Oh jeeeezuss😮‍💨
Still, COYG…. in Benjamin own words, “let’s put this right”

Ebo

I hate to be that person but I called it here in tbese very threads last weekend after the game, that if Timber made it to practice the next day fully fit he’d be taking over that spot from Zinchenko from now on.

Actually I don’t fully hate being that person, more of a love hate relationship.

89 again

It’s not really an original take, all of the discourse around Zinchenko has been that he will lose his place.

Ebo

Were others as adamant that it would be as soon as from Villa onwards?

89 again

Yeah pretty much, most people have believed that other options will be used as soon as they are available. Well done for writing it down in a comment section though

Ebo

Well done for putting me in my place. I will from now on know I should shut up and not jokingly be smug about things I mentioned before and was right about, without at least first researching whether other people have also said the same things. I’ll only have to check every blog and publication and podcast I don’t normally listen to and listen in on every pub conversation, shouldn’t be too hard though.

89 again

No problem, happy to help x

CLEGooner.

You clearly LOVE being that person. Being correct rules.

Ebo

It absolutely does and I meant exactly as I said, I love and hate being that person very much.

yes

ebo no-one would ever accuse you of hating being that person

Ebo

except myself I guess? Because as I just said, I do at least partly hate being that person?

For some reason that part or the self deprecating humour of it didn’t seem to register, which is making me reevaluate whether I should even be commenting here. Unless the downvotes and these responses are equally as ironic as my comment was in the first place, in which case I guess I should reevaluate my reevaluation.

Tankard Gooner

Think all the down votes are for your perceived smugness in the face of us looking at you ludicrously.
In fact, most of us are looking at you (or even back when you said it) with an air of common agreement.
So, suck it. We agree with you.

Alan Sunderland

You might be wrong by this time next week.

Ebo

I absolutely might be, but I bet I won’t be. And with that you’ve given me another opportunity to be smugly right about basically the same thing.

Alan Sunderland

Can see zinchenko starting against Brighton. Wouldn’t be surprised if Califiori started either.

Ebo

*cues up Ben Kingsley voice* no. No no no no no no. No no no no no no no no no.

Timberoo. 100% Timberinho. Unless he picks up an injury, Timber van Timbersson. I’m not a betting person at all but I’d actually be willing to bet 50 quid on that.

Paul

Perfect imo.

Al m

Jesus injured! My god what a surprise.
No Zinchenko, what a blessing

Ealing

Most probably precautionary

myrtle

Jesus out already in news shocker.

Any bets how long into September Nelson is starting games because we didn’t bother to improve the front 5 this summer? My bet is 2 weeks. One more injury and that is very much a reality.

Dhanesh

Sad to hear about Jesus and hope he recovers soon.
On the plus side, love that Timber is starting.
Assuming we cannot depend on Nketiah and Nelson (considering the transfer rumours), and Trossard being the only other option upfront, I feel these kind of situations would make Arteta want to sign another forward/winger. Maybe we are and everything is hush-hush, but I hope we get a surprise before the transfer deadline.

Regardless, hope we win this!

frank from vienna

i´d prefer Jorginho over Partey but ok….. sorry for Jesus, he needs to stay fit! big game for Martinelli, he needs to deliver

Big Daddy Joeh

New season, Jesus random injuries. How long are we going to persist with that guy?

london

Stop crucifying Jesus for his injury history.

Dr. Gooner

He will rise again

Dada

Until he comes back.

Bukake Saka

Sad to hear you have no more faith in Jesus.

Bobbert

The wide areas are always exploitable against emery sides, and those fullbacks are suspect. Maintaining control and forcing them to play our slower game is paramount- getting drawn in by the crowd and emery’s basketball game tactics won’t do us any good.

CLEGooner.

Jesus now I. The tomi/Wilshere/Diaby bin. Just totally unreliable. More reason to buy someone

Redbaron

Wonder what issues are there with “model professional” Jorginho? Partey is a walking disaster in such games.

Arsepedant

That aged well.

Original Big Dave

Did you know Bailey Rogers Watkins?

TeeCee

Wasn’t he a character in “Atlas Shrugged”?

Kevin Richardson / Jorginho

If we were to sell Eddie and Reiss, as is expected, who the fuck would be on the bench? We really need a few signings next week.

hypnotoadGooner

put me in coach

Aswin

Without Jesus our attacking options looks thin.

Dr. Gooner

1-2

Freezedawg of Sweden

0-2 clean sheet COYG

Dr. Gooner

Give them nothing.

Teryima Adi

2-0 to the Arsenal. COYG!!!

Vieiraera

Let’s hope Martinelli plays a little less within himself today otherwise MA shouldn’t wait too long to bring Trossard on. Otherwise, solid line up and bench! Let’s bring all 3 points home !

Dr. Gooner

Apparently you can do anything you want to Gabriel Magalhaes as an attacker and it’s not a foul.

Emi Rates

Get in!

And fuck Aston Villa!
