Am I the only one tired of the Carragher/Neville sly jab stick?

No your not.
Beyond tedious at this stage.

Not sure I'm feeling the love for Kelly Cates either.

Mr.Nice Guy

Lacazette scored a hat-trick in the opening game of Ligue 1 last season, away to Nancy. I hope he starts strong tonight as well.

Swear as if it was the royal rumble with this new line up presentation.

That_Guy

These Sky lineup pictures remind me of wrestling match ups....

Osmosis Jones

Vardy holding a football in his lineup photo bothers me more than it should.

Amazing! Lacazette!!

Gorgeous header from Lacazette.

Osmosis Jones

I'm gonna be upset at every goal he scores.

Mr.Nice Guy

Arsenal have looked nothing short of fantastic, can't believe that.

That_Guy

Gwan Leicester!!

Johner

Wenger in.

GreNoLi

First thing I hear when I bring up the stream is 'F'kin sh--'...and Vardy scores.

Vicxas

Great game so far, what you want from an opening day!

Mushy

It's only taken 30 minutes for everyone to be anticipating Arsenal tv

GavRedKing

Arsenal back 3 all over the place tonight.

Mr.Nice Guy

Leicester are enjoying more joy on the left than Jeremy Corbyn.

Two pathetic bits of play for the goals. Same old same old. Will never change with Wenger anywhere near the club.

No no, that was going to be what turned the team around.

tayto lover

You have to be able to defend and we can't.
Wenger neglecting this area. Don't care who's missing, we have poor defenders.

They done well last year towards the end dont know what happened tonight but Monrael shouldnt be as a CB and especially not the main man in the middle.

That_Guy

Nobody can defend in this league. It's like a well attended version of League of Ireland with bigger stadiums is all.

Bit of a myth. Beat **** mid-table teams and united who had given up on the league. Also lost to spurs. Was a slight improvement but consistent with a typical arsenal patch season.

irishman86

Clear penalty

Yeah, no it's not.


Anyways, arsenal's back 3 has 2 full backs and a lad in it his second season at premier league level not majorly surprising they're struggling.

doc_17

Holding is struggling badly.

I hate how those handballs aren't given. Player puts his hand in a place away from his body where the ball could hit it. Ball hits it but it's somehow 'accidental handball'.

Vicxas

I wonder if Mahrez will stay if Leicester keep playing like this.

The argument of being too close I guess. A poor argument when arms are that high
