Beat Blackburn or beat Arsenal?

Please don't quote it. I have it on ignore.

No contest. Keep winning league games and fixtures like next Saturdays will be come the norm. Beating Blackburn is far more important.

 

[Steve Foster]

Beat Blackburn.

 

[grubbyhands]

No one will remember the Blackburn game in years to come. Even if we lost, there are many league games left.

The Arsenal occasion will live long in the memory. Let's win that and raise the stature of the club even more.

Well,I personally hope we beat Blackburn first and then hope we give a good account of ourselves against the Gunners. Certainly don't want it to be as painfully memorable as Anfield last year for all the wrong reasons.

 

[The Modfather]

Would love to win both but a win over Blackburn is preferable

And may i add that i'd go for a Blackburn victory please. These glamour ties are all well and good, but i disagree with the Brov in terms of what really makes a game. Celebrities who really don't give most of a damn don't do it for me, so it is those dirty little games in far off places that for me stand out in memory and adventure. Just having more people to tell about a true underdog victory or boasting to strangers of a david and goliath affair is one thing, but it's impersonal and doesn't link to my feelings of what the Albion are at present.

3pts for me. Although i'm going to the game i don't care about the cup much..... just want to see a good game, and hope we don't get battered

No, not him. If you had one of the Golden Girls, a living one if you don't mind, in a leotard for halftime entertainment, then i'm in.

There speaks a far wiser man than me

Both, but if just one Blackburn for sure

 

[warmleyseagull]

Minority view but I would go for the money generated by a 5th round tie to make a small contribution to these multi million transfer deals. If 2-3 points is difference between PO and 7th/8th in May would regret but take the chance.

BTW the guy next to me at Brum said yesterday that Arsenal are the only team in League that we have played (ie not Fleetwood etc) that we have never beaten. Is that right?

 

[Charlies Shinpad]

Three points against Blackburn for me.
FA Cup is a drain on our players and an easy distraction from our real priority of promotion

No, we beat Arsenal in two successive seasons at the Goldstone, in 1981/2 and 1982/3.

 

[murciagull]

I asked this question in another post the other day and I think that is right

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Blackburn

 

[Titus]

There is only one answer

No, there's two. Are you really that stupid?

 

[BrianSwan]

Arsenal (if I was you)

I don't think you will go up, so if you had a memory to hold on to for this season would it be beating Blackburn or the great Arsenal?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Blackburn. And generate an extra pay-day by drawing with Arsenal. Then beating them at their place. Obviously.

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

We can sustain a few more draws,whilst our new striker settles,before kicking on with wins after a (season changing win versus a full strength Arsenal)

ARSENAL-

Personally i think we will win both
