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

[RandyMarsh]

0-0 until the 36th minute and then a quick double team by Ramsey and Theo. Game all but over at half time. We go into our shell a bit but still manage to nick a 3rd one in the 78th minute with Coquelin getting his first goal since returning by scoring with a perfectly timed sliding challenge that sends the ball flying into the top corner from 40 yards.

Just a hunch.

Nice hunch. I have it as 3-0 as well!

 

[SuperGoon]

Benzema will come out in an Arsenal jersey and score a hat trick on his surprise debut. Arsène Wenger is renamed the Special One, and Mourinho asks for Cech back.


Just a hunch.

 

[RuskyAdam]

Arsène will sub himself on as our number 9 and rip West Ham to pieces and score 5 goals and go on to become Player of the Season.

Just a hunch.

 

[krengon]

Can't wait!! Finally the season starts for us, hope to see a good performance and 3 points ofcourse.

Seeing rumours that West ham are going to start with a 16 year old. Do they have an injury crisis or is he that good?

All Cech's non-returnable!

0-0 till the 70th minute and everybody whines about Giroud and Wenger.
and then we got a lucky goal, we celebrated for 1 page, and then everyone is back at cursing Wenger and Giroud.

Pretty much the usual routine on A-M

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Hopefully we make a positive start.

 

[Emibury]

I wonder if we will get through the game without picking up an injury? About 50-50 I reckon.

 

[Hunta]

My body is ready.

 

[Bashii]

Why is time moving so slowly!

Alexis on the bench.

Bellerin not in the squad, I'm guessing he's picked up a knock. Hope it isn't serious! I rate Debuchy highly though, great cover.

Pleased with Giroud up top!

 

[RandyMarsh]

Ergh. CM on the wing with Giroud up front. Looks like we'll never ditch this tactic. Shame.

Will be enough to see through West ham though. Ox carrying the beacon as the only guy with pace today.

Let's do this ****!!!

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

Bellerin must be injured he is not even on the bench.

 

[Gooner4evah]

I guess a minor injury for Bellerin or something? Here we go again, start of the season and the injuries are coming back!

Tbf Giroud has a great record against West Ham. This is the kind of game he's useful in.
