This looks a decent game to start the week off.
Bournemouth are one of the 3 big clubs on the South Coast, along with Brighton & Southampton, but are in real trouble this season in the Premier League.
Arsenal meanwhile have problems of their own, & whilst Arteta seems to have got them revved up, wins are still hard to come by, although they put up a fabulous effort against Chelsea the other night despite only playing with 10 men for much of the game.
Should be a great atmosphere & hopefully, a good game to get us started this week.

Here's the ever youthful looking Eddie Howe eyeing the FA Cup. Look don't touch Eddie, best to concentrate on Premier League survival.

According to the Media, Eddie Howe was in the frame for the Arsenal gig, but it was always going to Arteta.
Footballers amuse me. David Luiz had no choice but to chop down the Chelsea forward last week to save conceding a goal, & did so convincingly. Standard stuff, & an auto-red card. Quite how he could argue is a mystery, but look at his face.
What, me ref - you gotta be kidding me?
Arms outstretched, palms face up, look of astonishment on face, another standard football cliche.
Arsenal and 3 goals please.
Thank you.
PS-there are 4 big teams on the South Coast.
You forgot the naval one...Plymouth
