Matchday 1

[SM]

Giroud starts after all Jatz haha, sucks for anyone with Walcott.

 

[WCEbrody]

Interested to see how some of the new Liverpool signings go, especially Clyne.

Debuchy over Bellerin is the surprise in the Xl. Giroud's inclusion wasn't expected, but is understandable considering his terrific record against West Ham

 

[Snarls Barkley]

West Ham are playing 16 year old Reece Oxford!

 

[Bojan KantKick]

West Ham are playing 16 year old Reece Oxford!

In my fantasy team!

Bellerin isn't even on the bench. Does he have a niggle?

Hmmm, either illness or little bit niggle I'm guessing.


EDIT: thigh muscle injury, out for a few days. Confirmed by le professeur

Bellerin is not in the squad and did not train yesterday. Giroud starting over Walcott is not a big surprise.

Wicked! That should help haha

As I speculated and later confirmed, Bellerin has a 3-4 day injury. There's no way he would've been dropped by Wenger.

Decent.

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Mbemba rocking up to SJP in a tux, what a lad!

Solid team too - Aarons and Mitrovic maybe should be in for Obertan and Cisse but otherwise close to full strength I think.

Mitrovic not starting? **** my Fantasy team.

What a beast of a bloke!

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Mitrovic not starting? **** my Fantasy team.

Yeah, bit surprised myself actually! Would expect him to get a run in the second half though.

What a beast of a bloke!

Best bit is that it means Iron Mike Williamson is relegated to helping the tea lady.

 

[Zidane98]

Mitrovic not starting? **** my Fantasy team.

He is known as the Serbian Balotelli. Perhaps he hasn't put the hard yards in at training.

 

[Flameboy]

Put some cash on Arsenal and I am the worst punter in the history of the world. So sorry in advance, Gooners

I dont think you are actually sorry.

Too busy enjoying his mum's cooking.

Probably just a case of Stevie Wonder wanting to ensure he doesn't get sent off in the first 10 mins.

Oi, you realise John Carver has been sacked right?

 

[DaVillaBlues]

Not sold on Arsenal being legit title contenders yet, ask me after a month or so ..

Watching Ozil chase the opposition is such a novelty.

 

[Dignan]

Jesus Christ, Slaven.

Shave that head mate

 

[Sozabarus]

Never heard of Reece Oxford before, assumed he was a winger or something. Can't believe he's playing at the base of midfield, fascinated to see how he gets on.
