Arsenal Vs Bournemouth

That's Chambers and Ramsey booked

Arsene has to send Flamini on now

Lovely move by Ozil, started and finished that

How Greedy is Theo, he had Giroud and Ramsey there

Theo is frustrated, he's not doing too good atm. Gabriel deserves more game time, he has been great sofar.

When Ox plays, you get the feeling that he isn't in the same wavelength with the others. The amount of brain farts is damn too much

Not sure who to laugh at Boruc or Theo

He's growing to the game when Bou has to push. 1st hald though was quite bad, kept stepping on others space. Bellerin needed help, crowded our middle, Ramsey needed cover, time to hug sideline.

The amount of chances Ozil has created yet we only have two goals

In the end, Bou just doesnt have enough quality to cause any real trouble. We're still below par but a win is a win.

Obi wan Iwobi

Ozil should have at least 5 assist today.

+1 finishing has been off today, could have got more

We improved as the game went on when I expected us to drop off even more. Before the goal we were very average, not playing any penetrating passes, forcing Ozil to come deep, and looking jaded. Once we got the goals though the confidence returned, Bournemouth pushed more and left more space in defence and we really should have put away a couple more. Walcott guilty of some poor finishing, Giroud missed a good chance too.

At that point though I'm not overly fussed about performances so long as we're putting the points on the board. I was happy with the performances of the players who came in tonight. Now need another big effort against Newcastle on Saturday and then we can think about resting a couple against Sunderland in the FA Cup after that.

Ozil was fantastic yet again. I dread an injury to him.

Top of the league ahead of the Leicester/City game tomorrow - should be a few points clear really but oh well. Here's hoping for a draw in tomorrow's game.

Can't wait to get anal raped by Ozil on New Years.

Well there's the customery two Giroud goals against Newcastle, so yeah Ozil will most likely be behind those.

11 points out of 27 away games if we are lucky.


Only difficult home games are against Chelsea and maybe Southampton/Everton.

26/30 points.

If we get 31 more points in total in teh remaining games we'll be at 76 points (:

which should be enough for 4th (:

That could be enough to win the title this season

Honestly that's just bad away predictions. I think the Southampton game is playing too much on your mind, we're usually a good away side.

Very good to see we've improved against the top half teams, but then not so good to see that we've gotten worse against the bottom half.

Nah it's based on previous seasons.

We are never winning away to Liverpool. Klopp will outrun us himself.

Stoke is a confirmed defeat. we probably have like 1 win in 10 attempts there

Spurs away has become quite difficult in the PL.

City away is the 2nd last game so it depends

Think we draw against Pool. Get a win against Man United, draw Spurs and maybe beat Everton (think they'll drop off sometime later in the season)

I did those stats but honestly when you see that Everton, Southampton and Chelsea are currently in the bottom half it skews things slightly

In a normal season those teams are in the top 10 right now. But I suppose it's also interesting that we've travelled to Leicester, Palace and Watford - the three surprise teams this season - and have won each time, scoring 10 goals in the process.

As far as the away games go, Liverpool, Stoke, Spurs and Everton are going to be horrible just because of how these teams play now. Hard running, pressing, physical presence... generally what we've struggled against.

Thoughts on Chambers in CM?

Well he did okay tonight didn't he.
Maybe give him a run from this point onward and see how it goes imo

what a player

At least half of them are random hoofs imo.
