Daily Mails line up :

not a bad team tbf, Ramsay and xhaka are going to have to work bloody hard to keep us in the game and Torreira has to protect le man bun when we don't have the ball.

its a bit crap that we are not playing tomorrow. I hate waiting til Sunday :banghead:
cant see that team lining up on sunday tbh,Torreira and Xhaka aren't match fit,Ramsey isn't fit and im sure Cech starts in goal,i think Guendouzi will be a starter,possibly for xhaka

Miki and Ozil responsible for covering the Citeh wingbacks is a recipe for a rimming.

Well chaps, here we are for a new season without Shit for Brains. Must admit I needed a complete rest from football after the past couple of years, and I'm trying to dismiss the fact that Wig Wearing c.unt has total control (the saddest day since we left THOF) and focus on getting behind good old Dick Emery and the new era

Wild optimism certainly isn't the order of the day, but quiet confidence is. I sincerely hope that everyone gives the bloke this whole season to instil a new mentality and way of playing. Couldn't give two fucks about top 4, and whilst one of the cups would be nice (and we have a genuine chance in the Europa), I don't want it to be deemed as failure if we miss top 4 and fail to pick up a pot

I don't know huge amounts about the new boys, and I'm sorry but I just can't do all this pre-season shit but from what I've heard there are reasons to be cheerful about the new additions. One little rant - what planet is fucking Twirly on? And what planet are the superfans on who give a shit whether this overrated, flaky turd signs a new deal or not? Make him play with the stiffs and f.uck him off - one season out of ten and he thinks he could hold the club over a barrel. Go fuck yourself you limpdicked waster. Hopefully Poppadum Wrists Pete will follow him out in January too

Oh, the game? Well, the quietly confident me says 2-1, the realist says 2-3. Either way I think it will be a decent game and hope everyone who is going gets behind #inunaiwetrust !

Is it just the cynic in me - what chances that the club announce Ramsey's new contract before the game tomorrow as some sort of big deal.

Whatever you think of him, fairplay to him cos it would appear that his agent has fucked the club over in the contract negotiations. When the figures finally find their way out in to the public domain we can judge who got the better deal.

Or he might still fuck off abroad I suppose.

Hope young Reiss gets a run out. Our biggest young talent imo, yes bigger than Doozi.

I remember reading that Emery has got a 2 year contract with another year pending . So that's his target . 2 years to get a top four and another to see how he gets on. Therefor I don't expect too much from this season except I hope to see a little squad adjustment in January after he has had a look at things in a competitive environment . With AMN , Nelson , Nketiah, Wilmott , Smith Rowe and others it would be nice to see the league cup come our way , get to know what winning for the club feels like . Other than that I anticipate qualifying for the Europa again , and then let the fireworks begin in his second year.

Considering you think Caz is a good nickname for Lacazette and not Cazorla.... dare I ask who the fuck is Doozi?! :lol:

It's not me who nicknamed Lacazette "Caz". :?

Doozi is non other than our curly haired midfield schemer, Guendouzi.

Looking forward to another new season. A bit more hopeful this year without Da General. Where did we end up last season - 7th, I 'm sure we can do better this year - maybe 6th !!. This game 1-1. :barscarf: :barscarf:

Cech will start with the Armband on! Interesting choice IMO.
