Newcastle Utd v Arsenal August 13th

[Master Splinter]

FFS. We're definitely losing now.

[Boss]

IMO we'll win this.

[Cripps_orig]

Im living in hope rather than expectation.

Im fully prepared for the worst August of Arsenal history tbh

if you mix competitive and non competitive fixtures we have won six games from the past twenty three games (23 games competitive and non competitive since we beat Barcelona in February), I am not optimistic for this game, statistics give me no reason to be optimistic

Three wins from our last nine away games
The only player from last season and in pre-season who seems capable of scoring goals is Robin Van Persie
We will conceed goals, our defence is incapable of leadership and stopping itself from making howlers

First few games of the season are pretty random usually.

This, these games like those shity Group stage games don't really tell you anything. We could win 6-0 tommrow still won't tell us how we've changed.

Newcastle to win 2-1

Our first choice back four didn't concede a goal for the entirety of pre-season.

That's how much you can trust stats.

We're not going to know if it's good news till May, problem is we'll know the bad news by October.

1-3. RvP x2 and Gervinho.
