Arsenal v Aston Villa - Saturday 17 August - 15:00

[Master Splinter]

The chance of new signings, especially with international fixtures, is -25%. What with the inevitable injuries, late arrivals and little bit fatigue, it will probably be a slog of a first game.

Anyway, hopefully the team is:

Szczesny

Sagan
Mertesacker
Koscielny
Gibbs

Arteta
Ramsey
Rosicky

Theo
Giroud
Cazorla


3-1 (Theo, Giroud, BFG, Benteke).

Come on Arsenal :scarf:.

[GP]

3-0

[Niall_Quinn]

2-0

[Marc Overmars]

3-0

Not a single 3-0 win last season. Hopefully you've sorted your life out this year.

Villa are a bit shit anyway, so yeah, 3-0. Atmosphere will get ugly if this is anything other than a home win.

[LDG]

5-0 spanking.

Can't fucking wait.

:scarf:

[Ollie the Optimist]

cant fucking wait for this game. first day of the new season. buzzing for it. havnt been to the emirates since stoke game last february, cant wait to be back supporting the Arsenal

oh and meeting some of you lot too ;)

[Rors]

Wonder if I'll be using my Hubrisometer for this one....?

[GP]

Not a single 3-0 win last season. Hopefully you've sorted your life out this year.



lmao my life is a shambles

[Cripps_orig]

Probably going to this.

Hope it's better than last seasons opening shocker

[LDG]

Probably going to this.

Hope it's better than last seasons opening shocker

Hope you don't. We need true gooners behind the team.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

change arteta with perez and we're winning 3-0

keep arteta and we'll win 1-0

[Cripps_orig]

Hope you don't. We need true gooners behind the team.

True gooners or sheep like yourself?

You may be happy with how the team and club are. That's up to you. I respect it.

I'm a little wiser than that

Sagna Mertesacker Koscielny Gibbs

Wilshere Ramsey Rosicky

Theo Podolski Cazorla

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

perez in for ramsey

[Cripps_orig]

He's still on trial. Going by football manager knowledge, you can't play trialists in competitive games

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

he'll get signed

if you were wenger, would you sign a tough tackling columbian or stick with wimpy arteta?

actually dont answer that

[Özil's Panoramic View]

2-0.

Come on you Gunners. :scarf:

[fakeyank]

5-0 spanking.

Can't fucking wait.

How naive are you my child? Have you forgotten that among those going to be present at the game that day, is a man whose presence has resulted in a net 0 goals for Arsenal?

no one is forcing you to go. stop moaning about having to go to a game because its complete and utter bollocks. are Arsenal holding a gun to your head to force you to go? no. so shut the fuck up. idiot

I do! It's not something I can do whenever I want. I think we are going to have a stinker this season because we have not addressed ANY of the issues of last season but for me having the chance to watch Arsenal anytime is always going to be special.

as far as i know, arsenal fans dont moan about having to go to games.


cunts do though

[Cripps_orig]

Then my friend, you don't know much.

That was pretty much a given before this fascinating conversation but confirmed now

[Ollie the Optimist]

Then my friend, you don't know much.

That was pretty much a given before this fascinating conversation but confirmed now

dont know much? i know there are loads of Arsenal fans out there who are gutted they couldnt get a ticket for the game, and then we have twats like you moaning that you have to go, that you have no choice about it and that you want your money back. heres an idea, why dont you sell you ticket, give it to someone who cares, stop fucking whinging about having to go to games and that lifes not fair, i have to watch arsenal and all that bollocks. then fuck off

[Cripps_orig]

And these fans are everything that is wrong with the club as they are the muppets the board and Wenger are hoping to bring in.

By not giving up my ticket a d showing my discontent at the game, I am saving the club and its fan.

I am the saviour of the masses

yeah you are really showing the discontent by paying for a season ticket. well done you. i bet the club hate fans like you who pay them 1000 quid a year.

[Cripps_orig]

yeah you are really showing the discontent by paying for a season ticket. well done you. i bet the club hate fans like you who pay them 1000 quid a year.

Rather that then having a fan like you cheering Wenger regardless of how he does and encouraging him to destroy the club I love.

I'm an arsenal fan. Not a Wenger FC fan.

[Ollie the Optimist]

I'm an arsenal fan. Not a Wenger FC fan.

by renewing your season ticket, you are allowing them to think the fans are happy. by paying that much money, they love it, they dont care if you dont turn up or not, you paid them 1000 quid into the bank so allowing the rot to continue, so you are doing more to help that, then i am, by going to one game and cheering for the team. well done

[Cripps_orig]

It seems that way but its a long and complicated process.

I am a martyr. Wasting my well earned money so others don't have to suffer.

In time, things will turn be it in my lifetime or not but when it does and fans hundred years from now look back and try to find out why Arsenal are the greatest club ever with most trophies, they will look back to the day one fan stood as a martyr and where the changing of the club first started from money grabbing cunts to trophy winning legends

[Ollie the Optimist]

yeah thats a massive load of shit. i bet you just sit there quietly, watch the game and dont do anything. then you come on here and give it the billy big bollocks about how you protested loudly, and walked out early and really showed the club whos the boss.

you clearly dont care, you dont want to go to games, you would rather sell your ticket. just sell it, give it to someone who would rather go to the game and owuld enjoy it and fuck off

[Cripps_orig]

As a great man once said

You say it best when you say nothing at all

whats funny is that he is an idiot. having a go at wenger for being angry at eduardo? what did he expect wenger to do?

and his tactics and defence bullshit he came out with about how wenger refused to let bould train the defence was proven to be complete and utter bollocks.

the final proof that stewart robson is an idiot, is that he wanted untied to sign jack wilshere to prove a point to arsenal.

So you believe everything that Wenger says? Are you fcuking mad? Robson talks the truth and he has no grinds to axe with wenger, apart from him being in the job paying 7 million per year for coming 4th. Do you really think that if Wilshire was a fit player and not injury prone, he would have signed for United or City, the fact he is a fcking cripple at a tender age puts off a lot of buyers.

[Ollie the Optimist]

So you believe everything that Wenger says? Are you fcuking mad? Robson talks the truth and he has not grinds to axe with wenger apart from him being in the job paying 7 million for coming 4th.

robson hasnt got an axe to grind with wenger? :haha:

the man is so bitter its unreal. he never says anything useful about the club, he just comes out with the same old shit.

[GP]

Robson is a sad, bitter man who has sand in his vagina because he got sacked for being a bellend.

And anyone who believes a word he says is an even bigger bellend.

[BlindFaith_8]

Robson is a sad, bitter man who has sand in his vagina because he got sacked for being a bellend.

So you think he has an agenda by stating the obvious and facts that Wenger cannot be trusted to buy decent players, has not got a clue about tactics, was pissed when Bould took defensive traning and has not won anything for 9 years. So he was sacked from Arsenal TV, so what, he's got the balls that most reporters dont so they dont get banned from the press conferences.

[GP]

So you think he has an agenda

Yes. It's blindingly obvious.

wengers only ever banned one paper from his press conferences and thats the sun last year because they made up a story and he was livid. fair play to him, he takes so much shit of them, im amazed he didnt ban them sooner.

stating the obvious is saying wenger was pissed at bould for taking defensive training. yeah im sure thats true. i mean its not like our defence massively improved last season is it? why would wenger be pissed at that. wenger does buy decent players too.

[Injury Time]

Mrs IT "since the weekend is clear I've booked our friends from up north to come down"
Me "that's great not seen them in ages, which weekend we don't have a free one until late Sept?"
Soon to be ex mrs IT "this weekend there is nothing in my diary"
Me "that would be Villa at home, the first match of the season <_<"
Xmrs it "oh. By the way I've ordered a futon you need to put together for the spare room..."
Me "FFS" <_<

So 10 nil home win, Senogo, Giroud and Pod hatricks and Benteke* OG

*he still there? :unsure:

[Cripps_orig]

Yes he is unfortunately.

And I think you should go to the game. Friends come and go. Arsenal doesn't.

Sagan is made of pure ebony and is therefore hard as fuck.

He'll play.

Last night, one journalist said sagna told him he was a doubt, and I've seen some people saying Walcott might be a doubt too. No idea on that one though.

[Niall_Quinn]

We have Bendtner who can play there.

[Marc Overmars]

Theo was a doubt for England last night but ended up playing, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's 50/50 now.

I suppose Rosicky comes in if Arteta doesn't make it.

Isn't rosicky injured too?, thought that's why he didn't play in the city game or was it just a knock?

[Niall_Quinn]

Hodgeson should have to pay out of his own pocket if he picks unfit players and gets them injured. That would make his team selections more reasonable for sure.

[Ollie the Optimist]

:doh:

someone just uploaded a squad list, with no youngsters in it or deadwood (bentner, park etc who wont play) and taken out all those who are doubts for saturday.


we have 13 fit players for saturday. 13! fuck

Bendtner is the best striker in the world.

Park is the best Asian player in the world.

We have the best youngsters in the world.

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal v Aston Villa

The Luis Suarez saga is having a similar effect on Arsenal's summer too. We are waiting to see what happens there, and the Gunners have not made a significant signing yet, despite supposedly having £70m to spend.
It appears they missed out on Gonzalo Higuain, who joined Napoli from Real Madrid instead and, although Wenger has claimed his side can win the title with or without Suarez, I don't think they can with what he has got in his squad at present.

Benteke asked to leave Aston Villa but ended up signing a new contract lasting until 2017
Even so, they are still capable of beating Aston Villa at home. I do think Villa will have a better season than last year, though, and they did brilliantly to keep Christian Benteke.
They put a £25m price tag on him and nobody who wanted him was prepared to pay that, so they kept hold of him and he got a new contract - everybody is happy.
Villa are a well-run club under Paul Lambert and I see them staying out of trouble this season. Their younger players will be better for the experience they have picked up and, in Benteke, they have got goals in them.
Lawro's prediction: 2-0


Hope Lawro is right

[Boss]

We're thumping this filth.

Giroud hattrick.

[Master Splinter]

Arteta, Vermaelen, Monreal, Sanogo, Diaby all out.

Sagna, Cazorla, Rosicky, Ramsey little bit on the edge of the red zone.

Dennis Bendtner on the bench :bow:.

[Nayan]

1-1

[Ollie the Optimist]

we're going to sign flammini arent we? i mean right now, given we have almost no players to put on the bench, id take him a short contract. just as something

Might as well. No idea if he's any good these days.

i never thought after newcastle game, we would get to villa struggling to even get a bench together because we hadnt signed anyone.

there is no excuse for that

There is no market.

The French have bought everyone.

We are little bit same as Chelsea and Utd.

We have Sanogo. You do not talk about him.

fuck it, there isnt much we can do about transfers now. once the game kicks off, its time to sing up and bring those 3 points home. enjoy the day with beers, singing, friends and hopefully 3 points.

yes that will really help convince players to join us if we lose to villa. fucking idiot

[Master Splinter]

Cilla is out for Villa.

She was one of their best players in the second half of the season.

[Cripps_orig]

Theo Walcott scored with one in four of his attempts on goal last season, compared to one in six for the average forward.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I'm actually a lot more worried about us playing at home than playing away from home at the moment, we did ok at the back end of last season away from home because we sat deep and played counter attack...but there is no way we will do that at home and our midfield will give about as much protection to our back four as a condom full of holes.
Draw or Villa win....three points is never certain when your playing with Ramsey it's like playing most of the game with ten men or really nine men because of the way he brings down the quality of those around him (and there isn't a great deal of quality going around to begin with)

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23731006

Surely someone at the club needs to stop him from talking to the media it's just embarrassing.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23731006

Surely someone at the club needs to stop him from talking to the media it's just embarrassing.

There obviously aren't enough players out there of sufficient quality for the team that finished 4th in the league and got knocked out of both cups by lower league opponents.

[BlindFaith_8]

It's obvious to me that since beating Citeh in a friendly match, Wenger in his own deluded mind thought to himself; Actually if we can beat Citeh with the current squad then why should I go out and waste money on transfer because of the sake of it? Does he not realise that was an exhibition match and should not be measured over a season of 50 plus competetive games. Yes we may be good enough for 4th place just about, but who gives a fcuk about that apart from him and his cronies. I just really hope and pray we have really bad season with the spuds finishing above us. Then he'll eat his fckun humbile french frog eating pie.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Not too bad but Carzola aside painfully little depth there. Another injury or two and we're in serious trouble.


Hoping Ox takes his chance this season.

[Munchies]

How is Gnabry? never really seen him play

[GP]

How is Gnabry? never really seen him play

Pretty good, tho a little bit raw. Lots of potential.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Has looked a bit out of his depth whenever he's featured for the first team but Wenger seems to rate him which is all that matters.


If we're leading comfortably I hope he manages to get on.

[Marc Overmars]

4 GHELs starting.

arsenal r 2 blame for ingland not being very gd

It'll be even more when we sign Williams and Barry.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Hope Koscienly's back pocket has enough space for a big black angry Belgium.


Arsenal v Aston Villa (1500 BST)

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "We want to start well at home with a win against a team who are strong on the counter-attack, so we need a good defensive performance. Pre-season has gone well - the only really bad thing is we got some injuries, the last one to Mikel Arteta just before the season starts. Thomas Vermaelen and Nacho Monreal we could get used to the idea, but the most recent one is a blow because we're a bit short in midfield. We have vital games coming up, next week we have the Champions League qualifier, so we hope not to get more injuries."

Williams is Welsh

[GP]

Williams is Welsh

Exactly.

[Munchies]

Amazing he's even playing with a broken leg.

In his genes :coffee:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa's kit. :blink:

[Marc Overmars]

Ah didn't know they were covering our game.

Perfect, I'll have it on in the background while I do some work.

[Munchies]

Bar Bentekkers, they're shit

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Hope we put these pubbers to the sword.

Come on you Gunners.

[Rors]

Bar Bentekkers, they're shit

Quoted for reference...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Munchies]

Our GK kit is nice

[Rors]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

Considering the usual time this fixture is played, :tree: should have been brought out of mothballs for today..

[Özim]

Exciting team.

You're clearly easily excited.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rosicky never tackles though.

:Lawro:

[Master Splinter]

Wilshere is the new Diaby. Keeps the the ball for too long.

[Munchies]

Shit pass Rambo

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ramsey. :doh:

[Marc Overmars]

Giroud!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Özim]

Big lump scores 1-0

[Rors]

Balls.

[Master Splinter]

Giroud!!!!!!!!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

GIROUD!!!! What a counter-attack.

[Munchies]

BIG SEXY :bow:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Giroud!!! :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

Great work from Oxlade apparently.

[Edinburgh Gooner]

GIROUD!!!!!!!!!!

[Master Splinter]

Rosicky's awlsome turn made that.

Little turn boost :bow:.

[GP]

Great goal!

:loveblush:

[Munchies]

Great work from Oxlade apparently.

Yeah, good pass from him to Giroud

Big season for him.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great work from Wheelchair right at the beginning of the move. And Rosicky. :bow:

Arsenal. :bow:

[GP]

Great little finish that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fantastic corner routine.

[Rors]

Oi, we are the ones who do the counter-attacking round here! :(

[Master Splinter]

http://img.poptower.com/pic-93831/kevin-nash.jpg?d=1024

The Dude :bow:.

[Munchies]

nWo :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Rosicky our scrote. :bow:

[GP]

Rosicky not tackling again.

:Lawro:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

TR7 GHELling it up a bit there.

[Munchies]

Rosicky is playing for a new contract this season, last year on his deal.

I'd laugh if he has a blinder, and leaves us :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well done Kos.

[Penguin]

Rosicky is showing us again what a superb midfielder he is. If only his legs weren't made of glass!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Baker off injured, Clark on.

[Rors]

There goes Baker (who I am still less than convinced by)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Villa playing us in. Kind.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bif header, way wide.

[Rors]

Villa playing us in. Kind.

:tiphat:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Villa. :blink:

[Rors]

A pel eh...Come on..

[Penguin]

fuck

[Marc Overmars]

Penalty to Villa. :doh:

[Munchies]

LOL

[Munchies]

:haha:

[Rors]

Yizzoh!!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Ref is a little bit massive cunt.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

1-1 Benteke, after the pel was saved.

[Thierrymon]

Agbonglahor saving his only good performances of the season just for us again.

[Munchies]

Fuck off

[Marc Overmars]

Saved but Bentekkers puts in the rebound. :doh:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

ffs chesney...

how about pushing the ball wide

[GP]

See, the defence has no protection. Arteta has been a huge loss.

[Munchies]

ffs chesney...

how about pushing the ball wide

Pretty much

[BlindFaith_8]

Get in Benteke!! Yes.

[Munchies]

Interesting to see the boos at half-time if it stays 1-1

[GP]

Get in Benteke!! Yes.

Go away.

[Penguin]

ffs chesney...

how about pushing the ball wide

schoolboy error

[Munchies]

Big Sexy is too strong for these flimsy fuckers, one touch and they go down

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gibbs left a bloody mess, ref somehow misses it.

[GP]

Gibbs is dead.

[BlindFaith_8]

See, the defence has no protection. Arteta has been a huge loss.

Areteta a huge loss? The worst defenssive midfielder we have ever signed. He's pure pants Gay Lord.

[Marc Overmars]

Gibbs busted wide open.

[GP]

Areteta a huge loss? The worst defenssive midfielder we have ever signed. He's pure pants Gay Lord.

Go away.

[Niall_Quinn]

Go away.
