Posted August 7, 2016 We beat Manchester City in Gothenburg, but the headline is Gabriel suffering a nasty injury in injury time in a clash with Sterling, looks like cruciate ligament damage which would mean it looks like Holding and Chambers against Liverpool,unless Wenger proceeds to find a replacement.

Posted August 7, 2016 Gotta to go with Monreal and Chambers at centre back if he doesn't want to risk Koscielny. Only Arsenal consistently get themselves in this problem. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) Valencia's Shkodran Mustafi agrees to join Arsenal but no fee agreed Seems Wenger is reacting to Gabriel's injury, I'd be ok with this. Edited August 11, 2016 by Emerald Emblem Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 14, 2016 I only heard the match on the radio but I wasn't feeling particularly confident about Liverpool throughout the first half. As soon as we made it 4-1, though, I stepped out of the room to share the joy with my wife! When I returned, it was 4-2 and I immediately felt that we would actually throw it all away.. and we nearly did Liverpool don't do comfortable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 14, 2016 Happy that United came through the opening game with a good result, but also sad that it just had to be against Bournemouth. I really like the way we played today, there was a good deal of balance and we had something that we didn't seem to have last season. I'm feeling confident. Just not quite sure how we're going to line up when Pogba and Mikhi play and everyone is fit. I feel a little bit sorry for Arsenal. I don't think they played badly enough to concede 4 goals, but I guess a narrow loss is about the right result. They'll get criticised to hell because it's four goals conceded at home and Wenger had a lack of options, but the actual performance isn't the worst or anywhere near that. Arsenal will sign players, but they probably should be doing their business a little earlier. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 15, 2016 So I'm watch Chelsea vs. West Ham on the local TV station and I have to say the new Premier League graphics are ugly as sin! Who ever thought this was a good idea? I wouldn't be surprised if the person who 'designed' this rubbish picked up a massive cheque as well.... Thankfully SKY, BT and the BBC use their own graphics. All of which are at the very least inoffensive! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 15, 2016 So I hear that Diego Costa scores the winning goal in a game where he should have received a second card and a subsequent sending off minutes beforehand. Welcome back, Premier League. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 15, 2016 My former work colleague whos a West Ham fan showed me the Costa challenge: Straight red every day of the week. He gets away with so much shit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 15, 2016 Ouch! That is dangerous, should've been a red. He'll get a retrospective ban for that, it's a shame it was missed... even as a Chelsea fan I'll say that! Silly challenge! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 16, 2016 Straight red every day of the week. He gets away with so much shit. Yet some people still claim he isn't a dirty player. Think he was the only person the whole weekend to get a booking for charging the referee after he made a decision too? Disgusting person, can't stand him.

Posted August 17, 2016 Mahrez signs new Foxes deal That's another ongoing transfer rumor gone. I couldn't realistically see him leaving. Leicester have lost Kante and I think that's as far as it'll go with selling players this season. It's the right thing for them to do if they want to reeeeally challenge for top four again. They could have become Southampton or Everton II and sold Kante + Vardy, Mahrez, Morgan, Schmeichel, Drinkwater and Huth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) Excellent performance tonight by the team. Pogba looked great, but Ibrahimovic looks like he'll become a cult hero at the club at the rate he's going. I was one of the ones who wasn't sure about his signing, but it's all going well so far. In truth, each of Mourinho's signings look like they could turn out well for the club and add something that we didn't have beforehand or lacked last season. Compared to last season, this was a really enjoyable game. There was a bit of physicality tonight that we didn't really have last year. Fellaini and Pogba looked very strong in the middle, with Bailly and Blind behind. Edited August 19, 2016 by Fierce_LiNk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 25, 2016 Yeah, that group seems nailed on, fight for top of the group (Barca and City) and the fight for Europa (Celtic and Monchengladbach). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 25, 2016 Dat group C of death! I don't really what makes it the group of death, other than the fact it has Barca and Man City. In reality, it has: Barcelona England's 4th best side Germany's 4th best side Scotland's champions, but Scottish football is crap. Yes, that's putting Man City down a bit, but just stating the facts. I wouldn't say there's a real group of death, but there's several other groups I'd say will be tougher/closer than that. Pretty pleased with Arsenal's group. Thank god it wasn't possible to get Dortmund, and we've avoided our annual double header with Bayern or Barca until the next round! Leicester have a chance of getting through to the next round potentially. Spurs are jammy and have a Europa League group! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
