Bit brain dead by the club. Who’s the fucking youth keeper? Be just our luck for Ramsdale to fall down the stairs tonight or get injured in the warm up tomorrow.

He's Bean with us ages! :D

Same starting 11 as last Sunday you’d have to imagine.

A few goals (Havertz amongst them please) and a clean sheet would be the perfect start for me.

We’re back baby :barscarf:

Better hope nothing happens to Ramsdale. Hein is a fucking calamity keeper, makes Runarsson look like prime Seaman. Last 3 games I've seen bits of with the first team he's fucked up majorly! Okwonko is a far better keeper but we're selling him.... :roll:

Fucking excited about today, please don't fuck it up Arsenal, make a statement.....I'll settle for 5-0 like last season please :barscarf:

Law changes for this season....

Odds on a record number of yellows in a match today? And a ridiculous red? :roll: :lol:

I don’t remember Ramsdale ever having to go off injured in a game and my arse has been chewing on my undies all morning convinced it will happen after 5 minutes today.

I’m catastrophizing again, we’re definitely back.

So Partey at right back? Pretty mental when we have four actual right backs in the squad (not that I’d expect or want Cedric to play)
Also no Tierney in the squad at all today so surely he’s off. Could easily had him on the left and timber on right so clearly he’s not in artetas plans at all.

Interesting decision. Should create plenty with that line up. I’m going for a 3-1 win

Goes without saying that not a single Manure, victims or man cheatingy player will receive a booking all season for charging at the ref but we'll have five bookings and a sending off every game. Also, I love the get tough on swearing thing which will again mean refs do nothing when the above players shout cûnt at him but will mean we have a player sent off for shrugging his shoulders.

The new ticketing system is an absolute cluster fuck I see. Well there’s a surprising. Everything around ticketing from trying to acquire them to accessing the ground is a shit show.

Heads should roll.
