Match Reaction Bournemouth 0-2 Arsenal

[WMUG]

This post needs framing!

Love the Analogy.

Apart from the bit at the end where I think he's saying he's going to start his own football club

Not 1 of them chose Arsenal.

Not difficult to fathom why:. When the going gets tough, the Gunners go missing.

It's a damning indictment of how many people view Arsenal. Even when I go on rival fans forums many fans believe we are more likely to collapse than Leicester or The Spuds!

Let's just hope the boys prove us wrong.

The title isn't decided by public vote

Bookies have us favourites though, at least they did the other day after the gypos lost. Journalists tend to be almost perfectly ignorant of everything ever, but bookies have cash riding on it. I'd listen to them first and sadly, it's the most encouraging sign I have seen related to our title "charge". What do they know that is invisible?

It's not decided by Arsenal either, tbf. We have to hope all the other collapses are worse than our own, then maybe we'll collapse to glory.

Of course not, a lot of the predictions are based on current/recent form, in Arsenal's case it's a mixture of current form and recent history. To be fair to Leicester they've been turning it on all season, they are very consistent and have yet to really wobble.

If Leicester do have a wobble then I can see one of the chasing pack taking the initiative, I've watched a fair bit of Leicester this season and whilst they are consistent they are by no means unbeatable.

Good quote from that Guardian article: "Because Arsenal could win it but Arsène Wenger is a slave to philosophy who, deep down, possibly suspects it is better to travel than actually arrive."

Gravy trains are better in transit too. The fun stops if they arrive.

I think you're being far too generous. It seems to be that a lot of people's opinion changes every other weekend when it comes to the favourites for the title. Personally I think Leicester or Spurs are favourites. They have been the most consistent and best teams in the league this season.

I can't make up my mind either Kano TBH, a few weeks back I thought City, now I'm favouring Leicester or the Spuds, that could change though, I've not completely given up hope on Arsenal but we're going to need to win on Sunday to have any kind of chance IMO.

Did they not create a whole host of chances and miss them however? Whether we finished well or not it doesn't change the fact that they playe us off the park for a large part of the match, even when we beat them.

I was behind the Barca goal in the second half. A great place to be because we were fucking battering them.
