Team news - two changes for Arsenalpublished at 16:21 British Summer Time 16:21 BST Arsenal v Bournemouth (17:30 BST) Arsenal XI: Raya, White, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly, Rice, Partey, Odegaard, Saka, Martinelli, Trossard. Subs:Setford, Tierney, Zinchenko, Clarke, Merino, Nwaneri, Butler-Oyedeji, Gower, Sterling. Rice, Partey, Odegaard and Saka start. I would have rested all of them
I think it's a good thing they're starting because we need some momentum heading into the PSG game and we've dropped too many points recently. Also, CL qualification isn't secured yet for next season, so winning today would (in my opinion) effectively guarantee CL football next season, especially as Chelsea, Villa, Forest and Newcastle have some tricky fixtures left, and some of them will be playing each other. Bournemouth are no mugs and caused us a lot of problems that first half. A win today gives us 70 points and I think that would safely give us passage into the 25/26 CL campaign, even if we don't pick up a single point from our remaining 3 games.
If we don't actually get CL football next season, then these ****ing idiots deserve this. The amount of points we've dropped over the last 10 games has been absolutely comical.
Liverpool and Newcastle in the league next. We're not getting a single point from either of those, too. I don't think CL will be secure until final game of the season and that, you would think, would be a banker against Southampton. But our league form has been so bad, that I can't even say we'd even win that.
FT. 1-2. ****ing disastrous result and absolutely shocking final 20 minutes where we're now being dragged back into a top-5 scrap. We seriously didn't need this to happen. We needed to win today and we've made life so hard for ourselves, especially with our remaining fixtures. We'd better turn it around in Paris on Wednesday. This season couldn't have gone much worse. This game was supposed to boost our confidence ahead of the PSG game and instead, there's more question marks and more worries. Our capitulation in the league has truly been something else. Let's see how the players and manager dress this one up. Disgraceful, the lot of them.
I don’t really understand how we’ve only got three wins (and 14pts) from the last ten games and we’re STILL second in this league. And second by three full points as well as a massively superior GD. It’s not like we had a blinding start either. We were crap for most of the start of the season too. We could L, D, D the final three and that would still guarantee us 3rd. Bafflingly **** teams going for top 5 this year (and I include us in this).
Arsenal have dropped 21 points from winning positions in the league this season. The most we've ever dropped in a single campaign.
You did, but I didn't think we were going to be so ****ing bad to drop points against Brentford, Everton, West Ham, Palace and Bournemouth. I thought the standards we'd set over the last 2 years would ensure we'd at least have some degree of professionalism but clearly I was wrong. I genuinely cannot believe we're going to be in a top-5 scrap soon. Just mindblowing how terrible we've been. This team and manager have got a lot to answer for if we end the season trophyless.
‘Warn us’? You post endless ****e on this board, write like a teenager yet bafflingly are apparently much older and think many people on here care about warnings from you? You’re a random who supports a club that i don’t care about. There’s only about four Arsenal fans on this board and i barely take notice of what’s posted on here by those three let alone fans of non entity clubs. You may as well warn that Cardiff will catch us soon. Go and posts memes and gifs on the prem board. You do nothing on here but antagonise. You sometimes dress it up with enough vaguely serious football chat (but still laced with biased ****e) to ‘disguise’ your wummery but ultimately you’re an annoyance who makes this board worse by posting on here.
I was just reminding you and I appreciate you're not being petty like this other bloke. It's highly likely we'll lose at Brighton and it was merely a bit of banter, apologies for any trouble. It was gifs last time and now its me posting anything at all from this fella. I think I'll let you boys simmer. Laters.
