The first league game and it's already make-or-break time

I have a hunch if we lose to Liverpool there is going to be meltdown at the Emirates.

And if we win? Papering over the cracks?

No. If we win, things will simmer down.

As they would if we bought Mustafi and Lewandowski - especially the latter.

If we do sign the likes of Lewandowski are we proper title contenders?
I'd say we are as I already believe we have a better 'team' than City for example.
That may change once Pep get's things going in his way.

I don't think United will be that great imo.

It's about perceptions. When you buy someone like Ozil or Alexis or Lewandowski that makes you, in some people's eyes, contenders.

If you are right, and I think we've got a shout, then to lose three points at home in the first game in these circumstances would be particularly pathetic.

I agree but let's see what happens. Unfortunately we've been in similar situations before. you'd think we might want to start the season ready but lets see.

It's borderline neglect at this point. For me, an attacker would be a bonus but not essential. A top quality CB is a total no brainer. Even if Per were fully fit, he showed enough times last season that he's a complete liability at times. Hardly surprising that the ball scratcher left him out in the summer.
It's the same every season. The very best teams just walk through our ball watching defence.

I thought this would be Per's last year and even wondered he might not have left in the summer. So when people talk about a stop-gap till he comes back, I wonder.

Exactly.. The faux mourning over Gabriel I found confusing. I thought he was also deemed largely ****, despite a promising first few run outs.
Now it seems our future is hanging in the balance because of him.. Most strange.

I do sometimes wonder if we bought all these players the fans bay for and still didn't win the title, what would the story be? Blame the manager, I guess. Whatever happens, these people can never be wrong.

We've always had some annoying fans but I am almost embarrassed to say I support Arsenal these days. Not because of the team but because of all these twitter types, voting on polls, 'doing madness' Arsenal fan TV.

I'd say this has been happening since about 2011 and since then football has been complete ****.
