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!!

Their game plan was to get a draw. If they push up, they're dead.

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

I love you Bukayo. Wonderful pen.

 

[boonthegoon]

Whew B took a while to take the kick. Got west ham flashbacks.

 

[NieThePiet]

No West Ham Saka moment!

 

[HomeSteak]

If it was the other way I'd be raging, but we take those all day long

if that is against us, they give the keeper a red, and don't even check. **** them all

 

[perth gooner]

Not a penalty but I will take it, thanks Star Boy!

Justice for Ryan Christie not being sent off earlier.

It's fitting for Saka to score.

 

[2Smokeyy]

Why are our fans complaining?

Jota got exactly the same thing.

 

[El Duderino]

What is the point of VAR lol that was never a pen but I’ll take it

That leg

Did VAR think he was still a Chelsea player or something?

 

[Batman]

So many people on this forum is full of ****. How does anyone think that is not a pen?

They're weirdos. The keeper goes into the challenge and Havertz just keeps his leg on the ground to get the contact. The keeper doesn't make contact if he doesn't go into the tackle. Moaning about Havertz being clever is stupid. It's a well won pen.

 

[Synical]

'Saka has had a phenomenal season' the commentator just said.

But AM keeps telling me Saka is not playing well and needs to up his game

 

[celestis]

No West Ham Saka moment!

I actually forgot he missed a penalty .

 

[samshere]

He could have just shot into the open net. Needs to cut out the diving, does Kai.

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Now let's concentrate no errors

 

[Iwobeast]

Feels good to have a striker running in behind

It's a soft pen. One you wouldn't be able to complain about if it's not given, but can't complain if it's given, either. There is contact but it's not too harsh and it doesn't happen instantly but after Havertz continues the movement.

Tbh he starts falling over before the very slight contact.

Just waiting for the “ooOoohH but there was contact how can you say it’s not a foul” brigade

 

[Gooner Zig]

Getting that goal before HT was huge

 

[lamby22]

Feels like there should be more than 4 mins added. The Saka injury and the penalty seemed to last forever

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Savvy from Havertz there
