Arsenal V Burnley, August 14, 1230 KO

[fakeyank]

Start with Pepe, Laca and Auba. In midfield, I wouldnt play both Xhaka and Guendozi.. Bring Torreira in, or play Willock in place of Xhaka or Guen.

[Mac76]

It's 3 points for us or we're shit and our season is fucked

That's it, basically....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Top of the league with a win. :bow:

[dazthegooner]

Just watched Skysports news Koz and Ozil back in training Tueday then Ozil was sick yesterday but feeling better... Emery was then asked about the rumours regarding DC United he just said I'm focusing on Saturday nothing more.

How often does Ozil get sick?! Gosh.. what a waste of 42 million!

[dostoy]

How often does Ozil get sick?! Gosh.. what a waste of 42 million!

Its more like 100 million with his wages.

The biggest mistake in Wengers time at Arsenal was signing this useless waste of space.

[Mac76]

Emery says they're ready to play:

At least we won something after Ozil arrived, I know you have no care for the FA Cup but it's better than the Sweet FA Cup.

Spurs have dominated that for years.

[Letters]

Why does the subject say August 14th? :sulk:

FY Out!

[Marc Overmars]

Going to this. Hopefully get to see Pepe and David Luiz start. Ceballos as well.

3-1.

[Mac76]

i'm on holiday #seasonstartstooearly

if you got your seat on ticket exchange it's probably mine...

[Ralpheroo72]

3-0

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Not sure what to make of the kick off time....but looking forward to my first game. Please don't rain!

[dazthegooner]

12.30 I think.

[Master Splinter]

Ceballos was worse than Mkhitaryan last week. He's obviously a bit rusty and not fully fit, so it would be odd if Willock didn't get another start.

No matter who the ref is, Burnley will be allowed to barge, pull, kick, punch, stab, nunchuk and wrestle all the way up to the 94th minute, when one thug will be booked for his 72nd foul.

Not to mention their big, burly, honest hard men flopping to the ground every chance they get then crying about diving after the game.

6-1.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leno, AMN, David Luiz, Sokratis, Monreal, Ceballos, Guendouzi, Willock, Aubameyang, Nelson, Lacazette.

[I am invisible]

Leno, AMN, David Luiz, Sokratis, Monreal, Ceballos, Guendouzi, Willock, Aubameyang, Nelson, Lacazette.
Not bad. Brave midfield. I like it.

[dostoy]

No Ozil at all, not even on the bench.

Its too hot or too cold for him.

I can't wait until he leaves Arsenal.

[I am invisible]

Good to see Emery feels that he can rotate Xhaka - I don’t mind him as much as some, but I also don’t like the idea of him being a guaranteed starter...

[I am invisible]

Wonder if this will be more of a 433 today?

[Letters]

No Ozil at all, not even on the bench.

Its too hot or too cold for him.

I can't wait until he leaves Arsenal.

He's probably still hiding under his bed.
Looking like he'll sod off to the US.

[SMatthews]

Luiz needs to watch it against Barnes today - he has a history of getting wound up by him.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Thought Guendouzi would start abdvim fine with it. Surprised Nelson has kept his place though.

[LDG]

Thought Guendouzi would start abdvim fine with it. Surprised Nelson has kept his place though.

Nelson did well at Newcastle :shrug:

[SMatthews]

RVP on to talk about Arsenal :sick:

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Thought he was fairly average myself.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Joe Cole. :haha:

Analysis specialist of injury time.

[LDG]

Joe Cole. :haha:

Analysis specialist of injury time.

IT :bow:

:rose:

[SMatthews]

Thought he was fairly average myself.

I think if the club wants to be serious about giving these kids a chance - they need a chance. Home against Burnley is ideal. Meaningless games in Carabo/Europe and 10 minutes here and there rarely did a thing for youngsters under Wenger.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cabaleros in midfield for us says Cole. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Come on Arsenal. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Good to see Emery feels that he can rotate Xhaka - I don’t mind him as much as some, but I also don’t like the idea of him being a guaranteed starter...

Xhaka is injured.

Straight back in next week.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pieters. :lol:

This Stoke clogger is back in the Prem.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Awful from Lowton.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ceballos combs it, wide.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Poor touch from Aubameyang.

[SMatthews]

Good ball in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great lump up field from David Luiz.

[SMatthews]

Laca should’ve done better there.

[SMatthews]

And he did there!

1-0!!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pope saves from Lacazette.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

LACAZETTE!!! :bow:

[GP]

laca! :bow:

[SMatthews]

Early goal is perfect to bring Burnley out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ceballos assist. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barnes drags his shot away.

[Master Splinter]

Burnley getting bullied by Arsenal on set-pieces.

British pundits' feeble minds currently exploding.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nelson sleeping there.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Luiz heads it away, Leno had little chance of getting to it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great save from Leno, offside or not.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Scramble. :bow:

[Thierrymon]

We are looking really poor at defending crossed balls. Burnley winning them all.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

David Luiz has been good.

[Thierrymon]

We have been shocking since getting the lead.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ceballos. :cloud9:

[Thierrymon]

Skills from Ceballos :good:

[GP]

Dani Ceballos is magic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willock clears them all. :lol:

[Thierrymon]

Ceballos having a good game I must say.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Nelson hits it straight at butterfingers Pope.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thug Willock duffing up the precious Burnley flowers.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Auba booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pope saves with his foot off Guendouzi.

[SMatthews]

Barnes scores.

1-1.

[Thierrymon]

Fuck sake. 1-1.

[Thierrymon]

Ceballos showed the player inside :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Us. :lol:

[SMatthews]

Nelson effort ruled offside.

[SMatthews]

Half time.

[SMatthews]

Guendouzi should come off, need more control of the game and more pressure on Burnley.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Time for the Emery hairdryer. :bow:

[SMatthews]

Definite shades of Ramsey to the way Ceballos plays - both the good and bad parts.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

I think if the club wants to be serious about giving these kids a chance - they need a chance. Home against Burnley is ideal. Meaningless games in Carabo/Europe and 10 minutes here and there rarely did a thing for youngsters under Wenger.
So play another one then. He isn’t the only one we have.

[Letters]

Emery Out!

[SMatthews]

So play another one then. He isn’t the only one we have.

Not exactly the point.

[SMatthews]

Pepe on, Nelson off.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pepe. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Unlucky Auba.

[SMatthews]

Good start to the half.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AMN goes for glory. :lol:

[Thierrymon]

Putting them under good pressure since kick off. Need to capitalise on it.

[SMatthews]

Good vision from Pepe and shot from Auba.

[Thierrymon]

Auba close! great through ball from Pepe.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wood off, Rodriguez on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Westwood clears it, never really had a chance to get a clean header on it.

[SMatthews]

Auba!!!

[SMatthews]

Nicely won back by Ceballos.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AUBAMEYANG!!!!! GOAL MACHINE!!!!

[Thierrymon]

Auba! Ceballos :bow: what a game he has had. Sign him up now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leno plucks it out of the air.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Martin Keown: "It's not about quality".

[Master Splinter]

Auba :bow:.

[GP]

Martin Keown: "It's not about quality".

He's talking about his commentary.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Willock getting a bit pub out there, time for Martinelli.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kolasinac on to face the worst thugs he has encountered this summer.

[Thierrymon]

I'd be bringing on Torreira for Willock.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pepe. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

McNeil clears it for us.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Lacazette off, Kolasinac on.

Gudmundsson off, Lennon on. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ozil making it to the Emirates despite being terribly ill.

What a trooper. :bow:

[Thierrymon]

Taken our foot off the gas since the goal again.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pepe with a rocket. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pepe with the tekkers, temporarily.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Ceballos off, Torreira on.

Would rather Ceballos stayed on to ease any pressure tbf.

:bow: to him though.

[SMatthews]

Think Ceballos has nailed down a starting place for the next couple of weeks.

[Thierrymon]

Am i right in thinking we have no option to buy Ceballos as part of the loan?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leno wipes out Torreira. :lol:

[SMatthews]

Am i right in thinking we have no option to buy Ceballos as part of the loan?

Don’t think so. But if he settles in, plays a lot and feels at home we’ll have a chance of buying. Let’s see if he keeps it up first.

[SMatthews]

Nice work by Willock. Looks at home in the first team.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Save to deny Torreira.

[SMatthews]

Auba’s poor control fluffs the breakaway.

[SMatthews]

Nervy ending.

[SMatthews]

Should be it now.

[Thierrymon]

Pepe leaving our right flank very exposed.

[SMatthews]

Dyce crying again :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Arsenal 2-1 Burnley, FT!

Do one you scrotes.

Top of the league. :bow:

[LDG]

Fuck off Burnley! :wave:

[Thierrymon]

Fuck off Burnley! :wave:

:gp:

[GP]

Burnley are Stoke 2.0

Twats.

[Master Splinter]

We somehow have six bookings from two games. It's absurd.

Of course Barnes gets booked in the 98th minute after kneeing and pushing and generally being a disgusting cunt all match.

Anyway, Auba :bow:.

And LOL @ these sub-Stoke inbreds.

[GP]

Top of the league!

[Letters]

Top of the league!

Champions Elect, tbh
