Southampton equalise 2-2

[billypilgrimnz]

Arsenal seem to be the closest role model for how Rodgers would like to play. As we can see, it is an approach that can sometimes be upended by power and directness. Still, they'll go and beat the shitty sides with ease, something that we could try to emulate more often.

[Hand Shandy]

West Ham have been very good to be honest.

[billypilgrimnz]

So happy Arsenal are happy with Giroud.

[Strontium]

Arsenal's greatest misfortune is that football matches are not played on paper.

[Reckoner]

It's very noticeable now what the TV money is doing. Most of what we'd consider mid-table Premiership sides all have some excellent, technically capable players in their teams now.

 

Yes having seen nearly 75 minutes of the seasons first game it's safe to say the landscape of football has irrevocably changed forever.

I reckon 90% of fans would ideally like their teams to play like Arsenal (at their best), but when push comes to shove, most would be take parking the bus to win the league.

Fantastic save

[billypilgrimnz]

Great result...

[FanchesterCity]

Boos for Arsenal. Well I never!

[Anubis]

Disappointed by the lack of boos at the Emirates.

[Anubis]

Boos for Arsenal. Well I never!

Very limited though. Not enough.

[Hand Shandy]

Well we need to take advantage of that, even if it is only the first game of the season.

[FanchesterCity]

Pitchfork prices at the Islington B&Q just skyrocketed.

[FanchesterCity]

Off down the pub to watch your lot.

 

Stoke 1 : 3 Liverpool

Cech is not great when a bus is not parked in front of him, lfc fans should remember how poor he was under attacking managers as he made several mistakes when playing us.

[Boss]

Waiting for Piers Morgan to write Wenger out and start the festivities. Doesn't feel like a new season unless the Arsenal fans turn on Wenger instantly after anointing him king before the season starts.

:lol:

[Tony Moanero]

:lol:

Cunt.

[Grinch]

Cech was terrible for both those goals.  They really should buy a forward too, successful sides don't play with slow lumps upfront.

Is it true Fanchester that the press can't report that Hart is in goal for you tomorrow as there is a superinjunction banning reporting that he is playing away from home?

[therevivalist]

Well, the Soviet/Russians were always known for great espionage, and covert operations. Well played so far.

 

 

Abramovitch's "The Red Orchestra" in full gear.

Arsenal lost. Spurs lost. Chelsea drew. We won. Nice start to the season there. 

 

Man Utd spawned a win as Spurs rolled over after a bright start. But unless Man Utd sign a top class striker I think they may struggle to get top four. Probably see Screech up front for them again soon enough.

Pretty sure they're gonna sign one.
