Arsenal v Chelsea Sun 22 August 4.30pm

no match thread until now :tumbleweed: :lol:

0-3 Havertz hatter

No White.

Leno cedric tierney mari holding sambi xhaka smith rowe saka pepe martinelli

We are screwed

Holding is the Chelsea destroyer.

I think we’ve all accepted that we’re starting this season with a 3-game handicap - we’ll get going after the international break.

White’s out - “illness” again ffs.

Any point is a bonus

At least Saka’s starting - just missing the entire spine of the team now.

I think I’ll be use my patent pending “look up the result afterwards, tut and get on with the rest of my day” method of following Arsenal a lot this season

Auba looks really hacked off

Xhaka went down but unfortunately he's back up again...

ESR. :bow:

Xhaka embarrassing himself on the ball.

chelsea scum fans booing saka :angry:

We seem to have 2 match threads going on for some reason.

Great ball from Lonkonga, the touch and cross from Tierney great also.

Lokonga is quality

well mine was up first :sulk:

0-1 Lukaku, layed on a plate.

fucking hell how easy was that - we gave James and Lukaku the freedom of the Emirates

Really should merge the 2 match threads!

I stupidly changed my mind and thought I’d try and find a stream.
Turned on just in time to see the goal.
*switches off*

to be fair it was - didnt see it when i started my thread as went through some re-writes before being finalised.

i dont think we will win the league this year.

Saka obviously needed to move to his right there.

Just pulled back enough for Mount that a clean strike could not be had.

Getting shat on in transitions.
