And So It Begins: Community Shield, The Arsenal v. FC Chelsea 2003, Sunday August 6 2017 1400 GMT

COYF'n'G!!! LET'S DO THIS!!!

 

Starting lineup same as fa cup but laca instead of Alexis?

 

Hi guys. Glad to see @mebeSajid resuming hiss winning run.

And happy that my week's vaca in Maine is returning us home 12hrs early so that I can watch this live... after a solid 6hrs of sleep.

P.s. A week on the "Down East" coast of Maine is a wonderful thing. Highly recommended.

 

Cech
Kos Per Monreal
Ox Xhaka Ramsey Kolas
Ozil
Giroud Lacazette

Is what I think we will do.

 

That 3-man back-line worked for us late last season, obviously Arsene Wenger still remembers how well the Koscielny/BFG/Nacho combination did last season, hoping also to see the Petr Cech Laundromat back in full operations this season, with his guaranteed clean sheets!!!

....and yes Chel$ki fans, he is never closed on Sundays, sorry. COYF'n'G!!!

 

Be interesting to see how effective this preseason was and how guys have come to better grips with a back 3.

 

Good luck and hopefully no injuries.

 

CONFIRMED:

Nacho-BFG-Holding back 3 in Starting XI, COYF'n'G!!!

But no Alexis, although he may be on the bench he did come up gimpy, so he's doubtful this afternoon.

 

Kickoff minutes away, wake up guys! COYF'n'G!

 

Minute of silence right now

 

Is it me or am I the only one who is watching?

 

I'm here.

Uhh, Danny looks good. Does that help?

 

Me too.

Is it my TV or are our new kits a darker more crimson color?

 

They DO look a bit darker shade of red too.

 

Was that danny with that tricky ball skill outside the area? I didn't know he had that in him!

 

Off the Post! SHIT!

 

That build up play really made me smile. Capped off with the shot against the post By Laca.

 

Lacazette looking good early in his Arsenal debut, right now BFG getting some stitches in the box picking up a knock early.

 

Ouch. BFG with an bloody and maybe broken nose.

 

Per out. And no CB's on the bench?

 

Watching Kolsinac take his warmup off, I think he could have a backup career as a bouncer. Dude was ripped.

 

And another Chelsea player booked for diving in the Wembkey penalty area.

 

Willian doing his Victor Moses impression trying to make the Chelsea diving team, gets booked

 

Any streams guys? I'm baffled this one isnt on tv.
