So Zaha still hasn't left for AFCON yet but Bailly couldn't play one more game yesterday? I really hate the Cote d'Ivoire FA or whatever the feck they're called.
I just asked my mate the exact same question. Twats.

Worrying thing is what this will do for Arsenal's belief and confidence. They've been bombarded for a decade about how soft they are, perennial bottlers and pussies, and now they come from 3-0 down to 3-3. This will be a great reference point for them and when they're in similar situations later this season it'll help them mentally.

Truly embarrassing from Bournemouth. Don't care if they'd have taken a draw before the game.

One point out of three. Sorry Arsenal but you still dropped a bollock there despite the great comeback.

2 points dropped, I'll take that. Arsenal can celebrate the point, but it brings us closer to them and they're further away from Chelsea. It's a bad result for them, however you put it.

They drew a game they should have won and are pretty much out of the title race. They'll be having a right meltdown
My hope now is that Ty pisses off Claude with his optimism. That will get him going.

I can't get over Giroud's celebration. He genuinely prioritised a rehearsed scorpion kick celebration over trying to win the game. It says a lot about his mentality.

Dreadful performance.

A part of me wants us to finish 5th so Wenger leaves. Sideways passing, dross defending. Title is gone, if ever we were in it.

What a match (Bournemouth vs. Arse). Obviously I would have preferred l'Arse to lose, but I'm glad I tuned in for that.

Arsenal have salvaged 8 points in last 10 minutes of PL now, that's a great trait to have but sometimes they start the game so badly. 2 points dropped still and we're right on their heels, thankfully for them they have a favorable run of fixtures in Premier League to pull away.

Good to see the smaller teams fighting until the end to try and salvage a point against teams as might as Bournemouth.
Lol.

A draw or a loss not much difference really, only a game in it now between us and Arsenal

They'll have the selfies on the go in the dressing room after.

Ignoring that they will be even further off the pace if Chelsea win tomorrow.

No, it won't :lol: They pissed away two points tonight, no matter how you look at it. A top 4 team/title candidate GOT to beat the likes of Bournemouth away

Considering we were 9 points off 4th a month ago, only being 3 points behind Arsenal in new year is pretty good. I'd have snap your arm off for that earlier in the season.
We are only 2 points behind now.

The way I see it, Arsenal have now dropped 2 points and Sanchez played 90 mins - I haven't followed all their games recently but fatigue's gotta catch up with him pretty soon. :)
