Ginola

He'll start for Chelsea when he's available I think.

He was shocking yesterday, as he always is. The reasom Arsenal didn't score was because our CBs played well and they don't get bodies in the box, nothing to do with Raylor.

Drogba

Start him as the second striker, he looked really good when he came on there yesterday.

Sturridges suspension is probably a factor in him not playing. Hope Chelsea win this, I really can't stand Stoke.

I really hope we've got a new LB in for this. Raylor is a car crash of a player.

Absolutely class yesterday.

Happy with the point and the performance pretty much backed up what we already know. We need a striker and left back bringing in. Obertan looked lively when he came on, provided a nice injection of pace.

He looked good yesterday, but you'd expect most wingers to look good when put up against Ryan Taylor. Difficult to make an accurate judgement based on yesterdays game.

He'd be a class signing. I can't see it happening but can only hope it does

Its like Christmas Eve. Cant bear all the arguing about Ashley and AP and money and blah and blah. Get up tomorrow, soccer AM, some scran, head into town at 3, meet the lads, beers then support the lads. Great Days. Love it! Start of the PL season is so much better.

My team btw: Cech Bosingwa Ferdinand Kompany Enrique Nani Malouda N'Zogba Bent Dzeko Campbell Subs: Ruddy Pilkington Simpson Ferguson £1.0m spare.

Trying to change again already, man?

I think Rich is pretty safe with this one, like.

The main thing we'll miss from Nolan is his leadership qualities. As a player when he wasn't scoring he wasn't doing much at all.

Jonas becoming a class LB

Earliest they can potentially rejoin the MLS is 2013 according to the great source of Wikipedia.

Am I the only one that chucked at "Arse Blog?"

Aye me too. It's a fuking disease. Thing is, I'm actually quite happy with the team I've got at the moment, but I know I'll change it at some point anyway.

Changed my team about 4 times already this week, and I'll more than likely change it again before the start.

Can't see any role for him this season really.

I don't know a thing about him apart from him being a typical Arsenal attacking mid who will probably play on the wing. Good player, typical Arsenal signing but I think he'll do well for you. The season Shakhtar won the Europa League I won a fair bit of money from bets involving him as well.

Bore.

Everybody seems to think he's out but I, personally, think he'll play. We'll know more tomorrow I suppose midday when Mr Wenger does his press conference. That was pretty much what I thought. I was under the impression that his injury was just a slight knock and that he'd be available for the start of the season, but had been hearing it was more serious since then so wasn't sure. Near enough guaranteed he'll score if he starts though.
