Hello and welcome back to our coverage of the Premier League! After a couple of months away, with nothing but tedious pre-season friendlies and incessant transfer rumours to keep us occupied, Premier League football is finally back.
Arsenal begin the new season and looks to challenge for the Premier League title, asusual as any seasons before.
Let's have premier league matchday discussions here..
By the way, Ix Techau, how is that Prediction thing coming along? Will you be able to release it before next season?

LIKE THE FAMOUS MSN AND BBC, ARSENAL FANS HAVE AOL TO CHEER!!!
Finally we saw the debut of AOL on Sunday, should make the most of every game the trio play in this season as it may not last for much longer. Whether Ozil and Alexis stay or not, Wenger claims that the club would consider selling both players in January if there is still no agreement on an extension by then.

Amazing what we can actually do. Perhaps some replacements for Sanchez and Ozil would help us.

MANCHESTER CITY VS ARSENAL
The stats make for daunting reading ahead of our trip to the Etihad to take on Manchester City this Sunday.
The hosts have played 10 Premier League games, won nine, scored 35 goals and conceded just six. On top of that, they have scored 20 goals in their last four home matches, a record that is more than 18 of the 19 clubs in the division have managed in total so far this term.
Many have already anointed Pep Guardiola’s side as champions-elect, even at this early stage, but Arsene Wenger remains confident his side can spring a surprise on the Citizens this weekend. His side must be “prepared to take a risk” he says, and the prospect of two attacking sides going toe-to-toe remains an enticing one.

Cant understand why they needed help. MC was a better team, but if they are they need to capitalise. We had good patches and we were defending against one of the best in form teams in Europe, and yet they were gifted 2 goals and 10 yellows.
I'm sick of this shit, every faking time it's so easy to spit on Arsenal without consequences from commentators, fans, old Arsenal players, refs, your grandmother. We have right to be the weaker team, and play shit and have problems and lose, but this is bullshit and it reaching next level.

I don't want to make it as an excuse for the loss, but its surely robbed the momentum we got after Laca's goal in the second half.. the penalty call was a 50-50 so can't claim much, but the third goal was surely an offside unless the linesman was sleeping... It could have been a great game if refereeing was atleast at normal standards.

It wasn't just the penalty. They stopped in first half 3-4 counters with hard tackles and none get yellow. First such foul from us an instant yellow (rightfully). Monreal foul anywhere else on the field would not be foul, I was thinking its other way around, not giving every touch as a penalty.

Also, I don't think it was Ozil's type of game. We were more on the defensive side and I think Wilshere would of started ahead of him

even Alexis is yet to recover from the summer transfer shock... if he plays to his level, we could surely see different results.. Let him leave anywhere by next summer.........
