Don`t worry Arsenal fans, Bolton next...

and whenever a team are in crisis Bolton always gives them a kick-start and an easy win.

hmm

The Arsenal situation is bad - but maybe not as bad as people make out

Even in the fiasco at Old Trafford we scored twice and could have had another 2 or 3 more. Scored 3 away at Blackburn. Neither of those stats are too shabby. Once we stop shipping goals for fun then things won't be so bad

Despite the embarrasment of Old Trafford I thought the home defeat to Liverpool was the worst result so far.

Played well enough against Blackburn, but yes, comical defending is going to continue to blight this season for the Gunners I think.

They needed someone more solid than Mertesacker, someone like Cahill, Jagielka or any other experienced premiership defender. Koscielny continues to perform poorly whenever I see him!

Arsenal defending maybe comical right now but it`s got nothing on the Bolton defence. Two words ZAT KNIGHT

I think things will settle down in the next month - I just hope we aren't too far behind by that time.

If we're still in dire straights by Jan then I expect a lot of (panic) buying and some heavy reinforcements to come in.

Hopefully Vermalean won't suffer anymore injuries and that will help our defence settle. If we have Szczenzy, Sagna, Mertersacker, Vermalaen, Santos, Song, Wiltshire, Ramsey/Arteta, Gervinho, RVP, Walcott/Arshavin then that's a pretty good side with some pretty good tacklers in there.

Well Wenger did say that Arsenal's season started when they played Swansea and that was not easy. A poor Bolton team still will be no pushovers for Arsenal.

how long till wenger gets the sack :p

Bolton drop Zat Knight and hey presto Bolton win.

Quite a while - I imagine he's more likely to retire/move on in 5 years or so

GSimon - when will David Wheater get regular games for Bolton? Thought he was a top defender when he was at Mboro

nice name clunge!

Cahill and Wheater should start all games IMO.

Bolton have won only 3 games in 17, Arsenal not much better. A definate 6 pointer. Who will keep their nerve in this bottom 4 clash?

Not only should they drop Zat i think Jaaskelainen and K Davies have been pretty poor since last season... Arsenal's only great player these days is VanPersie, and i'm struggling to name another.
