Arsenal 1-2 Bournemouth - the fans' verdict
We asked for your views on Arsenal's Premier League match against are some of your comments:Arsenal fansRachel: Same old, same old. Seriously worrying Arsenal performance. Another pathetic display from Martin Odegaard who didn't bother to turn up. It doesn't fill me with optimism for remaining games and looks like we're going to fade away yet Simply pathetic, again. If Arteta had rested the first team, I wouldn't be as mad, but well done Mikel, you've tired your starters, with the most important game of the season just days away. Given we're almost guaranteed to fail to beat PSG, I think we have to focus on qualifying for the Champions League. We'll struggle to finish top five in this Pitiful, clueless, effortless and so on. We played like a tired bunch that have never seen a football match. As I said weeks ago, Arsenal will be lucky to finish in the top four. They deserve the criticism, sad end to the fansBernard: Firstly well done Cherries! We've done the double on Arsenal. We started well and seemed to come to a stop after their goal but kept them at bay until half-time. Great substitutions by the gaffer in the second half. Once we equalised, Arsenal appeared clueless. The second goal was deserved, however contentious it appeared. VAR went our way for a change!Matt: I had a feeling on the way up we could get something at Emirates Stadium, especially if Arsenal rested a few players. Very surprised to see them put out a full-strength side, but that just adds to our satisfaction in finally winning at N5. Superb set-pieces and bringing on fresh legs were key. The European dream is A fortunate win - have to learn how to hold on to winning positions. I keep saying we need a hard defender.

'Same problems every season' - fans on home defeat
We asked for your views on Arsenal's defeat at home against are some of your comments:Martin: Arsenal have the same problems every season. They start the season with the smallest group of top players possible. Then they get a few injuries (not as many as this season) and by the end of the season they have nothing left to give. They lose half a yard and run out of ideas. In the Premier League, other teams can see that and take full advantage. When Arsenal have a full squad, they are one of the best in Europe and teams don't really want to play them. But when they lose two or three players everyone wants to play them. Hopefully, they will strengthen in the summer and don't lose any top Same old, same old. Seriously worrying Arsenal performance. Another pathetic display from Martin Odegaard who didn't bother to turn up. It doesn't fill me with optimism for remaining games and looks like we're going to fade away yet Yet again Arsenal play in this overly regimented style making lots of pretty passes that go across and backwards and is clearly easy to defend against if you're as resolute as Bournemouth were. It's too pedestrian and predictable. Somewhat ironic that Arsenal get undone from set pieces now that their own overly choreographed set plays at corners have been sussed out by the Simply pathetic, again. If Arteta had rested the first team, I wouldn't be as mad, but well done Mikel, you've tired your starters, with the most important game of the season just days away. Given we're almost guaranteed to fail to beat PSG, I think we have to focus on qualifying for the Champions League. We'll struggle to finish top five in this Pitiful, clueless, effortless and so on. We played like a tired bunch that have never seen a football match. As I said weeks ago, Arsenal will be lucky to finish in the top four. They deserve the criticism, sad end to the There is no room for negativity now. We who are proud Arsenal supporters over many years just have to keep on believing that the team will do the best they can. Keep up the fight, all of you, let's win, next week and to the end of the season!

Crystal Palace 0-0 Bournemouth - the fans' verdict
We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Crystal Palace and are some of your comments:Crystal Palace fansRob: After a sluggish first half, we were ironically better with only 10 players in the second. Dug in and defended well while occasionally threatening in attack. The players clearly have the FA Cup semi-final on their minds - a definite drop in intensity in the league A hard-fought point and a clean sheet is a big improvement. It might have been more if it hadn't been for ridiculous refereeing errors, but there wasn't enough ambition up front even in the first half. We need to up our game for the next couple of games or our season will fizzle out all too quickly. VAR needs to look at two yellows. No complaints for the two reds against Brighton but both of the yellows Richards received today were ridiculous and both Alex Scott and Tyler Adams should have had two yellows Not sure how a game like this ended up with so many cards? Not really any bad fouls as such and a very harsh red for Richards. Good point and a much-needed clean fansMerlin: Disappointed that we couldn't snatch a win as they played with 10 men for 45 minutes. However we're still in a Europe position and we will be fighting for that Conference League spot. There is still hope!Patrick: We've lost our mojo. I'd like to see more deep crosses into the box and more shots at goal from outside the box. It's boring and frustrating to watch. Come on lads we're better than An absolute non-event, other than the sending off and flurry of cards. The referee was far too trigger-happy early on. I feel we would have coped better against 11, -t least that would have given us the opportunities to counter that we thrive on. We can bounce back by securing the double over Manchester United.

West Ham 2-2 Bournemouth - the fans' verdict
We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League draw between West Ham and are some of your comments:West Ham fansRobert: There's progress under Potter but the style of play has been similar under three coaches which suggest perhaps we have the wrong mix of players. We certainly need more pace and creativity in the team. Niclas Fullkrug's run of games now should help us score more Graham Potter got his starting XI wrong. In the second half with the introduction of Fullkrug, the game changed in our favour as it gave Lucas Paqueta and Jarrod Bowen more opportunities. Probably a fair result but still a frustrating team to It's disturbing that we need an entire half before we can get into a game. It's nothing new as it happened under David Moyes and Julen Lopetegui as well, but Graham Potter has to get his side on it from the start. Bournemouth were quicker and better from the start. This must fansStu: Lacking the energy and drive we had at the start of the season. Too many misplaced passes and missing that sparkle. A draw away isn't all that bad but a month or so ago we'd be winning games like this. I think European football is a step too far this season but plenty to build on for Fell asleep for a spell in the second half which gave West Ham the impetus. Fortunately we squared things, which set up a fun final 10 minutes where tactics and formula football went out the window for both Fine margins. Clearly the better side on the day, but only one stat counts. It will either click for the Cherries soon, or we look to regroup and strengthen for 2025-26.

Is this Bournemouth's best chance to win the FA Cup?
We asked for your views on what's the one thing no-one is talking about at are some of your comments:Mark: The fact that, given this season's league results and our current form, we could make a strong argument for being third favourites to win the FA Cup!Ken: It's got to be the FA Cup. There has never been a better chance. If Andoni Iraola takes it seriously, it can It has been a really good season to date. They are doing exactly what I have been saying for a couple of seasons now, upping their all-round fitness levels so they can press and retreat without getting too tired and not playing Philip Billing regularly who was the weak link. Even selling Dom Solanke hasn't changed the resolve Iraola has instilled into the squad. If they get into Europe, they will need to strengthen the squad as playing midweek abroad and league matches at the weekend will take its toll. Hopefully, they can keep players and add A great time for us supporters as the players are doing us proud. However, what is not talked about is the great work being done by the backroom staff and scouts who continue to find little gems and bring them to the academy, thus assuring a healthy future - not just immediate but also for the long The success of the women's team reflects the feel-good factor generated by the men's team. Bournemouth is a good place for players to learn and grow.
