⚽ Arsenal vs Bournemouth, League, Saturday 4th Mar 3pm

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Big Willie where you from?

Daz

Big Willie did you get on the nose beers or something mate 😂

Clrnc

The beautiful game, everyone around the world celebrating the same moment like mad men.

Doc

Burnwinter

Doc Gotta laugh at White there. Apparently Neto tried to brain him deliberately going for a high ball earlier.

Pepe LeFrits

haha, pandemonium. Only way it be better is Nelson had gone go for a full Grosso like celebration.

Gurgen

I also don’t buy this we were flat stuff. Both their goals should have been disallowed and we should have had 5-6 penalties. As I said, it’s easy to defend when you can handle the ball and punch people in the box at will. If we don’t win the league it’s 100% on the corrupt officials in this piece of shit league.

Bring Back Kerrea Gilbert

Gurgen they'll do whatever they can to stop us. Been this way since late '04.

Clrnc

We should be at least 7 points clear which makes a lot of difference.

If inclusive of the United match, then 10 points clear.

KingslandBarge

USArsenal

Really wouldn't call it the shoulder! unless you are preferable to that oversized t shirt styling. However, looking at repeatedly, he's probably obscured his movement just enough for an argument he's shuffling his body rather leading with the arm. Not for me though, thats a penalty and fits the overall pattern of what they were trying to get away it.

Kel Varnsen

Poor ESR though.

Qwiss

Kel Varnsen Is there any word on him? I'm still hoping he was just taken off because as a precaution. He played 45 minutes, maybe that was always the plan.

goon

Kel Varnsen he seemed as delighted as anyone else on the pitch after the game. After the year he's had I reckon he'll just be delighted to get some football. He'll get plenty more over the next few weeks, starting this Thursday.

Qwiss

Claudius I contest that we were flat. We are going to have a lot of games like this the next three months. Teams sitting back absorbing pressure. A team with 80% possession, 90% field tilt and 30 shots isn’t flat.

We were or weren't flat?

I thought we were. Possession is our baseline and being flat isn't the same as being a mess. We had our basics mostly in order bar the first minute. The issue was there was little or no spark until the end. TBF we are missing Jesus, Eddie and Tross and thats always going to make life harder in the final 3rd.

Don Pacifico

Qwiss I'm sure I saw an Arteta interview where he said something along the lines of not intending to bring him on so early so then needing to take him off early. Sounded like it was purely fitness related rather than an injury.

goon

I love this:

Burnwinter

goon So beautiful, though the one from seconds before @Doc has posted above, with White in Neto's face is even better, I think! 😂

Probably been mentioned earlier, but commentator on the coverage I had said with Xhaka dropping to the bench this was the first time since 1986 that we've started a game without a single player who made an appearance under Wenger.

IBL

I'm sure you mean 96, but yeah that's some stat

Big Willie

IBL I'm sure you mean 96, but yeah that's some stat

Nah, 86. Cuz Under Wenger we had the Famous Back Four as well as the likes of likes of Seaman, Keown, Merson, Wright and Platt. The back 5 alone assuming at least one played in every game back to 86 is enough to make that stat true. Its not a stat of the players signed under Wenger turned out for us, its the player who played under Wenger turned out for us. Between 86 and yesterday every match day we had a player turn out for us who played under Wenger at one point or another.

invisibleman18

IBL No it was 86 as Big Willie said. The late 80s would have had Adams, Dixon, Winterburn, Bould who all played under Wenger. I think even Merson might have played in Wenger's first season too. Then through the 90s before Wenger arrived add in the likes of Seaman, Keown and Wright.
