Arsenal vs Sunderland: Match Thread

I thought Giroud played well on Sunday, he should be given a crack at starting.

 

Read somewhere that he is not fully fit after playing for France in midweek.

 

This has been asked loads of times before I'm sure, but why the **** do we have international friendlies just before the start of the season? What a stupid idea. Slightly worried with Song buggering off too that we're gonna be very weak against Sunderland. Hopefully we have enough to pull through before bringing a couple of new faces in.

 

I am now slightly worried about the game against Sunderland as well. Thankfully, it's at the Emirates and home advantage gives us the edge and I feel all eyes will be on Cazorla, just hope he hits the ground running.

 

I don't think cazorla will start, Diaby is fit, wenger will attempt to shoehorn him in somewhere.

 

I like Diaby, but my heart will sink if we do not see Cazorla from the start. He is the player we all want to see and give us a lift after the events of this week.

 

Is Cazorla going to be fully fit? He played the full 90 the other day for spain (he scored too), and had a very long flight back.

 

Yeahhh, Diaby would be moved into the CAM and Ramsey will be the guy in sitting back position with Arteta.

 

Never knew those ****s played him for the full 90. Oh balls.

 

I've just had a worrying thought. If Theo's injured, and Giroud unfit, we may have to start Chamakh. If we move Poldi into the middle, we'd have nobody to put on the wing.

 

Think Walcott might be fine. He had a 'bruised thigh' but from the pictures I saw, it looks like he took part in full training today. Giroud and Cazorla are more of a fatigue issue after their midweek travels.

 

Giroud played 70 minutes for France, and didn't have as far to travel, so he may be alright.

 

Right, having seen how delusional some of the sunderlands fans are, i'm hoping we smash them tomorrow.

 

Never mind you used to scare teams at 1 time

 

You'll be scared after tomorrow. Your defenders are going to apply for a restraining order against Cazorla.

 

It's funny 'cause we're probably gonna lose.

 

Loving the positive energy

We've lost 1 striker who didn't look match fit last week, and now we're losing a defensive liabilty. Sunderland lack quality, we should easily beat them. I'll save my fears for the bigger games.

 

Jenkinson to Giroud might be a decent goal scoring combo this season, he does have one hell of a cross.

 

I'm really excited about going today.I've a feeling this is going to be a good season

 

I think we will improve a lot this season. Just being "decent" the first 8 weeks could get us 10-15 points more, and we have more depth in attack and midfield (probably).
