    Blimey. Better fire up the tv.
    However much I dislike certain aspects of the premier league, I can't help but be excited for its return.
  • Preferred Highbury but then I'm of a certain age. Hopefully a goal festival .

    Arsenal have started their slump early this year.
    Three conceded at home within an hour.

    I see they're still persisting with zonal marking at corners. If it's broke, fix it ffs.

    On second thoughts I'm not really that fussed if the Woolwich rejects want to crack on with it :smirk: .

    Agree. It's like they know how they're supposed to play, but have never met each other before.

    Once since 2010 and quite a few of those were at home too.

    Nothing more enjoyable than watching Arsenal lose
  • I think a lot of modern football comes down to mental strength and confidence.

    The media soap operas must translate to the players because it is so incessant and they must lack confidence in Wenger even if only on a sub conscious level.

    Whereas a Ferguson had the opposite reputation and his teams would always seem to come back and win and it became a self fulfilling prophecy. Same as with Arsenal now, the nerves and the self doubt creep in a bit like England in pressure games because it is what has become expected.

    New managers get a bounce like Conte as their reputation preceeds them and they bring an instant air of confidence and self believe. Give a few draws against Burnley and Southampton and the press will get on his back and the players will start to doubt and then it will be "lost the dressing room scenario" as with what happened with Mourinhion.

    That or the fact he just buys bottle jobs.

    Good to see Matty James playing again after a massive layoff. Hamer on the bench...

    Hopefully every premier league game this season will be a seven goal thriller.

    Can't say i have your enthusiasm about it, which i will admit is a shame, but that's
    what the branding of premiership has done.

    Don't know why Giroud doesn't play more

    Giroud is so underrated... in any other circumstance he should be asking Wenger why he's not playing but both Lacazette and Welbeck scored today.

    Good game, shame about the result. Think it's going to be a similar season to the last bunch for arsenal. That defence is still not good enough.

    Giroud is a class player. He has just been playing in front a load of crap for years. If he was at united under sir Alex the guy would've been getting 30 goals a season. He's underrated.
