30 minutes after the incident happened? Should we expect to hear him crying in the press about the challenge, only to make a miraculous recovery in time to play this weekend?

[BaZ87]

expect him to put a few past liverpool.

He's signing for West Brom?

 

[Purdy]

expect him to put a few past liverpool.

Really? Last time he played us he missed a 1v1 vs Reina (who was **** at them last year, worst I've probably seen him) and diving constantly and even got booked for it once as well didn't he? Not much to be scared of from monkeyman

 

[cm1179]

well we shall see how it goes this season wont we, liverpool fans?

Yes, I sincerely hope Spurs get relegated.

 

[cm1179]

Yes, I sincerely hope Spurs get relegated.

OUCH

 

[DiCe!]

OUCH

The claws are out, Downing vs Bale, I know who I and every sane person in the world would have on the left.

I dont want Liverpool to get relegated, I do however want Everton to finish above them.

3 at the back? Are they really going for that this season?

Bit late but,

Yeh i think we are. Unless we are just doing it so everyone is comfortable doing it if necessary. It depends on if we get another CB.

I certainly think we have the players to do it but we could do with another CB. I think it plays to the strengths of people like Yaya, Kolarov and Richards etc which is good.

For Sunday though i feel Mancini will go with our 4231 from last season.

Fulham away is an odd one, not sure how we'll do.

 

[jonneymendoza]

Football returns!

well done

 

[Maccy]

Not a fan of who Zola has bought in?? Quite liked the idea of Almunia in goal and Fitz Hall isn't all that bad in the champ...

I won't comment until I've seen how we do, I wouldn't be surprised if it's just typical Watford style of play - hoof the ball up field and see what happens!

 

[HangTime]

Vermaelen somewhat unsurprisingly has been announced as Arsenal captain.
Not sure who will now take over as vice-captain but I expect Arteta to be a candidate given Wilshere's injury and the fact Rosicky will likely be a squad player.

Feeling really confident going into the new season, first time in a while!

Same! I'm so excited I could pee! Roll on Saturday afternoon!

A lot of people already saying that the Monday night game is a foregone conclusion.

We're good at crashing parties, may I remind you?
