Will the Arteta bounce kick in? Hope so.

Future Ingerland manager "Nice Guy" Eddie has them sitting only 4 points above the drop zone. Of course that is also only 4 points behind us..... :oops:

With Man U and Newcastle playing each other there's a real chance we could rise up to ninth place with a win......

Meaningless games? Never. Be still my beating heart

Ooh. I'm moist. :shock:

It's times like these I'm so happy that the board and Wenger dragged us ungrateful bastards out of that Highbury dump. 8)

If Arsene is able to work his magic on UEFA you never know mate, you just never know

The 9th place trophy and two legs against Olympiakos to look forward to.......I've gone all weak at the knees again

If he does eventually get the Engurrland job, it will no doubt be via us.

Does anyone know anyone (cough cough clum :wink: ) who might be able to post links for the game tomorrow ? Have to be honest and say that seeing these next few games live matters to me cos I want to see for myself what direction arteta is gonna take us - restore ozil alongside xhaka in our starting team and it will be very much a "nothing has changed" scenario, but if he backs up his ruthless talk with actions and shows no fear of reputations or who is captain, then I will stick with him and hope that this will be a new Arsenal.

For the last few years Bournemouth away has always scared me cos (like goodison) it is a small pitch, and teams have to be prepared to stand up and fight in games like this, and our snowflakes are usually found wanting then. I suspect we will see a line-up close to the everton game (chambers is suspended), I suspect that it will be a similar gameplan with a safety first approach - hopefully we will see auba dropped and laca in, and maybe if we score first it will allow us to play smart intelligent football like the everton game, but also with a bit more confidence going forward

Must be honest not expecting much I think if we get a point it will be a result. Let's hope it doesn't end in tears, I will post a link to the game when available if anybody is interested.?
