While the Gunners might have desperately needed to pocket all three points from our day out at the seaside, I’ll be delighted if the Cherries go on to consolidate their highly-prized place in the Premier League because the humble, yet most hospitable, environs of Dean Court is a very welcome addition to the top flight.

A crisp sunny day for a drive out of the Big Smoke, the lilting Welsh accents of the genial locals, a clean sheet, three goals and a return trip back across the Severn Bridge, plumped up by a seven-point cushion.

You’ve got to love this game of ours.
