Akers

There’s just one Premier League fixture on this Easter Sunday, as Arsenal visit the Reebok Stadium. With title rivals Manchester United and Chelsea both securing three points yesterday, this of course falls into the ‘must win’ category for the Gunners.

As for Bolton, the 43 points they’ve already accrued this season means that they don’t really have a lot to play for. However, after suffering a major humiliation at Wembley last week, it’s perhaps pride more than anything else that’s at stake for the home side.

The Dugout Discussion chatroom is open, and the team news is in…

Bolton XI: Jaaskelainen, Steinsson, Cahill, Knight, Robinson, Lee, Elmander, Muamba, Taylor, Sturridge, Kevin Davies
Arsenal XI: Szczesny, Sagna, Djourou, Koscielny, Clichy, Song, Wilshere, Walcott, Fabregas, Nasri, van Persie

The Wanderers welcome back in-form striker Daniel Sturridge, who was cup-tied for the Stoke game, and Matty Taylor earns a start in midfield. Jack Wilshere comes back in after being rested in the North London derby, with Abou Diaby making way.

    Indeed. How was the match, i didn't see it? How were RVP and Cesc? Just saw Arsene's interview, same old rubbish, "difficult to swallow, they played a cup match etc... blah blah blah." Still love the man though and want him to stay, just frustrated.

      They were two of the better ones.
      
      There was a rare Chamakh sighting, but the only thing he did of note was clobber Paul Robinson.
      
      Djourou had a shocker, which has been coming since his return form injury. Dunno if he's been rushed back, or just one of the ones more heavily affected by title-run-in-itis. Either way, he did his best Squillaci impression.

      Nasri wasted chances, then they scored at the end, when it really didn't matter anymore, ala NZogbia last year. Rvp was really up for it, Cesc played OK, again we looked more dangerous when Arshavin came on

    Where are we going wrong though!? It's baffling. RVP is scoring goals. Our defence, up until the last few games has been pretty solid. I honestly don't know who we need to sign in the summer. I think the tactics are all wrong at the moment.

      I think it's finally put the 'If Fabs and Rvp had been playing we'd have won' argument to bed. Injuries aren't to blame for Arsenal's lack of success in the last 6 years, Wenger's purchases and tactical naivety are imo.

        Some and some. Wenger buys talent very well, but doesn't seem to be able to pick up hardened leaders/winners.
        
        People have began to criticise Arsenal's style and attacking recently, which is silly. we've played like this for years, it isn't like suddenly we get to March/April and team remember how to park the bus. it's confidence.
        
        Arsenal's title challenege last year was badly dented by injuries, this season it's just been a lack of belief.
        
        We've also been on the end of some horrible reffing recently. that's not to say it's cost us the league, but has seriously dented it. At least that penalty today didn't cost us.

        I disagree, we've had some horrendous decisions go against us since December -
        
        - Rooney penalty at OT
        - N'Zogbia dive for penalty against Wigan
        - handball by McArthur at Wigan
        - Lee Bowyer committing several red card offenses at Brum (retrospective action taken)
        - Louis Saha's offside goal for Everton
        - two dodgy pens at Newcastle
        - Arshavin's late disallowed goal vs Sunderland
        - Kuyt's dodgy penalty in the 270th min
        - RvP's disallowed goal against Sp*rs
        - Sturridge dive today
        
        granted, we probably would have thrown it away anyway, but we've been on the receiving end badly in the last few months. the only decision I can think of that has gone our way was the one in the CC final, and that hardly matters anyway.

        Absolutely.
        
        Some thoughts:
        
        1. Despite proclamations of 'bulding a team' and investing in a solid and young foundations, you are incredibly threadbare as a squad in so many areas.
        
        The goalkeeping situation is a case in point: Yes, Ches is a good keeper, but his abilities were stumbled into after the failure and injury of your other keepers. There was nothing proactive like Wenger going into the transfer market and saying 'I need a top, top class keeper' which is what SAF and Utd will do this Summer. Instead, Arsenal stumbled upon Ches who has done a job for them. Doubt he's the world beater needed though.
        
        2. Similarly, you main striker is made of glass and doesn't play enough games. When he is he's immense. When he's not, who is world class in support? Chamakh?
        
        3. Get your head around Fabregas and either get rid or otherwise stop pandering to him.

        You're being very harsh on Chesney. he's one of the most talented goalkeepers in the league.
        
        Chamakh proved he's very able cover when RvP is missing for a length of time. he's just no impact sub.

        Read what I said again.
        
        Its not about Chesney's ability, it is about the manner in which Arsenal stumbled into that ability.
        
        He could be top class, but if in doubt, and if you had the money, why would you put something like that to chance?

        one thing wenger deserves credit for is song and szczesny. he stuck to his guns and didn't give in to the pressure to buy a holding mid and a goalkeeper. if he did he would have stunted the development of these 2 players which looking at them now would have been criminal.
        his side is still looking down on man city and tottenham. both of whom have spent billions more and got no further.

        I was looking at transfer history a while ago, Wenger has spent off the top of my head 250 million in charge of Arsenal, while Redknapp has spent 205 million.
        
        http://www.transferleague.co.uk/ Those figures are rough and could be a little off.

        Song has been dreadful for about three months though now. Not entirely sure why Wenger has asked him to get further forward this season, he was much better last year playing a much more defensive role.

        Exactly. I've thought about this and i think it's because Song commits a lot of clumsy fouls. And with our record of defending set pieces, i think Wenger would prefer the fouls to be committed higher up the pitch.

        He hasn't asked him to get forward. I've seen interviews after games where Wenger has laughed off and grimaced about Song's galavanting into the box.
        Although he's scored afew important goals, I wouldn't let him pass the halfway line. West Brom at home is the best example of us basically having no midfield cover.

        an easy excuse but injuries and constantly rushing back for games like barcelona hasn't helped song. with diaby injured a lot and wenger's apparent loss of trust in denilson i'd hazard a guess that song has played quite a bit when ideally he'd still be recovering

        As much of a cliche as it is, I really think it's just a psychological barrier. IMO had they beaten Brum in the CC then they would at least be fighting hard for the league title, as their players would now know what it means to win a trophy and that would spur them on and revitalise their self-belief.

        We have been lucky with Hart. But note: he started the season ahead of Given, so it was a premeditated, logical decision that raised a few eyebrows at first.

        And they've learnt their lesson based on what went wrong as a result. Fergie admitted that not bringing in VDS earlier was one of his great mistakes in football.
        
        6 years sans trophy suggests Wenger has learnt very little.
        
        P.S. I'm bookmarking this for when Ches drops the inevitable clanger at the Emirates next week followed by a 3m offer from Juventus for him being accepted by Wenger who decides that Abou Diaby is more than suited to life between the sticks.... 😉

        I think Wenger blooded him sooner than he wanted to, but ultimately saw him as the future.
        
        Wenger tried to get Schwarzer last summer, but failed (and can probably take blame for that). That move was obviously for no more than to hold the place until Chesney was ready.
        
        I think you're also wrong about united or Chelsea taking that risk - United bring young players through all the time, they just have loads of winners to educate them and help them through.
        Arsenal don't have that because the invincibles didn't have the longevity that the likes of Scholes and Giggs do, so didn't have the chance to pass that winning mentality on.

    Gutted we sold Eduardo. I know he wasn't producing but there were signs he was returning to his best. He is a bit like Hernandez, which is what we've needed at times.

      yeah, he was probably better than Hernandez will ever be, around January time 2008, as he could control,pass the ball aswell as finish.
      Just wasn't the same player after Brum, worst day of my footballing career...and i hadnt even played fantasy football at that stage!

  they should have bought kompany 3 years ago. he'll cost an extra 15 million today. holding midfield cover, arsenal athleticism and technical ability and beastly old fashioned english centre back rolled into one.

        it's also a nasty way of criticising a player's lack of composure.
        
        he's not a great crosser, but then he's not really a winger. He's a forward who plays in a wide role. His whole career he's been trained to run at goal, not at the by-line.
        
        Having said that, working on his crossing couldn't harm.

      Depends what sort of books you like I suppose. All have good points. Gibbon is pretty hardcore, Goldsworthy pretty readable and Man gives a decent overview of the chap himself.

  man utd to play barcelona in the final and the wembley pitch is such a shambles yet again that barcelona aren't able to play their game and destroy man utd like 2 years ago, instead man utd hold them and hernandez goes on to score a late winner. man utd having beaten arguably the best team ever are hailed as the best team ever and questions are raised whether hernandez is actually better than messi. we know rooney is but is hernandez as well? the man utd smugness reaches epidemic levels on here and there is a mass exodus from the ABU population. ferguson retires in the glory to become a whiskey breeder in aberdeen and giggs hangs up his boots too after a glorious finale and buys a cottage in aberystwyth with imogen thomas. scholes retires too and persudes gary neville away from his impending media career to join him on a surprise hip hop career as the duo try and break the west coast hip hop scene in the US.
  meanwhile i get bored, wonder why i bothered with this post in the first place (it was meant to be just a warning about the wembley pitch ruining a huge occasion) and press submit comment

        Obviously all the scout team rank right up there, but they generally don't give out much advice, whereas I've had several great discussions with Andy.
        
        Don't know much about Arfa since I usually only post these days after the egotits have called it a night. It's much friendlier then. No time for AP, JP and that rabble.

  If you look from the Fulham end, you'll see the defender getting if front of Zamora and heading the ball straight to Johnson. Same with the close up. Only the side on real time angle gives the impression that he touched the ball.

    yeh when it was mentioned in here a few days ago i thought it was touch and go... it did look like he did get the faintest of touches though... its a farce if you ask me.. the guys who award the points prob took it off him bc their mini league opponents had him in their team.. same shit for how fat frank got the 3bps against west ham.. did absolute sweet fark all the whole game, touched the ball 5 times in the first half before he scored his goal and still gets it... malouda tore west ham in half and gets 2... its RIGGED!

      Have a look at the shooting stats from the CHS game though. No one's making more goal attempts than Malouda at present and Lampard is also well to the fore.
      
      Re Zamora: I have cap'n'd him in two other games but for the integrity of the game, it is important that FPL get it right.

Fck you fpl
lifting the zamora assist is a fcking joke
with all the ridiculous assists I've seen this year like the Tevez assist for a ballotelli goal when he passed it to him from 3 ft away for ballo to turn and beat 3 defenders before rifling in a cannonball
how the fck so they have the nerve to REMOVE points?
I'm convinced those fckers are taking care of their own fantasy squads
obviously somebody had meireles instead of zamora this week

      I didn't see it but the BBC called it a lay off from zamora and if he intended to do it and everybody obviously thought he had, then that's more of an assist than simply being the last person to touch the ball before the scorer does their thing
      Removing points is also pretty fcking aggravating

The Killer Inside Me-anyone seen it yet? Casey Affleck-most disturbing killer since Anton Chirgur. The level of violence in this film is highly disturbing particularly as it's directed at women. However, the violence isn't glorified, it's very real.
