CHRIS SAMBA has told Arsene Wenger to stop whining and get ready for a whooping.

In the past, the Arsenal boss has criticised Blackburn for their robust approach to the game.

But 6ft 4in centre-back Samba is gearing up to dish out some rough stuff as Rovers try to combat Arsenal's silky skills.

He said: "Some people may complain about the way we play against them - maybe the Arsenal coach - but it is just part of the game to us and everyone here is trying to win. We don't care what they say. We just want the result so it doesn't bother us if a fuss is made.

"The Premier League is one of the toughest in the world. It's a little bit more rough and aggressive than in other countries and us or Bolton battle harder than other teams.

"If you play against a player that has good movement you have to shut them down, so you have to be aggressive. It's not because it's Arsenal - it's part of the game.

"Against players that move a lot you have to be on the offensive and show them that they won't have it easy.''

He's right what he's saying, yeah they are agressive but what they are doing are all inside the rules! Arsenal players dont have this side to their game but play to their strengths as do blackburn!
