Bolton 0-0 Arsenal

On a bit of a roll at the moment and the Arsenal fans are demanding Arsene's head - so are we going to roll over for them - or will we going to make Wenger sweat even more?

Will we try to rough them up like in the good old days or play them at their own, tappy, tappy game?

Will Bogdan keep his place?

What do you think?

I have a bad feeling about this game, when Arsenal are on a bad run they normally come back and murder a team about 5-0. I have a feeling we are going to be that team.

If we can get in there faces early doors then we may sneak something.

Head says 4-0 arsenal, heart says 3-2 bolton.

Boggy has earned the right to keep goal. Joe Riley should stay at right back. Put Muamba in for Pratley and stay 4-5-1 with Ngog up front. That Mertesacker is good in the air but he has the turning circle of the Titanic. If we stick with 4-5-1 we should give them a game.

I have a couple of Gooner mates and we are meeting up before the game. They are genuinely concerned about Arsenals defence. To be honest, I would happily settle for a point.

We should keep the team that started against Liverpool but it's crucial that they aren't complacent.

The Liverpool match was not compensation for the many shit spineless performances we've seen at the Reebok this term. There's still a long way to go for them to redeem themselves.

If we go with the same team and formation as we did against Liverpool I believe we can get something out of this game. I particularly hope Mertesacker has a terrible game as he is not as good as Cahill and Wenger needs his nose rubbed in it.

One thing I worry about is the occasional tendency of Arsenal players to make wild lunges and risk breaking the legs of our players. Not that Arsene ever sees it of course.

I doubt OC will throw in Ream or Mears (or any of the new signings we are going to make before the window closing ) but if we play with the same creativity and commitment as we did against Liverpool we could get something out of this game - which would be a bonus IMO.

Ream has apparently gone back to the USA to tie up some loose ends.

Shoe laces again?

He's probably having his delayed wedding night.

BTW Biggie, as fond as I am of the number, how come my two previous posts both say Posts:69?

You're going to have to move me on before I get a bad neck.

I'm having a bad day - please ignore my hangover-fuelled stupidity.

Wander, never noticed the difference mate

Love you.

Anyhoo here we are on match day again and I can't wait to see if we show the nuts we showed against the Scousers or the weakness we showed against the likes of Norwich. Which Wanderers will turn up tonight?

Today's score will be something nobody expects.

3-4 or 0-0 or 5-7.

Think I may put a bet on.

I was expecting a 3 - 3, with our third an o.g. by mertsacker (or whatever his name is)

Good display. Made it very difficult for an Arsenal team with a lot of pace to create chances.

I couldn't understand Coyle's substitutions at all, mind.

Cracking game, for a 0-0, they could have been 2 or 3 by half time.

Thought we matched them second half, with some excellent football, played by us...happy with a point.

I was quite pleaswd with what I saw from Tuncay at the finish. Did BKD concuss Mertsucker at the finish?

Not sure, but one or two fans on other boards are getting carried away with his last 15 minute impact. Hopefully Coyle won't.

I must admit that the change didn't do as much damage as I thought it would. N'Gog was looking isolated towards the end and it made sense to make a change, but not to take him off for an even less mobile forward. Luckily Davies did alright.
