----------------------

Last season's top 2 go head to head on Monday night - in a way it's a shame that this game is so early as both teams won't be at full strength; Lallana is still missing, Markovic will probably make the bench. Moreno should come in at left back. Balotelli won't be registered in time. City are without Mangala, Zabaleta and Aguero are still not 100%. From our perspective I'm glad to get this out the way early - it's undoubtedly the toughest fixture of the season but one we should have won last season if not for woeful officiating. I think City will just edge this being at home so I will certainly take a point.

Villa got off to an unexpected good start last week while Newcastle got off to an expected poor one. Despite this they could have nicked an equaliser late on before Aguero sealed it at the other end. A defeat for Newcastle would really place pressure on Pardew though even at this early stage.

Everton vs Arsenal should be good - last season Everton won comfortably at Goodison to keep their CL dream alive and with Arsenal having one eye on their CL qualifier I can see Everton getting a win here.

On Sunday 'Arry returns to WHL; QPR will be really disappointed to lose vs Hull but I can see them causing some problems for Spurs - I'm expecting this to be a tasty affair.

United will have looked at their first few fixtures before the season and rubbed their hands with glee but all of a sudden Sunderland away is looking daunting - RVP might be back but defensively they are still a mess; Rojo is unavailable for this one.

This looks a good weekend!

I guess the tv people decide when the fixtures are played, but I never understand putting the biggest game of the weekend on a Monday night.

Of the other games, only Everton-Arsenal and spurs-QPR really look interesting.

Sunderland vs United is pretty interesting wouldn't you say? Always fun to laugh at United.

Its a bank holiday in the UK otherwise this would have a super sunday

Villa the much better team so far - hard to see them not scoring.

Cabella is such a pussy   is he even that good? Seems to be average so far.

He's had some tidy moments. Only been here 5 minutes so I'd give him some time to settle. Looks like has a bit about him.

Absolute pansy though.

Well that was dull. Good defending on both sides but toothless attack. Villa probably be happier - Newcastle just have too many new players that are all very meh. Villa look quite decent on the counter but badly need a striker who can score goals.

   He's only had 1 good game out of his first 2, sell him!

Shite result, it's a good thing we refuse to let our most creative player have anything to do with the first team.  

Arsenal: Szczesny, Debuchy, Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Flamini, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wilshere, Ozil, Sanchez.

Subs: Koscielny, Rosicky, Giroud, Cazorla, Martinez, Campbell, Bellerin.

This should be interesting. If this fails cant see how Wenger wont be signing another striker.

Chelsea may end up winning the league, but watching them is dull as fuck
They have such good players, I want to see balls out gung ho outrageous football, not this drilled efficient shite. No wonder Stamford Bridge has about as much atmosphere as the Moon.

For all the shite I like to give Luis and his Liverpool cronies, at least they were tasty on the eye for us 'neutrals'. I just cannot envisage Chelsea ever being a particularly gratifying side to watch. Plus Diego Costa is definitely not in his twenties, I demand Sky Sports to set up a campaign to see his Birth Certificate. Dodgy as fuck. And why are Chelsea promoting Gazprom at Stamford Bridge Advertising hoardings?? Its a rhetorical question, the answer is that theyre corrupt as fuck, just like the Clubs owner. Speaking of whom clearly didnt become a billionaire buying anti perspirant, camera cutting to see him with raise arms and huge swarthy sweat patches was rather putrifying.

Id even prefer to see Arsenal win the title than that lot.

S4P, come at me sexy.

CG Janmaat had a good game today! De Jong is such a c**t though.

Arsenal players have impressive chests in those Puma shirts!

Oohh 1-0 Everton.

What are you talking about?You thought they were boring in the second half too?
They are a considerably better side now with Cesc-Matic in midfield. They can still defend well but now they can create chances too.
And they will get better once Luis is integrated to the side.

2-0 Naismith

Ooooooof he was way offsides.

That shouldnt have counted. Poor Arsenal. Have they bought a striker yet?

Arsenal can lend one of our strikers if they want, we have about 5.

Seriously though Arsenal off to a poor start to this season - title absolutely no chance with this squad.

Looking at us(man utd) and them(arsenal) could the c**ts(spurs) become 4th?

Everton are probably more likely than Spurs.

Arsenal always finish in the top 4 though - they always have a poor start, fantastic middle, poor again towards the end but win their last 4 easy fixtures to clinch 4th.

Well last year they started well, didnt they?

One thing is for sure for Arsenal:



And so is March.

Everton graft their way though to opportunities in games add a good coach and a few clever players they become formidable.

I honestly didnt knew till now Ozil was playing for Arsenal. He can hide so well in games like this, its amazing. His camouflage stats it PES must be 92.

Ramsay + Wilshere = most overrated midfield partnership in Europe.

One is a show pony, the other is a facking runner.

Ozil Arsenal look predictable good run by Baines

In games like this the only way Arsenal can afford to Carry Ozil is by putting him in a number 10 role and have a bunch of Kuyt's & Olic's in the other midfield/winger spots.

The worst elite-level player at tracking back that I've seen in quite a while.

Underrated Ramsey scores

Ramsey goals

Ramsey [GOAL] is their best player, whilst Wilshere's reputation is going the same way as Balotelli's.
