Arse are better, obviously, Blackburn just have to take them down to their level a bit, plus there seems to be some legitimate dislike there. It usually isn't quite this bad. Mark Hughes is a bit of redass, I guess. Nothing wrong with a lot of hard tackling and smart fouling, which is usually where it stops at. It isn't like Arsenal weren't responding and it sure seems effective.

It would be interesting to see a list of clubs ranked by cards accumulated from last season, I always assumed Blackburn would be right up there but never bothered to check it out.
