Win Premier League: Arsenal FC 3-0 AFC Bournemouth | Saturday, May 4th | KO: 12:30 BST | TNT Sports 1

Starting lineups:





The man's not top dog in Jersey for nothing. He knows there's only so much Angeball can do in the face of a superior outfit

Seeing as I've contributed massively to our season by shepherding the matchday thread against the denizens of the lost & the damned, I figured I should lend some of my gloss to AM once again as I will our beloved Gunners on to victory. Don't know why I'm even bothering as Google seem to think it's a foregone conclusion.



We must be vigilant against this lot, they pushed us all the way last season & they play good football, so we should not slacken in the slightest. But, after the magnificent showing today, I think it's fair to say with a good bit of rest, we should have all the tools to dismantle them if we remain calm.


I certainly am looking forward to this guy losing his rag like he did in the 97th minute last season

In any case, we're on the cusp of greatness & we have a chance to heap further pressure on 115 Charges FC who, hopefully, won't have it all their way.

God willing, we'll take them all the way to the final Sunday. It is our burden, it is our destiny!!

 

[Gooner Zig]

I worry about our left side, all of Tomiyasau,Zinny, Martinell and Trossard are horribly out of form

How is Trossard out of form?

 

[DJ_Markstar]

How is Trossard out of form?

Didn't score a hatty against Chelsea or Sp**s therefore useless

 

[King87]

How is Trossard out of form?

He was shocking against Sp**s and was lucky not to have conceded a pen

 

[dino bravo]

He was shocking against Sp**s and was lucky not to have conceded a pen

One game? Other than that he has been outstanding of late.

 

[GDeep™]

Another easy win. 4-0.

 

[andeoch1]

Trossard to start, end of!

 

[HollandGooner]

Would start Jesus also most likely Bournmouth will defend very deep this is not gonna be the same games against Chelsea and Sp**s who where very open.

 

[OnlyOne]

I don’t think we win here.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

I'm more of a Martinelli guy generally but Trossard deserves to start on form this season.

He's largely been excellent this year. Martinelli has really struggled to find his groove.

Another Trossard start and Martinelli on for the last 20-25 as Trossard does struggle a little stamina wise to play the full 90.

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

Bournemouth will sit deep probably, I'd start the same eleven. Havertz to give us some height instead of Jesus dropping to the CB's. Martinelli as a first sub for when they push up and need a goal to get back in the game.

2-0

 

[Sulosky]

So glad for Jurrien! Good to have him back.

 

[Makingtrax]

3-0 incoming

 

[freeglennhelder2]

Trossard or Martinelli? Should Timber play a part? Surely Jesus would be a fresh pair or legs?


First world problems.

 

[King87]

Bounamont cup final coming up, sick of these teams coming up against us and playing games of their lives, Villa a prime example, they beat us and goes back to rubbish everytime

 

[freeglennhelder2]

The first hurdle here is trying not to concede after 9 seconds like last season. Let’s take it minute by minute

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

1. Arsenal 36 - 83
2. City 35 - 80

Quote me later

 

[Blankety Blank]

No pressure on Bournemouth & a potential banana skin for us.
The manager has done a great job & they are one of the form teams in the table.
Let's hope it's more straightforward than last season.
Keep a clean sheet & a comfortable victory would be nice.

Villa didn’t play the game of their lives. They had much better performance against Villa at home. In fact that’s the best any team has performed in one off game all season. We were just poor

 

[GDeep™]

Good to have an interesting Saturday for once, us and City in action.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

We got nice 6 days rest that was needed so I expect our players be fresh and can end the game early
