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!!

Bittersweet that a year after his 97th minute winner in this same fixture, Reiss Nelson is probably not even going to be in the squad at all!

That said, we just have to keep doing what we've been doing.

 

[Sniper Mik]

Probably the trickiest fixture of the three. Their manager has done an outstanding job this season.

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

They've been doing great, but we have to win and get that four point gap back open before City play Wolves. Same eleven please!

 

[BaZZe]

Won't be surprised if we see Timber on the bench for this one.

 

[TheEliteMaster100_]

Need to be scoring 3+ goals as City will claw their G/D back up with games such as West Ham (on the beach), Wolves (injury ravaged) at the Etihad and Fulham away (on the beach).

 

[Gooner Zig]

Please Arsenal I beg, no more drama - give me a comfortable 3-0 home victory

 

[GoonerJeeves]

3-1-2 in the last six games. They're in decent form, but we ought to win this.

 

[boonthegoon]

They're not the same team we faced in the return leg. Have to be wary of them. Could turn out like Villa. The manager has done a great job.

 

[DJ_Markstar]

Must win of course

 

[HighburyHigh]

3-0
Then Cheaty draw 1-1 with Wolves.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

I've been really impressed with what I've seen of Bournemouth the past few months.

I expect us to win but I don't think it will be a battering.

Arsenal 2 Bournemouth 0

 

[King87]

Do wolves stand a chance against city? Not sure why they can't just draw a game ffs

 

[Sanchez11]

Need to be patient and do our job, we cant fvck this up.

 

[Mrs Bergkamp]

Bournemouth are pretty physical with some pace and aerial threat here and there, so we mustn't be complacent. Impose our game and take an early and commanding lead preferably. Whatever we do, just win

 

[Paperino]

Need to be patient and do our job, we cant fvck this up.

This will be easy, mate. You can quote this.

 

[Sanchez11]

This will be easy, mate. You can quote this.

Plz dont mate

 

[Gooner Zig]

Do wolves stand a chance against city? Not sure why they can't just draw a game ffs

If Wolves had all their big bois then they could have some luck but they're kinda ravaged by injury right now.

 

[freeglennhelder2]

One slip, one-off day, one opposition wonder goal and its good night.

3 points will do, any means necessary. Playing well or increasing GD would be a welcome bonus but is a distant second in priority. Prefer away games tbh.

 

[Gunners1616]

Too many people are focusing on City's run-in but the next 3 games for us are not guaranteed whatsoever.

Hope the staff and the players remain focused on Bournemouth.

Same lineup, no messing around.
