I know the spider web Halloween nails don't
match this
season, but in my defense I took these pictures in October.
I live in New Zealand and although our
seasons don't
match, good food is always in
season!
Both Ramsey and Cazorla can defend and score as well and I am expecting a very tight
match for Ozil to control the ball and make the right pass... Ramesy for Cesc and Coq for Hazard (tight m2m)... I am sure Monreal will handle his back very well and I hope the same for Bellerin against Hazard... Giroud will find difficulties to hold up the ball against Cahill and Tery, he must be on his day... Welback to
do them the same of Utd game... Gabriel should start most of the remaining games, BFG should be benched next
season
He is dumb, (not the first stupid red card he received against PSG), he is slow (look at the goals we scored against Chelsea and against Basel and ask yourself if Giroud could have been part of that), he's fragile (went missing we needed him most last
season and not scoring for some 15
matches), and he is arrogant (doesn't score for 15 games and puts his finger to his lips when finally scores).
Remys 1st, he was class according to some here, second
match he is shit.just like the case some already saying he wanted us to buy jovetic just because he scored 2goals but
did nt say the same thing when jove was in the physio room last
season and will not reapeat it when he gets injured again.most here are quick to say «i clamoured for a certain player to be bought» when such a player is performing but none here would say» i was wrong» on their favourite players (that eventually flop) that we
did nt buy.i think i am beginning to understand hafiz now when he named fans favourites: cisse, diame, capoue, victor moses etc..
Tbh I was thinking that Stoger's time didn't
match up so well with the second half of the
season, so though it's not a complete comparison, it's pretty good.
i wouldn't mind us getting Isco Isco can play from centre, right and left We
do nt need a CAM but if Ozil gets injured we can use him in CAM and keep Cazorla in b2b He can start all the FA cup and League Cup
matches And if Ozil god forbid decides to leave next
season we have cover
This is another stupid article,
do u knw hw many times wenger has made dis same mistake, how
does a manager with more than 20 years of experience go into a
season wth only 2 senior CB, dis injuries are no mistake, you play the same set of players every chance and just leave the rest to rot on the bench when some players could be rested for others and thus keeping everyone fit and happy... tactics are same every
match hes just so predictable... anyway we all love wenger but he's time is up... we all know that
A
match of this magnitude in the Premier League, coming so early on in the
season, doesn't really hurt a side by much.
Still, Mourinho is extremely pessimistic about English success this
season, telling the Daily Mirror: «I don't think so because I always say the Champions League only starts in February and in February, the English teams are after December and January where we can play 20
matches over two months and the Germans, the French, the Spanish, the Italians, they all come from a winter break.
Walcott has been
doing well out wide so far this
season, and is likely to be given the nod to play off the striker alongside Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, with the former getting his preferred role back after being forced to play as a makeshift striker in the previous two
matches, as Giroud will no doubt be taking his slot back.
Beating the champions twice is meaningless if you end up 10 points behind them at the end of the
season like we
did last
season to Leicester, I would rather we win the
matches that really count like last nights game against Watford, Liverpool
did us a favour and we
did not prepare properly for the game
However, We've only won 5/12 away
matches this
season, so it will indeed be a hard
match — but NLD

Me too but it doesn't add anything to our
season as it will be naive to play him there during competitive
matches
I don't think that is a good enough excuse, The
season has barely started, so there's no need to be resting players, some haven't even gained
match fitness yet?
Coquelin may not play 60 games in one
season, but then again we don't a dm for 60
matches.
This
season we had Arteta as our club captain, who
did not start a single Premier League
match, and was not expected to be a regular in the first - team either.
Wilshere for all his injuries is far better than both Ramsey and Xhaka.I just don't know the importance of Xhaka in the team if he can't defend.He's the real problem in the squad.Why
do fans keep accepting mediocrity?Aren't we tired?It's painful seeing him play every
match in our midfield then the same people who claim to love him would come and be making noise about how average he is after a bad
match forgetting that he's actually average.I'd easily play Maitland - Niles or Coquelin over Xhaka.They would provide more steel in the midfield.Is it going to take us four
seasons to realize how average Xhaka is?The painful things is that by that time many trophies would've have by passed us.
Tottenham are the only unbeaten team left in the Premier League this
season and, although nobody is tipping them to lose at Bournemouth, Merson thinks they will concede two goals — something Spurs are yet to
do in a domestic
match this term.
Van Gaal must choose between Ashley Young and the Italian, who started the
season promisingly but has had a few shaky performances of late and could
do with a good
match.
«Without Petr this
season I don't think the club would be champions because he played six important
matches in the Premier League and without these points we probably wouldn't be champions.
Having said that, the players didn't even turn up, its the same game as Anderlecht away last
season where we escaped with late goals to win, and the Monaco home
match.
Except for certain
matches last
season that Arsenal way we have grown used to, admittedly Wenger's
doing, has been missing from our play.
Despit only playing 15 times for the West Midlands club Martinez clearly
did enough to impress Arsene Wenger as the Frenchman has used him in both of our
matches in the EFL cup this
season and has now rewarded the club's third choice keeper with a shiny new contract.
We can
do wot we
did post bayern
match 2
seasons ago anyway,..
I don't doubt he is «
match fit» but maybe learning something from Diaby, if we are sorted at the situation, no need to constantly run him out there when he can feature off the bench for the
season.
Mind you Zaza
did score in both
matches against Juventus last
season which may have persuaded them to make use of a first - option clause after they sold him to Sassuolo a few years ago, but after acquiring him, are they seriously considering selling him before he even plays for the Italian giants.
thats why he
did nt even care when all those fans booed him at the end of last
season or in the first two
matches.
I remember watching
match of the day and seeing an analysis last
season where flamini was basically the last player back with the cb's during a counter atttack and he
did nt know where to pressurise the ball as they were coming at us from both flanks.
Your opening fixture this
season was a win against Arsenal —
does that add to confidence going into this
match?
The ex-Man United striker Danny Welbeck joined Arsenal in the
season of 2014/15 but in those four years he has only managed to actually start 40 League games for the Gunners, due to various injuries, but he
did score 13 goals in those
matches and has always showed promise until he inevitably returns to the treatment room.
Arsenal players haven been overly played this
season because of the Europa league where we have been playing mainly our B team and Ozil and MK haven't had too many games before Christmas so i think our first 16 players are not heavily over worked and will have less to
do in the coming weeks, we should be more worried about
match fitness then fatigue,
This group is not the type to believe in «morale victories» but they really
did play pretty well and if not for just being over
matched inside they'd likely be looking at W # 1 this
season.
It was a close on early as the Teams traded Games but as the
match continued on, Team Wolter took care of business, as they have
done all
season long..

do nt think that wouldve changed the result.
One of the most intriguing
matches of the weekend is Huddersfield / Burnley, something I
did not envision typing at the beginning of the
season.
The 2001 Mariners didn't even make it to the World Series despite
matching the single -
season wins record.
When I was a kid it was said that some clubs
did n`t mind losing every
match of the
season providing they could beat Arsenal at Highbury.
I've always maintained my stance that Arsene Wenger loves French players in his team than any other players.No matter how average you are once you're French and once you're in the first team he tends to give you so many chances to prove yourself.I can start mentioning them if you want me to but I know you know them.If Lucas Perez was French he wouldn't have been out so early believe me.I just don't know where to begin.Was Giroud bought to become a super sub or to be the leading striker?Having giving us many sesons of failure people are now content with him being a so called super sub.A player like Giroud is not built for that kind of role.He ws a super sub in 99 % of those
matches because he was not played when he was supposed to and we needed presence in the air.The funny thing is people are using only this
season to label him as a super sub.There were so many
matched that Wenger should have started Giroud but for some reason didn't start him.I only see Arsenal as the top club who'd be crying over Giroud.If a good offer comes we should sell.

The Saints have
done brilliantly this term to cope without last
season's stars — but it would be a truly remarkable achievement if they could
match it in 2015/16 should big clubs mine their talent once again...
klopp has made some progress with a pretty mediocre squad but with no midweek football he will concentrate on the league... another reason we will need to bring in 4 or 5 players next
season... the whippet, ox or campbell, mert and gibbs need to go along with the retirees... ramsey too in my books but ai nt going to happen... but will the frog look at the 350 grand a week spent on giroud walcott and welbeck,
match it to one of our worst goal scoring
seasons and think... hmm something
does nt add up... i sadly doubt it
Imo we've been
doing a lot better with refs over the past 2 or 3 years (they cost us a lot of
matches in the previous 5 or so
seasons, far more than our rivals) but seeing that Dean was going to ref this game was a concern still.
The weekend before the EPL
season kicks off Arsenal will face Chelsea again at Wembley Stadium for the Community Shield and unless we
do a lot better against the title holders in that
match there will be very little confidence among us Gooners that the new
season will be the one which finally sees Arsenal crowned champions of England again.
And they
did so without dealing away their most talented young players, too, meaning they've managed to
match their closest rivals, the Red Sox, in more ways than just regular
season record.
im not defending jack but the blame should go the england manager for selecting him for the euros, the guy was injured all
season and had played 2 games at most before the start of the tournament, no matter how hard you train the only way to get back
match fitness / sharpness is to play competitive games same thing with henderson and to another degree sterling for not being a starter with his club & lacking self confidence by not having played well,
do you agree??
Roberto Martinez is hoping to pull his Latics side away from the drop zone and clearly he feels that the best way to
do that is to bring in a player who may be able to boost and attack that has managed just 19 goals in 22 Premier League
matches thus far this
season.
