Arsenal v Bolton Wanderers, 11/09/10, ATVO, 3PM GMT

[IBL]

We should realistically win regardless of what team we're able to field after the internationals. As Albakos said Bolton are a little more sedate under Coyle and try to play a bit of footy. Not a team to be taken lightly but in our current form you'd expect us to get the three points.

Even if RvP is fit enough to kick a block of cement around the place, we should pull him out. Chelsea have pulled Terry out of the England squad even though he played the full 90 minutes.

Bizarrely this International break could actually benefit us quite a bit if it gives game time to the likes of Eboue, Cesc, Vela and anyone who hasn't played much so far this season.

 

[Biggus]

I hate international football

Seconded. Still, Van Persie now has a chance to recover for this game and misses Holland's games, eat that Dutch FA 8)) Reckon this will be fairly comfortable, 3-0 Gooners.

Thirded, this always happens when we start to string a few wins together, they've had their world cup thingy why don't they piss off and leave us alone now......

 

[Y va marquer]

RVP got injured before the International break for a change – at least we don’t have to hand him over to the Dutch medics now.

 

[redwhiteAustrian]

Knowing that Robben may be injured for the rest of 2009 after Holland played him being injured in the WC, I'm happy that Robin isn't able to play for them next week.

 

[Rorz]

Plenty of goals and a clean sheet for our new goalkeeper in this one please!

 

[USArsenal]

i doubt he'll be back for this game, even if he misses the int'l games for Holland.. Wenger said the first reaction was 10 days, but even if he doesnt appear worse after his scans, it will still be 2 weeks..

we might see him back for Braga at the earliest IMO

 

[Herbert Chapman]

Not to mention that pointless friendly after the world cup thingy but before the euro thingy.

No injurys please.

 

[Bossa]

Bolton arent the Bolton of last years they actually try and play football under Coyle. Thats why I think that we will rape them.

 

[Gooner_Stu]

Jussi Jaaskelainen sent off today, so he's probably out of this match. Cant see how Bolton can challenge the sending off, given Jussi slapped Roger Johnsons face. He's a good keeper, which is a good thing for us if he misses the match.

 

[Armor for Sleep]

Not entirely. If I remember correctly, they weren't shy with their tackles last season, infact they were plain dirty at times.

We'll still batter them though regardless.

We played them twice in a week or so last year and they tried to kick lumps out of us both times.

 

[Freagle]

Jussi Jaaskelainen is banned for this match.

Those games have been what, one week, after he took over from Megson?
Not enough time to change the style, so it was no wonder why they played as always against us.

It has changed a bit since then, and I don't expect them to kick us that much anymore.

 

[qs]

They still have mostly the same personnel, they will kick us.

 

[redwhiteAustrian]

Same personal but different approach may not lead to their usual kicking, I assume.

However, I'm confident that we'll deal with whatever they're planing to do.

It's very annoying, there is something like three international breaks before Christmas or something which is absurd. BAN INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL!

 

[albakos]

I hope Wilshere scores.
They will realize even more of what they're missing from last season.

 

[USArsenal]

lets all refrain from posting formation or starting lineups until after the international break..

Sorry i couldn't help it
