i have a feeling we’ll start against Blackburn
June 12, 2008 at 9:12 pm
Seriously how do they do the fixtures arsenal last season played the other top 3 team in in the space of 2 weeks
June 12, 2008 at 9:13 pm
Probably JamJam. I can’t remember the last time we started our campaign against a ‘top 4′ side.
June 12, 2008 at 9:15 pm
It’s a computer generated thing supposedly Arsenalman.
June 12, 2008 at 9:15 pm
Portsmouth (a)
Chelsea (h)
Boro (a)
is my bet
June 12, 2008 at 9:17 pm
Oh dear.. at least there’s plenty of time to try and get cheap flights to London here from Finland. It’s gonna be tricky one as we’ll start away at Goodison Park. Cheers again Chris.. and Vince.
June 12, 2008 at 9:19 pm
And I have a feeling that we start against Stoke
June 12, 2008 at 9:21 pm
Should we perhaps ask, what it ain’t gonna be? Sp*rs away?
June 12, 2008 at 9:30 pm
i hope we get stoke or hull then we will be top after the first week after winning 7-0
June 12, 2008 at 9:30 pm
Cant wait!! I can feel some big games early on…
June 12, 2008 at 9:54 pm
Lets just hope that for the 1st match we dont do a Fulham and go 1 down really early on and only just score the winner! Or an Aston Villa where we were held 1-1! We need to start well, so Stoke or Hull would be very nice!
June 12, 2008 at 9:54 pm
does it matter who we start against? there is no advantage or disadvantage starting with United or Hull Think the xmas period and April onwards is important
June 12, 2008 at 9:56 pm
obviously all matches are important but its those times which are the most testing on a squad
June 12, 2008 at 10:19 pm
I reckon we will start with….
Man City (a)
Wigan (h)
West Brom (a)
Man United will start at home to Stoke, West Brom or Hull – They always have a home game against the promoted team, normally the Champions
June 12, 2008 at 10:20 pm
Man Utd Away
Chelsea Away
Liverpool Away

If anyone is interested, Arsenal play two friendlies whilst at their pre-season training camp in Bad Waltersdorf, Austria. First match is just over the border in Hungary against Szombathely on 22nd July. The second is against Ritzing on 28th. We played the latter in 2003 drawing 2-2. Both matches are evening kickoffs.
June 12, 2008 at 10:23 pm
As long as we win somthing & dont F up like the end of last season then we can lose all of our 1st 3 games for all i care..
Even if if one of them games include the scum at the emirates.
June 12, 2008 at 10:26 pm
Fast we nid 2 signed players,big names lyk villa,quaresma
June 12, 2008 at 10:45 pm
ARSENAL WILL BE AWAY BECAUSE FOR THE PAST 3 SEASONS WE HAVE BEEN HOME SO EXPECT AN AWAY TRIP IN AUGUST PEOPLE
June 12, 2008 at 10:47 pm
newcastle a
bolton h
stoke a
June 12, 2008 at 10:48 pm
I dont understand you guys. If we play the best teams or worst teams it makes no difference, we are one of the best teams in the premiership we shouldnt fear playing United, they should fear playing us
June 12, 2008 at 10:52 pm
As for guessing who we get thats a pointless exercise, put it this way, teams are normally better when they have a sring of good results behind them, hence why the first two games can be any teams. For the football fans out there theydont want the top four locking horns in the first five matches because there is less riding so early in the season
June 13, 2008 at 2:13 am
Senor Fuchballs I like your style… That would be brilliant.
Man Utd Away
Chelsea Away
Liverpool Away
In any order, as long as they’re all away games.
9pts from 9 and the major headaches out of the way.

Can anyone tell me, If Nasri so good then why dont France play him. They are playing shite but they dont start with him. Have a feeling he is one of those players that still has loads to learn and not maybe as good as the hype surrounding him
