Pulis. Hoof.

I also got Brendan. I suspect there may only be four or five options.

Start by acknowledging that Gibbs is probably not even the best left-back at Arsenal...and then score him higher than Dave?

The new changes to the offside rule explained.

A strong Man city are losing 4-0 at Stuttgart.

 

Well, 4-1 now right at the death. But still. Wow.

I've also created a head to head league, where everyone plays everyone in a fixture list with 3pts for a win etc.

Daily Mail is amusing every day.

Although I stopped reading the article when they rated Cahill higher than Koscielny.

Ok, I carried on. He's comparing Matic and Wilshere, surely if anybody you'd be comparing Matic to Coquelin as they play the same role? Daily Mail. Pfffft. I've just gone and given them another click.

Olivier Giroud 7 

Striker is still another area that many feel Arsenal are lacking in. Giroud is a very good player and a sound goalscorer, but never feels like one who will find you that winner in a cup final.

Technically, he did score the winner in the cup final. Twat.

The Daily Mail:

I dunno. Some of the Daily Mail's stuff is genuinely quite illuminating and challenging journalism that challenges the comfortable pre-conceived notions that we lefties often have.

Goddamn people linking to the Daily Mail. Pretty sure we keep them in business going to see how bad they are.

Chelsea's 2014/15 top scorer Diego Costa hasn't recovered from a hamstring injury, while summer loan signing from Monaco, Radamel Falcao, could make his debut from the substitutes bench. The Blues make four changes to the side who finished last game last season with Thibaut Courtois, Cesc Fabregas, Ramires and Loic Remy all starting. Goalkeeper Petr Cech will make his Arsenal debut against his old side at Wembley as the Gunners look to defend their Community Shield title from last season. Forward Alexis Sanchez misses out because of his Copa America involvement, while Theo Walcott is expected to play as the lone striker having signed a new deal at the club this summer.

Chelsea XI: Courtois, Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Matic, Fabregas, Ramires, Willian, Hazard, Remy.
Subs: Begovic, Zouma, Mikel, Oscar, Cuadrado, Moses, Falcao.

Arsenal XI: Cech, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Cazorla, Ramsey, Ozil, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Walcott.
Subs: Martinez, Debuchy, Gibbs, Gabriel, Arteta, Iwobi, Giroud.
