Yes the opening weekend of the Premiership (or whatever the fuck it’s called now) is finally here and it’s started with a bang…a 94th minute Sunderland winner against the scum. Haha love it 
We play tomorrow at home and Fulham are the visitors. I mentioned yesterday that Gilberto is out and Ade is unlikely to play, well you can add Eduardo to that list now as he’ll have a late fitness test. He looks likely to feature though and this is what Le Boss said about him:
“Certainly I would not be scared to play him. Maybe he will need a little bit of time but he is a fighter. He has the ability to score goals, he is quick and a team player so you are never scared to put in these players.”
If there’s any doubt about his injury I don’t think Arsene will risk him in a game like this. We could go with Hleb centrally behind Van Persie but that might be a bit defensive so there’s also the option of having the hungry Theo Walcott partnering the Dutchman.
The result of tomorrow’s game could really be anything; we’ve looked up for it this pre-season and we could thrash Fulham by a few goals, or maybe just nick it by one. However, I’m sure Fulham won’t be there just to make up the numbers, we cant underestimate them…last season Villa came on the opening day and frustrated us to a 1-1 draw. Don’t be too surprised if that happens again.
I’m looking forward to seeing how the atmosphere will be tomorrow, it was quite disappointing last season at times and with the departures we’ve had this summer we really need the fans to get behind this young side. I’m thinking it’ll be good but we’ll have to wait and see.
Right-i-o I have to get to work now. Enjoy the game tomorrow and should have a match report up Monday.
So, what’s your predictions? Mine? 2-0 Arsenal.
