Newcastle United v The Arsenal, 14:00 BST, SS Main Event (10/08)

[McNamara That Ghost...]

A new season begins!

Big Andy is back for Newcastle so that's us getting fucked over straight off the bat

Come on Arsenal.

Throw all the new signings in.

[SMatthews]

Pepe got a nasty kick in training (probably Mustafi) but should be ok. As should Lacazette.

Think Willock is in with a shout. Ceballos prob on the bench. Luiz to start with Sok.

Glad we’re starting away, we need to keep improving and turning up away from home.

That said, if we’re looking at fourth then we’ll lose a good few games along the way and most of them will be away.

[Marc Overmars]

Don’t really know what to expect if I’m honest.

At least David Luiz should go straight in.

We have to sort our away form out this year.

[GP]

Big changes, all bets are off.

Make no mistake, this is Emery's team now, hes got to deliver

[LDG]

5 nil to The Arsenal

AMN-------SOK------Louise-----Monreal

-----------Willock-----Xhaka-------------

Mhki--------------Ozil---------------Auba

----------------Lacazette------------------


No idea how fit / ready to start Ceballos, Tierney or Pepe is so will have to be the usual suspects.

[Mac76]

i'd much rather have started with a home fixture, Newcastle away with Carroll up front is definitely a potential banana skin

i just hope we're solid, get decent possession and give Auba and Laca plenty of chances to do their thang

[dazthegooner]

Think Carroll is injured (I know shocking if true)

[SMatthews]

Yeah he has an ankle injury so won’t be in the squad.
