I was at the first game of the season (and possibly my last for a while). Time for revenge!
Come on you gooners!

Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
Villa are not very good. Should be a comfortable win.
Then again we said that last time.
Who's the ref for this one?
NOTE: The location of this post has been moved and the thread title (which was previously Wenger is Leaving) has been manipulated by a notorious pro-Wenger moderator. What was previously a message that contained no profanity and made a comment on a real life event has now been manipulated by a deliberately provocative title. An old and crude propaganda and censorship technique.

thanks for the reminder. i had gotten over it haha
hopefully going to this one, should be good
While there's no doubt it was entirely Anthony Taylor's fault that we somehow lost the game at The Emirates, Villa for some reason do seem to be a bit of a bitch to overcome for us in our recent history.
If we don't beat them away from home (where we are brilliant and they are timid to say the least), then it's genuinely pathetic. They can barely score, have just lost to Sheffield United and have about a 20% possession average. Withstanding another corrupt referee, this has to be an absolute banker considering our form and the big rest we have prior to the game.
I'd like to see Gnabry rewarded for his performance, especially as at this stage he's still a mostly unknown quantity and could do serious damage to pub teams if he is unleashed. I think Wenget will go for an On Paper™ strongest team though (I assume Theo is most likely out for this).
Szczesny
Sagna
BFG
Koscielny
Gibbs/Monreal
Arteta
Wilshere
Rosicky
Ozil
Giroud
Cazorla
1-3 (Giroud, Cazorla, Podolski).
0-3
Ozil hattrick
Woy
Sagna
Merkyl
Kos
Gibbs
Arteta
Wilshere
Gnabry
Rosicky
Cazorla
Giroud
On form, I would go with that lot. I can't see a repeat of the farce that was the home game.
Don't think it's been decided yet. There's nothing on the PL website yet.
As long as we avoid, Taylor, Mason, Dean, Dowd or Webb it should be fine. Wouldn't mind Clattenburg or Marriner, we have quite good records with them.
As for the team:
Ches
Sagna
Kos
BFG
Gibbs
Arteta
Ozil
Wilshere
Santi
Giroud
Walcott
I'd much rather start Gnabry ahead of Wilshere with Santi moving to the centre but I doubt Wenger will opt for that.

I heard yesterday that Theo's out for potentially 4 weeks
I haven't heard diddly squat, but if he is back for the next game, there must be a pig in the universe somewhere flying. Really didn't look great. I assumed it wouldn't be a dramatically long time because Theo didn't exactly look distraught but I'd be amazed if he was ready to play in this.
