Sweet Xmas period though. Bournemouth (a) on boxing day, Chelsea (h) and then United (h) on New Years Day. Not too much travel even if the quality of teams are high.
I can see Emery being under serious pressure by mid September.
Massive pressure from the start. Its to be hoped the boardroom have a plan and Emery needs to voice his needs now.
Not optimistic at all but we can but dream on all fronts. Start getting drastic now Arsenal or like in January you will reap what you sow.
Yep as I said weāll be no more than 11 points after 7 games.
With our annual rinsing at Anfield also in that.
Weāll have our standard good run of form from early October to early December and some people will think weāve made progress.
I think the reality is that the end of season collapse means Emery has no room for hiccups in the early months of the season.
So I make that 7 times in the last 10 season where Arsenal have had to face Liverpool in the opening 3 fixtures of the season
EDIT:
Wins: 1
@Anfield Diabyās amazing game. Cazorla and Poldolskiās first goals.
Draws: 2
Joe Coles and Nuri Sahinās debut. Cole sent off. Koscielny also sent off on debut I think.
Other game Ramsey has a good goal disallowed for offside. Cech has an amazing first half. Benteke save
Loses: 3
4-0 loss. Chamberlainās last game before his move to said club
4-3 loss. @emirates. Played off the park.
0-2 loss. @emirates. Nasriās last game. Frimpong sent off. Comedy own goal
Every club probably says this, but we always seem to have big games right next to each other. Happens to us 3 times next season:
Liverpool (A) then Tottenham (H)
Chelsea (H) then United (H)
Tottenham (A) then Liverpool (H)
Iāve just seen that our first game of the next decade is at home to Man U.
I wonder who their new manager will be by then.
And our last game of this decade is at home to Chelsea
āEasyā October, November and first half of December.
Itās another Arsenal flat track bully special coming, I predict 7 or 8 wins on the spin before we get humbled again by Man City in December.
Lifeās hard when youāre only a mid-sized fishy
West Hamā¦ top 6, completed it mate.
Love that they only won once.
Wonder who the sad losers were.
Iām not sure who the losers were, probably just some mid table team now, but I remember hearing it was the first game they had lost at their new stadium.
To be fair we had about 445,000 shots on goal that day and made Robert Green look like Lev Yashin.
My football memory is awful and even I remember that nightmare game
Iād be happy just to see the team put in a shift on each game even if we lose. Thatās the level of my support at present
Siiiiuuuuacking time.
Protests too hopefully.
Reece Oxford playing Mesut Ozil off the park and then was never seen again*. Good times. Great banter.
*insert Ozil ghost joke here
December/Jan period is horrible. Emery sacked in January.
Bobby Zamora lol ffs
ffs what a start!
Buzzing for the early NLD tho. First time since September 2013 we have one this early in the season.
Same score again please!
