    Foy is a nutter. In one phase of the game he decides to let everything go and then in another he starts booking people for each foul.

    Oh it's Chris Foy in charge? No wonder he has made so many crap decisions. I don't know who has been more shocking, him or Walcott.

    Because so far Robin has not had a decent chance.

    It's not the Arsenal way, we'd rather play pretty and lose than play ugly and win.

    I'm not exactly sure how we are not ahead, Bolton are dire. It looks like after the first 20 mins where we could have scored 4 they improved/we lost confidence. Hopefully Arsene will have another inspiring team talk ala aston villa.

    I think we need to double up on Ngog when it's needed. He's getting far too much room and he could have scored. That said we should be 2 nil up, the Ramsey and Walcott chances were 1-1. It's good to see that we're creating chances though and I think Szczesy has has only had to make one save of significance. Sagna looks fresh, Walcott, whilst at his frustrating best, is still right in the thick of the forward play. To be honest, I'm a bit relieved it's 0-0. I think we'll come out and be much more effective with our attacking in the second half, a la Villa .....

    I thought we played quite well but the finishing has been poor. That OXO pass to Walcott, wow. Hopefully by second half we'll tighten up and be more clinical. I think Rosicky should come on for Ramsey. Also the refereeing has been well dodgy. Firstly he doesn't give out any cards and then gives 2 out for nothing, well one was nothing. That Vermaelen yellow card was comical!

    Good grief, watching that Walcott miss again. Talk about a lack of conviction.

    Please don't keep saying the defence is crap just because they give a chance away. They are going to get chances to score. Just becasue they get a chance, doesn't mean somebody committed a "schoolboy" mistake.

    Walcott has been quite poor, probably the worst player on the pitch and Ramsey being second. Walcott's control and decison making has been bad. Hopefully he'll pick it up second half.

    Don't worry, we'll wake up when Bolton put one or two past us, I promise.

    And apparently he wants to play as a CF? Hilarious. A nun would have more conviction between two open legs than him.

    Not a bad performance so far, we're asking questions. By the way, can anyone remind me of the last good Walcott performance?

    I don't think they are crap, but Koscielny has been poor today and Vermaelen isn't that great at LB.

    I didn't see the match but apparently he played well after he scored that fluke goal against Villa. The problem is he is too much of a confidence player so we can't rely on him when the going gets tough. And the last match I remember him playing well in was against chelsea.
