Premier League weekend fixtures 11/12/13 August

So Giroud has a nice touch , can finish and good in the air but many don't rate him and he doesn't start.

I don't get it. His goals to minutes ratio must be one of the best in the league.
 
Let's revisit this in December/January when/if Arsenal are out of Europa or still surviving Thursday nights. If they were out of Europe all together, it would obviously help them but that's not the case.

They will throw the EL so they can secure their 4th place trophy.
 
Arse fans are cringe, singing we are top of the league and like they're beating Real Madrid.

Teams with better defensive organisation might fancy themselves at the Emirates. Conceding 3 goals at home as a top side should concern the fans.
 
Carragher and Tyler must be under instructions to big up Sky as much as possible. So cringe

They won't play every week without Koscielny and Mustafi.
 
Giroud is very underrated.

but not good enough to be the main center forward throughout the entirety of a season hence using Welbeck, Sanchez and Lacazette. He's good at what he does, finishing with his head and intricate link up play around the box, especially with his back to goal.
 
Giroud is like cheat mode for arsenal coming on when they're a goal down :lol:
 
Giroud is very underrated.

When you come in after Wright/Bergkamp/Henry/RVP & play a tier or two below their level, you're always going to be underrated. He's a solid player, but not quite as good as what they've enjoyed in the past.
 
Would love to see this Arsenal side be like Newcastle of the mid-90s. Just go for it every week. They may die on their arse, but the games would be tremendous fun.
 
Arsenal screw up and comeback. Get a possible handball goal.
Lucky Wenger again. Even last season they got lucky with decisions in the initial stages iirc.

Yeah I honestly feel this must be a pundit plot to keep Wenger focused on the wrong problems. Year after year they shittalk Giroud like he´s the main problem and not their complete lack of leadership and quality in the middle of the pitch.

It must torment certain Arsenal fans, loving nights like this but knowing it just keeps Wenger in for longer.
 
Premier league opener on a Friday just isn't right. I'm supposed to be hungover or up north at the cottage drinking morning beers on a Saturday.
 
Feck me Mark Clattenburg's accent is strange, he doesn't sound English at all.
 
Gutted I missed that. Great way to start the season.

I'm worried we'll struggle tomorrow but it's probably just me being a pessimist.

Yeah, someone should tell the fans they shouldn't celebrate a dramatic late comeback
I'm not saying they can't celebrate the comeback, but the chants of 'We're top of the league' etc are, whilst I hope in tongue and cheek, total cringe. If I was an arsenal fan there tonight for sure I'd be happy with the late win, but I'd be more concerned about letting 3 in at home to Leicester.

Giroud also gets right on my tits so I'm also being grumpy.
 
Not looking forward tomorrow, if it's anything like this shite tonight.. high octane, full throttle, Watford giving it large. Think I might just go out do some shopping.

Not surprising with viewing figures and subscriptions dropping. They've always done that, but they've moved on from constantly calling it the best league 10 years ago to the most entertaining league in the world 5 years ago to now calling it the most watched. No doubt it'll become the strapline fans pick up too.

I never understood stupid comments like this. After a win like that any fan would obviously be happy with coming away with 3 points. So would you.
