Although he wasn't a first teamer, Clichy made enough appearances that season to be an 'Invincible' league medal winner too.

Yup, youngest winner of a Premiership medal...

Pepe LeFrits

Man, I can't wait for tomorrow's game. It's been too long!

Particularly looking forward to seeing Ramsey in action.

Yep, looks like it: www.woolshedbaa.com/wevents.html

Edit: anyone want to go to that? I'd rather see it on a big screen with a pint than watch it on my PC in my bedroom tbh.

Think some of the members of the supporters club are going into Kates to watch it on Amiens street

Pepe LeFrits

Rosicky out for the season opener. Shocker!

Galvasean

Would have liked to meet up with you guys at the Woolshed but alas cant make it. Maybe the next one..
Oh, Setanta Sports 2 are showing it... at 11 o' clock tonight.

Wenger fools me:

Vela replaced in the squad by other new boy Coquelin today apparently.

A shame as I was looking forward to seeing him in action, but there's plenty of interest still with the likes of Ramsey, Lansbury, Wilshere etc involved.

wait.... why? is injured?

Pepe LeFrits

Hmm, no mention of Vela being absent on ATVO - so it might not be true. Fingers crossed.

leninbenjamin

just saw the interview with Vela there. d'ja know, for someone who'd been preparing to join Arsenal for the past three years it smacks me as really od he can't speak English. needed a translator...

Pepe LeFrits

Team:
1. Almunia
2. Clichy
3. Sagna
4. Denilson
5. Nordtveit
6. Hoyte
7. Traore
8. Ramsey
9. Walcott
10. Bendtner
11. Lansbury

Interesting.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Clichy's captain!:pac:

No sign of Vela on the bench or anywhere from what i can see...

Galvasean

Strikes me a s unusual taht there are 5 defenders in the starting XI. Maybe Traore is playing on the wing?

Pepe LeFrits

Midfield four of Traore - Denilson - Ramsey - Lansbury.

Galvasean

Just looking at previous meetings. When we played Barnet in 2004 we beat them 10-1 with hat tricks from Jose Antonio Reyes and Francis Jeffers! :pac:

Pepe LeFrits

lol, 1-0 Barnet!

Almunia beaten from a free-kick, who would believe it :P

Galvasean

Looks like our season is starting the same way last season did. :pac:

Pepe LeFrits

Hate the new home kit, have to say... and the last one was so good.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Ramsey looks to be a great talent, reminds me a bit of Joe Cole actually.

Roddy23

Nice finish by Simpson. 1-1.

Pepe LeFrits

Joe Cole??

He looks class alright but reminds me of Fabregas and Beckham.

1-1, Simpson equalises with an assist from Wilshere. Wilshere looks quality.

I dunno it was something in the way he was doing those turns and dribbling that made me think that, and yeah like Fabregas too.

Wilshere looks great, who needs Hleb!:P

Goal from Barazite! He's been impressive too

Pepe LeFrits

2-1, brilliant goal. Started by Wilshere, setup by Simpson and put away smartly by Barazite.

Roddy23

2-1 nice finish by Barazite. Simpson with the assist.

Lads, who's the co-commentator on Arsenal TV, wrecking my head here?
