Time to make some new epic memories

Sanchez looks like the Sanchez of last season at Man U, gets tackled a lot and gives the ball away a lot

For £500k a week!

2 minutes in home penalty to Man U

Been on the fence about how much I'll watch Arsenal this season. On one hand I'd like to see how this new Arsenal under Emery looks. On the other hand, football is *%^@ these days. But any season that starts with Manchester United scoring from a penalty inside 2 minutes of the first game can really go *%^@ itself.

I think he's a much better player in a team that plays with real attacking intent. Not a Mourinho team. Nevertheless, he's quality and I expect him to do some damage as the season progresses.

Know what you mean

You're never going to post again?

I'm not going to make a big fuss out of the City result if its a loss. If its a big loss, yes. But a par for the course loss as we have had to them over the last several years? No. It's early days. I expect the Chelsea match in the 2nd game to be more competitive but I'll wait till about September, after a handful of matches under his managerial belt to stat expecting things out of Emery's side.

I'm still excited not to have Wenger on the touchline. That fact alone has me excited.

I can' believe that either of you saw the penalty. From the first tiime I saw it I agreed with the decision from a ref I do not like and who made a numberof unfair bookigs , conned by the Utd players.

Clearcut pen, hand to ball. Cut the crap.............

We'll find out tomorrow around 5:30 pm whether we have more of the same to come.

Unfortunately it seems the knives will be out if it doesn't go well. Couldn't we all agree to give Emery at least a few months to see if he can organise things with the players he's brought in amusing the players he's kept.

Most supporters will give him a few months unless it's particularly disastrous. That doesn't mean we can't criticise in the meantime. The transfer business was unimpressive in my view.

Unfortunately John a couple of gems from the transatlantic oaf this morning.

Yes Kiwi! That is great stuff. Never heard of him so thanks for putting him on my radar. Even enjoyed the Redknapp twitches. Very different guitaring but try this.

I find this watered down football format total bollox ....games on different days

Pandering to television companies and the couch potatoes of the world .

It's like being ravenously hungry ; going into a restaurant on Friday having the entree and a small wine then being told you have to come back Saturday for the main course and return on Sunday for the dessert and a Drambuie .

We've waited three months for some action and now get it on the drip feed

A new season has arrived .......... sound the trumpets and play the whole bloody lot at 3.00 pm Saturday .

At Highbury half the buzz at half time and the end ; looking with anticipation across the ground to watch them flip over those little boards indicating results of your rivals .

Spurs losing away to Sheffied United ...... hee haaa

When digesting our result I want to see how ManU , Liverpool , Chelsea , Totts and Citee got on at the same time .

Man U played Friday , Spurs , Chelsea today , wait for ours tomorrow , Liverpool god knows when ........ Grrrrrr **&*&^%$#

Looked at the list of games from last night and frankly interest levels were at almost zero. I am sure Huddersfield, Bournemouth, Watford fans had things of interest but there was just nothing to look out for. The league is a closed shop to about 2-3 teams. We used to be one of them but no longer. Hard to have too much of an interest in the whole process. After my current phone contract expires - it has access to all EPL games then I think I will retreat to the 1970s - get the results & maybe see some highlights of our games. In summary the league is no longer competitive & I struggle to get too excited about anything. If things go badly for us in the first couple of days you could say our challenge for the EPL title will be over. I am not sure that is a way forward for the league.

Mark Knofler's about the only guy I know who can get away [ in my book ] with very slow guitar picking . "Why Worry ", Going Home ...... maybe Hank Marvin .

Welbeck at left back?!

With Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac out, head coach Unai Emery hinted Danny Welbeck could start in defence.

Čech, Bellerin, amn, mustafi, Sokratis, guendouzi, Xhaka, ramsey, Özil, mikhtayran, Aubameyang
Leno, Lichtsteiner, holding, Torreira, elneny, iwobi, Lacazette on the bench

Really looking forward to this game but like Haz I'm not expecting too much. After all, we are very much a work-in-progress whilst City are near to the finished article.

Great to see young Guendouzi start, I just hope the occasion is not too much for him and that he at least shows glimpses of the talent he has shown in pre-season.

Overall, I'm just hoping for signs we are moving in the right direction........better organisation, more intensity with and without the ball, hopefully fitter and more aggressive that in previous seasons.
