Arsenal v Bolton

My god, Farrelly's playing !

My God, he scored Ronaldinhio stylee!!

But what a crappy way to lose :(

Campo, why? why? why? Booked twice for silly things!

I have a feeling that if we don't beat Southampton next week the fans are going to start getting on the teams backs.

Looks like we were decimated by injuries too.

3 points from the top 3 teams is good but we should have had more, I'm not being greedy but we've already dropped points against teams we should have beat (Charlton!).

Saw your game on FSW today in Seattle. It was a tough game to lose. It’s not easy for 10 men to play 12…!!!
That ref took 2 points off your boys today (He’s not a Londoner is he?) Henry was all over a defenders back, when he put the ball back to Kanu. Unlucky last week and you deserved better today…!!!

Thanks, I'd heard we'd been hard done by (apparently the ref failed to give at least 1 blatant penalty in Bolton's favour). Still we took 3 points fromn 3 games involving the 3 top sides so there's no shame inthat.

I too am worried about the number of injuries and players who are not 'match fit'. It may sound old-fashioned but why can they not prepare properly for games? I, like many others, was looking forward to seeing Jay-Jay this season but what has he done since the World Cup. He seems so desperately off the pace because of this 'match-fitness' thing.
Come to think of it, there has hardly been a bright new dawn fron our new buys/loans.
Mendy is'nt there, Jay-Jay might as well not be as yet, Stig has one eye on a court case and Delroy Facey seems to have been told to go to bed for 6 weeks. Let us just hope that the usual faces don't let us down.

Agreed

I can't believe we've been decimated by injuries. We're playing players who would not even be first choice in the first division.

I've got this nightmare where we play Holdsowrth and Farrelly against Southampton with predictable results. Sam needs to realise that these two are not up to the Premiership and even an 80% fit Okocha is better than the both of them. The sad thing is Farrelly and Holdsworth are likley to start against Southampton :(

I'm worried that we'll continue to play the dregs of our squad for the next few weeks and take just a couple of points. There's no getting away from the fact that in the next six games we need a minimum of 12 points, it could be vital come the end of the season:

Southampton (H)
Boro (A)
Spurs (A)
Sunderland (H)
Brum (A)
West Brom (H)

I have a feeling that in true Bolton fashion we're going to lose games we should win and draw games we should lose (like Spurs)
