost killed from a collapsed skull that didn't even warrant a yellow in the ref's eyes and Terry having his foot broken was a yellow.
Anyone have a video of a close up replay? I don't care what Andy Grey says, when a player is sent off, I want to see why. The afforementioned cech incident was replayed endlessly and he could've been killed. When Di Matteo's career was ended, they not only showed the leg breaking tackle, they paused it on the exact moment his leg broke.

Pretty amazing how this thread is pretty quiet 99% of the time, but when we get beat/have a player seriously injured, all the lurkers come on here to have a gloat!

I didnt post to gloat etc.. i was just wondering if anyone had seen it better than i did, and if he was ok. Ive heard more reports that the break is much like the alan smith one last year against liverpool.
I do hope he is ok and recovers, fair comment on the attitude of arcnas, i would never like a players injury, especially a serious one to disrupt a team, but obviously sentiment asside, if your not an arsenal supporter (like me) you do want them to lose this match.

EDIT...
having just seen the pics, i withdraw my previous statement, deserved red, good call.
and its 1 all now, but the goal shouldnt have stood, goal keeper was being assaulted by adebayor.
