EPL: Arsenal v West Ham - 9/8/15, 13:30 - SS1

[BobP]

Convincing win is required, set the tone for the season.

We have to push on this season, Benzema or not.

 

[ModelGooner]

3-0, Walcott, Ox and Özil.

 

[pigge]

Got a boner. Can't believe its ****ing game day already, and best of all, it's not a **** international game!

So excited for this match! Come the f-ck on Gunners!

Ps. 5-0.
Ox, walcottx2, özil, random

ps.ps. giroud if he starts instead of walcott

 

[amirkat]

Giroud up front for me.
Debuchy in for Bellerin.
And Ramsey instead of Cazorla.

Reckon only 1 out of those 3 will happen.

 

[OnlyOne]

Absolutely gutted I'm missing this as I'm working. We should win this one, however I can see a slow sluggish start and I don't feel we'll wipe the floor with them, although I'd loved to be proved wrong. Like people have said, Chelsea have already dropped points, it'd be great if we set a tone and blitzed them.

 

[DJ_Markstar]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG sooooo excitedddd!!!!!!! Start of the season feeling, and we've got a quality team! Most excited I've felt in years!

 

[scytheavatar]

I think Giroud starts I don't know why most people are going with Walcott. Is it cause of the contract?

It's because Walcott up front has been working and our win against Chelsea is proof of that. Giroud plays better coming on as a sub anyway so having him on our bench is an attractive option to have.

Absolutely,,, don't let us down guys!!

 

[Emibury]

We will score first but only draw 1-1.

 

[Furious]

West Ham are in for a hiding here, they won't know what's hit them, I fear for them.

Poor fellas rested players for this game, as if we aren't going to smash them to pieces anyway.

5-0, Ox, Ramsey, Meust, Wenger and Kos.

 

[G0D]

We will score first but only draw 1-1.

There's the famed Arsenal positivity!

Expecting a win today, but not by a large margin, reckon it'll be quite a tight game.

You could argue we played a lot better against Chelsea once Giroud came on though

 

[fabo]

Theo was awful against Chelsea.

Anyway, whoever starts at CF will have chances to score today.

 

[Vinci]

Yeah, not too bothered whether Theo or Olivier starts up front today. Both have several great attributes, but also some very obvious weaknesses to their game. Most games aren't that clear cut in saying we need one of pace or strength. I'd say without Alexis' goalscoring we are better of for now with the more clinical striker in Theo.

 

[RuskyAdam]

We will score first but only draw 1-1.

I was thinking 2-0 or 3-0 but I just cannot match your optimism.

So excited for this season, more so than any season prior to this. Hoping the Ox doesn't get injured, he could have a great season for us, looking like a beast in preseason, let's hope he transfers that into the competitive matches. COYG!

GAME DAY LADS.

 

[Bashii]

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG sooooo excitedddd!!!!!!! Start of the season feeling, and we've got a quality team! Most excited I've felt in years!

Couldn't have put it better myself mate!

 

[RuskyAdam]

Let's not forget what The Hammers are capable of, let's be on our defensive game boys

 

[Bashii]

Hoping to see Ox start and get a good, injury free run in the side on the right. He looks in the shape of his life right now and could have an amazing season imo.

3 - 0 (Cazorla, Ox and Giroud)
Be nice to get out of the blocks quickly especially as the Chavs slipped up yesterday. COYG!!!
