Win PL: Bournemouth 0-3 Arsenal | Saturday 20th August 2022 | KO 17:30 BST | SKY SPORTS

Not sure how serious Ben White’s knock is but if he’s out then just bring in Tomiyasu. Otherwise the first eleven will be unchanged, hopefully Fabio Vieira will be on the bench for this one.

I reckon this will be harder than everyone is expecting it to be. They’re playing at home, live on Sky and looking to bounce back after being bullied by Man City. I’m sure Gary Neville and the Sky gang are patiently waiting for this one but do teams really stand a chance when we’ve got Jesus conquering stadiums???



And Edu finally paying off the refs:



Bournemouth 1-3 Arsenal

Legoooooooo

 

[OnlyOne]

Yeah, it was 1-1 at HT. Laca scored 4 minutes after the break then we never looked back.

Disagree.

City>>>>Bournemouth
Arsenal>>>Bournemouth

City have nothing to do with us though?
I better get 30 phone numbers on a night out because Harry Styles got 40

How can you say that? We’re clearly locked in a title challenge with them

This is some straight up weird analogy Firstly, if you're hanging out with Harry Styles you'd definitely get some action, unless you literally had 0 game. Secondly, Harry Styles doesn't need to ask for anyone's phone number, he walks around any major city in the US, UK and Europe and clunge is literally lining up for him.

This is some of the weirdest **** I read since @Trilly told me he had a crush on Susan Boyle, tbh.

Lol that’s the point Einstein. It’s as weird as saying we’ll beat Bournemouth 3-0 because City beat them 4-0.

Well done Heaviside, you've told me what the point is while missing it. Unless you're trying to say you're the guy with 0 game

 

[TriniGunner]

Need to win the first 5 matches while everyone else is getting sorted. Completely attainable.

I honestly think we can win our first 8 games if we take the lessons learnt from last season. For example, our Champions League run wasn't hindered by the losses to Sp**s and Newcastle, it was the Brighton and Sunderland games...AT HOME! We cannot take games lightly and expect other teams to take us seriously. When Rafa said that the psychological effect of playing Man Utd (during the Fergie era) was a huge part of their success, he was 100% right. When you're scheduled to play a team that's better than you, you 'expect' to lose, it's just that simple. We need to keep winning, scoring goals and develop a psychological advantage to other teams.

 

[razörist]

Gives me Fulham (A) vibes in Emery’s season. Absolutely battering them 3/4-0 at halftime but Bornmouth fans staying till the 90th because they’ve never seen liquid football like it.

It was 1-1 at half time in that game.

This word is up there with "gash" as one of the worst words to describe women. Haven't heard it in ages. Bruh.

Don't worry bro I got you. If I choose to use words like gash, clunge, muff, minge or beaver in future I'll make sure to tag you so you don't miss out.

Its great to see that the fans truly believe we can go on huge winning runs now. Myself included btw, its just wonderful to see a positive Arsenal fanbase on the whole.

This is more important than the Palace game IMO. The Leicester game didn’t tell us much on whether we’re better this year.
For years we’ve been a club that performs in cycles. Hit rock bottom in form, get slated by everyone, then go on a run, get praised, then hit crap form again. This team needs to show it can perform when they are getting praise. No taking the foot off the gas.
Bournemouth away is the kind of banana skin we’ve happily slipped on in recent years.
Good performance and win required.

Exhibit A of trademark lowering the bar from the Arteta fandom making Bournemouth in August a cup final somehow.

Best of luck anyways bro.

 

[Macho]

I thought Palace would not make or break, but definitely set the tone for the start of the season they are the trickiest out of the first 5 easily.

 

[A_G]

Any potential records to be broken??

 

[ThePortugueseGunner]

Although I don't think we can maintain a pace that allows us to fight for the title with, let's say, Manchester City, I have a very "one match at a time" way to approach football.

We are one of 2 teams with 6 points, and we play before City, facing a recently promoted side. It's a great chance to make it 3 wins out of 3 matches and put the "pressure" on their side (they have a harder opponent than us).

Absolutely must-win game, and I'm confident we can keep the momentum going.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

We need to get a bit of the 'Flat track bully' mentality into us tbh.

Too many of these sorts of games last season we dropped points or just sneaked over the line by a single goal margin.

Would like to see us really turn it on against Bournemouth and put the game to bed by HT.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Full squad available for tomorrow Arteta confirm. Hopefully it's stay that way even tho with Arsenal its near impossible

 

[freeglennhelder2]

Don’t think Ode, Saka or Partey have been anywhere near their best but absolute madness to tinker with the starting eleven surely?

Yeah agreed, I personally think you never want to change a winning team at the start of a season, if you start to run into problems with fitness, fatigue or results then you start to maybe tinker.
